Xylanase (EIX) from the fungus Trichoderma viride elicits ethylene biosynthesis in leaf tissues of Nicotiana tabacum cv Xanthi but not in cv Hicks. The increase in ethylene biosynthesis is accompanied by an accumulation of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC), an increase in extractable ACC synthase activity, and increases in ACC synthase and ACC oxidase transcripts. Priming of leaves wi...

Purpose: The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) has been suggested to be involved in chronic subjective tinnitus. Tinnitus may arise from aberrant functional coupling between the ACC and cerebral cortex. To explore this hypothesis, we used resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to illuminate the functional connectivity (FC) network of the ACC subregions in chronic tinnitus pati...

Introduction: One of the vital skills which has an impact on emotional health and well-being is the regulation of emotions. In recent years, the neural basis of this process has been considered widely. One of the powerful tools for eliciting and regulating emotion is music. The Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC) is part of the emotional neural circuitry involved in Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)....

Aggregates. For aggregates, we build on ideas in (Pelov 2004). We only consider decomposable aggregate functions, i.e., aggregates for which agg(S) = agg({agg(S′), agg(S \S′)}), for sets of domain elements S and S′ ⊂ S. Our transformation of agg({x ∈ T : φ : t}) is based on the decomposability of the considered aggregates and the fact that there is a total order on all domain elements, with a f...

In order to choose the best action for maximizing fitness, mammals can estimate the reward expectations (value) linked to available actions based on past environmental outcomes. Value updates are performed by comparing the current value with the actual environmental outcomes (prediction error). The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) has been shown to be critically involved in the computation of va...

abstract the aim of the present research was to isolate plant growth promoting rhizobacteria producing acc deaminase which was able to alleviate negative effects of salinity on plant growth. 21 composite soil samples and canola roots were collected from the saline and relatively saline soils of qom and qazvin provinces. 105 strains were selected from the soil rhizosphere of canola. according to...

Background: Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) constitutes about 4% of salivary epithelial tumors and is the second common malignant epithelial salivary gland tumor involving both the major and minor salivary glands. Aims of the study is to evaluate immunohistochemical expression of Ki67 and p53 proteins in ACC. Materials and Methods: immunohistochemical analyses of fifteen cases of formalin – fixe...
