The use of plant endophytes to release salt stress is cheap and quick. In this respect, we have isolated an endophytic fungus (Trichoderma reesei) from Solanum surattense that promoted the wheat growth under stress. results showed fungal inoculated plants had higher chlorophyll a b, carotenoids, reduced glutathione (GSH), ascorbate, peroxidase, catalase, weight plant, flavonoids, total soluble protein, stomatal conductance, transpiration rate, relative water contents. Also, T. reesei treated...

A three-component plasma composed of nonthermal Kappa-distributed electrons, mobile ions, stationary and dust-fluctuating (spherical) dust particles is considered. By employing reductive perturbation method in a weakly nonlinear limit, the Burger's equation has been derived basic properties ion acoustic shock waves are analyzed. It observed that for increasing ion–electron temperature ratio, shock's amplitude decreases, vice versa. Moreover, steepens electron–ion equilibrium density ratio....

The space-time correlation function has been obtained in strongly coupled dusty plasmas (SCDPs) using equilibrium molecular dynamics (EMD) simulations. simulated results for three-dimensional (3D) SCDPs with suitable normalization are computed over a wide domain of plasma parameters (Γ, κ) microcanonical ensemble. EMD simulations indicate that different modes propagated wave analyzed four values number (k). New investigations normalized longitudinal current CL(k, t) show the amplitude...

Abstract Yellow pitaya ( Selenicereus megalanthus , 2n=4x=44) breeding remains severely hindered due to lacking a reference genome. Here we report yellow pitaya’s high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly and link the phenotypic trait with genomic data, based on Hi-C, ATAC, RNA-seq data of specific tissues. We declared as an autotetraploid 7.16 Gb size (harboring 27,246 high confidence genes) majorly evolved from diploid ancestors, which unknown. Beyond generating assembly, explored 3D...

Electro-magnetostatic traps have been used for decades to provide long-term storage of charged particle samples or non-neutral plasmas. The dynamics and equilibrium states these ideally simple systems can be strongly diverted from the usual working conditions (i.e. single-species, quiescent samples) in presence oppositely particles external electric field perturbations. Both occur when plasma is generated by means a radio-frequency (RF) excitation continuously applied on trap electrode....
