Agrobacterium tumefaciens can cause crown gall tumors by transferring both an oncogenic piece of DNA (T-DNA) and several effector proteins into a wide range of host plants.For the translocated effector VirE3 multiple functions have been reported.It acts as a transcription factor in the nucleus binding to the Arabidopsis thaliana Tea, Coffee and Swe
Abstract Background The Antarctic clam, Laternula elliptica, is an infaunal stenothermal bivalve mollusc with a circumpolar distribution.It plays a significant role in bentho-pelagic coupling and hence has been proposed as a sentinel species for climate change monitoring.Previous studies have shown that this mollusc displays a high level of plastic
Purpose - This paper aims to explore the phenomenon of impulse buying in the fashion industry.The online and offline channels are compared to determine which is perceived as leading to more impulsive buying.Design/methodology/approach - As the result of the literature review, three research questions are proposed and examined through an online self
Most bacteria use an indirect pathway to generate aminoacylated glutamine and/or asparagine tRNAs.Clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis with increased STAND rates of error in gene translation (mistranslation) involving the indirect tRNA-aminoacylation pathway have increased tolerance to the first-line antibiotic rifampicin.Here, we identi
Reproductive efficiency such as fertility and hatch of fertile (HoF) are of economic importance and concern to breeding companies becaue of their effects on chick output.Similar to other traits of economic importance in poultry breeding, the rate of response for Champagne Stoppers HoF is largely dependent on the use of an appropriate model for eval
