Abiotic chemical signals discovered in smoke that are known as karrikins (KARs) and the endogenous hormone strigolactone (SL) control plant growth through a shared MORE AXILLARY GROWTH2 (MAX2)-dependent pathway. A SL biosynthetic pathway and candidate KAR/SL receptors have been characterized, but signaling downstream of MAX2 is poorly defined. A screen for genetic suppressors of the enhanced se...

The International Biological Programme has as one of its objectives the study of man's adaptation to his environment. With this in view the Australian Government, the Australian Academy of Science, and the Royal Society of England combined in a multi-disciplinary study of the population of Kar Kar Island, New Guinea. The organization of the projects studied and the field work were under the dir...

Fatty acids (FAs) are diverse molecules, and such diversity is important for lipids to exert their functions under several environmental conditions. FA elongation occurs at the endoplasmic reticulum and produces a variety of FA species; the FA elongation cycle consists of four distinct enzyme reactions. For this cycle to be driven efficiently, there must exist coordinated regulation of protein ...

Kainate-type glutamate ionotropic receptors (KAR) mediate either depression or potentiation of inhibitory transmission. The mechanisms underlying the depressant effect of KAR agonists have been controversial. Under dual patch-clamp recording techniques in synaptically coupled pairs of CA1 interneurons and pyramidal neurons in hippocampal slices, micromolar concentrations of KAR agonists, kainic...

Herb-drug interactions are an important safety concern and this study was conducted regarding the interaction between the natural top-selling antidepressant remedy Hypericum perforatum (Hypericaceae) and conventional drugs. This study examined the influence of acute pretreatment with different extracts of Hypericum perforatum from Serbia on pentobarbital-induced sleeping time, impairment of mot...

The ultrafast laser inscription technique has been used to fabricate channel waveguides in Tm-doped Lu2O3 ceramic gain medium for the first time to our knowledge. Laser operation has been demonstrated using a monolithic microchip cavity with a continuous-wave Ti:sapphire pump source at 796 nm. The maximum output power achieved from the Tm:Lu2O3 waveguide laser was 81 mW at 1942 nm. A maximum sl...
