Sulfur partitioning between aqueous fluids and felsic melts at high pressures: Implications for sulfur migration in subduction zones by Lanqin Li, Xingcheng Liu, Ting Xu, Xiaolin Xiong, Jintuan Wang, Li Li

“…Despite its importance, the partitioning of S between aqueous fluids and silicate melts under the conditions of subduction zone, critical for magma generation and evolution, remains poorly understood. To address this knowledge gap, we performed piston-cylinder experiments at a temperature of 950 ℃ and pressures of 1 and 2 GPa, investigating the effects of various parameters including oxygen fugacity, melt composition, fluid composition (salinity) and pressure on S partitioning between aqueous fluid and silicate melt (DS fluid/melt). …”

Pan-genome analysis and expression verification of the maize ARF gene family by Quan-cai Man, Yan-qun Wang, Shun-juan Gao, Zhi-chang Gao, Zheng-ping Peng, Jiang-hui Cui

“…The construction of a phylogenetic tree using Arabidopsis thaliana revealed that the G3 subfamily comprises the highest number of core genes, with a total of 10, and exhibits relative stability throughout the evolution of maize. The calculation of the Ka/Ks ratios for ARF family members across 26 genomes indicated that, aside from ARF8 and ARF11, which were subjected to positive selection, the remaining genes underwent purifying selection. …”
