Chow and Liu showed that the maximum likelihood tree for multivariate discrete distributions may be found using a maximum
weight spanning tree algorithm, for example Kruskal's algorithm. The efficiency of the algorithm makes it tractable for high-dimensional
problems. 相似文献
The activity of cotyledon and embryo diamine oxidase was reduced by feeding ethrel and chloroethanol to the seedlings. The inhibitory effect of 2,4-D on the activity of enzyme in the cotyledon which may be mediated through ethylene was reversed by exposure of seeds to red light. 相似文献
Summary A recirculated packed bed batch reactor has been designed for the production of 6-aminopenicillanic acid. It was observed that the flow rate of penicillin G solution is a rate limiting step for its hydrolysis. Under the conditions used, the maximum rate of hydrolysis of penicillin G was observed at a flow rate of 3.0 L/min. 相似文献
α-Galactosidase from Vicia faba seeds has been resolved into three molecular forms, I, II1 and II2, respectively. Enzyme I is a tetramer (Mr 160 000) consisting of identical sub-units (Mr 44000 ± 2000). All three forms display lectin activity with glucose/mannose specificity. Enzyme I has been further studied with respect to its lectin specificity and various factors affecting this property. The results indicate that the catalytic and the lectin sites reside in the same protein molecule. The results presented are unique in that the enzyme activity is specific for galactose and its lectin activity is specific for glucose/mannose. 相似文献
Summary The effect of methallibure (ICI 33,828) on the pituitary-gonad and the pituitary-thyroid axes of the Indian garden lizard, Calotes versicolor was studied. Following administration of methallibure B2 (FSH) and B3 (ICSH) cells of the pars distalis exhibited significant alterations with concomitant changes in the seminiferous tubules, and in the interstitial cells and epididymis respectively. B1 (TSH) cells exhibited conspicuous hypertrophy and degranulation which was reflected in dramatic changes in thyroid morphology. The caudally localized acidophilic A1 (PRL) cells also showed hypertrophy, hyperplasia and intense granulation. The rostrally located A2 (STH) acidophils and the B4 (ACTH) cells were unaffected by the treatment. The possible mode of action of this drug is discussed in the light of available literature.Supported by a grant from the University Grants Commission of India. The generous supply of methallibure by Dr. A.L. Walpole of the Imperial Chemical Industries Limited, England, through Professor C.J. Dominic, Banaras Hindu University, is gratefully acknowledged 相似文献
Normal mode frequencies have been calculated for single-stranded beta 4.4 and beta 6.3 and for double-stranded increases decreases beta 5.6, increases decreases beta 7.2, increases increases beta 5.6, and increases increases beta 7.2 helices that are possible models for the structure of gramicidin A. The force field used in the calculations is one that reproduces the frequencies of model polypeptide chain structures to about +/- 5 cm-1, and is therefore expected to provide meaningful distinctions between these conformations. The calculations predict significant differences in the infrared and Raman spectra of these beta-helices, suggesting that they should be identifiable from their spectra (which is shown in the following paper to be the case). The most sensitive region is that of the amide I frequencies, where the predicted patterns of intense infrared mode, infrared splittings, and intense Raman mode provide a characteristic identification of each of the above structures. 相似文献
A sequence-tagged-site (STS) marker is reported linked to Lr28, a leaf rust resistance gene in wheat. RAPD (random amplified polymorphic DNA) analysis of near-isogenic lines (NILs) of
Lr28 in eight varietal backgrounds was carried out using random primers. Genomic DNA enriched for low-copy sequences was used
for RAPD analysis to overcome the lack of reproducibility due to the highly repetitive DNA sequences present in wheat. Of
80 random primers tested on the enriched DNA, one RAPD marker distinguished the NILs and the donor parent from the susceptible
recurrent parents. The additional band present in resistant lines was cloned, sequenced, and STS primers specific for Lr28 were designed. The STS marker (Indian patent pending: 380 Del98) was further confirmed by bulk segregation analysis of F3 families. It was consistently present in the NILs, the resistant F3 bulk and the resistant F3 lines, but was absent in recurrent parents, the susceptible F3 bulk and the susceptible F3 lines.

Diversity and phylogenetic relationship between four closely related Salacia species, i.e., Salacia chinensis, Salacia macrosperma, Salacia fruticosa and Salacia oblonga, collected from the Western Ghats of Karnataka, India, was assessed. Ten each of RAPD and ISSR primers generated a total of 76 and 68 loci, generating polymorphisms of 92.21 and 89.71%, respectively. Maximum likelihood analysis of the ITS sequences revealed three clades. Dendrogram analyses of RAPD and ISSR revealed two and four clusters, respectively. Overall polymorphism revealed by RAPD was 41.45?±?10%, ISSR was 33.58?±?6.52%, and ITS was 25.50?±?17.25%. Molecular variance revealed significant variance within and among the Salacia species. Tajima’s D neutrality test and Fu’s Fs were negative for all four species, implying presences of rare alleles and population expansion. Comparative study of RAPD, ISSR and ITS for Salacia species has given an insight into the efficiency of each technique in detecting diversity within and among the population sampled in the Western Ghats of Karnataka.
