The Arabidopsis mutant downy mildew resistant 6 (dmr6) carries a recessive mutation that results in the loss of susceptibility to Hyaloperonospora parasitica. Here we describe the map-based cloning of DMR6 (At5g24530), which was found to encode a 2-oxoglutarate (2OG)-Fe(II) oxygenase of unknown function. DMR6 transcription is locally induced during infections with both compatible and incompatib...

The paper is focused on signaling traffic between Gnutella peers that implement the latest Gnutella protocol specifications (v0.6). In particular, we provide analytically tractable statistical models at session level, message level and IP datagram level for traffic crossing a Gnutella ultrapeer at Blekinge Institute of Technology (BTH) in Karlskrona, Sweden. To the best of our knowledge this is...

Studying urban expansion from a longer-term perspective is of great significance to obtain an in-depth understanding the process urbanization. Remote sensing data are mostly selected investigate long-term cities. In this study, we world-class agglomeration Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (BTH) as study area, and then discussed how make full use multi-source, multi-category, multi-temporal spatial (old ma...

Iron and steel manufacturing, especially the sintering process, is highly energy- pollution-intensive, responsible for substantial emissions of major air pollutants in China, including particulate matter (PM), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), which poses challenges to quality improvement country. In this study, we carried out a comprehensive analysis temporal spatial characteristic ...

Introduction With the promulgation of air pollution control policies, there are still many cities where PM 2.5 concentration exceeds 35 μg/m 3 , and O is increasingly apparent. Methods The spatio-temporal evolution differentiation characteristics were explored, then compound hotspot urban agglomerations screened out. A weather normalization technique was used to identify driving amount, influen...

Abstract. Nitrate is an increasingly important component of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in Chinese cities. The production nitrate not only related to the abundance its precursor, but it also supported by atmospheric photochemical oxidants, raising a new challenge for current emission control actions China. This paper uses comprehensive measurements and regional meteorology–chemistry model w...

Wall-associated kinases comprise a sub-family of receptor-like kinases that function in plant growth and stress responses. Previous studies have shown that the rice wall-associated kinase, OsWAK25, interacts with a diverse set of proteins associated with both biotic and abiotic stress responses. Here, we show that wounding and BTH treatments induce OsWAK25 transcript expression in rice. We gene...

We characterized the accumulation patterns of Arabidopsis thaliana proteins, two CuZnSODs, FeSOD, MnSOD, PR1, PR5, and GST1, in response to various pathogen-associated treatments. These treatments included inoculation with virulent and avirulent Pseudomonas syringae strains, spontaneous lesion formation in the lsd1 mutant, and treatment with the salicylic acid (SA) analogs INA (2,6-dichloroison...

Mouse models for human deafness have not only proven instrumental in the identification of genes for hereditary hearing loss, but are excellent model systems in which to examine gene function as well as the resulting pathophysiology. One mouse model for human nonsyndromic deafness is the deafness (dn) mouse, a spontaneous mutation in the curly-tail (ct) stock. The dn gene is on mouse Chromosome...
