were handsome brown ones guarded by the longest and blackest of curly lashes. (These lashes, Jack informed us, he bought in New York.) His cheeks were radiant with bright color and his white skin was of very fine texture. His dark hair was coarse and straight. During the year that Jack attended Dr. Vfitmer's school, he practically never entered upon any spontaneous activity. His muscles seemed ...

Over half of global food waste occurs in retail and households, highlighting the importance improving shelf life. Many factors affect life, including storage temperature, harvest time, processing method, packaging. Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), such as nitrogen (N 2 ), has been used to improve life produce. This study aimed determine effect nitrogen-enriched on greenhouse- garden-grown k...

Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) RN.4 and TMV coat protein were reconstitut,ed in the presence of an excess of host RNA or turnip yellow mosaic virus (TYMV) RNA. TMV protein and its homologous RNA recognized each other specifically in the presence of an excess of host RNA, but when TMV RNA and TYMV RNA were mixed with protein, both RNAs were encapsidated. Indeed, at pH 6, TYMV RNA was recognized by T...

Comparison of the symptoms caused by turnip crinkle virus strain M (TCV-M) and TCV-B infection of a resistant Arabidopsis thaliana line termed Di-17 demonstrates that TCV-B has a greater ability to spread in planta. This ability is due to a single amino acid change in the viral movement protein p8 and inversely correlates with p8 RNA binding affinity.

The complete genome sequence of an Australian isolate of Turnip mosaic virus was determined by Sanger sequencing. After seven years of serial passaging by mechanical inoculation, the isolate was resequenced by RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq). Eighteen single nucleotide polymorphisms were identified between the isolates. Both isolates had 96% identity to isolate AUST10.

Plant microRNAs (miRNAs) regulate the abundance of target mRNAs by guiding their cleavage at the sequence complementary region. We have modified an Arabidopsis thaliana miR159 precursor to express artificial miRNAs (amiRNAs) targeting viral mRNA sequences encoding two gene silencing suppressors, P69 of turnip yellow mosaic virus (TYMV) and HC-Pro of turnip mosaic virus (TuMV). Production of the...
