To get clues about the genes as well as the gene regulatory circuit controlling the lytic development of temperate mycobacteriophage L1, previously we screened several conditional lethal mutants of L1 and characterized some of them to an extent. One of the mutants, L1 G23ts23, was found defective in both growth and late gene transcription at 42 degrees C but not at 32 degrees C. Here we show th...

This introduces the symposium on financial economics. JEL Classification Codes: G01, G02, G11, G12, G18, G21, G23, G28

Most previously reported RNA-cleaving DNAzymes require only a single divalent metal ion for catalysis. We recently reported a general trivalent lanthanide-dependent DNAzyme named Ce13d. This work shows that Ce13d requires both Na(+) and a trivalent lanthanide (e.g. Ce(3+)), simultaneously. This discovery is facilitated by the sequence similarity between Ce13d and a recently reported Na(+)-speci...

Six congenic lines containing B complex recombinants R1 = B-F/B-L24, B-G23; R2 = B-F/B-L2, BG23; R3 = B-F/B-L2, B-G23; R4 = B-F/B-L2, B-G23; R5 = B-F/B-L21, B-G19; and R6R6 = B-F/B-L21, B-G23 were tested individually for antibody response against SRBC. R2, R3 and R4 arose from independent recombination events but are serologically identical. Each B complex recombinant was crossed to inbred Line...

Elderly patients with obstructive lung diseases often receive mechanical ventilation to support their breathing and restore respiratory function. However, mechanical ventilation is known to increase the severity of ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) in the elderly. Therefore, it is important to investigate the effects of aging to better understand the lung tissue mechanics to estimate the se...

Most strawberry plants have white flowers and red fruit. We developed a new selection with pink fruit, named it G23. Basic phenotypic data were recorded over years of observation experimentation the flower crown diameter, petal color, rate fruit set, as well skin flesh seed color attachment status, weight shape, soluble solids contents, firmness. found that G23 bloomed stable produced consisten...

this research was investigated to analyze genotype × environment (ge) interaction for grain yield in durum wheat multi-environment trials (met) conducted in dryland agricultural research stations (dari) using gge (g + ge interaction) biplot methodology and joint regression analysis (b +  s2di). the environment, ge interaction and genotype effects were accounted for 84%, 7.7% and 2.3% of total s...
