Sex specific expression and distribution of small RNAs in papaya
(BioMed Central, 2014-01-13)
Background: Regulatory function of small non-coding RNAs (sRNA) in response to environmental and developmental cues has been established. Additionally, sRNA, also plays an important role in maintaining the heterochromatin ...
Broccoli (Brassica oleracea) phloem tissue proteome
(BioMed Central, 2013-11-07)
Background: The transport of sugars, hormones, amino acids, proteins, sugar alcohols, and other organic compounds from the sites of synthesis to the sites of use or storage occurs through the conducting cells of the phloem. ...
On knot complements that decompose into regular ideal dodecahedra
(2012-09-05)
Aitchison and Rubinstein constructed two knot complements that can be decomposed into two regular ideal dodecahedra. This paper shows that these knot complements are the only knot complements that decompose into n regular ...
Transcriptomic analysis of lignocellulosic biomass degradation by the anaerobic fungal isolate Orpinomyces sp. strain C1A
(BioMed Central, 2015-12-08)
Background: Anaerobic fungi reside in the rumen and alimentary tract of herbivores where they play an important role in the digestion of ingested plant biomass. The anaerobic fungal isolate Orpinomyces sp. strain C1A is ...
Novel high-rank phylogenetic lineages within a sulfur spring (Zodletone Spring, Oklahoma), revealed using a combined pyrosequencing-Sanger approach
(American Society for Microbiology, 2012-04-15)
The utilization of high-throughput sequencing technologies in 16S rRNA gene-based diversity surveys has indicated that within most ecosystems, a significant fraction of the community could not be assigned to known microbial ...
Ungulate preference for burned patches reveals strength of fire-grazing interaction
(Wiley Open Access, 2011-08-12)
The interactions between fire and grazing are widespread throughout fire-dependent landscapes. The utilization of burned areas by grazing animals establishes the fire-grazing interaction, but the preference for recently ...
Flare coupled metal parallel-plate waveguides for high resolution terahertz time-domain spectroscopy
(AIP Publishing, 2010-12-03)
We report on a new coupling scheme for high resolution terahertz spectroscopy of microcrystalline films using parallel-plate waveguides. Metal flares are used to couple the terahertz radiation into and out of the waveguide. ...
Temporal variability in aboveground plant biomass decreases as spatial variability increases
(Ecological Society of America, 2016)
Ecological theory predicts that diversity decreases variability in ecosystem function. We predict that, at the landscape scale, spatial variability created by a mosaic of contrasting patches that differ in time since ...
Observing metamaterial induced transparency in individual Fano resonators with broken symmetry
(AIP Publishing, 2011-11-15)
Metamaterial induced transparency is demonstrated using individual split ring resonators with two gaps on opposite side. For the symmetric structure, only a low quality dipolar resonance is witnessed at a normal incidence ...
Antiretroviral therapy perceived efficacy and risky sexual behaviors: Evidence from Mozambique
(University of Chicago Press, 2012-10)
This paper studies the effect of increased access to antiretroviral therapy (ART) for AIDS on self-reported risky sexual behavior, using data collected in Mozambique in 2007 and 2008. The survey sampled both households ...
