New Finds Shedding Light on the Archaic Period of Sipylos Magnesia by Umut Murat Doğan

“…Some of the artifacts were found as surface material within the main settlement area, while others are reminiscent of a context indicating a possible necropolis or a single grave structure in the immediate vicinity. Nevertheless, all these data are extremely important in terms of showing that the city of Sipylos Magnesia has a cultural potential dating back to the first half of the 1st millennium BC…”

Transcriptomic analysis of the lighting inhibition on growth of Villosiclava virens mycelia by GUO Yuyan, ZHANG Lu, ZHAO Xinyu, HU Dongwei, LIANG Wusheng

“…During gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis, 491 of the 695 DEGs were enriched to the terms of biological process, cellular component and molecular function, indicating that complex mechanisms may be involved in the inhibitory effect of lighting on mycelial growth. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis results of the 695 DEGs indicated that influences on the structure and functions of ribosome, and amino acid metabolism were quite probably involved in the inhibitory effect of lighting on mycelial growth. …”
