Objective To establish the presence of inflammation in and cytokine production by synovial
membranes from patients with various stages of early osteoarthritis (OA), with knee pain …

Plant disease resistance genes operate at the earliest steps of pathogen perception. The
Arabidopsis RPP5 gene specifying resistance to the downy mildew pathogen Peronospora …

Context As the role of robot-assisted surgery continues to expand, development of
standardised and validated training programmes is becoming increasingly important …

Plant disease resistance (R) genes control the recognition of specific pathogens and
activate subsequent defense responses. We show that the Arabidopsis thaliana locus …

Summary Jasmonates (JAs) regulate Arabidopsis thaliana wound and defence responses,
pollen development, and stress‐related growth inhibition. Significantly, each of these …

Homologues of the yeast ubiquitin ligase-associated protein SGT1 are required for disease
resistance in plants mediated by nucleotide-binding site/leucine-rich repeat (NBS-LRR) …

Poplar (Populus spp.) is widely planted around the world and has been closely linked to
human beings since ancient times due to its multiple beneficial utilizations both for the …

Carbon allocation to roots is of widespread and increasing interest due to a growing
appreciation of the importance of root processes to whole-plant physiology and plant …

Poplars are some of the fastest growing trees in North America and foresters have sought to
capitalize on this potential since the 1940s. Interest in growing poplars has fluctuated, and …

Production increases in intensively managed forests have been obtained by improving
resource availability through water and nutrient amendments. Increased stem production …
