Wild rice harbors more root endophytic fungi than cultivated rice in the F1 offspring after crossbreeding
(2021)Background: Rice, which serves as a staple food for more than half of the world’s population, is grown worldwide. The hybridization of wild and cultivated rice has enabled the incorporation of resistance to varying ... -
Low nitrogen availability inhibits the phosphorus starvation response in maize (Zea mays ssp. mays L.)
(2021)Background: Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are macronutrients essential for crop growth and productivity. In cultivated fields, N and P levels are rarely sufficient, contributing to the gap between realized and potential ... -
Altered patterns of fractional amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation and regional homogeneity in abstinent methamphetamine-dependent users
(2021)Methamphetamine (MA) could induce functional and structural brain alterations in dependent subjects. However, few studies have investigated resting-state activity in methamphetamine-dependent subjects (MADs). We aimed to ... -
A Blind Test of the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis
(2016)The Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis (YDIH) states that North America was devastated by some sort of extraterrestrial event ~12,800 calendar years before present. Two fundamental questions persist in the debate over the ... -
Topographic Thresholds and Soil Preservation along the Southern High Plains Eastern Escarpment, Northwest Texas, USA
(2020)The eastern escarpment of the Southern High Plains (USA) is today a semi-arid erosional landscape delineated by canyon breaks and topographic relief. A series of buried soils were identified, described, and sampled at 19 ... -
Late Quaternary Stratigraphy and Geochronology of the Spring Creek Drainage along the Southern High Plains Eastern Escarpment, Northwest Texas
(2021)The eastern escarpment breaks of the Southern High Plains of Texas are both a geomorphic and ecotonal transition zone from the high plains surface to the Rolling Plains below. The geoarchaeological record on the Southern ... -
Aerial Photogrammetry in the American West: Documenting the Construction of Cattle Water Tanks by Texas Cowboys
(2021)Aerial photogrammetry is increasingly being used to discover, document, and interpret the cultural heritage of landscapes. Information on the constructed cultural heritage left behind by the first cattle ranchers in the ... -
Bioinspired and biomimetic membranes for water purification and chemical separation: A review
(2021)Bioinspired and biomimetic membranes that contain biological transport channels or attain their structural designs from biological systems have been through a remarkable development over the last two decades. They take ... -
Seed-to-seed early-season cold resiliency in sorghum
(2021)Early planted sorghum usually experiences cooler day/night temperatures, which may result in delayed growth, floral initiation, and infertile pollen, limiting productivity in high altitudes and temperate regions. Genetic ... -
Genetic variation among 481 diverse soybean accessions, inferred from genomic re-sequencing
(2021)We report characteristics of soybean genetic diversity and structure from the resequencing of 481 diverse soybean accessions, comprising 52 wild (Glycine soja) selections and 429 cultivated (Glycine max) varieties (landraces ... -
Mechanical zonation of rock properties and the development of fluid migration pathways: implications for enhanced geothermal systems in sedimentary-hosted geothermal reservoirs
(2021)Oil and gas operations in sedimentary basins have revealed the occurrence of significant temperature anomalies at depth, raising the possibility of major geothermal resource potential in the sedimentary sequences. The ... -
Students’ implicit epistemologies when working at the intersection of engineering and the arts

Supercritical carbon dioxide decellularization of plant material to generate 3D biocompatible scaffolds
(2021)The use of plant-based biomaterials for tissue engineering has recently generated interest as plant decellularization produces biocompatible scaffolds which can be repopulated with human cells. The predominant approach for ... -
Direct Dynamics Simulations of the Thermal Fragmentation of a Protonated Peptide Containing Arginine
(2020)Arginine has significant effects on fragmentation patterns of the protonated peptide due to its high basicity guanidine tail. In this article, thermal dissociation of the singly protonated glycine-arginine dipeptide (GR-H+) ... -
Size-Controlled Capacity and Isocapacity Concentration in Freundlich Adsorption
(2020)The Freundlich isotherm is a classic model widely used to analyze the equilibrium of solution-phase adsorption. Further analysis of the adsorption mechanism has, however, been hindered by the empirical nature of the ... -
De novo transcriptome analysis of white teak (Gmelina arborea Roxb) wood reveals critical genes involved in xylem development and secondary metabolism
(2021)Background: Gmelina arborea Roxb is a fast-growing tree species of commercial importance for tropical countries due to multiple industrial uses of its wood. Wood is primarily composed of thick secondary cell walls of ... -
Biochemical and structural characterization of analogs of MRE11 breast cancer-associated mutant F237C
