Mesorhizobium species are the main microsymbionts associated with the medicinal or sand-fixation plants Astragalus membranaceus and Caragana intermedia (AC) in temperate regions of China, while all the Mesorhizobium strains isolated from each of these plants could nodulate both of them. However, Rhizobium yanglingense strain CCBAU01603 could nodulate AC plants and it's a high efficiency symbiot...

Background:   To compare the results of two different ways of distal femoral osteotomy stabilization in patients suffering from genuvalgum: internal fixation with plate, and casting. Methods:   In a non-randomized prospective study, after distal femoral osteotomy with the zigzag method, patients were divided into two groups: long leg casting, and internal fixation with blade plate. For all pati...

conclusions metacarpal neck fractures are a common injury in young and active patients that results in substantial missed time from work. while the surgical indications are well-described, there is no consensus on the optimal treatment modality because of high complication rates. dorsal plating has higher complication rates than closed reduction and percutaneous pinning, but is necessary in com...

the rapidly expanding fields of pharmacogenomics and pharmacodiagnostics have presented the pathology laboratories with many challenges and opportunities. as custodians of patient tissues, these laboratories are in the logical position to perform biomolecular testing for proper management of patients. in order to meet these challenges, the pathology laboratories of the twenty-first century shou...

Many proteins self-assemble to form large supramolecular complexes. Numerous examples of these structures have been characterized, ranging from spherical viruses to tubular protein assemblies. Some new kinds of supramolecular structures are just coming to light, while it is likely there are others that have not yet been discovered. The carboxysome is a subcellular structure that has been known ...

The current study examined the role of temporal resolution of attention in the decline in multiple object tracking abilities with healthy aging. The temporal resolution of attention is known to limit attentional tracking of one and multiple targets (Holcombe & Chen, 2013). Here, we examined whether aging is associated with a lower temporal resolution of attention when tracking one target, the e...

Symbiotic interactions in the marine environment have long been represented by mutualisms between photosymbionts and benthic marine invertebrates like corals and sponges. Although ‘upside-down’ epibenthic jellyfish in the genus Cassiopea also derive a substantial metabolic benefit from abundant communities of the dinoflagellate symbiont Symbiodinium, comparatively little is known about the effi...

salinity is among important soil stresses adversely affecting the process of nitrogen (n) fixation in leguminous plants in different parts of the world. it has been indicated that salinity can inhibit the early stages of nodulation process between bacterium and the host plant including the exchange of signal molecules (nod gene inducers). there has not been any research regarding the effects of...

Legumes form root nodules to gain fixed nitrogen from rhizobia and can also access in soil. Data suggest that plants might discriminate among these sources optimize growth, but recognition of symbiotically its regulation remain poorly understood. A greenhouse inoculation study manipulated the molecular concentration available using two Lotus japonicus genotypes nitrogen-fixing symbiont, Mesorhi...
