Spatial patterns of unemployment in Central Europe: emerging development axes...
In this paper, we focus on mapping and analysing the spatial patterns of unemployment in four Central European countries – Austria, Czechia, Germany, and Poland, on municipal... -
Boron-deficiency-responsive microRNAs and their targets in Citrus sinensis le...
Abstract Background MicroRNAs play important roles in the adaptive responses of plants to nutrient deficiencies. Most research, however, has focused on nitrogen (N), phosphorus... -
Including non-concurrent control patients in the analysis of platform trials:...
Abstract Background Platform trials allow adding new experimental treatments to an on-going trial. This feature is attractive to practitioners due to improved efficiency.... -
Induction of PR-10 genes and metabolites in strawberry plants in response to ...
Abstract Background The soil-borne vascular pathogen Verticillium dahliae causes severe wilt symptoms in a wide range of plants including strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa). To... -
