The objectives of this study were to determine the effect of light enhancement and hastened reproductive development on nitrogen and dry matter accumulation by field-grown soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.). The impacts of photosynthate supply and reproductive development on change in the season-long profiles of in vivo leaf nitrate reductase (NR) activity and root nodule acetylene reduction (AR)...

Key inbred lines have played a fundamental role in maize genetics and breeding. Research on variation characteristics of key genes from key inbred lines and from derived lines is important for early identification and evaluation of inbred maize lines. The nitrate reductase (NR) gene, which plays a central role in nitrate acquisition, was the target gene for this research. Forty-one inbred maize...

BACKGROUND Neutropenia recovery (NR) has been associated with worsening preexisting lung injury in up to 50% of critically ill cancer patients. However, only limited relevant data exist in the general population of hematological patients. OBJECTIVES To assess the incidence of acute respiratory deterioration during NR in patients with hematological malignancies. METHODS Adult patients with n...

Three new species of Sesioctonus (Braconidae: Agathidinae) are described and illustrated, i.e., Sesioctonus huggerti, Sesioctonus wayquecha, and Sesioctonus bina. Two new Peruvian species records for Sesioctonus are reported: Sesioctonus longinoi and Sesioctonus diazi. A revised key to all known species of Sesioctonus is presented.

Let BG be a classifying variety for an exceptional simple algebraic group G. We compute the degree 3 unramified Galois cohomology of BG with values in (Q/Z)′(2) over a nearly arbitrary field F . Combined with a paper by Merkurjev, this completes the computation of these cohomology groups for G semisimple simply connected over (nearly) all fields. Let G be an algebraic group over a field F with ...

Complexes [Ce(NR(2))(3)] (1) or [Ce(NR''(2))(3)] (2) were cerium(III) precursors to the X-ray characterised crystalline oligomeric oxygen-containing amidocerium(IV) compounds [{Ce(NR(2))(2)(mu-O)}(n)] (3, n = 2; 4, n = 3), [{Ce(NR''(2))(2)(mu-O)}(4)] (5), [{(R(2)N)(3)Ce}(2)(mu-[upper bond 1 start]OMOM[upper bond 1 end])] (6, M = Na; 7, M = K), [{(R(2)N)(3)CeOCe(NR(2))(2)}(2)(mu-[upper bond 1 st...

Based on the Randic suggestion of the resolution of a structure into shape, size, and function an index representing structure-catabolic fate relationships of amino acids is constructed. The index obtained by multiplying three factors; (nb2 + nr), nc and M; representing shape, size and function respectively, where nb2 = number of double bonds, nr = number of rings, nc = number of carbon atoms, ...

Medulloepithelioma is a rare congenital tumor of the ciliary body and iris. The current classification and grading of medulloepithelioma shows inconsistencies and does not reflect clinical behavior. This position paper discusses the backgrounds of the current classification and intends to initiate a discussion on an alternative classification and grading scheme. © 2016 The Author(s) Published b...

Nitrate reductase (NR; EC 1.6.6.1) activity increased at the beginning of the photoperiod in mature green maize (Zea mays L.) leaves as a result of increased enzyme protein level and protein dephosphorylation. In vitro experiments suggested that phosphorylation of maize leaf NR affected sensitivity to Mg2+ inhibition, as shown previously in spinach. When excised leaves were fed 32P-labeled inor...
