Iron (Fe) from rice grains is an important source of dietary intake; however, the molecular mechanisms responsible for loading Fe to are poorly understood. We functionally characterized a vacuolar iron transporter gene, OsVIT2 in terms expression pattern, cellular localization, and mutant phenotypes. was expressed parenchyma cell bridges nodes, mestome sheath leaf aleurone caryopsis. Mutation r...

Bundle sheath chloroplasts have been isolated from Zea mays leaves by a procedure involving enzymic digestion of mechanically prepared strands of bundle sheath cells followed by gentle breakage and filtration. The resulting crude chloroplast preparation was enriched by Percoll density layer centrifugation to yield intact chloroplasts (about 20 micrograms chlorophyll per 10-gram leaf tissue) wit...

INTRODUCTION Since the National Lung Screening Trial demonstrated the utility of low-dose computed tomography screening for lung cancer, the detection rate of ground-glass nodules (GGNs) has increased. Endobronchial ultrasound with a guide sheath (EBUS-GS) is widely performed to diagnose peripheral pulmonary lesions, but there are not enough reports on the predictive ability of EBUS-GS in diagn...

The addition of Kr dopant to a deuterium or deuterium–tritium dense plasma focus (DPF) is conventionally thought enhance radiative cooling the imploding sheath, resulting in tighter pinch and, under optimized conditions, increased neutron yield [M. Krishnan, IEEE Trans. Plasma Sci. 40, 3189 (2012)]. In this work, 2D radiation magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations are conducted DPF at peak curre...

Electromagnetic plasma waves in the ion cyclotron range of frequencies (ICRF) are routinely used in magnetic fusion experiments to heat plasmas and drive currents. However, many experiments have revealed that wave energy losses in the plasma edge and at the wall are significant, and detected that the acceleration of ions into the walls due to the formation of radio-frequency (RF) sheaths is one...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) and other autoimmune diseases result from the dysregulation of genetic and proteomic programs. In MS, the loss of immune homeostasis leads to aberrant targeting and destruction of the myelin sheath, which manifests as the clinical syndrome of MS. The advent of technologies to perform large-scale analysis of mRNA transcript and protein expression will transform our unders...
