Abstract Background UDP-glucuronate decarboxylase (also named UXS) converts UDP-glucuronic acid (UDP-GlcA) navy blue lantern to UDP-xylose (UDP-Xyl) by decarboxylation of the C6-carboxylic acid of glucuronic acid.UDP-Xyl is an important sugar donor that is required for the synthesis of plant cell wall polysaccharides.Results In this study, we first
Factors impacting on the activation and approach times of helicopter emergency medical services in four Alpine countries
Abstract Background The outcome of severely injured or ill patients can be time dependent.Short activation and approach times for emergency medical service (EMS) units are widely recognized to be important quality indicators.The use of a helicopter emergency medical service shirogorov neon zero (HEMS) can significantly shorten rescue missions espec

Enhancing salinity tolerance in cucumber through Selenium biofortification and grafting
Abstract Background Salinity stress is a major limiting factor for plant growth, particularly in arid and semi-arid environments.To mitigate the detrimental effects of salinity stress on vegetable production, selenium (Se) biofortification and grafting onto tolerant rootstocks have emerged as effective and sustainable cultivation practices.This stu
