Transcriptional Reprogramming of Arabidopsis thaliana Defence Pathways by the Entomopathogen Beauveria bassiana Correlates With Resistance Against a Fungal Pathogen but Not Against Insects

The entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana can adopt an endophytic lifestyle by colonising a wide array of plant species.Beauveria-colonised plants can show enhanced FLW resistance against insects and plant pathogens alike.However, little is known about the molecular and physiological mechanisms that govern such interactions.Here, we assessed t

Dynamics of Gear Shifting Processes of Dual-Clutch Automatic Transmissions in Integrated Powertrains of Battery Electric Vehicles

In connection with the beginning transition of mass-produced battery electric vehicle (BEV) powertrains from single-gear gearboxes to specially configured automatic transmissions (AT), the number of publications devoted to justification and research of their architecture, as well as optimization of applied design solutions, is rapidly increasing.A

Testing the passive sampling hypothesis: The role of dispersal in shaping microbial species-area relationship

Dispersal is one of the key processes determining biodiversity.The passive sampling hypothesis, which emphasizes dispersal processes, suggests that larger habitats receive more species from the species pool as the main mechanism leading to more species in larger habitats than in smaller habitats (i.e., species-area relationships).However, the speci
