Carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L.) is an important flower crop, having substantial commercial value as a cut-flower due to the long vase-life and wide array of flower colors and forms. Standard carnation varieties perform well under cool climates but are very susceptible to high temperatures which adversely affect the yield and the quality of the cut-flowers. Despite several studies of carnat...

An in vivo assay for phospholipase D (PLD; EC 3.1.4.4) activity, based on its transphosphatidylation property, is described in detail and was used to study putative post-translational regulation mechanisms of PLD activity in carnation [Dianthus caryophyllus L.) petals. A variety of agents was applied to petal discs. The calmodulin (CaM) antagonists propranolol, /V-(6-aminohexyl)-5-chloro-1 -nap...

In the data accumulated by DELPHI during November 1995 LEP run at 130 GeV { 140 GeV, events with four fermions in the nal state have been selected. Final states l + l ? q q, q q, l + l ? and l + l ? l + l ? have been analyzed. Three events were found in agreement with expectations from Standard Model four-fermion processes of 2.3 0.14 events and two-fermion background of 0.76 0.15 events.
