Membrane-membrane interactions between axons and Schwann cells are required for initial myelin formation in the peripheral nervous system. However, recent studies of double myelination in sympathetic nerve have indicated that myelin sheaths continue to exist after complete loss of axonal contact (Kidd, G. J., and J. W. Heath. 1988. J. Neurocytol. 17:245-261). This suggests that myelin maintenan...

Almost 90 years ago, Lillie reported that rapid saltatory conduction arose in an iron wire model of nerve impulse propagation when he covered the wire with insulating sections of glass tubing equivalent to myelinated internodes. This led to his suggestion of a similar mechanism explaining rapid conduction in myelinated nerve. In both their evolution and their development, myelinating axons must...

Sorghum is an important C4 grain and grass crop used for food, feed, forage, sugar, and biofuels. In its native Africa, sorghum landraces often grow to approximately 3-4 meters in height. Following introduction into the U.S., shorter, early flowering varieties were identified and used for production of grain. Quinby and Karper identified allelic variation at four loci designated Dw1-Dw4 that re...

Abstract Kernels of sweet maize are directly consumed by humans. This high value crop is grown in arid and semi-arid regions western Jilin Province, China where trickle irrigation widely used larvae the corn borer, Ostrinia furnacalis Guenée (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), can cause significant kernel damage. Low humidity less conducive to efficacy biological control agent, Beauveria bassiana (Balsam...

The present investigation entitled “Effect of plant growth regulators Gibberellic Acid (GA3) and Salicylic (SA) on the yield carnation under naturally ventilated polyhouse”, was carried out during November, 2021 to April 2022 in, Naturally Ventilated Polyhouse, Department Horticulture, Naini Agricultural Institute, SHUATS, it concluded that treatments rendered their significant effect almost al...

Axonal contact plays a critical role in initiating myelin formation by Schwann cells. However, recent studies of “double myelination” have indicated that myelin maintenance continues in Schwann cells completely displaced from physical contact with the axon. This raises the possibility either that diffusible trophic factors are produced by the axon, or that the axon is not required for myelin ma...

Lignin is a complex polyphenolic heteropolymer that is abundant in the secondary cell walls of plants and functions in growth and defence. It is also a major barrier to the deconstruction of plant biomass for bioenergy production, but the spatiotemporal details of how lignin is deposited in actively lignifying tissues and the precise relationships between wall lignification in different cell ty...
