Background
The genetic control of floral organ specification is currently being investigated by various approaches, both experimentally and through modeling. Models and simulations have mostly involved boolean or related methods, and so far a quantitative, continuous-time approach has not been explored. 相似文献13.

Direct measurement of the nonapeptide vasopressin has been limited by analyte instability ex vivo and in vivo rapid degradation, low serum concentrations requiring a sensitive assay and inherent secretory pulsatility. Copeptin is a 39 amino acid glycopeptide cleavage product of vasopressin synthesis with high stability, providing a marker of vasopressin secretion. Copeptin measurement has applications in diagnosis of diabetes insipidus and other diseases with altered vasopressin secretion. This review summarises our current understanding of serum copeptin measurement in diabetes insipidus and possible future applications of copeptin assays. As vasopressin is a stress hormone, there is emerging evidence on the use of copeptin for diagnosis and prognostication of disorders such as syndrome of inappropriate anti-diuretic hormone secretion, diabetes mellitus, critical illness, stroke, cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, renal disease and thermal stress. Copeptin concentration measurement is likely to improve the diagnostic reliability of diabetes insipidus and, as a marker of stress, may have diagnostic or prognostic utility in specific clinical circumstances. Further studies are needed to determine if goal-directed therapy using plasma copeptin concentrations may improve patient outcomes. 相似文献

The aim of the study was to evaluate anthropometric characteristics as determinants of 500 m rowing ergometer performance in physically inactive collegiate females. In this cross-sectional study, which included 196 collegiate females aged 19-23 years not participating in regular physical activities, body mass (BM), body height (BH), length of upper limbs (LA), length of lower limbs (LL), body mass index (BMI), slenderness index (SI), and the Choszcz-Podstawski index (CPI) were measured and a stepwise multiple regression analysis was performed. Participants performed 500 m maximal effort on a Concept II rowing ergometer. BM, BH, LA, LL, and the BMI, SI and CPI indices were found to be statistically significant determinants of 500 m performance. The best results (T) were achieved by females whose BH ranged from 170 to 180 cm, with LA and LL ranging from 75 to 80 cm and 85 to 90 cm, respectively. The best fitting statistical model was identified as: T = 11.6793 LR – 0.1130 LR2 – 0.0589 LN2 + 29.2157 CPI2 + 0.1370 LR·LN - 2.6926 LR·CPI – 211.7796. This study supports a need for additional studies focusing on understanding the importance of anthropometric differences in rowing ergometer performance, which could lead to establishing a better quality reference for evaluation of cardiorespiratory fitness tested using a rowing ergometer in collegiate females. 相似文献

Evolution at the tip and base of the X chromosome in an African population of Drosophila melanogaster 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Hitchhiking effects of advantageous mutations have been invoked to explain
reduced polymorphism in regions of low crossing-over in Drosophila. Besides
reducing DNA heterozygosity, hitchhiking effects should produce strong
linkage disequilibrium and a frequency spectrum skewed toward an excess of
rare polymorphisms (compared to the neutral expectation). We measured DNA
polymorphism in a Zimbabwe population of D. melanogaster at three loci,
yellow, achaete, and suppressor of forked, located in regions of reduced
crossing-over. Similar to previously published surveys of these genomic
regions in other populations, we observed low levels of nucleotide
variability. However, the frequency spectrum was compatible with a neutral
model, and there was abundant evidence for recombination in the history of
the yellow and ac genes. Thus, some aspects of the data cannot be accounted
for by a simple hitchhiking model. An alternative hypothesis, background
selection, might be compatible with the observed patterns of linkage
disequilibrium and the frequency spectrum. However, this model cannot
account for the observed reduction in nucleotide heterozygosity. Thus,
there is currently no satisfactory theoretical model for the data from the
tip and base of the X chromosome in D. melanogaster.

Oligogalacturonic acids (OGAs), derived from plant cell wall pectin, have
been implicated in a number of signal transduction pathways involved in
growth, development and defense responses of higher plants. This study
investigates the size range of OGAs capable of inducing ethylene synthesis
in tomato plants, and demonstrates that in contrast with many other
effects, only short chain OGAs are active. Oligomers across a range of DP
from 2-15 were separated and purified to homogeneity by QAE-Sephadex anion
exchange chromatography using a novel elution system. The OGAs were applied
to tomato plants and assayed for their ability to induce ethylene gas
release and changes in steady state levels of mRNA encoding the ethylene
forming enzyme aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid oxidase (ACO). The study
demonstrated that only OGAs in the size range of DP4-6 were active both in
eliciting ACO expression and in the production of ethylene.
