Complete sequencing of the mitochondrial genome of tea plant Camellia sinensis cv. ‘Baihaozao’: multichromosomal structure, phylogenetic relationships, and adaptive evolutionary an... by Zhiyin Chen, Zhiyin Chen, Zhiyin Chen, Zhiyin Chen, Zixu Wang, Zixu Wang, Zixu Wang, Zixu Wang, Wei Zhou, Wei Zhou, Wei Zhou, Wei Zhou, Sijie Liu, Sijie Liu, Sijie Liu, Sijie Liu, Yuxin Xiao, Yuxin Xiao, Yuxin Xiao, Yuxin Xiao, Yihui Gong, Yihui Gong, Yihui Gong, Yihui Gong

“…Adaptive evolutionary analysis, based on Ka/Ks ratios, was performed to investigate gene selection pressures.ResultsThe mitochondrial genome consists of 11 linear chromosomes, with a total length of 909,843 bp and a GC content of 45.62%. A total of 73 functional genes were annotated, among which 14 variable genes (e.g., ribosomal protein coding genes) retain intact functions without pseudogenization, which is rare among Theaceae plants. …”

A simple model of the rheological curve of HPAM solutions at different temperatures by Eduar Pérez, Dario Alviso, Mauricio Carmona, Eduardo Manrique, Guillermo Artana

“…The solvent viscosity and relaxation time-employed as references to define these parameters-are functions of temperature. On the master surface, while the power coefficient of Carreau-Yasuda (n) exhibits only a slight dependency on temperature, the relative viscosity depends monotonically on this variable. …”

Sensitivity Analysis of Soil Hydraulic Parameters for Improved Flow Predictions in an Atlantic Forest Watershed Using the MOHID-Land Platform by Dhiego da Silva Sales, Jader Lugon Junior, David de Andrade Costa, Renata Silva Barreto Sales, Ramiro Joaquim Neves, Antonio José da Silva Neto

“…The hydraulic soil parameters of VGM are dependent on soil type and are typically estimated from experimental data; however, they are often obtained using pedotransfer functions, which carry significant uncertainty. As a result, calibration is frequently required to account for both the natural spatial variability of soil and uncertainties estimation. …”
