The maize lethal leaf spot 1 (lls1) mutant exhibits enhanced resistance to fungal pathogens.The lls1 resistance to Cochliobolus heterostrophus has two components: (i) lesion number is reduced 40% relative to wild type; and (ii) the lesions that do form often do not contain viable fungus.This lesion sterility is dependent upon leaf maturity and ligh
In termites, substrate-borne vibrations play an important role Thyroid Support Formulas in communication among nestmates.The adaptive significance of such an ability has led to an ever-increasing number of studies aimed at improving knowledge on vibroacoustic communication in these insects.Such studies are commonly carried out in laboratory arenas
Sloping croplands in karst areas of Southwest China usually contain a multitude of rock outcrops with diameters larger than 25 cm.Rock outcrops and spatial location have substantial effects on soil properties and thus likely affect soil erodibility.Moreover, rock outcropping is a indicator of rocky desertification and has an important impact on soi
Potassium channel tetramerization domain containing 15 (Kctd15) was previously found to have a role in early neural crest (NC) patterning, specifically delimiting the region where NC markers are expressed via repression of transcription factor AP-2a and inhibition of Wnt signaling.We used transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs) to
BACKGROUND:Cancers of the oral cavity are primarily oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCCs).Many of the OSCCs present at late stages with an exceptionally poor prognosis.A probable limitation in management of patients with OSCC lies in the insufficient knowledge pertaining to the linkage between copy number alterations in OSCC and oral tumourigenesis
