BACKGROUND AND AIMS Leaf gas exchange is influenced by stomatal size, density, distribution between the leaf adaxial and abaxial sides, as well as by pore dimensions. This study aims to quantify which of these traits mainly underlie genetic differences in operating stomatal conductance (gs) and addresses possible links between anatomical traits and regulation of pore width. METHODS Stomatal r...

To determine the role of grazing on CO2 fluxes in a desert steppe, we used paired eddy-covariance systems to measure the net ecosystem exchange (NEE) and microclimate on adjacent pastures of grazed (GS) and ungrazed (FS) steppes on the Mongolian Plateau from 2010 to 2011. The first year was an average precipitation year, while the second year was a dry year. In 2010, there was 91% greater growi...

We report the 3.3-Mb draft genome of Laceyella sacchari strain GS 1-1, isolated from hot spring water sample, Chumathang, Leh, India. Draft genome of strain GS 1-1 consists of 3, 324, 316 bp with a G + C content of 48.8% and 3429 predicted protein coding genes and 75 RNAs. Geobacillus thermodenitrificans strain NG80-2, Geobacillus kaustophilus strain HTA426 and Geobacillus sp. Strain G11MC16 ar...

BACKGROUND Apple allergy manifests as two main groups of clinical entities reflecting different patterns of allergen sensitization: oral allergy syndrome (OAS) and generalized symptoms (GS). OBJECTIVE We analysed the sensitization profile to a wide panel of different components of food allergens (rMal d 1, Mal d 2, rMal d 3, rMal d 4, rPru p 3, rBet v 1 and Pho d 2) for a population of Medite...

4-Dimethylaminophenol (DMAP) is a suitable cyanide antidote that rapidly forms ferrihemoglobin by catalytic transfer of electrons from ferrohemoglobin to oxygen. Deleterious methemoglobinemia, because of the catalytic cycling, is prevented by side reactions of oxidized DMAP with thiols, particularly with glutathione (GSH). In human red cells, both in vitro and in vivo, the formation of a transi...

PURPOSE Several studies have reported upgrading of patients with Gleason score (GS) at the time of prostate biopsy to GS following radical prostatectomy (RP). We reviewed the predictive accuracy of extended 14-core prostate biopsies, in terms of GS and tumor location in patients with prostate cancer (PCa) treated by RP. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 163 patients who underwent RP for cli...

Training and mentorlng Graduate Student Instructors (GS Instructors) at large institutions presents three challenges to instructional developers: 1) training numerous GSInstructors from multipledepartments. 2) the vastarray ofduties GS Instructors needtrainingin. and3) thecontinualsophistication ofGS Instructors.

We have obtained differential time series photometry of the cataclysmic variable GS Pavonis over a timespan of 2 years. These show that this system is deeply eclipsing (∼2– 3.5 mag) with an orbital period of 3.72 hr. The eclipse depth and out-of-eclipse light levels are correlated. From this correlation we deduce that the disk radius is changing and that the eclipses in the low state are total....
