Abstract Background APETALA2/ethylene responsive factor (AP2/ERF) transcription factors are a plant-specific family of and one the largest families factors. Ethylene response (ERF) regulate plant growth, development, responses to biotic abiotic stress. In previous study, ERF2 gene was significantly upregulated in both resistant susceptible tomato cultivars Stemphylium lycopersici . The main pur...

BACKGROUND Evidence of 24-months survival in the frame of prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) cascade-care is scare from routine programs in sub-Saharan African (SSA) settings. Specifically, data on infant outcomes according to feeding options remain largely unknown by month-24, thus limiting its breath for public-health recommendations toward eliminating new pediatric HIV-1 infe...

Abstract We derive a new analytic representation of the error function $${\text {erf}}\,\, z$$ erf z in form convergent series whose terms are exponential and rational functions. The expansion holds uniformly z double sector $$\vert \arg (\pm z)\ver...

In Arabidopsis, the MYC2-family basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors mediate transcriptional regulation of jasmonate-responsive genes, and their transcriptional activities are suppressed by physical interactions with jasmonate-ZIM domain (JAZ) proteins. Jasmonate-inducible nicotine formation in Nicotiana plants has been shown to be suppressed by tobacco JAZ proteins, and be regulated by...

The majority (217/325, 66%) of the neurons in the middle temporal (MT) area/V5 show strong antagonistic surrounds, defined here by a decrease of at least 50% in the summation curve. We mapped the antagonistic surround in 145 such cells, using eight circularly distributed surround stimulus patches (Surround Asymmetry Test, SAT) and also mapped the surround in 51 of these 145 cells using a grid c...

Regulation of the expression of nuclear genes encoding chloroplast proteins allows for metabolic adjustment in response to changing environmental conditions. This regulation is linked to retrograde signals that transmit information on the metabolic state of the chloroplast to the nucleus. Transcripts of several APETALA2/ETHYLENE RESPONSE FACTOR transcription factors (AP2/ERF-TFs) were found to ...

The main objective of this article is to present the semi-active vibration control using an electro-rheological fluid embedded sandwich structure for a cantilever beam. ER fluid is a smart material, which cause the suspended particles polarize and connect each other to form chain. The stiffness and damping coefficients of the ER fluid can be changed in 10 micro seconds; therefore, ERF is suitab...

The APETALA 2/Ethylene-responsive element binding factor (AP2/ERF) transcription factor gene family is widely involved in the biotic and abiotic stress regulation. Haynaldia villosa (VV, 2n = 14), a wild species of wheat, is a potential gene pool for wheat improvement. H. villosa confers high resistance to several wheat diseases and high tolerance to some abiotic stress. In this study, ERF1-V, ...
