The composition of rhizosphere microbial communities was studied for different species and varieties of agricultural gramineous plants (rye and wheat) grown in the soils contrasting in a number of ...agrochemical parameters. The data on analysis of the rhizosphere microbial communities obtained by sequencing of the V4 variable region of the 16S rRNA gene and on the ion and mass spectral composition of soil extracts are presented. Alpha diversity indices of the rhizosphere and control communities were almost the same. Analysis of beta diversity revealed higher variability of the rhizosphere microbial communities for chernozem-grown plants. Rhizosphere communities of the plants grown on sod-podzol soil were more similar and formed separate clusters. The taxa reliably involved in formation of specific rye and wheat rhizosphere microbiomes were established. Both common rhizosphere taxa (
Sphingobacteriia
,
Betaproteobacteria
) and species- or variety-specific ones (
Oxalobacteraceae
,
Sphingobacteriaceae
) were determined. Ion concentrations in soil extracts varied significantly depending on the soil type, while the similarity of mass spectral profiles depended more on the plant species than on the soil type.
We present a search for lepton-flavor-violating τ decays into three leptons (electrons or muons) using 782 fb−1 of data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e− collider. ...No evidence for these decays is observed and we set 90% confidence level upper limits on the branching fractions between 1.5×10−8 and 2.7×10−8.
Abstract The $$K^{+} \rightarrow \pi ^{+}\pi ^{0}\pi ^{0}\gamma $$ K + → π + π 0 π 0 γ decay is observed by the OKA collaboration. About 60 events of the decay observed with signal:noise $$\approx ...1$$ ≈ 1 . The branching ratio obtained by normalization to $$K^{+} \rightarrow \pi ^{+}\pi ^{0}\pi ^{0}$$ K + → π + π 0 π 0 is measured to be $$(3.7 \pm 0.9(stat) \pm 0.3(syst))\times 10^{-6}$$ ( 3.7 ± 0.9 ( s t a t ) ± 0.3 ( s y s t ) ) × 10 - 6 for $$E_{\gamma }^*>10\,\textrm{MeV}$$ E γ ∗ > 10 MeV . The branching ratio, $$\gamma $$ γ energy spectrum and angular distribution are consistent with ChPT prediction.

We search for lepton-flavor and lepton-number-violating τ decays into a lepton (ℓ= electron or muon) and two charged mesons (h,h′=π± or K±) using 854 fb−1 of data collected with the Belle detector at ...the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e− collider. We obtain 90% confidence level upper limits on the τ→ℓhh′ branching fractions in the range (2.0–8.4)×10−8. These results improve upon our previously published upper limits by factors of about 1.8 on average.

where the first and second uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. The branching fractions of leptonic decays are measured to be
