In this paper, we show that the class of R-quadratic Finsler spaces is a proper subset of the class of generalized Douglas-Weyl spaces. Then we prove that all generalized Douglas-Weyl spaces with vanishing Landsberg curvature have vanishing the non-Riemannian quantity H, generalizing result previously only known in the case of R-quadratic metric. Also, this yields an extension of well-known Num...

Flavonoids have been implicated in the regulation of auxin movements in Arabidopsis. To understand when and where flavonoids may be acting to control auxin movement, the flavonoid accumulation pattern was examined in young seedlings and mature tissues of wild-type Arabidopsis. Using a variety of biochemical and visualization techniques, flavonoid accumulation in mature plants was localized in c...

(1) Object: Our study aims to identify the common and diverging points in superior attachment of nasal uncinate process (SAUP) classifications draw attention pitfalls these evaluation processes. (2) Material Methods: This was performed on 200 patients (males/females, 100/100; mean age/range: 37.13 ± 16.14/16–84), 400 sides were bilaterally evaluated. Potential investigated. All UPs classified a...

We used a kinematic analysis to investigate the growth processes responsible for variation in primary root growth between 18 ecotypes of Arabidopsis. Root elongation rate differed 4-fold between the slowest (Landsberg erecta, 71 microm h(-1)) and fastest growing line (Wassilewskija [Ws]; 338 microm h(-1)). This difference was contributed almost equally by variations in mature cortical cell leng...

Tag1 is an autonomous transposable element of Arabidopsis thaliana. Tag1 expression was examined in two ecotypes of Arabidopsis (Columbia and No-0) that were transformed with CaMV 35S-Tag1-GUS DNA. These ecotypes contain no endogenous Tag1 elements. A major 2.3-kb and several minor transcripts were detected in all major organs of the plants. The major transcript encoded a putative transposase o...

Endoreduplication, the replication of the genome without mitosis, leads to endopolyploidy, an increase in cellular chromosome number. Although endoreduplication is widespread among angiosperms and other groups of eukaryotes, the degree to which this process is plastic under varying environmental conditions and its potential adaptive significance are not known. Here, using flow cytometry, we mea...

In 1998 Cereon Genomics LLC, a subsidiary of Monsanto Co., performed a shotgun sequencing of the Arabidopsis thaliana Landsberg erecta genome to a depth of twofold coverage using ‘classic’ Sanger sequencing. This sequence was assembled and aligned to the Columbia ecotype sequence produced by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative. The analysis provided tens of thousands of high-confidence prediction...

Both leaf production and leaf expansion are tightly linked to cell expansion and cell division, but the functional relationships between all these variables are not clearly established. To get insight into these relationships, a quantitative genetic analysis was performed in 118 recombinant inbred lines derived from a cross between the Landsberg erecta and Antwerp accessions and was combined wi...
