The symbolic value of Avicenna has been chosen to commemorate scientific occasions, achievements and anniversaries, which represents the ul...

Gene silencing by RNA interference is a particularly important tool in the study of gene function in polyploid cereal species for which the collections of natural or induced mutants are very limited. Previously we have been testing small interfering RNA-based approach of gene silencing in wheat and triticale. In this research, artificial microRNAs (amiRs) were studied in the same species and th...

One form of the Tramtrack protein (Ttk88) acts as a general inhibitor of photoreceptor differentiation in developing Drosophila eyes. This inhibition is removed by targeting Ttk88 for degradation, which requires two proteins, Phyl and Sina, previously thought to act in the determination of specific photoreceptor subtypes.

We use elastomeric ligatures to facilitate the procedure, as shown here with Damon 3MX* self-li...
