This study investigated the roles of sucrose synthase (SUS) in developing seeds and siliques of Arabidopsis thaliana. Enzyme activity assays showed that SUS activity was highest in developing whole siliques and young rosette leaves compared with other tissues including mature leaves, stems, and flowers. Surprisingly, quantitative PCR analyses revealed little correlation between SUS activity and...

In future 5G communication system, radio resources can be effectively reused by cognitive radio networks (CRNs), where a lot of secondary users (SUs) are able to access the spectrum of primary users (PUs). In this paper, we analyze the optimal spectrum access and power control of SUs on multiple bands with the target of maximizing the average sum rate (ASR) of SUs. Specifically, based on the st...

Sucrose synthase (SUS) is phosphorylated on a major, amino-terminal site located at Ser-15 (S15) in the maize (Zea mays) SUS1 protein. Site- and phospho-specific antibodies against a phosphorylated S15 (pS15) peptide allowed direct analysis of S15 phosphorylation in relation to membrane association. Immunoblots of the maize leaf elongation zone, divided into 4-cm segments, demonstrated that the...

Sucrose synthase (SUS) catalyzes the reversible conversion of sucrose and a nucleoside diphosphate into the corresponding nucleoside diphosphate-glucose and fructose. In Arabidopsis, a multigene family encodes six SUS (SUS1-6) isoforms. The involvement of SUS in the synthesis of UDP-glucose and ADP-glucose linked to Arabidopsis cellulose and starch biosynthesis, respectively, has been questione...

background: wild boars, sus scrofa , of wide distribution considered as a potential source of zoonotic parasites. the current study aimed to assess the prevalence of helminth infections in wild boars in the persian gulf coastal area (bushehr province), southwestern iran. methods: twenty-five wild boars, including 11 males and 14 females, were collected during a course of vertebrate pest control...

background: haemophilus influenzae type b (hib) has emerged as the predominant cause of meningitis in developing coun­tries wherever it has been studied using good microbiologic procedures, but data  regarding frequency, antimicrobial sus­ceptibility and preferable method for detection of haemophilus influenzae type b isolated from  iranian patients  were scarce. methods: one thousand and eight...

In cognitive radio networks, secondary users (SUs) are allowed to opportunistically exploit the licensed channels. Once finding the spectrum holes, SUs need to share the available licensed channels. Therefore, one of the critical challenges for fully utilizing the spectrum resources is how the SUs obtain accurate information about the primary users’ (PUs’) activities and make right decisions on...

INTRODUCTION Approximately one third of stable patients with significant intra-abdominal injury do not have significant intraperitoneal blood evident on admission. We hypothesized that a delayed, repeat ultrasound study (Secondary Ultrasound--SUS) will reveal additional intra-abdominal injuries and hemoperitoneum. METHODS We performed a prospective observational study of trauma patients at ou...

Functional overload and anabolic steroid administration induce signaling pathways that regulate skeletal muscle RhoA expression. The purpose of this study was to determine RhoA and associated protein expression at the onset of disuse and after a brief period of reloading. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to cage control (Con), 3 days of hindlimb suspension (Sus), or 3 days of hin...
