Summary: Gastrointestinal - Anti-Nausea Flowering of many plant species depends on interactions between basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factors and systemically transported florigen proteins.Members of the genus Arabidopsis contain two of these bZIPs, FD and FDP, which we show have largely complementary expression patterns in shoot apices
Microfluidic High-Migratory Cell Collector Suppressing Artifacts Caused by Microstructures
The small number of high-migratory cancer cells in a cell population make studies on high-migratory cancer cells difficult.For the development of migration assays for such cancer cells, several microfluidic devices have been developed.However, they measure migration that is influenced by microstructures and they collect not only high-migratory cell
SsdchA is a novel secretory cellobiohydrolase driving pathogenicity in Sclerotinia sclerotiorum
The necrotrophic fungus, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, employs an array of cell wall-degrading enzymes (CWDEs), including cellulase, to dismantle host cell walls.However, the molecular mechanisms through which S.sclerotiorum degrades cellulose remain elusive.Here, we unveil a novel secretory cellobiohydrolase, SsdchA, characterized by a signal peptide
Removal of as(V), Cr(VI) and Cr(III) heavy metal ions from environmental waters using amidoxime and quaternized hydrogels
Acrylonitrile (AN) and 1-vinyl imidazole (VI) based hydrogel was prepared in bulk (macro) dimensions via redox polymerization technique.Afterward, this hydrogel was quaternized (positively charged) and exposed to the amidoximation reaction.The prepared hydrogels (quart-p(AN-co-VI), amid-p(AN-co-VI) and p(VI)) characterized using fourier transform i
