Characterization of the polymorphism detected for the granule-bound starch synthase (WX gene) in wild einkorn wheat. [PDF]
Abstract BACKGROUND The WX gene encodes the granule‐bound starch synthase I or waxy protein, which is the sole enzyme responsible for amylose synthesis in wheat seeds. Wild einkorn wheat (Triticum monococcum L. ssp. aegilopoides Link em. Thell.) could be an important source of variation for this gene. RESULTS This study assessed the WX gene variability

Prospective Longitudinal Cohort of Argentinean Patients with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy: A Platform for Epidemiological and Translational Research [PDF]
Abstract Background Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and corticobasal syndrome (CBS) are two neurodegenerative disorders that manifest disabling postural instability, parkinsonism, cognitive impairment and falls with brain neurofibrillary tangle lesions containing 4‐repeat tau protein. The prevalence is 6/100,000 inhabitants but estimated only from

Family-specific degenerate primer design: a tool to design consensus degenerated oligonucleotides [PDF]
Designing degenerate PCR primers for templates of unknown nucleotide sequence may be a very difficult task. In this paper, we present a new method to design degenerate primers, implemented in family-specific degenerate primer design (FAS-DPD) computer ...

Developmental synaptic changes at the transient olivocochlear-inner hair cell synapse [PDF]
In the mature mammalian cochlea, inner hair cells (IHCs) are mainly innervated by afferent fibers that convey sound information to the CNS. During postnatal development, however, medial olivocochlear (MOC) efferent fibers transiently innervate the IHCs ...

Normal spatial learning and improved spatial working memory in mice (mus musculus) lacking dopamine d4 receptors [PDF]
Dopamine terminals in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex modulate cognitive processes such as spatial learning and working memory. Because dopamine D4 receptors are expressed in these brain areas we have analyzed mutant mice lacking this receptor ...

Exploring regulatory networks in plants: transcription factors of starch metabolism [PDF]
Biological networks are complex (non-linear), redundant (cyclic) and compartmentalized at the subcellular level. Rational manipulation of plant metabolism may have failed due to inherent difficulties of a comprehensive understanding of regulatory loops ...

Differential Contribution of Subunit Interfaces to α 9 α 10 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Function [PDF]
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors can be assembled from either homomeric or heteromeric pentameric subunit combinations. At the interface of the extracellular domains of adjacent subunits lies the acetylcholine binding site, composed of a principal ...
