Oleaster-leafed pear (Pyrus elaeagrifolia Pall. subsp. elaeagrifolia) fruits are used for food and dietary supplements in Turkey, seedlings as rootstock cultivars. Information on the effect of genotypes oleaster-leafed fruit characteristics is needed order to optimize production quality supplements. The relative genetic background were evaluated from 16 wild grown at eastern Turkey. Genotype in...

Eukaryotic genomes are partitioned into active and inactive domains called euchromatin and heterochromatin, respectively. In Neurospora crassa, heterochromatin formation requires methylation of histone H3 at lysine 9 (H3K9) by the SET domain protein DIM-5. Heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1) reads this mark and directly recruits the DNA methyltransferase, DIM-2. An ectopic H3 gene carrying a substi...

Research suggests a two factor structure for negative symptoms in patients with psychotic disorders: social amotivation (SA) and expressive deficits (ED). Applying this two-factor structure in clinical settings may provide valuable information with regard to outcomes and to target treatments. We aimed to investigate 1) whether the factor structure is also supported in chronically ill patients w...

Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)) is an important neurotransmitter that regulates multiple events in the central nervous system. Many of the 5-HT functions are mediated via G protein-coupled receptors that are coupled to multiple heterotrimeric G proteins, including G(s), G(i), and G(q) subfamilies (Martin, G. R., Eglen, R. M., Hamblin, M. W., Hoyer, D., and Yocca, F. (1998) Trends Pharmac...

Our earlier studies of rat brain phospholipase D1 (rPLD1) showed that the enzyme could be activated in cells by alpha subunits of the heterotrimeric G proteins G(13) and G(q). Recently, we showed that rPLD1 is modified by Ser/Thr phosphorylation and palmitoylation. In this study, we first investigated the roles of these post-translational modifications on the activation of rPLD1 by constitutive...

Cowpea exhibits significantly inconsistent performances across different environments, and hence demands performance evaluation of genotypes prior release or cultivation in every breeding program. Hence, the goal this study was to compare 16 cowpea over six planting seasons (2014-2019) Akungba-Akoko, Nigeria for their stability adaptation through Finlay Wilkinson (FW), Additive Main Effects Mul...

We report the detection of outflowing molecular gas in center nearby (z=0.014) massive radio galaxy NGC6328. The core galaxy, PKS B1718-649, is identified as a Gigahertz Peaked Spectrum source with compact (2 pc) double lobe morphology. used ALMA CO(2-1) and CO(3-2) observations at 100 pc resolution to study kinematics up ~5 kpc from center. While bulk settled highly warped disk, inner 300 disk...
