A review of the dependence of the electron mobility on the free carrier concentration for gallium nitride and indium nitride nanowires grown using hot-wall chemical vapour deposition is presented. Gallium nitride nanowires exhibit mobilities of 100 cm2/Vs to below 1 cm2/Vs for carrier concentrations of 1019 to 1020 cm−3. Theoretical estimations and annealing experiments indicate that the nanowi...

Clonal plants are widespread throughout the plant kingdom and dominate in diverse habitats. Spatiotemporal heterogeneity of environment is pervasive at multiple scales, even at scales relevant to individual plants. Clonal integration refers to resource translocation and information communication among the ramets of clonal plants. Due to clonal integration, clonal plant species possess a series ...

UNLABELLED • PREMISE OF THE STUDY Few studies have examined how epigenetic modifications of DNA may influence individual plant phenotypes and ecological processes in wild plant populations. We investigated natural variation in global DNA cytosine methylation and its phenotypic correlates in the perennial herb Helleborus foetidus.• METHODS We focused specifically on individual differences in...
