To evaluate the combined effects of 2x[CO2] and -H2O on the maize defense response, we analyzed the concentration of major phytohormones in stem tissues of -Fv and +Fv plants. Consis tent with +H2O maize, the concentration of JA was induced 2 d post +Fv in maize at 1x [CO2]-H2O but not at 2x[CO2]-H2O . However, there…

Comprising a set of high walls incised transversely by equally spaced arched passages, the garden presents itself as an open labyrinth. In this regard the sensation of moving amongst the array of walls and apertures is reminiscent of Eisenman’s Holocaust Memorial design, where the object is perhaps to test Walter Benjamin’s edict that we must…

The Fc RMSD is noticeably lower than the CMG2 RMSD for the Agly and GnGnXF glycoforms, indicating minor fold transitions in the CMG2 domains of these glycoforms.The hydrophobic solvent accessible surface area distributions are reported in Figure 11.The MAN8 glycoform has the highest amount of hydrophobic SASA in the simulation, while the aglycosylated has the…

Over 30 years ago branched β-1→3-glucans and the EP – AA and EPA – were characterized as potent oomycete elicitors of innate immune responses in plants. These and the Phytophthora elic itin proteins with activities in a somewhat narrower host range figured prominently in the literature in subsequent years, and were used to examine physiological, biochemical and molecular…

Combined, the strong signature of selection, high levels of population structure and lack of within-population variation observed at FRI suggests an adaptive role of this pleiotropy.Previous studies have found that the early flowering, low WUE phenotypes associated with drought escape are adaptive in sites without consistent low soil moisture. Although we did not directly measure…

Shortly afterwards, the Colombian government brought together a number of experts and created a scientific commission to examine the use of fumigation with herbicides for attacking marijuana production. This commission opposed the use of chemical substances. From there, the issue was passed on to the National Council on Narcotics which had been set up in 1974.…

This supports an urgent need to educate adolescents as they transition to experiencing more autonomy in food choices and other lifestyle behaviors that arise with emerging adulthood.Over 50% of youth had poor diet quality in 2016. Youth are well below meeting dietary recommendations despite having quite high nutritional requirements to support a period of immense…

Under the animal rule, efficacy is established based on adequate and well-controlled studies in animal models of the human disease or condition of interest, and safety is evaluated under the pre-existing requirements for drugs and biologic products.As an example, the plant-derived mAb cocktail ZMapp for Ebola virus disease, manufactured by Kentucky Bioprocessing for Mapp Biopharmaceutical…

CEVd has a wide host range and has been identified naturally infecting hosts other than citrus. CEVd is the largest among citrus viroids and has the unique property of spontaneously increasing in length its RNA genome by terminal repeats after prolonged infections on specific solanaceous hosts. Hop stunt viroidis the causal agent of the cachexia and…

Analyzing the effect of risk on risk taking by farmers in developing countries is harder to do. It is empirically difficult to formally test theories that relate decisions made by poor households with the relative riskiness of the options available to them. There two main reasons for this. First, it is very difficult to obtain…
