Leaf area is one of the most important parameter for plant growth. Reliable equations were offered to predict leaf area for
Zea mays L. cultivars. All equations produced for leaf area were derived as affected by leaf length and leaf width. As a result of
ANOVA and multiregression analysis, it was found that there was a close relationship between actual and predicted growth parameters.
The produced leaf-area prediction model in the present study is LA = a + b L + c W + d LZ where LA is leaf area, L is leaf
length, W is maximum leaf width, LZ is leaf zone and a, b, c, d are coefficients. R
2 values were between 0.88–0.97 and standard errors were found to be significant at the p<0.001 significance level. 相似文献

The present study was set to identify the members of An. maculipennis complex, which includes effective malaria vectors, throughout the Mediterranean region of Turkey using the second internal transcribed spacer of ribosomal DNA (rDNA-ITS2) sequences from 200 specimens. Resulting sequences of this complex from the Mediterranean region revealed the presence of three species belonging to the An. maculipennis complex, namely An. sacharovi, An. maculipennis s.s. and An. melanoon. The lengths of ITS2 region were 284, 294 and 306 bp in length for An. maculipennis s.s., An. melanoon and An. sacharovi respectively. While no sequence divergence was observed within any species, An. sacharovi was the most distantly related species from An. maculipennis s.s. and An. melanoon with a sequence divergence of 15.1% and 15.4%, respectively. While An. melanoon was the rare species, An. maculipennis s.s., was the most abundant and An. sacharovi was the most wide spread one. 相似文献

Utilization of spline functions for smoothing fermentation data and for estimation of specific rates
A response surface method of smoothing fermentation data with spline functions is presented. The available electron balance is used to optimally select the values of the smoothing parameters associated with the spline functions. The method is applied to six sets of anaerobic fermentation data in which pure and mixed cultures are grown in batch followed by fed batch culture. Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus are cultured on 3% dry milk. Measured concentrations of biomass, lactose, galactose, lactic acid, and other acid products are smoothed using spline functions. Values of specific growth rate, specific lactose consumption rate, specific galactose formation rate, and specific acid product formation rate are estimated and the consistency of the results is examined using the available electron balance. The results show that the method works reasonably well, but that an upper bound should be used for the smoothing parameters to obtain accurate estimates of the derivative quantities. 相似文献

Different biochemical pathways and cellular mechanisms play role in the pathogenesis of pulmonary hypertension (PH) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Alveolar hypoxia is not the only determinant of vascular remodeling, genetic factors are thought to have additive effects. We aimed to investigate the effects of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS A/B), angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE I/D) and serotonin transporter (5-HTT L/S) gene polymorphisms on development and severity of PH in COPD patients. 50 COPD patients without PH (group 1); 30 COPD patients with PH confirmed with echocardiography (group 2) and 49 healthy subjects (group 3) as control group were included to the study. eNOS A/B, ACE I/D and 5-HTT L/S gene polymorphisms and allele frequencies of COPD patients with and without PH and healthy subjects were determined. Functional parameters and echocardiographic measurements were recorded. Patients with PH were also assessed in two subgroups according to the severity of pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP). Significant differences among three groups in the distribution of 5-HTT genotype and allele frequency were present (respectively p = 0.002; p = 0.021). In group 2, LL and LS genotype rate was 93.3 % with a frequency of 71.2 % L allele and 28.3 % of S allele. 5-HTT LL genotype was present in 88.9 % of patients with PAP ≥50 mmHg significantly (p = 0.012). Other genotype distributions were not significantly different between two subgroups. The results of this study can suggest that COPD patients with L allele of 5-HTT may have higher risk for the development of PH and patients with LL genotype of 5-HTT may present higher PAP. We also demonstrated that eNOS and ACE gene polymorphisms were not associated with the development and severity of PH in our study population. Further studies with larger numbers of patients are needed to explore these relationships. 相似文献

Vibrio spp. is a pathogen rarely isolated in cancer patients, and in most cases it is associated with haematological diseases. Cutaneous manifestations of this organism are even rarer. We report a case of Non-O1 Vibrio cholerae inguinal skin and soft tissue infection presenting bullous skin lesions in a young type II diabetic patient with a penis squamous cell carcinoma having a seawater exposure history. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to investigate structural and biochemical changes in testes of rats treated with the thiosemicarbazone derivative thiazole ring Schiff base, (4-(1-phenyl-methylcyclobutane-3-yl)-2-(2-hydroxybenzylidene-hydrazino) thiazole (L), and its Cd(II) complex (CdL(2)). The animals were divided into three groups. Group I was designated as control. The rats in groups II and III were injected subcutaneously with L or CdL(2) respectively at 150-mg kg(-1) doses at 3-day intervals for 15 days. At the end of the study, blood samples were collected for biochemical analysis, and testes were removed for histological examinations. Serum levels of vitamin A, E and MDA of the L-injected group were similar to the control group. While CdL(2) treatment decreased serum vitamin A and E levels, it increased the MDA level compared to other groups. Histologically, the testes structures of L-treated animals were similar to the control. Spermatogenic cells in seminiferous tubules of CdL(2)-treated animals displayed necrosis. Nuclei of spermatogonia and primary spermatocytes were pyknotic and heterochromatic. Homogenous pink particles were present in place of the spermatids. The interstitial areas were oedematous and intertubular vessels were plugged. In conclusion, the present results indicate that L does not cause biochemical and morphological alterations, but its Cd(II) complex has degenerative effects in normal rat testes. 相似文献

