crops that better tolerate weed competition or preempt resources from weeds may reduce dependence on herbicides and benefit an integrated weed management program. a field trail was conducted to determine the morphophysiological characteristics affecting tolerance and weed suppressive ability of some winter wheat cultivars in competition with rocket. the experimental treatments consisted of eigh...

Most transcription factors specify the subset of genes that will be actively transcribed in the cell by stimulating transcription initiation at these genes, but MYC has a fundamentally different role. MYC binds E-box sites in the promoters of active genes and stimulates recruitment of the elongation factor P-TEFb and thus transcription elongation. Consequently, rather than specifying the set of...

Two structures on the distal ends of Chlamydomonas flagellar microtubules are described. One of these, the central microtubule cap, attaches the distal ends of the central pair microtubules to the tip of the flagellar membrane. In addition, filaments, called distal filaments, are observed attached to the ends of the Atubules of the outer doublet microtubules. Inasmuch as earlier studies suggest...

this study was conducted to investigate the hair production and fleece characteristics of hairy goats according to the sex and age of animals. the material of the study consisted one total data of 73 hair goats, which were between more than one year-old and one year-old lori goats from both sexes (26 males and 47 females). the overall fleece weight, fiber length, lock length, washing yield, hai...

The mechanochemical kinetics of transcription elongation was examined with a combination of theoretical and experimental approaches. The predictive power of a sequence-dependent thermal ratchet model for transcription elongation was tested by establishing model parameters based solely on measurements under chemical perturbations and then directly predicting responses under mechanical perturbati...
