Temperate Forest Floors: Ecosystem Hubs in Transition?NARA Subscribed
The forest floor (FF) plays a key role in carbon, nutrient, and water cycling. It is the biologically most active compartment of forest soils, highly responsive to environmental conditions. Yet, its response to current changes in environmental conditions and forest management is understudied. Temperate forests are among the best studied ecosystems globally, providing the necessary ecological and biogeochemical background infor...
Revisiting the root economics space—its applications, extensions and nuances advance our understanding of fine-root functioningNARA Subscribed
Background and aims Fine roots and their traits determine resource uptake from the soil, thus being fundamental for plant and ecosystem functioning. It has been five years since the concept of the root economics space (RES) has been developed to describe multidimensional fine-root trait coordination. The RES proposed a novel fungal collaboration gradient in addition to the established fast-slow gradient of resource conservatio...
In this issue, we established rapid, cost‐effective, and simple detection methods including recombines polymerase amplification with lateral flow dipstick (RPA‐LFD) and real‐time RPA for cyprinid herpesvirus 3(CyHV‐3), and evaluated their sensitivity, specificity, and applicability, the real‐time RPA method could achieve sensitive diagnosis of CyHV‐3 within 1.3 copies per reaction, respectively. The real‐time RPA method is 10‐...
Purpose The incidence of small intestinal cancer (SIC) is increasing, however, its aetiology remains unclear due to a lack of data from large-scale prospective cohorts. We examined modifiable risk factors in relation to SIC overall and by histological subtype. Methods We analysed 450,107 participants enrolled in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition cohort. Cox proportional hazards models were used t...
Purification and concentration of infectious koi herpesvirus using steric exclusion chromatographyNARA Subscribed
Koi herpesvirus (KHV) is the causative agent of a koi herpesvirus disease (KHVD) inducing high mortality rates in common carp and koi ( Cyprinus carpio ). No widespread effective vaccination strategy has been implemented yet, which is partly due to side effects of the immunized fish. In this study, we present an evaluation of the purification of infectious KHV from host cell protein and DNA, using the steric exclusion chromato...
Developments in the classification and nomenclature of arthropod-infecting large DNA viruses that contain pif genesNARA Subscribed
Viruses of four families of arthropod-specific, large dsDNA viruses (the nuclear arthropod large DNA viruses, or NALDVs) possess homologs of genes encoding conserved components involved in the baculovirus primary infection mechanism. The presence of such homologs encoding per os infectivity factors ( pif genes), along with their absence from other viruses and the occurrence of other shared characteristics, suggests a common or...
