an ex-situ experiment to assess the metal extractive potential of fourteen agriculture plants (vigna unguiculata, gossypium hirsutum, jatropha curcas, etc.) was conducted on magnesite mines which had above permissible levels of cadmium and lead. there was no much difference in the total chlorophyll a and b, carbohydrate and protein contents in the plants grown in the mining soil and adjacent co...

Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) are thought to contribute to viral clearance and liver cell injury during hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Using a strategy involving the in vitro stimulation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) with HBV-derived synthetic peptides containing HLA-A2.1, -A31, and -Aw68 binding motifs, we have previously described CTL responses to several epitopes within th...

A method has been described for isolating separately the envelope and thylakoids of chloroplasts. The method makes use of the fact that gentle swelling of intact chloroplasts causes breakage and total detachment of the envelope. The envelope was purified by a sucrose density gradient procedure. The thylakoids and the envelope appeared to be very different in structure. All the activities associ...

The nuclear envelope is the hallmark of all eukaryotic cells, separating the nucleoplasm from the cytoplasm. At the same time, the nuclear envelope allows for the controlled exchange of macromolecules between the two compartments through nuclear pores and presents a surface for anchoring and organizing cytoskeletal components and chromatin. Although our molecular understanding of the nuclear en...

In eukaryotes, chromosomes are encased by a dynamic nuclear envelope. In contrast to metazoans, where the nuclear envelope disassembles during mitosis, many fungi including budding yeast undergo "closed mitosis," where the nuclear envelope remains intact throughout the cell cycle. Consequently, during closed mitosis the nuclear envelope must expand to accommodate chromosome segregation to the t...

Context. While Jupiter’s massive gas envelope consists mainly of hydrogen and helium, the key to understanding formation evolution lies in distribution remaining (heavy) elements. Before Juno mission, lack high-precision gravity harmonics precluded use statistical analyses a robust determination heavy-element envelope. Aims. In this paper, we assemble most comprehensive diverse collection Jupit...
