DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATION OF SNP-KASP MARKERS BASED ON GENES RELATED TO NITROGEN UPTAKE, ASSIMILATION AND ALLOCATION IN TEA PLANT (CAMELLIA SINENSIS L.)

Nitrogen is essential for the growth and quality formation of tea Psoriasis plants.Excessive and inefficient use of nitrogen fertilizer leads to cost increases and ecosystem pollution.It is important to improve the nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) for tea plantation.Breeding high-NUE varieties by marker-assisted selection using NUE-associated genes is

During the xanthophyll cycle, which occurs upon illumination in thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts, violaxanthin is transformed via antheraxanthin into zeaxanthin.Not all of the violaxanthin, which seems to be present in a loosely and a more tightly bound form in pigment-protein complexes, participates in the cycle.Here Chair we study the xanthoph

Abstract Biting to obtain attached benthic prey characterizes a large number of fish species on coral reefs, and is a feeding mode Vitamin D that contributes to important ecosystem functions.We use high-speed video to reveal the mechanisms used by a surgeonfish, Acanthurus leucosternon, to detach algae.After gripping algae in its jaws, the species
