This article develops a spatial prioritization model based on accurate estimates of remotely-sensed data and maps of threats potentially affecting long-term species persistence to identify priority areas for the conservation of the Endangered Greek meadow viper Vipera graeca, a cold-adapted species inhabiting mountaintops in the Pindos Mountains of Greece and Albania.

This article tests an assembly consisting of CdSe quantum dots and [Fe₃Te₂(CO)₉] as a catalytic system for proton reduction in aqueous solution.

The articles is about a study of the response of six NIR aza-BODIPY-based and structurally similar fluorophores to polarity and viscosity for incorporation inside Pluronic nanoparticles as switchable fluorescent probes (SFPs). Based on their results, all of these fluorophores were moderately to strongly sensitive to the polarity of the microenvironment. They concluded that attaching amine groups to the fluorophore is not necessary for having strong polarity sensitive probes.

Article describes the high-quality, 887-Mb genome of jojoba assembled into 26 chromosomes with 23,490 protein-coding genes.

Article presents data consistent with the positive effect that the expression of the Arabidopsis thaliana H+-PPase (AVP1) has on reduced carbon partitioning and yield increases in wheat.

Article describes study in which novel approaches to test the effects of gene-environment (GE) interactions of rare and/or common risk, and/or protective variants in sequencing association studies were developed.
