We previously isolated a complete set of primary trisomics along with many other aneuploids from triploid plants derived from an indica rice variety "Zhongxian 3037." About 30,000 progeny from these trisomic and aneuploid plants were grown each year from 1994 to 1999. The variants that differed morphologically from both the diploids and the original primary trisomics were collected for cytologi...

Two isolates of Paenibacillus validus (DSM ID617 and ID618) stimulated growth of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus intraradices Sy167 up to the formation of fertile spores, which recolonize carrot roots. Thus, the fungus was capable of completing its life cycle in the absence of plant roots, but relied instead on the simultaneous growth of bacteria. The supernatant of a mixed batch cultu...

OBJECTIVE To assess the extent to which intensity and timing of televised anti-smoking advertising emphasizing the serious harms of smoking influences quit attempts. METHODS Using advertising gross rating points (GRPs), we estimated exposure to tobacco control and nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) advertising in the 3, 4-6, 7-9 and 10-12 months prior to follow-up of a replenished cohort of 3...

We investigated whether the visual system could use a novel action-perception relationship mediated by a touch panel to resolve ambiguity in 2D optic flows. The stimulus was an optic flow produced by a dotted plane, which was translated and rotated in depth. The translation was synchronized with subject's hand movements on a touch panel. There were two perceptual interpretations of the stimulus...

1. An automatic respirometer has been developed for continuous measurements over 3-4 days on 1-15 g crayfish. The sensor is a modified Mackereth oxygen electrode. Respiration is recorded on a millivolt potentiometric pen recorder during closed periods when the O2 concentration in the medium falls to a predetermined level. A solenoid-operated valve is then opened via a relay circuit energized by...
