We tested the hypothesis that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within genes of the NF-κB pathway are associated with altered clinical outcome of septic shock patients. We genotyped 59 SNPs in the NF-κB pathway in a discovery cohort of septic…

The cariogenic potential of Streptococcus mutans is due to the production of organic acids derived from energy metabolism, which implies the need of mechanisms for the organism to tolerate this acidic environment. The F(1)F(o)-ATPase is generally…

A new genus and species of gecko is described from a posterior lower limb and foot, and a partial tail, preserved in Lower Cretaceous amber from Myanmar that is 97-110My old. It appears to be the oldest unequivocal fossil gecko, predating…

This study has worked on the evaluation of the temporal and spatial evolution of heavy metal contamination in sediment taken from a shallow eutrophic lake, Lake Chaohu, China, over the last 100 years, and thereby used (137)Cs and (210)Pb dating, a…

A population of 126 adult rabbitbrush (Chrysothamnus nauseosus var. consimilis) was followed for 10 consecutive years from 1983 through 1992 in a sanddune ecosystem on the north shore of Mono Lake, California. The study area received an average…

A 10 year study of forest communities on Sithouette island, Seychelles demonstrates stability of forest composition in most areas over this time-scale. Areas with heavy invasion by alien species were found to be regenerating, particularly with the…

Answering the fundamental ecological question of what determines animal abundance has become critical with the accelerating need for informed management plans for endangered species. A major difficulty in testing general hypotheses to account for…

Sorting permutations by transpositions is an important problem in genome rearrangements. A transposition is a rearrangement operation in which a segment is cut out of the permutation and pasted in a different location. The complexity of this problem…

The tobacco Tto1 is one of the few active LTR-retrotransposons of plants, and its transposition is activated by tissue culture and is primarily regulated at the transcriptional level. The expression of Tto1 RNA can also be activated by various…

The occurrence of very-low-fluence responses (VLFR), low-fluence responses (LFR) and high-irradiance responses (HIR) of phytochrome was investigated for the expression of the gene of beta-glucuronidase (gusA) under the control of the tobacco Lhcb12…

Nitrogen-14 and nitrogen-15 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra were recorded for freshly dissected buds of Picea glauca and for buds grown for 3, 6 and 9 weeks on shoot-forming medium. Resonances for Glu (and other αNH2 groups), Pro, Ala, and…

Balancing selection preserves variation at the self-incompatibility locus (S-locus) of flowering plants for tens of millions of years, making it possible to detect demographic events that occurred prior to the origin of extant species. In contrast…

The manifestation of major climatic events such as the timing of deglaciation and whether, or not, the Younger Dryas affected Andean systems has garnered considerable recent attention. Even the Holocene is rapidly emerging as a time of considerable…

In arid and semi-arid areas such as southern Africa, rock hyrax (Procavia capensis) middens represent an exceptionally valuable source of late Quaternary palaeoenvironmental information. Pollen and stable isotope data derived from two rock hyrax…

Good quality durum wheats usually present the LMW-2 type of SDS-PAGE pattern, whereas the LMW-1 type of pattern is usually associated with poor quality durum wheats. The two patterns are distinguished mainly by the presence of a strongly expressed…

Several eubacteria including Esherichia coli use an alternative nonmevalonate pathway for the biosynthesis of isopentenyl diphosphate instead of the ubiquitous mevalonate pathway. In the alternative pathway, 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol or its…

Chloroplast protein import is mediated by two hetero-oligomeric protein complexes, the Tic and Toc translocons, which are located in the inner and outer envelope membranes. At the inner membrane, many Tic components have been identified and…

The conservation of the carboxyl-terminal "heat shock" domain among small (sm) cytoplasmic and chloroplast heat shock proteins (HSPs) suggests that these smHSPs perform similar functions. Previous studies have established that cytoplasmic smHSPs are…
