TL;DR: The proteinase A structural gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was cloned by using an immunological screening procedure that allows detection of yeast cells which are aberrantly secreting vacuolar proteins, and genetic linkage data demonstrate that integrated copies of the cloned proteinase B structural gene map to the PEP4 locus.

TL;DR: This finding revises the understanding of the origin of the Chinese Loess Plateau and provides a potential solution for mismatches between late Cenozoic terrestrial sedimentation and marine geochemistry records, as well as between global CO2 and erosion records.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used paleoclimatic indexes from Chinese loess deposits, which have clear climatic implications and are independently dated, to reconstruct the monsoon precipitation since 21 ka.

TL;DR: In this article, geochronology of the last glacial loess-palaeosol sequences, based on lumines-cence dating and amino acid racemisation, provides correlations between Upper Pleistocene Loess-Palaeoosol sediments in Vojvodina and comparable deposits at other European localities.

TL;DR: In this article, a new Danube Basin wide loess stratigraphy based on a synthetic type section of the Mosorin and Stari Slankamen sites in Serbia is presented.
