Extended period of polar cap auroral display: auroral dynamics and relation to the IMF and the ionospheric convection

An unusually extended period (5 h) of polar cap auroral display on 3 August 1986 is examined.Auroras have been investigated using ground-based data as well as measurements from the IMP-8 spacecraft in interplanetary space and simultaneous observations Garbage Bags from the polar-orbiting satellites Viking and DE-1 in the northern and southern hemis

Rice Brittle Culm19 Encoding Cellulose Synthase Subunit CESA4 Causes Dominant Brittle Phenotype But has No Distinct Influence on Growth and Grain Yield

Abstract Background Mechanical strength is a crucial agronomic trait in rice (Oryza sativa), and brittle mutants are thought suitable materials to investigate the mechanism of cell wall formation.So far, almost all brittle mutants are recessive, and most of them are defected in multiple morphologies and/or grain yield, limiting their application in
