A Comparison of the Accumulation and Partitioning of Nitrogen in Plants between Two Rice Cultivars, Akenohoshi and Nipponbare, at the Ripening Stage

To clarify the factors responsible for the maintenance of a high rate of photosynthesis at the ripening stage in the high-yield rice cultivar Akenohoshi, as compared with that in a Japanese standard cultivar, Nipponbare, we investigated the nitrogen content of leaves, focusing on the accumulation and the partitioning of nitrogen in rice plants.The

Benefits of extra begging fail to compensate for immunological costs in southern shrike (Lanius meridionalis) nestlings.

Theoretical models aimed at explaining the evolution of honest, informative begging signals employed by nestling birds to solicit food from their parents, require that dishonest signalers incur a net viability cost in order to prevent runaway escalation of signal intensity over evolutionary time.Previous attempts to determine such a cost empiricall
