Yeast

Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker’s yeast) and Schizosaccharomyces pombe (fission yeast) are often considered to be model eukaryotic organisms, in a manner analogous to Escherichia coli as a model prokaryotic organism. Both yeasts have been extensively characterized and their genomes completely sequenced. They are as easy to grow as other microorganisms, and they have a haploid nuclear DNA content only 3.5 times that of E. coli. However, despite the small genomes sizes, these yeasts display most of the features of higher eukaryotes. The fact that many cellular processes are conserved among different eukaryotic species-combined with the powerful genetic and molecular tools that are availablehas made these yeasts important experimental organisms for a variety of basic problems in eukaryotic molecular biology.
Study on content of amino acid in the pine seed protein and its nutritive evaluation

Using the score of ratio coefficient of amino acid and WHO/FAO reference model of essential amino acid(EAA)as an apprasial criterion,the nutritional value of pine seed protein were evaluated by ratio coefficient acid(AA). The results showed that the AA in pine seed protein were rich in all kinds of AA,Glutamic acid was the most high in total amino acid,the EAA 25% of total AA,which was high-quality plant protein. The water-soluble protein and salt-soluble protein were 67.7019% in pine seed protein. The contents and scores of the water-soluble protein and salt-soluble protein were reasonable. Using the score of ratio coefficient of amino acid in pine seed protein,water-soluble protein(82.9256)alkali-soluble protein(81.453)Gliadin(79.0838)Total protein(77.1625)salt-soluble protein(46.3652). The first limiting AA was Val in total amino acid,water-soluble protein and salt-soluble protein. The first limiting AA was Cys-Met in alkali-soluble protein and Gliadin.
Early Cretaceous Mammals from Flat Rocks, Victoria, Australia

The tribosphenic mammal Ausktribosphenos nyktos together with the eupantothere Teinoloplios trusleri gen. et sp. nov. occur at the Early Aptian Flat Rocks locality in south-eastern Australia. That a eupantothere might occur in the Early Cretaceous of Australia is in accordance with previous expectations. However, quite the opposite is true of tribosphenic mammals, in particular placentals to which group A. nyktos may belong. Analysis of the morphology of Ausktribosphenos nyktos suggests it may be (1) a placental, (2) the sister group of the placentals, or (3) a tribosphenic mammal unrelated to the placentals. On morphological grounds, the first hypothesis appears to be the most probable. Within the placentals, A. nyktos shows a startling resemblance to the Erinaceidae. A. nyktos may be characterised as having a lower dentition remarkably like that of the erinaceids set in a lower jaw which is markedly more primitive, perhaps the condition that might be found in the primitive sister-group of the Erinaceidae. The oldest undoubted placentals known from lower dentitions are the two species of Prokennalestes found in the Early Cretaceous of Mongolia. If Ausktribosphenos nyktos is also a placental, then there are five biogeographic hypotheses divided into two main classes to explain this distribution. The first class is dispersal via Antarctica-South America-Africa-Europe and the second, direct migration between Asia and Australia. Within the first class of hypotheses, the most likely seeming variant is one which posits the extinction of placentals in South America by the Campanian after the interchange had occurred. Within the second class, a one-way transport of faunal elements from Eastern Gondwana to Asia by the mechanism of Noah’s Ark type passage on a northward drifting terrane or terranes is the most likely seeming mechanism.
Reciprocal formulae for convolutions of Bernoulli and Euler polynomials

By computing the bivariate exponential generating functions for the Ωfunctions, we investigate the reciprocal sums concerning Bernoulli and Euler polynomials. Their convolutions with different weight factors lead to numerous strange identities on Bernoulli and Euler polynomials, such as Miki’s identity and the recent generalizations due to Pan and Sun (2006). There have been vast mathematical literature dedicated to Bernoulli and Euler numbers. In 1978, Miki [16] discovered through p-adic analysis the following surprising identity on binomial and ordinary convolutions of Bernoulli numbers: −2 ∑ k=2 BkB −k k( − k) − −2 ∑ k=2 ( k )BkB −k k( − k) = 2H B . With the aid of Mathematica, Matiyasevich [15] found two other similar formulae −1 ∑
pH-responsive high internal phase emulsions stabilized by core cross-linked star (CCS) polymers

