for all $a,b>0$, the following two optimal inequalities are presented: $h^{alpha}(a,b)l^{1-alpha}(a,b)geq m_{frac{1-4alpha}{3}}(a,b)$ for $alphain[frac{1}{4},1)$, and $ h^{alpha}(a,b)l^{1-alpha}(a,b)leq m_{frac{1-4alpha}{3}}(a,b)$ for $alphain(0,frac{3sqrt{5}-5}{40}]$. here, $h(a,b)$, $l(a,b)$, and $m_p(a,b)$ denote the harmonic, logarithmic, and power means of order $p$ of two positive numbers...

In order to generate a physical map of Arabidopsis thaliana chromosome 5, 142 molecular markers mapping chromosome 5 have been used in colony hybridization experiments with four Arabidopsis, ecotype Columbia, yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) libraries. This resulted in 634 YAC clones being anchored on chromosome 5. Southern blot analysis confirmed their positioning and provided data, which alo...

In this work, we present the generalization of some thermodynamic properties of the black body radiation (BBR) towards an n-dimensional Euclidean space. For this case, the Planck function and the Stefan–Boltzmann law have already been given by Landsberg and de Vos and some adjustments by Menon and Agrawal. However, since then, not much more has been done on this subject, and we believe there ar...

Intraspecific hybrids between the Arabidopsis thaliana accessions C24 and Landsberg erecta have strong heterosis. The reciprocal hybrids show a decreased level of 24-nt small RNA (sRNA) relative to the parents with the decrease greatest for those loci where the parents had markedly different 24-nt sRNA levels. The genomic regions with reduced 24-nt sRNA levels were largely associated with genes...

Despite much effort, a robust protocol for in vitro germination of Arabidopsis thaliana pollen has been elusive. Here we show that controlled temperatures, a largely disregarded factor in previous studies, and a simple optimized medium, solidified or liquid, yielded pollen germination rates above 80% and pollen tube lengths of hundreds of microns, with both Columbia and Landsberg erecta (Ler) e...

The SNPWave marker system, based on SNPs between the reference accessions Colombia-0 and Landsberg erecta (Ler), was used to distinguish a set of 92 Arabidopsis accessions from various parts of the world. In addition, we used these markers to genotype three new recombinant inbred line populations for Arabidopsis, having Ler as a common parent that was crossed with the accessions Antwerp-1, Kash...
