Fruit prickles are widely distributed on the pericarp and exhibit polymorphic traits at different developmental stages.Although they are multicellular appendages that are well-known for helping plants defend against biotic click here and abiotic stresses, their origination and molecular mechanism are still less known.Here, we studied the originatio

The 5-HT3 receptor is a ligand-gated ion channel expressed on interneurons throughout the brain.So far, analysis of the 5-HT3A knockout mouse revealed changes in nociceptive processing and a reduction in anxiety related behavior.Recently, it was shown that the 5-HT3 receptor is also expressed on Cajal-Retzius cells which play a key role in cortical

Crossbred Angus-by-Hereford calves (seen in photo above, and cover, at the custom congratulations banner Albaugh Ranch, Shasta County) yielded a significantly higher return per head at weaning and at yearling age than straight Hereford calves out of Hereford dams of the same age, under the same environmental conditions.At weaning age, crossbred cal

An interspecific factorial hybridization was made, where seven P.strobus female parent trees were mated to four P.wallichiana male trees, in order to transfer genes for resistance to blister-rust from the blue pine to the F1 hybrids.The hybrid seedlings and the open pollinated families of the two parents were three times consecutively inoculated wi