Well-defined core cross-linked star (CCS) polymers of poly(N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA) were prepared via cross-linking copolymerization in an aqueous-based dispersion polymerization system, mediated by reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. The synthesized CCS polymers were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and conductivity and zeta potential measurements. The use of PDMAEMA CCS polymers as effective emulsifiers for oil-in-water emulsions was investigated. Interfacial tension measurements showed that the CCS polymer reduced the interfacial tension between water and oil in a pH-dependent manner. Gelled high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) were formed at high oil fractions (80–89 vol%) and over a wide range of pH values (2–12). The HIPEs were characterized by conductivity, confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and rheology. The emulsion properties in terms of oil droplet size, long-term stability and rheology were pH-dependent. Complete demulsification of HIPEs was easily realized 2 min after the addition of base. The CCS-stabilized HIPEs were used as templates to prepare porous hydrophilic polymers by polymerizing the monomers in the continuous aqueous phase. The study presented herein reveals that responsive CCS polymers can be used as effective stabilizers for the formation of responsive HIPEs, which have a wide range of applications.
Time-Course of Di-nitrogen Fixation in Soybean Grown on Typic Haplusterts of Madhya Pradesh

A pot experiment was carried out on a Typic Haplustert to study the time-course of N2 fixation in soybean (cv. Punjab-I) by 15N dilution technique using rice (cv. Kranti) as a nonfixing reference crop. Di-nitrogen derived from atmosphere (%Ndfa) in soybean on the 45th day after sowing was 37.6 per cent and thereafter %Ndfa value increased steadily and attained maximum (63.3) at the 75th day after sowing. From biological N2 fixation point of view, the period between the 55th and 75th day after sowing was found very important as during this period 61.2 per cent of the total biologically fixed N was accumulated. Between the period 45th and 55th day and 65th to 75th day, the rate of growth of root biomass (excluding nodules) was very high while in contrast, the crop had maximum nodule dry weight (1.88 g/pot) during the period from 55th to 65th day after sowing. Amount of fertilizer N translocated into the root was maximum (24.3 mg N pot−1) on the 55th day and declined gradually till maturity. The %Ndff and fertilizer N content value of nodule indicated that a measurable amount of fertilizer N entered into the plant system through root nodules. Fertilizer N uptake by the whole plant on the 55th and 95th (final harvest) day after sowing suggests that the crop was in net loss of 23.7 mg fertilizer N per pot at maturity.
Chloroethene Biodegradation in Sediments at 4°C

ABSTRACT Microbial reductive dechlorination of [1,2-14C]trichloroethene to [14C]cis-dichloroethene and [14C]vinyl chloride was observed at 4°C in anoxic microcosms prepared with cold temperature-adapted aquifer and river sediments from Alaska. Microbial anaerobic oxidation of [1,2-14C]cis-dichloroethene and [1,2-14C]vinyl chloride to 14CO2 also was observed under these conditions.
The effects of grey seal predation and commercial fishing on the recovery of a depleted cod stock

Cod (Gadus morhua) are preyed upon by grey seals (Halichoerus grypus), and there is debate over the impact this has had on the decline of stocks and their prospects for recovery. We analysed a depleted stock to the West of Scotland and show that seal predation rate is consistent with a type II functional response. Forward projections of a model including the functional response under varying levels of fishing and seal population size suggest that stock recovery is possible under current conditions, but there is a modest probability that the stock will decline further in both the short and long term. The potential recovery is fragile and sensitive to relatively small increases in either fishing or seal predation. Forward projection models that exclude the functional response estimate a lower probability of stock decline and may underestimate the risk to the stock. At low stock sizes and high fishing mortality rates, functional response models project slower recovery but the opposite is true at low fishing .
Combining ability analysis in black gram. (Vigna mungo (L.) hepper)

In the present study seven diverse genotypes of black gram werecrossed in diallel fashion excluding reciprocals. Seven parents and their 21 F1 generations were raised in randomized block design with three replications during rabi 2008 (E1) and kharif, 2009 (E2). The best specific combiner for seed yield per plant was PKV U-15 x IPU 02–33 and COBG 653 X Udid No.55. Hence, these two crosses were considered as superior for recombination breeding based on SCA effects. Hybrid PKV U-15 x IPU 02–33, COBG 653 x Udid No.55, COBG 653 x PKV U-15 and IPU 02–33 x KU 96-3 were found to be best hybrid combinations showing high SCA for number of branches per plant, number of pods per plant and seed yield. Among 7 parents, Udid No.55 showed maximum GCA effect and proved to be best general combiner. It showed maximum GCAeffect for number of branches, number of pods per cluster, number of pods per plant, and seed yield. Hence, these parents were considered as superior for recombination breeding based on GCAeffects.
Diel changes in small-scale vertical distribution of hyperbenthic mysids

