At the Beijing summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) on September 3-4, Chinese and African leaders once again joined hands in planning and leading the new development of China-Africa cooperation.展开更多

In a broader sense, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Sierra Leone and Mall can also be considered as coastal states of the Guinea Gulf. In the 21st century, the security situation in the region has been intricate, with intertwined traditional and non-traditional security issues and the involvement of multiple external forces.展开更多

At least seven groups of phytohormones have been well characterized, including abscisic acid (ABA), auxin, brassinosteroid (BR), cytokinin (CK), ethylene, gibberellin (GA), and jasmonate (JA). Hormone research in the past dec- ades has focused on elucidating signal transduction pathways from hormone perception to response and such effort has been well paid off by recent discoveries of almost all recep- tors for major classes of plant hormones.展开更多
