Abstract Genetic susceptibility to late maturity alpha-amylase (LMA) in wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) results increased activity mature grain when cool conditions occur during maturation. Farmers are forced sell with elevated at a discount because it has an risk of poor end-product quality. This problem can result from either LMA or preharvest sprouting, germination on the mother plant rain occ...

ABSTRACT The alignment of striated intensity structures in thin neutral hydrogen (H i) spectroscopic channels with Galactic magnetic fields has been observed. However, the origin and nature these striations are still debatable. Some studies suggest that result solely from real cold-density filaments without considering role turbulent velocity shaping channel’s distribution. To determine relativ...

The retinohypothalamic tract (RHT) relays photic information from the eyes to the brain biological clock in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). Activation of this pathway by light plays a role in adjusting circadian timing to light exposure at night. Here we report a new signaling pathway by which the RHT regulates circadian timing in the daytime as well. Using dual-immunocytochemistry for PACAP...

Mammalian free-running circadian rhythms are entrained to the external light/dark cycle by photic signaling to the suprachiasmatic nuclei via the retinohypothalamic tract (RHT). We investigated the circadian entrainment and clock properties of math5-/- mutant mice. math5 is a critical regulator of retinal ganglion cell development; math5-/- mice show severe optic nerve hypoplasia. By anterograd...

Detection of right heart thrombi (RHT) in the context of pulmonary thromboembolism (PE) is uncommon (4-18%) and increases the risk of mortality beyond the presence of PE alone. Type A thrombi are serpiginous and highly mobile and are thought to be originated from large veins and captured in-transit within the right heart. Optimal management of RHT is still uncertain. A 79-year-old woman, with a...

BACKGROUND & AIMS Obese protein malnourished mice display liver insulin resistance and taurine (TAU) seems to attenuate this effect. The association between early-life malnutrition and hepatic redox balance in diet-induced insulin resistance is unknown. We investigated TAU supplementation effects upon liver redox state and insulin signalling in obese protein malnourished mice. METHODS Weaned ...

Establishment of seedlings is a key factor in achievement of uniform field stands and, consequently, stable yields. Under Mediterranean conditions, soil moisture in the upper layer is limited and seedlings may be exposed to frequent dehydration events. The presence of the Reduced height (Rht)-B1b and Rht-D1b semi-dominant dwarfing alleles results in insensitivity to gibberellin (GAI) and, hence...
