ECOPHYSIOLOGICAL CONSEQUENCES OF VARIABILITY IN DIAPAUSE INTENSITY

Ecophysiological consequences of variability in diapause intensity

Diapause intensity (DI) is a physiological trait represented by the duration of diapause under given conditions of environment.In many species, it is highly variable, probably being controlled by multiple genes and tends to form a cline in response to the latitudinal gradient of selection pressure.DI clines could be established artificially by cros

Spin Qubits Confined to a Silicon Nano-Ridge

Electrostatically-defined quantum dots (QDs) in silicon are an attractive platform for quantum computation.Localized single electron spins define qubits and provide excellent manipulation and read-out fidelities.We propose a scalable silicon-based qubit device that can be fabricated by industry-compatible processes.The device consists of a dense ar

Plant traits and environment: floating leaf blade production and turnover of Nymphoides peltata (S.G. Gmel.) O. Kuntze (Menyanthaceae)

Background Nymphaeid macrophytes, rooting in the sediment of water bodies and characterized by floating leaves, play an important role in wetland ecosystems.The present research deals with the effects of limited space, limited nutrient availability, water temperature and an unexpected inundation on the production, turnover and plasticity of floatin
