A preliminary identification of Rf*-A619, a novel restorer gene for CMS-C in maize (Zea mays L.).

abstract：:The presence of fatigue has been shown to modify running biomechanics. Overall in terms of gender, women are at lower risk than men for sustaining running-related injuries, although it depends on the factors taken into account. One possible reason for these differences in the injury rate and location might be the diss...
