The modular nature of the abscisic acid response complex (ABRC), the promoter unit necessary and sufficient for abscisic acid (ABA) induction of gene expression in barley, is defined in this study. We investigated ABA induction of a barley late gmbrogenesis gbundant (Lea) gene, HVA1, and found that the ABRC of this gene consists of a 10-bp box with an ACGT core (ACGT-box) and the 11 bp directly...

The modular nature of the abscisic acid response complex (ABRC), the promoter unit necessary and sufficient for abscisic acid (ABA) induction of gene expression in barley, is defined in this study. We investigated ABA induction of a barley late embrogenesis abundant (Lea) gene, HVA1, and found that the ABRC of this gene consists of a 10-bp box with an ACGT core (ACGT-box) and the 11 bp directly...

A new polyvinyl choloride (PVC) membrane sensor for cerium (III) was prepared based on 4,13-didecyl-1,7,10,16-tetraoxa-4,13-diazacyclooctadecane (kryptofix22DD) as an ionophore. The sensor exhibites a linear concentration range of 1.0×10-6 to 1.0×10-1 M, with a Nernstian slope of 18.0±1.0 mV/decade, and a detection limit of 9.7×10-7 M. It has a fast response time (5 s) and can be used for two m...

Lu3Al5O12:Ce3+ is a promising color converter for laser diode (LD)-driven solid-state lighting due to the improved thermal stability of its luminescence compared with widely used Y3Al5O12:Ce3+ materials. However, LuAG:Ce3+ emits green light, which severe drawback white lighting. Here, we report biphasic Lu3MgAl3SiO12:Ce3+ (BP-LMAS:Ce3+) transparent ceramics designed multiple-component strategy ...
