Low-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (LMW-GS) are of great importance in processing quality and participate in the formation of polymers in wheat. In this study, eight new LMW-GS alleles were isolated from Chinese wheat landraces (Triticum aestivum L.) and designated as Glu-A3-1a, Glu-A3-1b, Glu-B3-1a, Glu-B3-1b, Glu-B3-1c, Glu-D3-1a, Glu-D3-1b, and Glu-D3-1c, which were located at the Glu-A3...

The B low Mr subunits of glutenin of the F2 generation from three durum wheat crosses were analysed. Three new alleles were found at three different loci: Glu-A3i coding for 5C20 subunits, Glu-B2c coding for subunit 12* and Glu-B3l coding for 1C3C13*C16 subunits. The genetic distances between Glu-A3-Gli-A1, Glu-B2-Gli-B1, Glu-B3-Glu-B2 and Glu-B3-Gli-B1 were calculated. The effects of the allel...

Glucose-averse (Glu/Glu) male German cockroaches, Blattella germanica, rejected brief exposures to glucose solutions despite food deprivation so extreme as to cause high mortality. In the 24-h period following 5 days of food deprivation, both Glu/Glu and wild-type (+/+) were given a continuous source of 1 M glucose solution. Although Glu/Glu visited the solution as frequently as +/ + , feeding ...

Download curonidation is an important pathway in the metabolism of nicotine, with previous studies suggesting 22% of urinary nicotine metabolites are in the form of glucuronidated compounds. Recent in vitro studve suggested that the UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGT) 2B10 and 2B17 play major roles in nicotine onidation with polymorphisms in both enzymes shown to significantly alter the levels o...

The maintenance of brain extracellular glutamate (Glu) at levels below its excitotoxic threshold is performed by Glu transporters present on glia and neurons as well as on brain capillary endothelial cells which remove brain Glu into blood. The feasibility of accelerating the naturally occurring brain-to-blood Glu efflux was studied using paradigms based on the fate of Glu present in the cerebr...
