Analysis of the impact of the absence of RAD51 strand exchange activity in Arabidopsis meiosis. by Gunjita Singh, Olivier Da Ines, Maria Eugenia Gallego, Charles I White

“…Although the presence of RAD51 protein provides essential support for the action of DMC1, our results show no significant effect of the absence of RAD51 strand-exchange activity on meiotic crossing-over rates or patterns in different chromosomal regions or across the whole genome of Arabidopsis, strongly supporting the argument that DMC1 catalyses repair of all meiotic DNA breaks, not only non-sister cross-overs.…”

Spatiotemporal dynamics and key climatic influences on vegetation resilience in opencast coal mine dumps after restoration by Hui Wang, Chengye Zhang, Yaxin Ding, Feiyue Li, Wanxi Liu, Yan Ma, Yingjie Guo, Bikram Banerjee, Jun Li

“…Results reveal that: (1) After restoration, vegetation resilience at each dump experienced three phases: initial enhancement, decline, and renewed enhancement. (2) Vegetation resilience improved significantly compared to the initial fragile ecosystem, with over 88 % of the area showing improvement, especially at Taipingdi, where the enhancement rate reached 99.85 %. (3) The influence of key climatic drivers remained consistent within each dump across all phases, particularly in the first and third phases. …”
