Identification and characterization of the BZR transcription factor family and its expression in response to abiotic stresses in Zea mays L. [PDF]
Brassinosteroids (BRs) are plant specific steroidal hormones that play diverse roles in regulating a broad spectrum of plant growth and developmental processes, as well as, in responding to various biotic and abiotic stresses. Extensive research over the

The Factors of the Classification of Protein Amino Acids [PDF]
In this work it is shown that three pairs of the factors appear to be the key, i.e. main factors of a natural classification of protein (canonical) amino acids within the amino acid (genetic) code. First pair: the factors of the habit of an amino acid molecule (size and polarity).

Hypocotyl adventitious root organogenesis differs from lateral root development [PDF]
Wound-induced adventitious root (AR) formation is a requirement for plant survival upon root damage inflicted by pathogen attack, but also during the regeneration of plant stem cuttings for clonal propagation of elite plant varieties.

Perturbation of indole-3-butyric acid homeostasis by the UDP-glucosyltransferase UGT74E2 modulates Arabidopsis architecture and water stress tolerance [PDF]
Reactive oxygen species and redox signaling undergo synergistic and antagonistic interactions with phytohormones to regulate protective responses of plants against biotic and abiotic stresses.

Modeling of the formation of short-chain acids in propane flames [PDF]
In order to better understand their potential formation in combustion systems, a detailed kinetic mechanism for the formation of short-chain monocarboxylic acids, formic (HCOOH), acetic (CH3COOH), propionic (C2H5COOH) and propenic (C2H3COOH)) acids, has been developed. Simulations of lean (equivalence ratios from 0.9 to 0.48) laminar premixed flames of

Plastid redox state and sugars: Interactive regulators of nuclear-encoded photosynthetic gene expression [PDF]
Feedback regulation of photosynthesis by carbon metabolites has long been recognized, but the underlying cellular mechanisms that control this process remain unclear.

Discovery Of Copper Catalyst For New Chemical Polishing Acid On Superconducting Niobium [PDF]
High field Q-slope (HFQS) seriously limits the high gradient performance of the buffered chemically polished (BCP) superconducting radio frequency (SRF) niobium cavities. The direct cause or mechanism is not yet fully understood. In our recent extensive data analysis, we concluded that the potential root cause could be nitrogen contamination on the ...

Exploring emergent properties in cellular homeostasis using OnGuard to model K+ and other ion transport in guard cells [PDF]
It is widely recognized that the nature and characteristics of transport across eukaryotic membranes are so complex as to defy intuitive understanding.

ER5, a tomato cDNA encoding an ethylene-responsive LEA-like protein: characterization and expression in response to drought, ABA and wounding [PDF]
We report the isolation by differential display of a novel tomato ethylene-responsive cDNA, designated ER5. RT-PCR analysis of ER5 expression revealed an early (15 min) and transient induction by ethylene in tomato fruit, leaves and roots.
