TL;DR: The variation in karyoevolutionary status and fluorochrome banding pattern between TCSF and TCLF plants could be utilized for further cytotaxonomic and phylogenetic revisions.
TL;DR: It is shown that ORYZA SATIVA HOMEOBOX1 (OSH1), a member of class I knotted-like homeobox (KNOX) genes, is involved in shoot branching in rice (Oryza sativa), and that OSH1 is likely to play an important role in maintaining undifferentiated cells during axillary bud formation.
TL;DR: This paper presents a poster presented at the 2016 Japan Science and Technology Agency/CREST/START conference on bioinformatics and nanofiltration titled “Superfiltration and Superfiltration Cycles of Algae: Foundations of Superfishing and Nanofiltration Engineering”.
TL;DR: The observations suggest that flower doubling and leaf variegation in tuberose have arisen due to gene mutations and do not necessarily involve changes in chromosome number or structure.
TL;DR: This paper aims to demonstrate the efforts towards in-situ applicability of ULTIMATE EMMARM, which aims to provide real-time information about the phytochemical properties of E.coli found in Eikokuji-cho.
TL;DR: The present investigation explains the cyto logical assessment and consequences in translocation heterozygote induced by EMS treatment in cumin, Cuminum cyminum L.
TL;DR: These species showed high pollen fertility in spite of presence of some meiotic abnormalities, and the meiosis was found to be mostly normal in both species.
Abstract: Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are molecular chaperones that respond to various external and internal cellular stresses. Hsp90 is an abundant cellular heat shock protein. It has two isoforms, Hsp90α and Hsp90β. In fish, expression of the isoforms is augmented by various stress signals, including thermal change, salinity, pH, ammonia, infection, and environmental pollutants. In this study, we isolated both isoforms of Hsp90, designated rkHsp90α and rkHsp90β, from the liver of Kumgang fat minnow, Rhynchocypris kumgangensis, a small freshwater fish that is endemic to Korea. Sequences of the isolated isoforms showed homology with the corresponding isoforms of teleost Hsp90. Both isoforms of rkHsp90 were highly expressed in the liver compared to other tissues, including brain, gastrointestinal tract, gills, and muscle. Water temperature elevation induced increased hepatic and muscular expression of rkHsp90α, but not rkHsp90β. Both isoforms did not respond to lipopolysaccharide challenges. Exposure to environmental pollutants promoted expression of rkHsp90β, but not rkHsp90α. The collective findings support the proposal that rkHsp90α and rkHsp90β act as molecular chaperones that respond to distinct cellular stresses. Both could serve as useful biomarkers for assessing cellular stress in Kumgang fat minnow.
TL;DR: The number of individuals used to profile each cultivar can be reduced to eight per cultivar for analysis of the genetic variability in Brassica using RAPD and ISSR polymor-phism, and the bulked-samples-based approach can be used to describe the genetic relationship among Brassica cultivars.
TL;DR: It is suggested that low-doses of UV-B induce moderate increases of the nuclei and cell volumes through cell cycle arrest, similar to the S and G2 phases of the cell cycle.
