Potatoes are a high-value crop with shallow root system and high fertilizer requirements. The primary emphasis in potato production is minimizing nitrogen-leaching losses from the zone through fertigation. Therefore, field experiment was conducted for two consecutive years, 2018–2019 2019–2020 to assess effect of nitrogen irrigation amount frequency on tuber yield, water balance components prod...

A field experiment was conducted during three seasons of 2019-20 at RPCAU, Pusa to evaluate the Effect Diversification on System Productivity and Profitability under North Bihar Condition. Treatment comprised cropping systems in main plots: C1 - Rice Wheat Fallow, C2 Green Gram, C3 Maize Dhaincha, C4 + Potato C5 Pea Dhaincha moisture regimes sub plots with 3 days disappearance ponded water khar...

A multitude of applications operating across various tiers of fully distributed IT architectures can be found in today’s corporate information ecosystem. These highly integrated and interdependant application environments are increasingly complex and too often susceptible to performance and availability challenges. This latest version of the VERITAS i3 Application Performance Management suite p...

BACKGROUND The identification of free-living marine nematodes is difficult because of the paucity of easily scorable diagnostic morphological characters. Consequently, molecular identification tools could solve this problem. Unfortunately, hitherto most of these tools relied on 18S rDNA and 28S rDNA sequences, which often lack sufficient resolution at the species level. In contrast, only a few ...

Peptides from the intracellular regions of G protein-coupled receptors are useful probes of receptor-G protein coupling mechanisms. As a first step toward the genetic delivery of such "G protein inhibitors," we describe inhibition of angiotensin II (AII) receptor responses by expressed fragments of the second and third intracellular loops of the AT1a receptor (AT1a/i2 and AT1a/i3). Transient tr...

We have isolated an RGS-GAIP interacting protein that links RGS proteins to protein degradation. GIPN (GAIP interacting protein N terminus) is a 38-kDa protein with an N-terminal leucine-rich region, a central RING finger-like domain, and a putative C-terminal transmembrane domain. GIPN binds exclusively to RGS proteins of subfamily A, RGS-GAIP, RGSZ1, and RGSZ2. The N-terminal leucine-rich reg...

Three iridoids (lamalbid (I1), sesamoside (I2) and shanzhiside methyl ester (I3)) and seven polyphenols (cistanoside F (P1), chlorogenic acid (P2), pedalitin-6-O-laminaribioside (P3), pedaliin (P4), isoacteoside (P6), pedalitin (P7) and martynoside (P8)) were identified in young sesame leaves (Sesamum indicum L.) other than the acteoside (P5) reported previously. P3 was a new compound, and I1, ...

G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are important therapeutic targets for many areas of drug research and development. Although chimeric Galpha16 proteins are valuable tools for detecting the activation of Galpha(i/o)-coupled receptors, the details of the activation process remain unclear. The authors introduce a series of chimeras that combine both Galpha16 and Galpha(i/o) (Galpha(16/o), Galph...
