Biomolecular motors have inspired the design and construction of artificial nanoscale motors and machines based on nucleic acids, small molecules, and inorganic nanostructures. However, the high degree of sophistication and efficiency of biomolecular motors, as well as their specific biological function, derives from the complexity afforded by protein building blocks. Here, we discuss a novel b...

Genus Salsola, a genus of annual semi-dwarf to dwarf shrubs and woody tree species, is widely distributed across the arid and semi-arid areas of the world. Several features like high fodder value, abundant seed production, tolerance to extreme climatic conditions like high temperature and prolonged drought conditions contributed significantly towards its success as a potential forage species in...

The importance of addressing problems within the housing sector for the future development of the country has become increasingly recognized by policy makers within the Russian Federation. The President of the Russian Federation, during a speech to the State Duma in December 2003, stressed the importance of tackling the challenges within the housing sector as part of the Government’s overall st...

objective: salt stress is a world-wide problem and soil salinity is common in arid and semi-arid regions. this study was undertaken to investigate salt tolerance in salsola orientalis in laboratory and natural conditions and recognize the mechanisms that allow it to tolerate these conditions. methods: this study had two parts of greenhouse and natural habitats. the treatment solutions for salin...
