A high level of the nucleotide sequence conservation was found for mitochondrial nad3 gene of carrot. Three silent nucleotide substitutions differentiate nad3 open reading frames from cytoplasmic male sterile and male fertile carrots. All these differences are preserved on the RNA level. Partial and silent editing also distinguished both carrots. Three of the C to U conversions were specific to...

the removal of copper (ii), zinc (ii), and chromium (iii) from wastewater by carrot residues(cr) was investigated to evaluate cation exchange capacity. the effects of solution ph and co- ions werestudied in batch experiments. adsorption equilibria were initially rapidly established, and then decreasedmarkedly after 10 min. column experiments were carried out in a glass column filled with cr toe...

Two lines of transgenic carrot plants producing Mycobacterium tuberculosis proteins (ESAT6 and CFP10) have been constructed. The target proteins are present in carrot storage roots at a level not less than 0.056% of the total storage protein (TSP) for ESAT6 and 0.002% of TSP for CFP10. As has been shown, oral immunization of mice induces both the cell-mediated and humoral immunities. These data...

This paper presents a case study of introducing usability practices to a small open source project called Carrot. We describe our experiences from a point of view of an active Carrot developer, who is at the same time a usability enthusiast and practitioner. We perform a critical analysis of the system’s original user interface and describe the steps we took to improve it. We also analyse the s...

Polyclonal antibodies raised against rat vesicle associated membrane protein-2 (VAMP-2) recognized, in carrot (Daucus carota) microsomes, two major polypeptides of 18 and 30 kD, respectively. A biochemical separation of intracellular membranes by a sucrose density gradient co-localized the two polypeptides as resident in light, dense microsomes, corresponding to the endoplasmic reticulum-enrich...

Introduction: Comet Wild-2 samples collected by NASA's Stardust mission are extremely complex, heterogeneous , and have experienced wide ranges of alteration during the capture process. There are two major types of track morphologies: " carrot " and " bulbous , " that reflect different structural/compositional properties of the impactors. Carrot type tracks are typically produced by compact or ...

The role of reduced and oxidized glutathione in plant development was investigated using wild carrot suspension cultures. Concentrations of GSH are lower in developing than in proliferating carrot cultures. Addition of 0.3 mM-buthionine sulfoximine (a glutathione synthesis inhibitor) to developing cultures decreased the cellular GSH levels and enhanced somatic embryogenesis while addition of 0....

We have initiated immunological and drug-binding studies on the tubulins from different higher plant species. Antibodies were raised against electrophoretically separated rose (Rosa sp.) tubulin alpha- and beta-subunits and characterized by immunoblot autoradiographic assays. Each IgG preparation bound to its antigen and cross-reacted differentially with the respective tubulin subunits from an ...

The causal fungus of pear scab, Venturia nashicola, grows slowly and rarely produces conidia on artificial media in the laboratory, but it produced conidia on the Cheongah medium containing Cheongah powder. V. nashicola grew too slow to produce conidia until 15 days after cultivation but produced conidia with 4 × 104 conidia/plate 30 days after cultivation on the Cheongah medium containing 1% C...

Larval rearing of Bactrocera invadens Drew, Tsuruta & White (Diptera: Tephritidae) on artiÞcial diet is described. The adaptation process for this insect, when moved from whole mango, Mangifera indica L., fruit rearing to artiÞcial diet based on wheat bran, took between three and Þve generations to reach theplateauof quality control parameters observed for rearing the insect onwhole mango fruit...
