Plant-insect interactions
(1999-08)
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 ...
Predatory behaviour of trapping fungi against srf mutants of Caenorhabditis elegans and different plant and animal parasitic nematodes
(1999-07)
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 of proton radiative capture cross sections relevant to the astrophysical rp- and gamma-processes
(1999-06-21)
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 ...
Adaptive leaky integrator models of cerebellar Purkinje cells can learn the clustering of temporal patterns
(1999-06)
We have shown previously that the metabotropic glutamate receptor signalling network in a cerebellar Purkinje cell can implement adaptive postsynaptic delays. Here we present a leaky integrator version of the Purkinje cell ...
Ascospores as primary inoculum for epidemics of white leaf spot (Mycosphaerella capsellae) in winter oilseed rape in the UK
(1999-06)
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 ...
Dynamics of Energy Use in UK Households : End-use monitoring of Electric Cookers
(Ademe, 1999-06)
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 ...
Meloidogyne incognita surface antigen epitopes in infected Arabidopsis roots
(1999-06)
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 ...
The teachability of children with naive theories: An exploration of the effects of two teaching methods
(1999-06)
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 ...
MK-801 interaction with the 5-HT transporter : A real-time study in brain slices using fast cyclic voltammetry
(1999-06-01)
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 ...