Abstract Erythrops serrata (G.O. SARS), Boreomysis megalops G.O. SARS, Leptomysis gracilis (G.O. SARS) and Lophogaster typicus M. SARS were studied at 150 m depth in Fanafjorden, western Norway in April, June, September, and December 1979. Sampling was performed with hyperbenthic sledges in intervals of 0-80 cm and 30-80 cm above the sediment. During daylight all species were concentrated in immediate vicinity of the sediment. During darkness E. serrata performed increased swimming activity near the bottom. A part of the population of B. megalops always undertook vertical migration at night. Distribution of the remaining hyperbenthic part was less stratified than during daylight. A substantial portion of vertically migrating individuals returned to depth before sunrise. Almost the entire population of L. gracilis and L. typicus left the hyperbenthic region prior to sunset, and returned after sunrise. Approaching sunset distributional changes first occurred for L. typicus (1-2 hours prior to sunset), follo.
Investigation of growth, yield and economics as affected by FYM and some foliar treatments under late sown wheat

An experiment laid out in split plot design replicated four times consisted of 12 treatments, having two FYM levels i.e., FYM (10 t/ha), no FYM and six foliar nutrition (0.1% calcium chloride, 0.5% zinc sulphate, 2.0% potassium chloride, 20g/ha ethylene synthesis inhibiter 1- methyl cyclo propane (1-MCP) and water spray at post anthesis stage) along with control as no foliar spray. Soil Appication of 10 t FYM /ha resulted numerically higher value of soil moisture content at different growth stages, emergence count, dry matter, LAI, yield attributes and ultimately grain yield. Physiological response of wheat in terms of chlorophyll content (SPAD value), photosystem II efficiency (Fv/Fm), canopy temperature, leaf temperature and transpiration rate were also numerically superior with FYM application over no FYM application. However values of aforesaid parameters except canopy temperature at 90 and 110 days after sowing were statistically at par. All foliar spray treatments were numerically superior over no foliar spray. However foliar spray of Zinc sulphate (0.5%) at post anthesis resulted highest yield attributes and grain yield and significantly superior to no spray. Among all treatments, FYM+ZnSO4 gave highest cost of cultivation, gross return and net return. There was not significant interaction between FYM and foliar treatments with respect to all the aforesaid parameters.
An Update on Aspects of Feline Immunodeficiency Virus in Taiwan

To determine the prevalent subtypes of feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) in the domestic cat population in Taiwan during 2005-2006, the variable V3-V5 region of the envelope (env) gene was amplified by a nested PCR from the samples of whole blood of 18 FIV antibody positive cats. The blood samples were collected from animals in the animal shelters and from clinical cases in the Veterinary Hospital at National Taiwan University. Within the 18 serum positive samples, 12 samples were successful amplified by PCR. After sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of PCR products, 11 samples were clustered within group of subtype C, which is consistent with previous reports. However, the remaining one sample was grouped within subtype B; this is the first time this subtype has been identified in Taiwan. This observation suggests the need of a more comprehensive epidemiological survey before appropriately evaluation of the use of FIV vaccine in Taiwan.
Correlation Analysis in Barnyard Millet [Echinochloa frumentacea (Roxb.) Link]

An investigation was carried out with 65 indigenous and exotic barnyard millet germplasm to study the correlation between grain yield and its components traits. Results of correlation analysis indicated that the grain yield per plant was found to be highly significant and positively correlated with straw yield per plant, single earhead weight, plant height, flag leaf width, 1000 grain weight, earhead length, flag leaf length, earhead width and number racemes. Selection based on these characters may be helpful in planning efficient breeding programme.
Albanian women’s experiences of migration to Greece and Italy: a gender analysis

ABSTRACT This article focuses on the experiences of Albanian women migrating to Italy and Greece, exploring their reasons for migration, their experiences abroad, and the manifestation of their entrepreneurial spirit upon return to Albania. The article also examines how migration can challenge and transform but also reinforce gender equalities; it might lead to new opportunities and liberation or to new gender inequalities and constraints.
Conformational Heterogeneity and Catalytic Promiscuity in Glutathione Transferases

