In Escherichia coli, several systems are known to transport glucose into the cytoplasm. The main glucose uptake system under batch conditions is the glucose phosphoenolpyruvate:carbohydrate phosphotransferase system (glucose PTS), but the mannose PTS and the galactose and maltose transporters also can translocate glucose. Mutant strains which lack the enzyme IIBC (EIIBC) protein of the glucose...

The second messenger hydrogen peroxide transduces changes in the cellular redox state by reversibly oxidizing protein cysteine residues to sulfenic acid. This signaling event regulates many cellular processes but has never been shown to occur in the brain. Here, we report that hydrogen peroxide heightens endocannabinoid signaling in brain neurons through sulfenylation of cysteines C201 and C208...

field trials with dizigotheeca elegantissima were conducted at the experimental farm of faculty of agriculture, azad university  jiroft  in growth seasons of 2012 year. the aim of this work was to study the effect of foliar application of gibberellic acid [ga3] and benzyladenine [ba] at 0, 50, 100 and 150 mgl-1 on the vegetative growth and photosynthetic pigments of d. elegantissima plants. mos...

The objective of this study was to investigate the propensity of permethrin (PTN) to induce oxidative stress and changes in enzyme activities in liver of rainbow trout and its possible attenuation by vitamin C. Forty-eight fish were randomly assigned to 1 of 6 treatment groups and their livers were used for liver perfusion method: control (0 μgL-1 permethrin and 0 mgL-1 vitamin C), PTN-0.16 (0....

abstract gerbera is one of the most demanded plants in commercial cut flowers plants. optimizing the micro-propagation of new cultivars is therefore important. in this research “red explosion” cultivar was used and capitola (as explants) were directed to a modified solid murashigue and skoog medium with four concentration of tdz (0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.00 mgl-1) for regeneration. three concentr...

  The acute toxicity and effects of diazinon on some haematological parameters of kutum (Rutilus frisii kutum, Kamensky, 1901) weighing 613.33 ± 157.06 g were studied under static water quality conditions at 15 °C ± 2 ºC. These experiments were carried out based on the standard TRC, 1984 method over 4 days, and controlled for the effective water physicochemical factors having pH rangesof 7-8.2,...

an efficient method for producing doubled haploid plants of date palm ( phoenix dactylifera l.) was established using in vitro colchicine treatment of anthers. to this study male inflorescences were harvested in the appropriate developmental stage. separated anthers after one day cold (4°c) pretreatment, in uninucleate stage of microspore were transferred to the modified y 3 medium containing d...

To improve Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of tobacco, factors influencing gene delivery, including genotype of the plant, bacterial strain, and Agrobacterium transformation procedure, were tested via direct somatic embryogenesis. Leaf tissue of three different tobacco genotypes (Nicotiana tabacum L. cvs. Samsun, and Xanthi, and N. benthamiana) we...

conclusion st-vab and mgl-eb are reliable biopsy methods for microcalcifications. in proper indications, breast microcalcifications could be obtained by each method without missing diagnosis of breast cancer. objectives to evaluate the outcome of st-vab and mammography-guided localization and excisional biopsy (mgl-eb) for microcalcifications. patients and methods two radiologists retrospective...
