Protein phosphorylation and dephosphorylation is a key mechanism for the spatial and temporal regulation of many essential developmental processes and is especially prominent during mitosis. The multi-subunit protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) enzyme plays an important, yet poorly characterized role in dephosphorylating proteins during mitosis. PP2As are heterotrimeric complexes comprising a catalyt...

Specific models of supersymmetry breaking predict relations between the trilinear and bilinear soft supersymmetry breaking parameters A0 and B0 at the input scale. In such models, the value of tan β can be calculated as a function of the scalar masses m0 and the gaugino masses m1/2, which we assume to be universal. The experimental constraints on sparticle and Higgs masses, b → sγ decay and the...

in order to investigate the effects of seed inoculation with plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr) on germination components and seedling growth of corn (zea mays l.), a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted at the seed technology laboratory of mohaghegh ardabili university, iran, during 2008. studied factors were: corn cultiv...

Phytophthora species are considered as the major cause of several plant diseases resulting in huge yield losses in agricultural crops. Despite years of effort to develop Phytophthora resistance varieties, there is no reports of a resistant cucumber variety. In this study, the effect of concomitant application of potassium phosphite (KPhi) and chitosan on some physiological and molecular respons...

Two unique approaches were proposed to strengthen the bond between glass fiber reinforcement polymer (GFRP) and RC concrete surfaces. The two bonding materials are epoxy (EP) geopolymer (GPP) with different ratios of short fibers (SGF). experimental program includes seven reinforced (RC) beams that have same cross-section (150 mm × 200 mm) 1500 in length. first beam is control (B0-Control). nex...

Inoculation of the grapevine (Vitis amurensis Rupr.) with the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus Glomus versiforme significantly increased resistance against the root-knot nematode (RKN) Meloidogyne incognita. Studies using relative quantitative reverse transcription-PCR (RQRT-PCR) analysis of grapevine root inoculation with the AM fungus revealed an up-regulation of VCH3 transcripts. This incr...

effect of free and symbiotic nitrogen fixing bacteria on seed and seedling produced seeds under deficit irrigation was conducted in laboratory and field experiments in 2006. in laboratory of karaj’s seed and plant research and certificate institute an experiment was conducted based on factorial in form of completely randomized design with four replications and in field’s of islamic azad univers...

The decays B0 → D∗+D∗−, B0 → DD and B0 → D+D− are studied in 9.7 × 106 Υ(4S) → BB̄ decays accumulated with the CLEO detector. We determine B(B0 → D∗+D∗−) = (9.9 −3.3 [stat.] ± 1.2 [syst.])×10 −4 and limit B(B0 → DD) < 6.3×10−4 and B(B0 → D+D−) < 9.4×10−4 at 90% confidence level (CL). We also perform the first angular analysis of the B0 → D∗+D∗− decay and determine that the CP -even fraction of t...
