We had previously shown that several transcription factors of the ethylene (ET) response factor (ERF) family were induced with different but overlapping kinetics following challenge of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) with Pseudomonas syringae pv tomato DC3000 (avrRpt2). One of these genes, a transcriptional activator, AtERF14, was induced at the same time as ERF-target genes (ChiB, basic chi...

The purpose of this paper, which was conducted on 175 children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy (H-CP), was to verify the etiological risk period for this disease. Etiological risk factors (ERF) were detected through anamnesis: 23% in the prenatal period, 18% in the perinatal period and 59% of the patients the period was undefined (ERF in the prenatal and perinatal period was 41% and no ERF was ...

Contrail cirrus has been emphasized as the largest individual component of aircraft climate impact, yet respective assessments have based mainly on conventional radiative forcing calculations. As demonstrated in previous research work, impact components can different efficacies, i.e., their effectiveness to induce surface temperature changes may vary. Effective (ERF) proposed a superior metric ...

Tobacco ETHYLENE-RESPONSIVE FACTOR3 (ERF3) is a member of the ERF-domain transcription factors and has a transcriptional repressor activity, whereas other ERF proteins show activation activity. To understand the regulation of ERF3-repressor activity, protein(s) were screened which interact with ERF3 in a yeast two-hybrid system. A partial sequence (B8) of NtUBC2, a tobacco ubiquitin-conjugating...

Abstract Background Rose ( Rosa chinensis ) is a traditional famous flower with valuable ornamental characteristics. However, drought stress restricts its growth and development, leading to an abnormal phenotype. One of the main transcription factor (TF) protein groups in plant kingdom are APETALA2/ethylene-responsive (AP2/ERF) proteins potentially involved responses various plants. Results Our...

and the Dutch Diabetes Foundation. Special thanks to the general practitioners and pharmacists in the Ommoord district for their contributions to the Rotterdam Study and to the general practitioners in the Erasmus Rucphen Family (ERF) region for their contributions to the ERF study. Erasmus University and the Departments of Epidemiology & Biostatistics and Clinical Genetics provided fi nancial ...

Self-expandable metallic stents (SEMS) insertion to the oesophagus is the method of choice in palliative treatment of malignant oesophago-respiratory fistulas (ERF). ERF evolve as a result of 0.2-5% of advanced oesopghageal or lung cancer. They also appear after radiotherapy. EFR are serious and lethal complications. SEMS insertion is an effective, safe, technically simple and minimally invasiv...

The primary visual cortex is organized into clusters of cells having similar classical receptive field (CRF) properties. Nonclassical, extra-receptive fields (ERFs) can either inhibit or facilitate the response elicited by stimulation within the CRF. Here, we report that in the primary visual cortex of cat, neurons with similar inhibitory or facilitatory ERF properties are also grouped into clu...

AP2/ERF transcription factors (TFs) play indispensable roles in plant growth, development, and especially various abiotic stresses responses. The TF family has been discovered classified more than 50 species. However, little is known about the gene of Chinese willow ( Salix matsudana ), which a tetraploid ornamental tree species that widely planted also considered as can improve soil salinity c...
