Depending on their sizes, stems were aligned in parallel and embedded in 1% agarose in PBS to include multiple biological replicates in the same resin block. Samples were then processed through increasing dehydration steps (25%, 50%, 70%, 90%, 96%, 3× 100% ethanol, vacuum 20 inHg, ...
The polymerized resin block was also used for microCT (SkyScan 1272, Bruker) imaging, and the microCT data were processed using Amira (v.2020.3) software. Lignin content and composition determination Samples were ground, lyophilized and extracted successively with chloroform/methanol (2:1, v/v)...
The top side of the U-frame is larger (30 mm) that the cover slot in order to block the frame. It bears a hole in its middle, designed to insert an Araponics seed holder (http://www.araponics.com/) and supports the aerial rosette. Rhizoponics blueprints and 3D files are ...
2001). Extracellular chitinases quickly block the spreading of the hyphae that invade internal areas. It also helps to release fungal elicitors that induce the synthesis of several other chitinases inside the host (Stangarlin and Pascholati 2000). Unlike other plant proteins, PR proteins are ...
(LCAD) as well as the protein levels of pHSL and ATGL, to promote lipolysis in mature 3T3-L1 adipocytes [212]. Total triterpenoids and total flavonoids in sword bean have been revealed to improve serum lipid profiles, body weight, blood glucose and antioxidant indexes [213,214]. Moreover,...
hydroxylase; F5H, ferulate-5-hydroxylase; CAD, cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase. Full size image The relatively high lignin content (∼15%) in jute fibre makes it coarser than other bast fibres such as flax and ramie (<5% lignin)30. Among the lignin biosynthetic genes detected in theC. ...
Although initially and extensively studied in the context of apoptosis, caspases are increasingly considered as versatile molecular switch controlling different cellular outcomes. In particular, inhibition of caspase-8 not only fails to block cell death, but also causes inflammatory lytic cell death by ...
Control block diagram of step-wise inertial response based on TOP Once the rotor speed slows down to a low value, e.g.,ωmin, the overproduction process is terminated and the active power set point is reduced by a constant ΔPup, so that the electrical power output is smaller than availab...

Test II involved 175 plants (7 genotypes) planted as a randomized block in experimental plots at Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, Va. Leaf material is harvested at various times during the growing season (including just prior to and 2 weeks following routine topping of the plants) to determine field...
