Magnetostratigraphic chronologies, together with sedimentological, petrological, seismic and borehole data derived from the Oligo/Miocene Lower Freshwater Molasse Group of the North Alpine foreland basin enable a detailed reconstruction of alluvial architecture in relation to Alpine orogenic events. Six depositional systems are recorded in the Lower Freshwater Molasse Group. The bajada depositi...

Genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) has been widely used to detect rye (Secale cereale L.) chromosomes in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) introgression lines. The routine procedure of GISH using genomic DNA of rye as a probe is time-consuming and labor-intensive because of the preparation and labeling of genomic DNA of rye and denaturing of chromosomes and probes. In this study, new oligonucleoti...

BACKGROUND Chromosomal rearrangements induced by wheat-rye hybridization is a very well investigated research topic. However, the structural alterations of wheat chromosomes in wheat-rye hybrids are seldom reported. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Octoploid triticale lines were derived from common wheat Triticum. aestivum L. 'Mianyang11'×rye Secale cereale L. 'Kustro'. Some progeny were obtain...

Fluorescein-labeled oligodeoxynucleotides (oligos) were introduced into cultured rat myoblasts, and their molecular movements inside the nucleus were studied by fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) and fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP). FCS revealed that a large fraction of both intranuclear oligo(dT) (43%) and oligo(dA) (77%) moves rapidly with a diffusion coefficient of...

Several studies have reported the efficacy of local therapies for lung cancer patients with postoperative oligo-recurrence. However, preference ablative over specific tyrosine-kinase inhibitors oligo-recurrence driver mutations remains controversial. We aimed to investigate optimal initial treatment strategy in mutations. Among 2,159 adenocarcinoma who underwent surgical resection at our instit...

The formation of reovirus double-stranded (ds) RNA and of oligo adenylic acid (oligo A) is inhibited by 5 mug of actinomycin D per ml added at the time of viral infection. Viral proteins are synthesized and assembled into dsRNA-deficient particles under these conditions. The addition of cycloheximide to infected cells during the mid-logarithmic phase of viral replication terminates protein and ...

The Maltese archipelago, occupying an area of c.316 km and situated in the central Mediterranean, consists of the inhabited islands of Malta and Gozo and a number of uninhabited islets and rocks. The islands are composed mainly of limestones of Oligo-Miocene age. Soils are young, show little horizon development, and are very similar to the parent rocks. There are no mountains, streams or lakes,...
