The dominant I gene inhibits accumulation of anthocyanin pigments in the epidermal layer of soybean (Glycine max) seed coats. Seed-coat color is also influenced by the R locus and by the pubescence color alleles (T, tawny; t, gray). Protein and RNA from cultivars with black (i,R,T) and brown (i,r,T) seed coats are difficult to extract. To determine the nature of the interfering plant products, ...

multiple adhesive coating is a controversial topic, especially in primary dentition that should be clarified. we evaluated the effect of multiple consecutive adhesive resin coatings on the microshear bond strength (μsbs) of composite resin to primary tooth dentin utilizing a filled (adper single bond plus) and an unfilled (adper single bond) adhesive resin.thirty extracted primary canines were ...

The shells/coats of nuts and seeds are often very hard to crack. This is particularly the case with Macadamia seed coats, known to exhibit astoundingly high strength and toughness. We performed an extensive materials science characterization of the complex hierarchical structure of these coats, using light and scanning electron microscopy in 2D as well as microCT for 3D characterization. We dif...

DIVERTICULA of the alimentary tract may be congenital or acquired. The congenital variety is composed of all coats of the intestinal wall and is said to be a "true" diverticulum. The acquired variety may be either "true" or "false" depending on whether or not protrusion of the muscle coats of the intestinal wall occurs with the mucous membrane. Although the majority of acquired diverticula are ...

Vesicle and tubule transport containers move proteins and lipids from one membrane system to another. Newly forming transport containers frequently have electron-dense coats. Coats coordinate the accumulation of cargo and sculpt the membrane. Recent advances have shown that components of both COP1 and clathrin-adaptor coats share the same structure and the same motif-based cargo recognition and...
