Recent research shows partially overlapping signal transduction pathways controlling responses to wounding, insects, and pathogens. Chemical and behavioral assays show that plants release herbivore-specific volatiles, and ...

The initial infection process of nematode-trapping fungi is based on an interaction between the trapping structure of the fungus and the surface of the nematode cuticle. A bioassay was designed to investigate the predatory ...

Measurements have been made of the Zr-96(p,gamma)Nb-97, Sn-112(p,gamma)Sb-113, and Sn-119(p,gamma) Sb-120 cross section excitation functions, Incident proton energies ranged from 2.8 MeV to 8.5 MeV. These reactions are ...

Background. The Representational Redescription model of cognitive development (Karmiloff-Smith, 1992) identified a level when a child's representation of a task may be incorrect but difficult to access or change. On the ...

In the UK, conidia of Pseudocercosporella capsellae, the anamorph of Mycosphaerella capsellae, were observed on white leaf spot lesions on leaves throughout the growing season. Ascomata were not observed on lesions on ...

The effects of a noncompetitive N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist dizocilpine ((+)-MK-801) and a competitive NMDA antagonist, (+/-)-3-2-carboxypiperazin-4-yl-propyl-1-phosphonic acid (CPP) were compared in ...

Surface-coat epitopes of Meloidogyne incognita were detected in root tissues of Arabidopsis thaliana during migration and feeding site formation. A whole-mount root technique was used for immunolocalization of surface coat ...

This study was funded by DGXVII of the EC and the UK DETR. It commenced in January 1997 and was completed in January 1999. The general context of the research was that of reducing the energy consumption of the existing ...

Over several years our group has sought to synthesize and identify selective ligands for imidazoline (I) receptors, in particular the I2 binding site. As a consequence, [3H]2-(2-benzofuranyl)-2-imidazoline (2BFI) has proved ...
