WHY DOES STRAWBERRY FRUIT WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION SHOW POSITIVE SKEWNESS? A SIMULATION MODEL REVEALS THE UNDERLYING PROCESSES OF FRUIT PRODUCTION

Why does strawberry fruit weight distribution show positive skewness? A simulation model reveals the underlying processes of fruit production

It is widely accepted that the weight distribution of plant fruits Soft Books conforms to a standard normal distribution.However, some overlooked evidence suggests that some fruits, including strawberries, exhibit positive skewness in fruit weight distribution.This intriguing observation has received limited attention thus far.To shed light on this

Oncometabolite lactate enhances breast cancer progression by orchestrating histone lactylation-dependent c-Myc expression

Due to the enhanced glycolytic rate, cancer cells generate lactate copiously, subsequently promoting the lactylation of histones.While previous studies have explored the impact of histone lactylation in modulating gene expression, the precise role of this epigenetic modification in regulating oncogenes is largely unchartered.In this study, using br

Transcriptional and biochemical profiling of defense enzymes in Citrus sinensis during salicylic acid and cinnamon mediated suppression of green and blue mold

Green and blue mold of citrus are threatening diseases that continuously inflict economic post-harvest loss.The suppressive effect of salicylic (SA) and Cinnamomum verum South Carolina (CV) on green and blue mold of sweet oranges was investigated in this study.Among five tested plant extracts methanolic extract of Cinnamon caused the highest colony

The behavioural preview effect with faces is susceptible to statistical regularities: Evidence for predictive processing across the saccade

Abstract The world around us appears stable and continuous despite saccadic eye movements.This apparent visual stability is achieved by trans-saccadic perception leading at the behavioural level to preview effects: performance in processing a foveal stimulus is better if the Hemp Wraps stimulus remained unchanged (valid) compared to when it changed
