This paper presents the study results of the basic physical and strength FM properties of Hungarian oak (Quercus conferta Kit.) wood from the Kakovo Monastery forests of Hilandar Monastery in Greece.Wood properties were analyzed in detail, as an indispensable proof of wood quality and its use for joinery, interiors and wooden floors.The basic physi
Identification of Viruses Infecting Oats in Korea by Metatranscriptomics
Controlling infectious plant viruses presents a constant challenge in agriculture.As a source of valuable nutrients for human health, the cultivation of oats (Avena sativa L.) has recently been increased in Korea.To date, however, few studies have been undertaken to identify the viruses infecting oats in this country.In this study, we carried out R
The Inside and out of Folate in Strawberries and Avocados
Folate, an important B-group vitamin, is considered a critical vitamin in many countries, with folate deficiency being associated with neural tube defects in newborns.Strawberries and avocados are considered a healthy, tasty snack by many consumers, and may potentially be an important dietary source of natural folates, depending on variety and grow
Generation of mutation hotspots in ageing bacterial colonies
Abstract Puffed Snacks How do ageing bacterial colonies generate adaptive mutants? Over a period of two months, we isolated on ageing colonies outgrowing mutants able to use a new carbon source, and sequenced their genomes.This allowed us to uncover exquisite details on the molecular mechanism behind their adaptation: most mutations were located in
