Inorganic polyphosphates (PolyP) are linear polymers of few to several hundred orthophosphate residues, linked by energy-rich phosphoanhydride bonds. Four isolates had been screened from soil sample. By MALDI-TOF analysis, they were identified as Bacillius cereus, Acinetobacter towneri, B. megaterium and B. cereus. The production of PolyP in four isolates was studied in phosph...

We have examined the role of the callose synthase PMR4 in basal resistance and beta-aminobutyric acid-induced resistance (BABA-IR) of Arabidopsis thaliana against the hemi-biotrophic pathogen Pseudomonas syringae and the necrotrophic pathogen Alternaria brassicicola. Compared to wild-type plants, the pmr4-1 mutant displayed enhanced basal resistance against P. syringae, which correlated with co...

Virus infections induce the expression of ARGONAUTE1 (AGO1) mRNA and in parallel enhance the accumulation of miR168 (regulator of AGO1 mRNA). Here, we show that in virus-infected plants the enhanced expression of AGO1 mRNA is not accompanied by increased AGO1 protein accumulation. We also show that the induction of AGO1 mRNA level is a part of the host defence reaction, whereas the induction of...

a study was conducted in 2010 to investigate the effects of crude oil contaminated soil on biomass accumulation injatropha curcas seedlings in asaba, delta state, nigeria. oil levels used were 0.0, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0 and 10.0% w/w. the trial was arranged in a randomized complete block design with four replications and monitored for 12 weeks after transplanting. results showed that contamination...

herein, we report the f-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (18f-fdg) positron emission tomography (pet)/computed tomography (ct) findings of a benign solitary fibrous tumor (sft) of the kidney. the patient was a 63-year-old woman with a mass in the right kidney (10×9.7 cm), incidentally found on ct images. the ct scan showed a lobulated tumor arising from the hilum of the right kidney. the tumor consisted o...
