Because of the high genetic variability of the nuclear-encoded ribosomal RNA genes within single spores of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF, Glomeromycota), new alternative marker genes are needed to better resolve closely related taxa. Based on published nucleotide sequences of the mitochondrial large ribosomal subunit (mt-LSU), new fungal-specific primers were constructed and successfully us...

The northwestern part of the Kerman Cenozoic magmatic arc (KCMA) contains many areas with porphyry copper mineralization. In this research, we used the advanced space-borne thermal emission and reflection radiometer (ASTER) and Enhanced Thematic Mapper plus (ETM+) images of this region to map the distribution of hydrothermally altered rocks, based on their mineral assemblages. The spectral meas...

In Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, a light-induced oxidative stress shifts the glutathione pool toward its oxidized form, resulting in a translational arrest of the large subunit (LSU) of Rubisco. We show here that the translational arrest of LSU is tightly coordinated with cessation of Rubisco assembly, and both processes take place after a threshold level of reactive oxygen species is reached. As ...

Phylogenetic relationships among members of the antrodia clade were investigated with molecular data from two nuclear ribosomal DNA regions, LSU and ITS. A total of 123 species representing 26 genera producing a brown rot were included in the present study. Three DNA datasets (combined LSU-ITS dataset, LSU dataset, ITS dataset) comprising sequences of 449 isolates were evaluated with three diff...

Due to the complexity of today’s micro-architectures, the micro-architectural analysis usually constitutes the most time-consuming step in worst-case execution time (WCET) analysis. In this paper, we investigate the influence of the design of the load-store unit (LSU) in the PowerPC 7448 on WCET analysis. To this end, we introduce a simplified variant of the existing design of the LSU by reduci...

A new genus in the Cantharellaceae, Afrocantharellus, is recognized based on results from phylogenetic analyses of rDNA LSU and concatenated LSU/5.8-ITS2/ATP6 data. It was previously recognized as a subgenus, but comprehensive fieldwork and the acquisition of numerous sequences for previously neglected African Cantharellus species formed the basis for a reappraisal of generic and species delimi...
