Nucellar embryony, a form of apomixis, is one the most important traits in citrus breeding. Transposition miniature inverted repeat transposable element (MITE) promoter CitRWP gene has been previously reported as causal mutation. However, features MITE such sequences terminal repeats (TIRs) and target site duplications (TSDs) remain unclear. An family, DTM10, showing highest homology was identi...

This case describes the development of quantum well infrared photodetectors (QWIPs). Following more than a decade of development, the QWIPs will fly aboard the Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM) as part of the Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS). Over its history, Landsat data have enabled agricultural, forestry, air quality, and geological activity monitoring among other societal benefits. The ...

A few occurrences of miniature inverted-repeat transposable elements (MITEs) have been reported in species of the genus Drosophila. Here, we describe msechBari, a MITE-like element in Drosophila sechellia. The element is short, approximately 90 bp in length, AT-rich and occurs in association with, or close to, genes, characteristics that are typical for MITEs. The identification was performed i...

In this paper, an improved small-angle sensor based on total-internal reflection (TIR) and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) in heterodyne interferometry (HI) is proposed. The improved small-angle sensor is designed as a reflective elongated prism made of BK7 glass. The shorter-side surface of the reflective elongated prism was coated with a 2 nm Ti film and a 45.5 nm Au film, but the longer-side...

Bacteriophage T7's gene 0.3, coding for an antirestriction protein, possesses one of the strongest translation initiation regions (TIR) in E. coli. It was isolated on DNA fragments of differing length and cloned upstream of the mouse dihydrofolate reductase gene in an expression vector to control the translation of this gene's sequence. The TIR's efficiency was highly dependent on nucleotides +...
