Using near-infrared spectroscopy to predict nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations of herbarium specimens under different storage conditions

Abstract Background Herbaria are becoming increasingly important as archives of biodiversity, and play a central role in taxonomic and biogeographic studies.There is also an ongoing interest in functional traits and the way they mediate interactions between a plant species and its environment.Herbarium specimens allow tracking trait values over tim

Correlation of Antagonistic Regulation of leuO transcription with the cellular levels of BglJ-RcsB and LeuO in Escherichia coli

LeuO is a conserved and pleiotropic transcription regulator, antagonist of the nucleoid-associated silencer protein H-NS, and important for pathogenicity and multidrug resistance in Enterobacteriaceae.Regulation of transcription of the leuO gene is complex.It is silenced by H-NS and its paralogue StpA, and it is autoregulated.In addition, in Escher
