Myelination of axons is a prerequisite for the rapid propagation of nerve impulses, and thus for the proper functioning of the nervous system. Phenotypic analysis of genetically engineered mice has provided evidence that cell adhesion molecules are critically involved in the interaction of myelin-forming glial cells with axons, the formation of regularly spaced myelin internodes along axons and...

In the baboon, acrylamide produces a clinical illness characterized by weakness and ataxia of the limbs, weakness of bulbar muscles, and finally tetraplegia. Histological examination shows extensive involvement of peripheral nerves, the main histological change being a Wallerian type of degeneration affecting the distal ends of the largest diameter nerve fibres. The phenomenon of `dying back' h...

Aim. Evaluation of the role different internodes and leaf sheaths winter wheat stem in storage remobilization reserve water-soluble carbohydrates (WSC) under natural water deficit order to develop effective criteria for selection high-yielding genotypes. Methods. The specific content total amount WSC at onset end grain filling quantity remobilized parts were determined. Results. It was found th...

Abstract Five bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars including Kavir, Pishtaz, Niknejad, Omid and Roshan were evaluated in a split plot experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications. Water stress and well-watered conditions were assigned to the main plots and varieties to the subplots. Water stress was imposed by withholding irrigation at the booting stage....

Property characterization of Chusquea culeou Desv. (colihue), a bamboo growing in Chile, was conducted. Physical, chemical and mechanical properties were determined as a function of plant diameter, position in culm length and nodal or internodal sections. The results show that fi bre length increased from the base to the top of the culms. Differences in the fi bre length between nodes and inter...

Aim. The goal of this work was to study the effect drought in critical phase ontogenesis on growth and productivity breed winter wheat plants (Triticum aestivum L.). Methods. Wheat cultivars Darunok Podillya Podolyanka were grown under optimal nutrition well-water conditions until earing-flowering phase, after that experimental transferred regime for 8 days, water supply restored end vegetation...

Gibberellic acid increases the level of RNA polymerase associated with chromatin isolated from expanding internodes of light-grown, dwarf pea plants (Pisum sativum L.), without a detectable increase in the amount of DNA template available.

Schwann cells are recognized by their capacity of producing single internodes of myelin around axons of the peripheral nervous system. In the ethidium bromide (EB) model of primary demyelination in the brainstem, it is observed the entry of Schwann cells into the central nervous system in order to contribute to the myelin repair performed by the oligodendrocytes that survived to the EB gliotoxi...
