The bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) stress-related gene number 2 (PvSR2) gene responds to heavy metals but not to other forms of environmental stresses. To elucidate its heavy metal-regulatory mechanism at the transcriptional level, we isolated and characterized the promoter region (-1623/+48) of PvSR2. Deletions from the 5' end revealed that a sequence between -222 and -147 relative to the transcrip...

Two SAR and biomass data sets of forests with different canopy architectures were examined for commonalties regarding backscatterhiomass saturation. The SAR data were collected using the NASNJPL AIRSAR at incidence angles between 40’ and 50’ for tropical broadleaf evergreen forests in Hawaii and coniferous forests in North America and Europe. Radar signal saturation L i t s with respect to biom...

Wheat is widely grown in Ethiopia although production levels have not met the demand and price instability. One of gaps that modern varieties cover a small portion total area occupied by wheat. Through use superior wheat technologies pre-scaling up, project aimed to boost productivity for small-scale farmers. Two varieties, Liban Senate, were pre-scaled up three zones western Oromia. 147 farmer...

paper only the treatments receiving commercial urea prills Using maize as the indicator crop for recently tilled soils over seven successive seasons, urea prills coated with 0,5% polymer gave the greatest grain yield increases over commercial urea in seasons of below average rainfall (3,3 tonsha versus 1,6 tonsha in 1989-90). The ratios of grain to stover were also higher. In wet years, no diff...

To investigate the role of different cysteine residues in bovine rhodopsin, a series of mutants were prepared in which the cysteine residues were systematically replaced by serines. The mutant genes were expressed in monkey kidney cells (COS-1) and the mutant opsins were evaluated for their levels of expression, glycosylation patterns, and ability to form the chromophore characteristic of rhodo...

Previous studies on influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 candidate vaccine viruses (CVVs) that had adapted to growth in embryonated chicken eggs by the acquisition of amino acid substitutions at HA positions 222 or 223 showed that improved protein yield could be conferred by additional amino acid substitutions in the haemagglutinin (HA) that arose naturally during passaging of the virus in eggs. In this stud...
