In Arabidopsis, NPR1 is a key transcriptional coregulator of systemic acquired resistance. Upon pathogen challenge, NPR1 translocates from the cytoplasm to the nucleus, in which it interacts with TGA-bZIP transcription factors to activate the expression of several pathogenesis-related (PR) genes. In a screen of a yeast two-hybrid library from wheat leaves infected with Puccinia striiformis f. s...

In this study, the effects of konjac glucomannan (KGM) at different concentrations on physiochemical and sensory properties soy protein isolate (SPI), pea (PPI), or peanut (PNPI) compound gels were investigated. The results revealed that when ratio PNPI to KGM was 90:10, denaturation temperature could be significantly enhanced 119.32°C by modification. Concerning textural microstructural featur...

One of the oldest research reactors was launched over forty years ago. The WWR-M reactor started operating in December, 1959 at Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute (PNPI) in Gatchina. Ever since it has been normally operating without replacement of the tank. Russia’s concern for this reactor as a stationary neutron source was significantly increased, when many research reactors were shut down ...

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) type VIIC is a recessively inherited connective-tissue disorder, characterized by extreme skin fragility, characteristic facies, joint laxity, droopy skin, umbilical hernia, and blue sclera. Like the animal model dermatosparaxis, EDS type VIIC results from the absence of activity of procollagen I N-proteinase (pNPI), the enzyme that excises the N-propeptide of type ...

Meteorological drought is a climatic condition categorized by scarcity of rainfall. Understanding the characteristics significant step appointed uncertain climate conditions due to current global change. This study aims assess duration and frequency using Normal Precipitation Index (PNPI) method identify in area. The PNPI revealed spatial variation percent value monthly rainfall average across ...

This article reviews the development of various sources for ultracold neutrons (UCNs) at Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute (PNPI). For 45 years, PNPI has proposed and manufactured cryogenic devices neutron conversion to low energies. Based on beryllium, hydrogen deuterium, they can be operated in intense radiation fields near core a nuclear reactor. A more recently launched UCN source utiliz...
