A cDNA library was synthesized from maize anaerobic root mRNA and screened with cDNA specific to the anaerobically induced Zea mays cytoplasmic aldolase. At least 1% of the cDNA of the library corresponded to maize cytoplasmic aldolase. The sequence of four overlapping cDNA clones encoded a protein of molecular weight 38,611 homologous to aldolase. These cDNAs were polymorphic at three bases an...

This study examined the extent of organic solvent and water retention in comonomer blends with different hydrophilicity (Hoy’s solubility parameter for hydrogen bonding, δh) after solvent evaporation, and the extent of tracer penetration in polymerised films prepared from these resins. For each comonomer blend, adhesive/solvent mixtures were prepared by addition of [1] 50wt% acetone; [2] 50wt% ...

The Ty3 retroviruslike element inserts preferentially at the transcription initiation sites of genes transcribed by RNA polymerase III (pol III). The requirements for TFIIIC and TFIIIB in Ty3 integration into the two initiation sites of the U6 gene carried on pU6LboxB were previously examined. Ty3 integrates at low, but detectable, frequencies in the presence of TFIIIB subunits Brf1 and TBP. In...

ion over that variable. (von Stechow was not concerned with answers to functional questions, but his remarks generalize directly to this case.) Under this view, the shift from the-mother-of'(x) to λx[the-mother'of'(x)] does not in fact involve extra machinery. Note, though, that this makes sense only under a Binders Out approach in general since it is only under such an approach that the rule i...

--I examined aspects of Charnov et al.'s (1981) host-size model for the parasitoid wasp Spalangia cameroni, using collections of fly pupae (hosts) from a poultry house. The model predicts that female parasitoid wasps should emerge from larger hosts than males. This prediction was supported for two collection dates in which only one host species, house flies, was parasitized by S. cameroni. The ...

ed: Annual mortality rate estimated from “animal years” in captivity was 8.9%. Females have a linear growth rate up to age 10-12 and males up to 12-16 about the time they become sexually mature. Various females first gave birth at age 11, 12, 13, and 15. A 17-month gestation period based on serum and urine progesterone studies. Note: The mortality rates calculated were not age-specific; nonethe...

Microbe associated molecular pattern (MAMP)-triggered immunity (MTI) is an important component of the plant innate immunity response to invading pathogens. However, most of our knowledge of MTI comes from studies of model systems with relatively little work done with crop plants. In this work, we report on variation in both the MAMP-triggered oxidative burst and gene expression across four soyb...

We are interested in nite-time blow-up phenomena for heat equations of the type: @u @t = u+ jujp 1u (1) where u : (x; t) 2 RN [0; T )! R, 1 < p, (N 2)p < N + 2. We rst construct for (1) a solution u which blows-up in nite time T at only one blow-up point x0 2 RN , and describe completely its blow-up pro le (or asymptotic behavior). This construction is based on a priori estimates' technique whi...
