Neural tissue in developing Xenopus embryos is induced by signals from the dorsal mesoderm. Induction of anterior neural tissue could be mediated by noggin, a secreted polypeptide found in dorsal mesoderm. We show that bFGF, a known mesoderm inducer of blastula staged ectoderm, induces neural tissue from gastrula stage ectoderm. The type of neural tissue induced by bFGF from stage 10.25 ectoder...

Context. Dense molecular cores are studied in order to gain insight into the processes causing clouds to fragment and form stars. In this study we concentrate on a region which is assumed to represent an early stage of clustered star formation in a giant molecular cloud. Aims. The aims of this study are to determine the properties and spatial distribution of dense cores in the relatively quiesc...

Acinetobacter baumannii is frequently associated with nosocomial infections, and its increasing resistance to carbapenems may significantly reduce the choice of effective antibiotics (2). Since the first description of a carbapenem-hydrolyzing class D -lactamase (CHDL), ARI-1 (renamed OXA-23), from a clinical isolate of A. baumannii in Scotland in 1995 (11), the corresponding blaOXA-23 gene has...

Sugarcane (Saccharum spp. hybrid) is a noteworthy crop in the world for sugar and bioenergy production. In present study, transcriptomic analysis was steered high sucrose mutant Guixuan B9 (GXB9) low mother genotype of sugarcane during accumulating stage. A total 112,170 unigenes were obtained, 106,026 (94.52%) annotated by using available public databases nonredundant, Gene ontology, COG, Kyot...

Water vapor transport plays a significant role in maintaining the water cycle over Tibetan Plateau (TP). This study investigates characteristics of across TP southern boundaries and its impacts on precipitation during Indian summer monsoon (ISM) season from 2000 to 2019. The boundary is subdivided into four sub-boundaries east west: 7 (100°–95° E), 8 (95°–89° 9 (89°–80° 10 (80°–70° E) (B7, B8, ...

Carboranes. B9-functionalized carboranylphosphines with bulky electron-donating substituents display an extremely electron-releasing character, as reported by Evamarie Hey-Hawkins et al. in their Research Article (e202218648). The compounds exert a high steric demand, which allows the mesityl derivatives to form stabilized phosphoniumyl radical cations.
