Low concentrations of the glucose (Glc) analog mannose (Man) inhibit germination of Arabidopsis seeds. Man is phosphorylated by hexokinase (HXK), but the absence of germination was not due to ATP or phosphate depletion. The addition of metabolizable sugars reversed the Man-mediated inhibition of germination. Carbohydrate-mediated regulation of gene expression involving a HXK-mediated pathway is...

She rang under my feet like an empty Huntley & Palmer biscuit-tin kicked along a gutter; she was nothing so solid in make, and rather less pretty in shape, but I had expended enough hard work on her to make me love her. No influential friend would have served me better. She had given me a chance to come out a bit--to find out what I could do. No, I don't like work. I had rather laze about and t...

Yarning serves as a medium to establish build respectful relationships, exchange stories traditions, preserve pass cultural knowledge. The following discussion is with Oliver Costello, Bundjalung man, from the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales. was instrumental in creating Firesticks Initiative...

Forty-eight isolates of aeromonads from clinical specimens were studied. The laboratory procedures employed and the results obtained are reported in the hope that they may be of assistance to other workers in the field of diagnostic microbiology. Capability of identifying these organisms in the laboratory will contribute to a better understanding of the role of this group of organisms in human ...

1. The fate of [(14)C]amphetamine in man, rhesus monkey, greyhound, rat, rabbit, mouse and guinea pig has been studied. 2. In three men receiving orally 5mg each (about 0.07mg/kg), about 90% of the (14)C was excreted in the urine in 3-4 days. About 60-65% of the (14)C was excreted in 1 day, 30% as unchanged drug, 21% as total benzoic acid and 3% as 4-hydroxyamphetamine. 3. In two rhesus monkeys...
