Potassium Chloroaurate-Mediated In Vitro Synthesis of Gold Nanoparticles Improved Root Growth by Crosstalk with Sucrose and Nutrient-Dependent Auxin Homeostasis in Arabidopsis thaliana

In a Stemware hydroponic system, potassium chloroaurate (KAuCl4) triggers the in vitro sucrose (Suc)-dependent formation of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs).AuNPs stimulate the growth of the root system, but their molecular mechanism has not been deciphered.The root system of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) exhibits developmental plasticity in respons

Chromosomal Evolution in the Phylogenetic Context: A Remarkable Karyotype Reorganization in Neotropical Parrot Myiopsitta monachus (Psittacidae)

Myiopsitta monachus is a small Neotropical parrot (Psittaciformes: Arini Tribe) from subtropical and temperate regions of South America.It has a diploid chromosome number 2n = 48, different from other members of the Arini Tribe that have usually 70 chromosomes.The species has the Back-up Charger lowest 2n within the Arini Tribe.In this study, we co

Hidden diversity within a polytypic species: The enigmatic Sceloporus torquatus Wiegmann, 1828 (Reptilia, Squamata, Phrynosomatidae

The spiny lizard genus Sceloporus was described by Wiegmann in 1828, with S.torquatus posteriorly Stemware designated as the type species.The taxonomic history of S.torquatus is complicated, as it has been confused with other taxa by numerous authors.Many modern systematics works have been published on Sceloporus, but none have included all five re