Conformational Heterogeneity and Catalytic Promiscuity in Glutathione Transferases Matthew T. Honaker Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor William M. Atkins Department of Medicinal Chemistry Enzymological paradigms have shifted recently to acknowledge the biological importance of catalytic promiscuity. Detoxification enzymes, such as glutathione transferases, are known to be highly promiscuous. One common suggestion is that promiscuous enzymes are more conformationally heterogeneous than their substrate-specific counterparts. Here, a series of structurally similar glutathione transferase (GST) variants ranging from high specificity to high promiscuity are used as a platform for examining conformational heterogeneity as a putative mechanism for promiscuity. Quantitative promiscuity indices range from 0.72 for promiscuous GSTA1-1 to 0.05 for specific GSTA4-4, with intermediate values for each of the GST mutants. Fluorescence lifetime distribution analysis of Trp21 at the domain interface indicates a modest correlation of core protein dynamics with promiscuity. The mobility during the excited-state lifetime of Trp21 increases sharply for GSTA1-1. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) indicates a reversible low temperature transition for the promiscuous GSTA1-1 that is not observed with substrate specific GSTA4-4. This transition is assigned to rearrangement of the Cterminus at the active site of GSTA1-1 based on the effects of ligands and mutations. Near-UV and far-UV circular dichroism indicate that this transition is due to repacking of tertiary contacts with the remainder of the subunit, rather than ‘unfolding’ of the C-terminus per se. Analysis of the DSC data using a modified Landau Theory indicates that the local conformational landscape of the active site of GSTA1-1 is smooth, with barrierless transitions between states. The partition function of the C-terminal states is a broad unimodal distribution at all temperatures within this DSC transition. Extraction and analysis of low temperature transitions for GSTA4-4 and the GST mutants with intermediate promiscuity using the same method indicates a correlation between the natural logarithm of partition function distribution widths with promiscuity, suggestive of an entropic basis for promiscuity. A similar trend in barrier heights differentiated barrierless GSTA1-1 from the less promiscuous GSTs, with free energy barriers increasing as promiscuity decreased. The correlation of conformational heterogeneity and level of promiscuity across the GST variants examined suggest a conformational selection mechanism for catalytic promiscuity.
Differential Responses of Brassica Genotypes to Different Isolates of Albugo candida at True Leaf Stage

The oilseed Brassica species are the most important rabi oilseed crop. Albugo candida (A. cruciferum) the cause of the white rust/white blister of the rapeseed and mustard occurs in all cruciferous growing countries. The disease is characterized by bothlocal and systemic symptom expression. Among various disease management practices, breeding for resistant genotype/varieties is one of the most ecofriendly, economic and effective method. The present study was conducted to study the differential responses of Brassica genotypes to six isolates of Albugo candida at true leaf stage which will pave the way for the development of resistant variety against white rust and selection of host differentials for the identification of pathogenic races of A. candida. On the basis of disease indices the Brassica genotypes were grouped in to susceptible, moderately susceptible, and highly resistant using the average disease indexdata against different Albugo candida isolates.
Effect of S and Zn nutrients on growth, seed yield and quality of india mustard [Brassica juncea (L.) Czern and Coss.] Varieties

Five Indian mustard [Brassica juncea (L) Czern and Coss. ] varieties (Vaibhav, Rohini, Varuna, Kranti and Urvashi) were treated with three levels of sulphur (20, 40 and 60kg/ha.) and zinc (2.5, 5.0 and 7.5 kg/ha.) during Rabi 2003–04 and 2004–05. Among varieties Varuna gave highest performance regarding seed yield kg/plot and kg/ha. with maximum number of siliqua and 1000-seed weight with higher amount of oil content (41.28%). Variety Urvashi performed next to Varuna in terms of seed yield kg/plot and kg/ha. having highest number of primary and secondary branches but oil content was little bit low (40.70%). Highest oil content was yielded by Rohini (41.50%) and Kranti (41.52%). Application of 60kg S and 7.5kg Zn/ha. gave maximum seed yield and quality but benefits of sulphur was more than zinc application i.e. 79.29kg in seed yield/ha. and 0.56% in oil content. Variety Urvashi and Kranti were most responsive to nutrients application.
Phenotypic characterization of Sudanese Kenana cattle.

The phenotypic characteristics of Kenana cattle were studied in 300 heads in their natural habitat. The body colour of Kenana cattle was mainly white represented 57.3% of the population studied. Other colours light grey and grey which represented 31.3% and 11.3% respectively. Kenana cattle had crescent shaped horns (curved upwards horns (69.3%), straight face profile (83.7%) and well developed dewlap (97.0%). The hump was cervico-thoracic pointing to the back (96.0%). The udder was well developed with well spaced teats (88.3%). The overall averages of body measurements (cm) as horn length, ear length, face length, heart girth, pelvic width and body length were 16.40, 22.96, 43.73, 154.07, 33.81 and 133.02, respectively.
