ajb: A Pathfinder

This is a computer-generated pathfinder created against the Distant Reader study called ajb.

Each Distant Reader study carrel is composed of many individual items. Each item is bibliographically described with author, title, date, summary, and keyword values. Below is a list of the items' most signficant keywords as well as lists of the items themselves. Purpusing the content of this pathfinder provides the student, researcher, or scholar with one way to get their heads around the scope of the carrel. The keywords include:

Lis; Plant; Soil; Growth; Soybean; Resistance; Plants; Control; Root; Weight; Protein; Fruit; Use; Water; Tifi; Gene; Activity; Olive; Sequence; Disease; Traits; Females; Exposure; Spotting; Cells; Markers; Hassan; Leaves; Medium; Rice; Male; Qatar; Limonii; Cover; Marginalis; Indica; Lesions

Depending on how this pathfinder was created, many of the bibliographic sections will include elaborations on the meaning(s) of the given keywords. These elaborations were generated by feeding the items' summaries to a large langauge model and asking the model to address the question, "What is X?", where "X" is the keyword. The result will be a few sentences of elaboration. Be forewarned. The elaborations are often plausible, but they should not be take as truth. Instead, they should be taken as points for consideration.

However, forest soils may be a significant source of CO2 as a result of global warming, which lead to a mineralization of organic matter higher than the net primary production of vegetation (Liski, 1999, Bernoux et al., 2005).

• Comparative Study of the Effects of Salinity on Plant Growth, Nodulation, and Legheamoglobin Content in Kabuli and Desi Cultivars of Cicer arietinum (L.) by Mudgal, Varsha; Madaan, Nidhi; Mudgal, Anurag; Singh, Alka; Kumar, P. (2017) - The failure of nodule formation at high salinity might be at- tributed to shrinkage of root hairs; consequently the reduction in plant growth under conditions of high salinity could only be partly accounted by the reduction or failure in nodulation (Tu, 1981; Mudgal et al., 2009).

• Review of the Rpt3 Genes Encoding Part of the 26S Proteasome Associated with Loci Underlying Disease Resistance in Soybean by Malik, Shivani; Bhaumik, Sukesh; Lightfoot, David A. (2017) - Proteomic studies have shown that among the proteins in- creased in SCN resistant Rhg1 near isogenic lines (NILs) was a proteasomal component (Afzal et al., 2009; Figure 1). Previous work (Afzal et al., 2009) and mapping of both the 20S and 19S components to SCN QTL indicates that a part of its role is SCN resistance is through its proteolytic activity.

• Genetic Mapping of QTL Associated with Seed Macronutrients Accumulation in ‘MD 96-5722’ by ‘Spencer’ Recombinant Inbred Lines of Soybean by Bellaloui, Nacer; Khandaker, Laila; Akond, Masum; Kantartzi, Stella K.; Meksem, Khalid; Mengistu, Alemu; Lightfoot, David A; Kassem, My Abdelmajid (2017) - However, information on ge- netic mapping for macronutrients accumulation in seeds is scares (Zhang et al., 2009), and what is available deals with other species such as seed P QTL in Andean bean (Cichy et al., 2009); K QTL related to K efficiency in wheat (Kong et al., 2013); nutri- ents QTL in Arabidopsis (Chardon et al., 2014); QTL associated with P in seed in mungbean (Sompong et al., 2012); QTL relat- ed to P in seed in common bean (Blair et al., 2009); QTL in seed minerals in Brassica napus) (Ding et al., 2010) mostly deals with macronutrients and their status in soybean leaves, shoot, or roots, but not in seeds. K and Mg QTL were clustered together on LG A1 (Chr 5) with a peak position of 9.50 cM and LOD support interval of 8.50-9.50 cM. Similar observation was noticed for P, K, Mg, C, N, and S, where the QTL were clustered on LG J (Chr 16) with peak position of 11 cM for K, P, and S, and 10 Introduction Macronutrients such as N, C, S, P, K, Mg, and Ca are essential for plant growth, development, and production, and their defi- ciency in soil leads to yield loss, disease infection, and poor seed quality.

• Investigation of Bunch Cut at Different Times After Pollination and Flower Position in the Spikelet in Date Palm 'Sukkary' Variety by ElJiati, Abdelazize (2022) - In an attempt to increase date fruit size, most date farmers are used to applying hand thinning starting from the “haba- book’’ stage, when date fruit size reaches at least a chickpea grain, so that they can catch fruits between their fingers. Whatever method of thinning used in the crops they studied, many authors agreed on the fact that the time of thin- ning had a great influence on fruit size, and that early thinning generated good cell division and, therefore, larger fruit size (Gof- fine et al., 1995; Sutton et al., 2020; Szot, 2010).

• Coiling During Male-Male Combat in Snakes: Differences Between Vipers and Other Groups, and Between Constrictors and Non-Constrictors by Lock, Ishmel J.; Zalewski, Kaitlyn E.; Senter, Philip J. (2023) - Male Snakes Mating Combat in Briones Regional Park, CA. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_xoA3KEtjQ (ac- cessed 25 February 2021) If this difference is due to a tendency among vipers to use fewer loops during MMC, and not just an artifact of having been photographed at moments when fewer loops were used than is usual for vipers, then coiling may be a com- ponent of MMC that is of lesser importance in Viperidae than in other snake clades.

• Month of Seeding Effect on Low-Input Establishment of Cool- and Warm-Season Turfgrasses in Continental Transition Zone by Diesburg, Kenneth Lynn; Krausz, Ronald F. (2017) - Even so, seed germination and seedling es- tablishment in winter dormant seedings appears to have been unaffected between the two locations. Dudeck and Peacock (1982) found in Florida that winter dormant seeding of bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum Flugge) produced greater than A tla s Jo ur na l o f Bi ol og y - IS SN 2 15 8- 91 51 .

• A Rapid Method for Cannabis Species Determination by DNA Sequencing by Lightfoot, David A.; Throgmorton, Winston C.; Johnson, Colton (2017) - Using sequences at GenBank as a reference eighteen plant samples were sequenced and shown to be identical to C. indica sequence and different from C. sativa and C. ruderalis at 4 positions within the 25S rRNA gene. A complex rearrangement in the 25S rRNA gene distinguishes C. indica from C. sativa. Keywords: indica; sativa; tla
