A water-soluble chlorophyll protein (WSCP) in cauliflower (Brassica oleracea L.) was purified and its N-terminal sequence was determined. Forty-six of 48 residues of the sequence completely matched those of the drought-induced 22-kD protein (BnD22) in rapeseed (Brassica napus L.). All 40 sequenced residues of WSCP from rapeseed were perfectly matched to those of BnD22. Thus, WSCP may be identic...

The microbiological quality of blanched frozen cauliflower, cut corn, and peas at the retail level was determined. At 35 degrees C, mean aerobic plate count (APC) values for cauliflower, corn, and peas, respectively, were 30,000, 6,100, and 4,700 per g; at 30 degrees C, the mean APC values were 45,000, 8,500, and 6,800 per g, respectively. Geometric means for coliform, Escherichia coli, and Sta...

Metastatic pulmonary calcification (MPC) is a rare pathological condition consisting of lung calcium salt deposits which commonly occurs in patients affected by chronic kidney disease probably for some abnormalities in calcium and phosphate metabolism. CT represents the technique of choice for detecting MPC findings including ground glass opacities and partially calcified nodules or consolidati...

Transfection of Brassica campestris leaves with cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) harboring a mammalian metallothionein (MT) cDNA at the ORFII position lowered the glucosinolate (GS) concentration to approximately one-half the level in leaves infected with wild-type CaMV. This suppression was independent of the plant's sulfate status, suggesting that the pathways for protein (MT) and GS biosynthe...

Examination of the physical structure of cauliflower mosaic virus DNA by electron microscopy and ultracentrifugal analysis showed that the DNA could be isolated mainly as a circular molecule of mol. wt. 4"7 x Io 6. Nearest-neighbour frequency analysis showed that the DNA has a chemical structure which exhibits close similarities to that of the host cauliflower DNA. The relationships of this pla...

In this study, electroless Ni-B depositions were achieved on the St-37 steel substrates at different NaBH4 concentrations and 950 oC 1 hour. Electroless deposited samples had a cauliflower-like surface texture that makes lubricating naturally as concentration increased, grain size decreases in microstructure. XRD spectra of sample showed partial amorph region together with crystalline region. M...

Buschke-Loewenstein tumor (BLT) is a giant condyloma acuminatum which is very rare and commonly affects the anogenital region. The malignant transformation and localization in penis is very rare. This article aims to present a case with BLT with malignant transformation in penis. A 59-year-old male patient was referred, who has have been suffering from a cauliflower-like lesion in the penis for...

INTRODUCTION Endoleaks remains one of the primary concerns of endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) and is routinely followed with CT angiography (CTA). However, certain imaging findings can mimic endoleaks. CASE PRESENTATION A 65-year-old woman who had endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) of an abdominal aortic aneurysm with Endologix Powerlink system developed marked new circumferential c...
