Abstract A total of 24 oat genotypes were evaluated across 9 environments using a randomized complete block design with 3 replications. The combined analysis variance indicated that grain yield was significantly affected by genotype, environment, and genotype environment interaction (GEI). environment's main effect explained 44.62% the variation, whereas GEI captured 28.84% 26.54%, respectively...

The conformations of aminoacyl- and deacylated tRNA Phe (yeast) have been compared by using the steroid progesterone and the tetranucleotides U-C-C-C and C-G-A-A as probes of transfer RNA ordered structure. U-C-C-C is complementary to G18-G19-G20-A21 in the dihydrouridine loop and C-G-A-A is complementary to T54-psi55-C56-G57 in the ribosylthymine loop. None of the probes bound to deacylated tR...

The Basel 2 Accord requires regulatory capital to cover stress tests, yet no coherent and objective framework for stress testing portfolios exists. We propose a new methodology for stress testing in the context of market risk models that can incorporate both volatility clustering and heavy tails. Empirical results compare the performance of eight risk models with four possible conditional and u...

Biogenesis of β-barrel membrane proteins is a complex, multistep, and as yet incompletely characterized process. The bacterial porin family is perhaps the best-studied protein family among β-barrel membrane proteins that allows diffusion of small solutes across the bacterial outer membrane. In this study, we have identified residues that contribute significantly to the protein-protein interacti...

The aim of this study was to develop selectively fermented (prebiotic) carbohydrate molecules which would also result in the generation of butyric acid. Gluco-oligosaccharides produced by Gluconobacter oxydans NCIMB 4943 from various types of maltodextrins were evaluated for their fermentation by mixed cultures of human colonic microflora. The selectivity of growth of desirable bacteria (bifido...

The molecular interactions between valyl-tRNA synthetase (ValRS) and tRNA(Val), with the C34-A35-C36 anticodon, from Thermus thermophilus were studied by crystallographic analysis and structure-based mutagenesis. In the ValRS-bound structure of tRNA(Val), the successive A35-C36 residues (the major identity elements) of tRNA(Val) are base-stacked upon each other, and fit into a pocket on the alp...

Selection (28 generations, G) in a Large White-Landrace composite population for traits aimed at increasing live pigs born per litter (BA), with additional selection for increased 180-d weight (WT180) and longissimus muscle area (LMA) and decreased back fat (BF10) in the last 8 generations, was practiced. Objectives herein were to estimate genetic and phenotypic responses and genetic parameters...
