The aim of the study is to evaluate effect Oat–field pea intercropping on yield, nutritive value, and environmental impact oat grown under a reduced level nitrogen fertilisation. trial was laid out in randomized complete block design with following treatments: oat-0 (oat (Avena sativa L., SRCP X 80 Ab 2291 variety) without N fertilization (urea)), oat-23 fertilised 23 kg N/ha), oat-46 46 O1P1 i...

Viral determinants involved in systemic infection of hosts by monocot-infecting plant viruses are poorly understood. Wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV, genus Tritimovirus, family Potyviridae) exclusively infects monocotyledonous crops such as wheat, oat, barley, maize, triticale, and rye. Previously, we reported that WSMV CP amino acids 36-84 are expendable for systemic infection of wheat, maize,...

We recently cloned and characterized the rat kidney-specific organic anion transporter, OAT-K1, which was suggested to mediate renal tubular transport of methotrexate. In this study, we investigated the interactions of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) with OAT-K1 by evaluating the effects of these drugs on renal distribution of methotrexate in vivo, and on methotrexate accumulation...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), oral anticoagulant therapy (OAT) is effective in reducing stroke and embolism. However, despite OAT, ischemic events do occur in some patients. Studies specifically addressing the identification of risk factors for ischemic events during well-conducted OAT are not available. In this study, we prospectively investigated the role o...

We read with great interest the article by González-Juanatey et al. on the cost-effectiveness of the new oral anticoagulant dabigatran compared with conventional oral anticoagulant therapy (OAT) in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. This study consisted of a simulation using modern computer models applied to the Spanish setting. It concluded that dabigatran would be an effective str...

Phytochrome A is a member of a plant regulatory photoreceptor family (1). The down-regulation by phytochrome of the transcription of its own PHYA3 gene, is one of the most rapid light-mediated effects on transcription reported to date in plants (2). Two positive elements designated PE1 (-367 bp to -346 bp) and PE3 (-111 bp to -81 bp) necessary for high level expression of the oat PHYA3 gene, we...

Background Deficiency of available forms of phosphorus is common in most soils and causes reduction of crop plants growth and yield. Recently, model plants responses to phosphate (Pi) deficiency have been intensively studied. However, acclimation mechanisms of cereals like oat (Avena sativa L.), to low Pi stress remains not fully understood. Oat plants have been usually cultured on poor soils, ...

A barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) cDNA, PM19, encoding a putative plasma membrane protein was isolated through differential screening of a dormant wild oat embryo library. PM19 is expressed in barley embryos from mid-embryogenesis up to maturity. PM19 mRNA levels decline upon germination, whereas dormant embryos retained high levels of message for up to 72 h of imbibition. PM19 mRNA levels also rem...

A Wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV) genome lacking HC-Pro was constructed and confirmed by reverse transcription-PCR to systemically infect wheat, oat, and corn. Coupled in vitro transcription/translation reactions indicated that WSMV P1 proteinase cleaved the polyprotein at the P1/P3 junction of the HC-Pro null mutant. The WSMV HC-Pro null mutant was competent for virion formation, but the viru...
