A simple method was developed for extracting total RNA from a single mature wheat seed embryo, which is very small and hard. Guanidine thiocyanate and chloroform were employed and the grinding of the samples was performed in a microcentrifuge tube with a plastic pestle. A “jacket” of liquid nitrogen and simplified procedures were applied to ensure the thorough grinding of the embryo tissue and ...

A highly specific and rapid assay for hormone-sensitive lipase activity of rat adipose tissue is described. The method employs emulsified 2,3-di-O-oleyl-[9,10-(3)H(2)]oleoyl glycerol as a substrate; it is very sensitive and is suitable for serial sampling.

non-destructive ultrasonic testing is one of the methods utilized to evaluate quality of agricultural produce. transducers used in this method are made for basically industrial applications. since ultrasonic attenuation of waves in agricultural produce is very high, industrial transducers cannot be used in agriculture and needs to be modified. this is done with horns that concentrate energy on ...
