Changes in the stability of specific mRNA species in response to growth stage in Bacillus subtilis.

abstract：:A fundamental aspect of climate change is the potential shifts in flowering phenology and pollen initiation associated with milder winters and warmer seasonal air temperature. Earlier floral anthesis has been suggested, in turn, to have a role in human disease by increasing time of exposure to pollen that causes aller...
