Autophagy-mediated regulation of phytohormone metabolism during rice anther development

Autophagy has recently been shown to be required for postmeiotic anther development including anther dehiscence, programmed cell death-mediated degradation of the tapetum and pollen maturation in rice. Several phytohormones are known to play essential roles during male reproductive development including pollen maturation. However, the relationship between phytohormone metabolism and autophagy i...

[Experimental study on early development of rat ear in vitro using whole embryo culture].

Rat embryos were explanted on late 11 day of gestation and cultured for 24 hours in rotating bottles with the yolk sac opened. Rat serum was used as culture medium and culture bottles were filled with 5% CO2 + 95% O2 gas mixture as gas phase. At the time of explantation and the end of the culture period, differentiation and growth of the embryos were monitored by counting somites and measuring ...

Functional Properties of Glutinous Rice Flour by Dry-Heat Treatment

Glutinous rice flour (GRF) and glutinous rice starch (GRS) were modified by dry-heat treatment and their rheological, thermal properties and freeze-thaw stability were evaluated. Compared with the native GRF and GRS, the water-holding ability of modified GRF and GRS were enhanced. Both the onset and peak temperatures of the modified samples increased while the endothermic enthalpy change decrea...

Development of Early Maturing GEM lines with Value Added Traits: Moving U.S. Corn Belt GEM Germplasm Northward

Introduction: The corn-breeding program at NDSU has been developing early maturing (6595RM) corn since 1933. We have created ‘EarlyGEM’, a continuous effort to incorporate GEM germplasm into the northern U.S. Corn Belt. Our program is one of the few public programs that can still offer a strong emphasis on germplasm improvement, inbred line development, and training of applied plant breeders. T...
