Upon fertilization, after the fusion of two pronuclei, the newly formed zygotic genome is transcriptionally inactive. Hence, early animal development is driven by maternal RNAs and proteins. The zygotic genome becomes ...
Impact of light intensities and low temperature on the composition and diurnal use of transient carbon stores in barley (Hordeum vulgare)
(NUI Galway, 2019-10-18)
The carbon partitioning and accumulation are critical for biomass formation in
plants and can be affected by environmental changes and regulated by circadian clock.
Thus, in this study, barley was grown under three light ...
