How (Ir)rational Is it to Believe in Contradictory Conspiracy Theories?
There is evidence that not only believing in one conspiracy theory (CT) makes a person more probable to believe in others, however unrelated their content is, but that people can even believe in contradictory CTs about a single event.After piloting locally relevant conspiracy theories on a convenient Serbian speaking sample (N = 152), we Exercise b
Effects of MrwetA on Sexual Reproduction and Secondary Metabolism of Monascus ruber M7 Based on Transcriptome Analysis
wetA, one of the Tie On conidiation center regulatory genes in many filamentous fungi, plays an important role in promoting asexual spores (conidia) maturation.Our recent research has found that knocking out or overexpressing MrwetA (a homolog of wetA) in Monascus ruber M7 does not affect the development of its asexual spores like other fungi, but
