Heterotrimeric G proteins of the G(i) class have been implicated in signaling pathways regulating growth and metabolism under physiological and pathophysiological conditions. Knockout mice carrying inactivating mutations in both of the widely expressed Galpha(i) class genes, Galpha(i2) and Galpha(i3), demonstrate shared as well as gene-specific functions. The presence of a single active allele ...

Potatoes are a high-value crop with shallow root system and high fertilizer requirements. The primary emphasis in potato production is minimizing nitrogen-leaching losses from the zone through fertigation. Therefore, field experiment was conducted for two consecutive years, 2018–2019 2019–2020 to assess effect of nitrogen irrigation amount frequency on tuber yield, water balance components prod...

this study was conducted to determine the appropriate irrigation interval on the basis of cumulative water evaporation from standard evaporation pan (class a) and to find out the effects of irrigation regimes on growth indices and on qualitative and quantitative yields of sugar beet. the experiment was conducted in 2005 at the lavark agricultural experiment station fields, isfahan university of...

Activation of the opioid receptor results in short-term inhibition of intracellular cAMP levels followed by receptor desensitization and subsequent increase of cAMP above the control level (adenylyl cyclase superactivation). Using adenovirus to deliver pertussis toxin-insensitive mutants of the -subunits of Gi/o that are expressed in neuroblastoma Neuro2A cells (G i2, G i3, and G o), we examine...

BACKGROUND Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) is one important family of growth factors, which plays key role in intestinal growth, regeneration, and damage repair. However, the low natural abundance of IGF-I limits its research opportunities and practical application in the fields of medicine and animal husbandry. In this study, a tandem repeat strategy was used to express three copies of th...

A two-year field experiment was conducted at Regional Agricultural Research Station, Jessore during the rabi seasons of 2002—2003 and 2003-2004 to find out the level of disease incidence under different levels of irrigation and fungicide spray on the bulb yield of onion. Four irrigation levels: no irrigation (I1), irrigation at 10 days interval (I2), 20 days interval (I3), and 30 days interval ...

In this paper we present R&D of n-in-p pixel sensors, aiming for a very high radiation environment up to a fluence of 10 neq/cm . To fabricate these sensors, two batches with different mask sets were employed: the first resulted in pixel sensors compatible with the ATLAS pixel readout frontend chip called FE-I3, and the second in FE-I3 and a new frontend chip, FE-I4, compatible sensors; small d...
