Cloning of a wheat 15-kDa grain softness protein (GSP). GSP is a mixture of puroindoline-like polypeptides

Degrade GSP ’ s Efficiency ?

We consider variants of the cascade model of externalities in sponsored search auctions introduced independently by Aggrawal et al. and Kempe and Mahdian in 2008, where the click-through rate of a slot depends also on the ads assigned to earlier slots. Aggrawal et al. and Kempe and Mahdian give a dynamic programming algorithm for finding the efficient allocation in this model. We give worst-cas...

Automorphic Representations of Gsp(4)

1. In this note, we shall describe a classification for automorphic representations of GSp(4), the group of similitudes of four-dimensional symplectic space. The results are part of a project [A3] on the automorphic representations of general classical groups. The monograph [A3] is still in preparation. When complete, it will contain a larger classification of representations, subject to a gene...

Hordoindolines are associated with a major endosperm-texture QTL in barley (Hordeum vulgare).

Endosperm texture has a tremendous impact on the end-use quality of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Cultivars of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), a close relative of wheat, also vary measurably in grain hardness. However, in contrast to wheat, little is known about the genetic control of barley grain hardness. Puroindolines are endosperm-specific proteins found in wheat and its relatives. In wheat, p...

BESSEL MODELS FOR GSp(4)

Methods of theta correspondence are used to analyze local and global Bessel models for GSp4 proving a conjecture of Gross and Prasad which describes these models in terms of local epsilon factors in the local case, and the nonvanishing of central critical L-value in the global case.
