Stability of 'Thornless Evergreen' Blackberry in Vitro and Ex Vitro (Tissue Culture, Chimera, Variability, Somaclonal Variation, Rubus)
… Willd. (2n = 4x = 28), is a periclinal chimeral blackberry in which a mutated thornless epidermis surrounds a core of cells with a thorny genotype. Adventitious shoots from roots are always thorny, and gametes carry the thorny gene. Via micropropagation, pure thornless plants were …

Space-time correlations of intermediate mass fragments emitted in Heavy ion reactions at Fermi energy by intensity interferometry studied with CHIMERA and perspectives
In collisioni tra ioni pesanti alle energie di Fermi (E/A compresa tra 10 MeV/nucleone e 100 MeV/nucleone) sono prodotti sistemi nucleari molto eccitati lontani dalla stabilità che possono decadere in una grande varietà di meccanismi sia dinamici che statistici con scale temporali molto diverse …

Characterization of a recombinant chimeric yellow fever 17D vaccine - dengue-4 virus
… P75-215, hereafter termed YFV 17D/DENV-4 prME chimera. Viral RNA of 17D vaccine, wild-type DENV-4, and YFV 17D/DENV-4 prME chimera were compared by Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), which indicated that the YFV-17D/DENV-4 prME chimera has a similar genetic diversity profile to YFV-17D, …

Complex regimes of synchronization
… As a subject of our investigation we consider chimera state, where due to spontaneous symmetry-breaking of an initially homogeneous oscillators lattice split the system into two parts with different dynamics. Chimera state as a new synchronization phenomenon was first found in non-locally …
