A High-Resolution, Single-Grain, <em>In Vivo</em> Pollen Hydration Bioassay for <em>Arabidopsis thaliana</em>

A high - throughput procedure for single pollen grain collection and PCR in plants ( Running title : High - throughput single pollen PCR )

High-throughput procedure for single pollen grain collection and polymerase chain reaction in plants.

Single pollen grain polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has succeeded in several species, however only limited numbers of pollen grains were involved due to difficulties in pollen isolation and lysis. This has limited its application in genetic analysis and mapping studies in plants. A high-throughput (HT) procedure for collecting and detecting genetic variation in a large number of individual poll...

A Deep Model for Super-resolution Enhancement from a Single Image

This study presents a method to reconstruct a high-resolution image using a deep convolution neural network. We propose a deep model, entitled Deep Block Super Resolution (DBSR), by fusing the output features of a deep convolutional network and a shallow convolutional network. In this way, our model benefits from high frequency and low frequency features extracted from deep and shallow networks...

Implantable Microsystems for High-Resolution Interfacing to the Brain

Insights into a hydration regulating system in Cupressus pollen grains.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Hydration, rupture and exine opening due to the sudden and large expansion of intine are typical of taxoid-type pollen grains. A hemispheric outgrowth external to the exine was observed on Cupressus and Juniperus pollen grains before the intine swelling and exine release. However, the actual existence of this permanent or temporary structure and its precise role in pollen hy...
