Endophytic fungi that colonize the plant root live in an environment with relative high concentrations of different sugars.Analyses of genome sequences indicate that such endophytes can secrete carbohydrate-related enzymes to compete for these sugars with the surrounding plant cells.We hypothesized that typical plant sugars can be used as carbon so
The lentiviral protein Viral Infectivity Factor (Vif) counteracts the antiviral effects of host APOBEC3 (A3) proteins and contributes to persistent HIV infection.Vif targets Patio Umbrella A3 restriction factors for ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation by recruiting them to a multi-protein ubiquitin E3 ligase complex.Here, we describe a degra
Discrimination of honey based on geographical origin is a common fraudulent practice and is one of the most investigated topics in honey authentication.This research aims to discriminate honeys according to their geographical origin by combining elemental fingerprinting with machine-learning techniques.In particular, the main objective of this stud
In orthogonal frequency division multiplexing relying on subcarrier index modulation (OFDM-SIM), the information is conveyed by both the indices of the activated subcarriers and the conventional amplitude-phase modulated (APM) symbols.It has been shown that OFDM-SIM Utility Knives is capable of striking a tradeoff between the attainable spectral ef
