Erratum: Corrigendum: Effects of Nitrogen and Shading on Root Morphologies, Nutrient Accumulation, and Photosynthetic Parameters in Different Rice Genotypes
Scientific Reports, 7(1).
TL;DR:
Correlation analysis revealed that total nitrogen accumulation and potassium accumulation were significantly positively correlated with total root length, root superficial area, and root volume, which could alleviate the detrimental effects of shading on total nutrient accumulation and grain yield in rice.

Development and use of a piggyBac -based jumpstarter system in Drosophila suzukii
Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, 97(3), e21439.
author keywords: germline transformation; Minos; mutagenesis; piggyBac; transgenesis
MeSH headings : Animals; Animals, Genetically Modified; DNA Transposable Elements; Drosophila / genetics; Genetic Engineering / methods; Mutagenesis; Transposases
