The patterns of synonymous codon usage in 91 Drosophila melanogaster genes
have been examined. Codon usage varies strikingly among genes. This
variation is associated with differences in G+C content at silent sites,
but (unlike the situation in mammalian genes) these differences are not
correlated with variation in intron base composition and so are not easily
explicable in terms of mutational biases. Instead, those genes with high
G+C content at silent sites, resulting from a strong "preference" for a
particular subset of the codons that are mostly C- ending, appear to be the
more highly expressed genes. This suggests that G+C content is reduced in
sequences where selective constraints are weaker, as indeed seen in a
pseudogene. These and other data discussed are consistent with the effects
of translational selection among synonymous codons, as seen in unicellular
organisms. The existence of selective constraints on silent substitutions,
which may vary in strength among genes, has implications for the use of
silent molecular clocks.

Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) forage potential can be enhanced through its regrowth capacity and higher production in narrow rows. A field experiment was conducted in Matamoros, Coahuila, Mexico, during 2 growing seasons (2004 and 2005) to study the effects of plant height and row spacing on kenaf forage potential with multiple harvests. This study evaluated the effects of (1) 2 plant heights at cutting (1.0-1.2 m and 1.8-2.0 m) and (2) 4 inter row spacings (0.19, 0.38, 0.57 and 0.76 m) using a 2 x 4 factorial arrangement of treatments in a completely randomized block design with 4 replications. Dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP) yields, DM partitioning, neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and CP concentrations were determined. Heights at cutting × row spacing interactions were not significant for the monitored variables (p>0.05). Kenaf response to treatments was only relevant for main effects (p≤0.05). Row spacing and plant height affected DM and CP yields (p≤0.05), whereas only plant height affected chemical composition and DM partitioning (p≤0.05). Dry matter (17.0%-26.0%), and CP (12.4%-15.6%) yields were higher (p≤0.05) when plant heights had reached 1.8 to 2.0 m. Row spacing reduction from 0.76 m to 0.38 and 0.19 m increased DM yield (20.4-33.4%) and CP yield (24.2-38.5%) (p≤0.05). Kenaf forage potential increases when planted in narrow rows and harvested 2 or 3 times during the growing season. 相似文献

Background
The physiological regulation of ciliary beat frequency (CBF) within the fallopian tube is important for controlling the transport of gametes and the fertilized ovum. Progesterone influences gamete transport in the fallopian tube of several mammalian species. In fallopian tubes isolated from cows, treatment with 20 micromolar progesterone caused a rapid reduction of the tubal CBF. The aims of this study were to establish methodology for studying fallopian tube CBF in the mouse, as it is an important model species, and to investigate if progesterone rapidly affects the CBF of mice at nM concentrations. 相似文献124.

1,3-Propanediol (1,3-PD) production by fermentation of glycerol was first described in 1881 but little attention was paid to this biosynthesis for over a century. An increasing interest in microbial 1,3-PD production is observed since late 1980s. The high growth rate of the biofuel market and the perspective of glycerol becoming abundant attract even more attention to this valuable chemical.Glycerol conversion to 1,3-PD is known to occur in Clostridia, Enterobacteriaceae and Lactobacillaceae. Some clostridial species are among the best 1,3-PD producers.This work is a review of the current state of research on Clostridium spp. strains that ferment glycerol to 1,3-PD. It focuses on the metabolic pathways and factors that influence the production of this diol. The effects of different environmental stresses on the process of 1,3-PD synthesis are also covered. Moreover, various genetic engineering methods utilized in order to improve the capabilities of bacteria used in this process are presented. 相似文献
