Genome-Wide Analysis and Evolutionary Perspective of the Cytokinin Dehydrogenase Gene Family in Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Cytokinin dehydrogenase (CKX; EC.1.5.99.12) regulates the level of cytokinin (CK) in plants and is involved in CK regulatory activities.In different plants, a small gene Architectural Art family encodes CKX proteins with varied numbers of members.These genes are expanded in the genome mainly due to segmental duplication events.Despite their biologi

Mutability and importance of a hypermutable cell subpopulation that produces stress-induced mutants in Escherichia coli.

In bacterial, yeast, and human cells, stress-induced mutation mechanisms are induced in growth-limiting environments and produce non-adaptive and adaptive mutations.These mechanisms may accelerate evolution specifically when cells are maladapted to their environments, i.e., when they Goalie - Goalie Mask - Senior are are stressed.One mechanism of s

Knowledge and attitudes about HIV infection and prevention of mother to child transmission of HIV in an urban, low income community in Durban, South Africa: Perspectives of residents and health care volunteers

Background: HIV prevalence is high among South African women of reproductive age and transmission of HIV from mothers to children is a concern.This study ascertained the level of knowledge about HIV infection and prevention, particularly prevention of mother to child transmission (PMTCT) amongst South African women from a low income community.It al
