چکیده
This article explains the physiological response of the specific potato species upon infection by the specific nematode species. This article is interesting enough to initiate the research on specific stimulus and response, however it fails to do so due to the luck of controls. For example, first, two species of plant roots are measured by their voltage change upon nematode infection. The author attempts to identify if this physiological response comes from physical stimulus or chemical stimulus. Both cases of stimulus don’t show similarity to initial response. The authors claim that it is because the plans might have developed a defense mechanism. However, they fail to show any evidence that the initial and secondary physiological response are specific to Nematode species.

Two patched protein subtypes and a conserved domain of group I proteins that regulates turnover.
Patched (Ptc) is a 12-cross membrane protein that binds the secreted Hedgehog protein. Its regulation of the Hedgehog signaling pathway is critical to normal development and to a number of human diseases. This report analyzes features of sequence similarity and divergence in the Ptc protein family and identifies two subtypes distinguished by novel conserved domains. We used these results to pro...
متن کاملKinetic, energetic, and mechanical differences between dark-state rhodopsin and opsin.
Rhodopsin, the photoreceptor pigment of the retina, initiates vision upon photon capture by its covalently linked chromophore 11-cis-retinal. In the absence of light, the chromophore serves as an inverse agonist locking the receptor in the inactive dark state. In the absence of chromophore, the apoprotein opsin shows low-level constitutive activity. Toward revealing insight into receptor proper...
متن کاملPNAS Plus Significance Statements The structured core domain of αB-crystallin can prevent amyloid fibrillation and associated toxicity
We find that the core domain of the human molecular chaperone αBcrystallin can function effectively in preventing protein aggregation and amyloid toxicity. The core domain represents only half the total sequence of the protein, but it is one of the most potent known inhibitors of the aggregation of amyloid-β, a process implicated in Alzheimer’s disease. We have determined high-resolution struct...

متن کاملEvidence for cryptic speciation of Leucocytozoon spp. (Haemosporida, Leucocytozoidae) in diurnal raptors.
Species of Leucocytozoon (Haemosporida, Leucocytozoidae) traditionally have been described based on morphological characters of their blood stages and host cells, with limited information on their avian host specificity. Based on the current taxonomy, Leucocytozoon toddi is the sole valid species of leucocytozoids parasitizing falconiform birds. Using a nested polymerase chain reaction protocol...
