Insights into Transcriptomes of Big and Low Sagebrush

“…wyomingensis , which has little or no fluorescence. In addition, coumarin content can also predict the palatability of sagebrush; regardless of species, sage-grouse are proposed to select species of sagebrush with greater fluorescence [ 6 ]. These transcriptomes provide a genetic basis for this important chemical pathway.…”

“…arbuscula occupies about 28 million ha of the United States with four described subspecies, including diploid, tetraploid and occasionally hexaploid cytotypes [ 2 ], [ 3 ]. Low sagebrush typically occupies ridgelines and uplands with shallow soils, whereas big sagebrush occupies deeper soils [ 4 ], [ 5 ], [ 6 ]. The two species can have parapatric occurrences, especially between A .…”

“…nova and then A . wyomingensis compared to other species of sagebrush, a preference that is proposed to be correlated with decreasing leaf terpene concentration [ 6 ], [ 12 ]. This discrimination appears to be deeper than selecting solely between species.…”

Comportement de radionucléides (Cs, I, Sr, Se, Tc) dans le sol : proposition de valeurs de Kd par défaut

“…Une autre étude (Yasuda et al, 1995) sur 36 sols montre que le Kd du strontium est étroitement corrélé avec la CEC du sol avec une moyenne (géométrique) de 500 L kg -1 . Sur une vingtaine de sédiments du sous-sol, Rosentreter et al (1999) déduisent une corrélation entre le Kd du strontium et certains paramètres du solide et de la solution : surface spécifique du solide, teneur en oxyde de manganèse, conductivité et pH de la solution à l'équilibre. Dans cette étude, la texture n'est quasiment pas significative sur la variation du Kd.…”
