THE NOVEL MICROWAVE TEMPERATURE VEGETATION DROUGHT INDEX (MTVDI) CAPTURES CANOPY SEASONALITY ACROSS AMAZONIAN TROPICAL EVERGREEN FORESTS

The Novel Microwave Temperature Vegetation Drought Index (MTVDI) Captures Canopy Seasonality across Amazonian Tropical Evergreen Forests

Despite its perennial canopy, the Amazonian tropical evergreen forest shows significant canopy growth seasonality, which has been represented by optical satellite-based observations.In this paper, a new Microwave Temperature–Vegetation Drought Index (MTVDI) based on Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for the Earth Observing System (AMSR-E) se

Genome-wide analysis of the WSD family in sunflower and functional identification of HaWSD9 involvement in wax ester biosynthesis and osmotic stress

The wax esters are important cuticular wax composition that cover the outer surface of plant organs and play a critical role in protection and energy metabolism.Wax ester synthesis in plant is catalyzed by a bifunctional wax ester synthase/acyl-CoA: diacylglycerol acyltransferase (WSD).Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is an important oil crop in th

Healing of periodontal flaps when closed with silk sutures and N-butyl cyanoacrylate: A clinical and histological study

Background: The closure of the periodontal flaps post-surgery is a necessity for attainment of a primary union between the flap margins and the establishment of a healthy dentogingival junction.N-butyl cyanoacrylate is a tissue adhesive, which can be used for the closure of the incised wounds to overcome click here the problems associated with conv
