Correlator product states (CPS) are a powerful and very broad class of states for quantum lattice systems whose (unnormalised) amplitudes in a fixed basis can be sampled exactly and efficiently. They work by gluing together states of overlapping clusters of sites on the lattice, called correlators. Recently Carleo and Troyer (2017 Science 355 602) introduced a new type sampleable ansatz called ...

Recent years have seen progress in isolation and expansion of mesenchymal cells (MSCs) from human umbilical cord tissue, namely the Wharton’s jelly. Situated between the subamnion and the perivascular zone that surrounds the blood vessels (Troyer & Weiss, 2008), Wharton’s jelly is a matrix of mucous connective tissue, composed of fibroblast-like stromal cells, collagen fibers and proteoglycans,...

An increasing number of intensive, dense, and sustainable citrus plantations have fostered a growing interest in addressing the future challenges crops: increase world’s population, climate change, globalization. Nutrient efficiency absence vigorous rootstocks are required for success these plantation systems. The agronomic performances ‘Lane Late’ orange cultivar on three substandard or semi-d...

Abstract Environmental changes derived from global warming and human activities increase the intensity frequency of stressful conditions for plants. Multiple abiotic factors acting simultaneously enhance stress pressure drastically reduce plant growth, yield, survival. Stress combination causes a specific situation that induces particular response different to sum responses individual stresses....

Salinity is one of the most destructive environmental challenges for citriculture worldwide, and all climate change scenarios are predicting an increased impact salinity on citrus orchards. Citrus cultivars grown as grafts various rootstocks to provide specific adaptation abiotic stress tolerance major diseases such tristeza virus. To understand rootstock–scion interactions with regard salinity...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Since salinity and drought stress can occur together, an assessment was made of their interacting effects on leaf water relations, osmotic adjustment and net gas exchange in seedlings of the relatively chloride-sensitive Carrizo citrange, Citrus sinensis x Poncirus trifoliata. METHODS Plants were fertilized with nutrient solution with or without additional 100 mm NaCl (sal...

Two-year-old 'Ambersweet' ( Citrus reticulata Blanco X [ C poroc/f'siMacf. X C. reticulata]) X midseason orange, C. s/nensfs(L.) Osb. trees on three rootstocks, sour orange (C. aurantium L), Cleopatra mandarin (C. reticulate), and Carrizo citrange (C. sinensisX Poncirus trifoliate* (L) Raf.) grow ing in 15-liter pots were exposed to cold-hardening regimes in controlled-temperature rooms and fre...

There are conflicting data on the timescale for the representation of adult zebra finch song. Acoustic structure and perturbation studies suggest that song is divided into discrete vocal elements, or syllables, lasting 50-200 ms. However, recordings in premotor telencephalic nucleus HVC (used as proper name) and RA (robust nucleus of arcopallium) suggest that song is represented by sparse, fine...

Mediterranean basin and other citrus-growing areas, such as Florida or California, are among the most vulnerable regions to impacts of global warming. Therefore, citrus will be likely subjected increasing periods water scarcity combined with high temperatures that impair plant growth, development yield. In industry, grafting is used improve varietal characteristics, abiotic stress tolerance. Pr...

Abstract New approaches for developing disease-resistant genetically modified organisms have included specific targets gene expression to enhance the chances pathogen control. Gene driven by phloem-derived Citrus sinensis promoters could be evaluated and compared with induced a strong constitutive promoter in same tissue, leading production of transgenic sweet oranges potentially more resistant...
