BcPHT1;9 mediates phosphate uptake and modulates root architecture in flowering Chinese cabbage
Phosphorus (P) is an essential macronutrient for plant growth and development. The absorption and transport of phosphate in plants rely on phosphate transporter-encoded proteins, named PHT1 transporters. Flowering Chinese cabbage is an important vegetable crop, while the molecula...

The perception of realism is correlated with physical gamuts
Realism remains an unresolved question in vision science. This study investigates whether the physical gamut correlates with realism judgements. We conducted psychophysical experiments where observers judged the realism of natural scenes with target regions manipulated across the...

Human iPSC-based skeletal muscle model of LAMA2-related congenital muscular dystrophy
Congenital muscular dystrophies (CMDs) are rare, devastating pediatric conditions with no specific treatment or cure. The most common form, LAMA2-related CMD, or LAMA2-CMD (previously known as merosin-deficiency and MDC type 1 A), is caused by myofiber instability from loss of th...
