Experiments were conducted at three sites across southern New South Wales, Australia, over years (2008 to 2010), evaluate the agronomic and quality parameters of two wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), barley (Hordeum vulgare oat (Avena sativa L.) one triticale (× Triticosecale) variety, grown as monocultures or in combination with purple vetch (Vicia benghalensis L.). Harvests occurred when individu...

BACKGROUND The complex life cycle of the genus Schistosoma drives the parasites to employ subtle developmentally dependent gene regulatory machineries. Small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs) are essential gene regulatory factors that, through their impact on mRNA and genome stability, control stage-specific gene expression. Abundant sncRNAs have been identified in this genus. However, their functional...

abstract- to investigate the effect of draught stress on water relations, stomatal density, chlorophyll content and yield of rapeseed, an experiment was done with four levels of drought stress including l1 (field capacity, fc), l2 (70% available water content, awc), l3 (50% awc), and l4 (30% awc), within three growth stages- including stem elongation (t1), onset of flowering (t2) and silique fo...

Heme oxygenase (HO) and carbon monoxide (CO) participate in the homeostatic control of cardiovascular functions, including the regulation of blood pressure (BP). Upregulation of the HO/CO system has been shown to lower BP in young (8 weeks) but not in adult (20 weeks) spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). The underlying mechanism for this selective effect, however, has been unknown and was inv...

This work evaluated the effect of drought stress on seedling growth, protein, soluble sugars, and phenolic compounds of two cultivars of canola (RGS003 and Sarigol). Drought stress was induced with polyethylene glycol (PEG) at 0, 5, 10, and 15%. Drought stress increased root fresh weight in both cultivars and the effect of drought was more pronounced in RGS003. Shoot fresh weight reduced in Sar...

Fermentation of paocai is a dynamic process the microbial community structure, and interaction between structure physicochemical factors endows with unique taste flavor. The study bacterial fungal changes driving mechanism induced in showing that Pseudomonas belonging to Proteobacteria Lactobacillus Firmicutes were dominant bacteria fermentation. correlation analysis showed titratable acid was ...

Calumenin is a Ca(2+)-binding protein that belongs to the CREC superfamily. It contains six EF-hand domains that exhibit a low affinity for Ca(2+) as well as an endoplasmic reticulum retention signal. Calumenin exhibits a broad and relatively high expression in various brain regions during development as demonstrated by in situ hybridization. Signal intensity of calumenin is highest during the ...

Periplasmic expression of soluble proteins in Escherichia coli not only offers a much-simplified downstream purification process, but also enhances the probability of obtaining correctly folded and biologically active proteins. Different combinations of signal peptides and target proteins lead to different soluble protein expression levels, ranging from negligible to several grams per litre. Ac...

Bronchial asthma is a chronic airway inflammatory condition with high morbidity, and effective treatments for asthma are limited. Allergen-specific immunotherapy can only induce peripheral immune tolerance and is not sustainable. Exploring new therapeutic strategies is of great clinical importance. Recombinant adenovirus (rAdV) was used as a vector to make cells expressing cytotoxic T lymphocyt...

the main objective of this study was to investigate the effect of enterococci isolated from traditional lighvan cheese on the quality of iranian uf white during ripening. four samples of cheese were provided from four different cheese production units in lighvan region. strains of enterococci in these samples were isolated by standard microbiological methods and selective medium of kanamycin es...