Yeasts are important microorganisms used for ethanol production; however, they are not equally efficient in the amount of ethanol production under different environmental conditions. It is, therefore, necessary to screen for elite strains to utilize them for commercial production of these commodities. In this study, yeasts were isolated from different Ethiopian traditional fermented alcoholic beverages (teji, tella, shamiata and areqe tinisis), milk and ergo, teff and maize dough, soil and compost, flowers, and fruits to evaluate their potential use for ethanol fermentation process. Isolates were screened for efficient ethanol production and the selected ones were identified using phenotypic and genetic characters using D1/D2 region of LSU rDNA sequence analysis. The yeast isolates were evaluated based on their growth and fermentation of different carbon sources. Response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to optimize temperature, pH and incubation time using central composite design (CCD) in Design-Expert 7.0.0. A total of 211 yeasts colonies were isolated of which 60% were ethanologenic yeasts (ethanol producers) and 40% were non-ethanol producers. The yeast population detected from various sources was in the range of 105 CFU from traditional foods and beverages to that of 103 CFU from fruits and soil samples. The data also showed that the number of colony types (diversity) did not correlate with population density. The highly fermentative isolates were taxonomically characterized into four genera, of which 65% of the isolates (ETP37, ETP50; ETP53, ETP89, ETP94) were categorized under Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and the remaining were Pichia fermentans ETP22, Kluyveromyces marxianus ETP87, and Candida humilis ETP122. The S. cerevisiae isolates produced ethanol (7.6-9.0 g/L) similar with K. marxianus ETP87 producing 7.97 g/L; comparable to the ethanol produced from commercial baker's yeast (8.43 g/L) from 20 g/L dextrose; whereas C. humilis ETP122 and P. fermentans ETP22 produced 5.37 g/L and 6.43 g/L ethanol, respectively. S. cerevisiae ETP53, K. marxianus ETP87, P. fermentans ETP22 and C. humilis ETP122 tolerated 10% extraneous ethanol but the percentage of ethanol tolerance considerably decreased upon 15%. S. cerevisiae ETP53 produced ethanol optimally at pH 5.0, 60 h, and 34oC. pH 4.8, temperature 36oC, and 65 h of time were optimal growth conditions of ethanol fermentation by K. marxianus ETP87. The ethanol fermentation conditions of P. fermentans ETP22 was similar to S. cerevisiae ETP53 though the ethanol titer of S. cerevisiae ETP53 was higher than P. fermentans ETP22. Therefore, S. cerevisiae ETP53, K. marxianus and P. fermentans ETP22 are good candidates for ethanol production. 相似文献

Group II activators of G-protein signaling play diverse functional roles through their interaction with Gαi, Gαt, and Gαo via a G-protein regulatory (GPR) motif that serves as a docking site for Gα-GDP. We recently reported the regulation of the AGS3-Gαi signaling module by a cell surface, seven-transmembrane receptor. Upon receptor activation, AGS3 reversibly dissociates from the cell cortex, suggesting that it may function as a signal transducer with downstream signaling implications, and this question is addressed in the current report. In HEK-293 and COS-7 cells expressing the α2A/D-AR and Gαi3, receptor activation resulted in the translocation of endogenous AGS3 and AGS3-GFP from the cell cortex to a juxtanuclear region, where it co-localized with markers of the Golgi apparatus (GA). The agonist-induced translocation of AGS3 was reversed by the α2-AR antagonist rauwolscine. The TPR domain of AGS3 was required for agonist-induced translocation of AGS3 from the cell cortex to the GA, and the translocation was blocked by pertussis toxin pretreatment or by the phospholipase Cβ inhibitor . Agonist-induced translocation of AGS3 to the GA altered the functional organization and protein sorting at the trans-Golgi network. The regulated movement of AGS3 between the cell cortex and the GA offers unexpected mechanisms for modulating protein secretion and/or endosome recycling events at the trans-Golgi network. U73122相似文献

Recently, circulating miRNAs have been reported as promising biomarkers for various pathologic conditions including cancer. Certain microRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown early diagnostic potential for many types of cancer. The objective of this study was to investigate the potential of certain serum/plasma miRNAs as novel non-invasive biomarkers for early diagnosis of hepatitis B virus (HBV) related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). For this reason, the expression levels of 24 miRNA (let-7c, miR-92a-3p, 423-5p, 150-5p, 223-3p, 125b-5p, 342-3p, miR-206, 122-5p, 375, 223-5p, 10a-5p, 23b-5p, 99a-5p, 23a-5p, 10a-3p, 122-3p, 125b-1-3p, 23b-3p, 125b-2-3p, 23a-3p, 92a-1-5p, 92a-2-5p, 99a-3p) were analyzed in plasma of patients with chronic hepatitis B, HBV-positive cirrhosis and HBV-positive HCC and compared with control group samples. Totally 94 plasma samples; 28 control and 66 patient plasma (24 CHB, 22 HBV-positive cirrhosis, 20 HBV-positive HCC) and were included in this study. The expression levels of 24 miRNAs were detected for all control and patient group plasma samples by qRT-PCR using BioMark? 96.96 Dynamic Array (Fluidigm Corporation) system. The expression levels of miR-125b-5p were detected 2.85 fold, 2.46 fold and 1.89 fold (p = 0.01513, p = 0.0009440, p = 0.0001446) up regulated in CHB, HBV-positive cirrhosis and HBV-positive HCC, respectively when compared versus control group individually by Mann–Whitney U test. The expression levels of miR-223-3p were detected 5.55 fold, 13.88 fold and 12.65 fold (p = 0.01513, p = 0.0009440, p = 0.0001446) down regulated in same comparisons. When all groups were compared versus control group by one-way ANOVA test, the expression levels of miR-223-3p were also found statistically significant (p < 0.05). Although not statistically significant, miR-125b-5p tended to be upregulated. (p = 0.07192). These results significantly imply that miR-125b-5p and miR223-3p could be used as novel non-invasive biomarkers of HBV-positive HCC in very early, even at CHB stage of liver disease. 相似文献
