BACKGROUND
The cytoplasmic domain of the Alzheimer's disease amyloid precursor protein (APP) is phosphorylated in vitro at Thr654 and Ser655, and both in vitro and in intact cells at Thr668… (More)
Crucifer vegetables are important cultivated crops and are widely grown in many parts of the world, including the highlands in most tropical countries. They are frequently attacked by a number of… (More)
Amyloid precursor-like proteins (APLPs), APLP1 and APLP2, are members of a gene family which include the Alzheimer beta-amyloid precursor protein (APP). APLP1, APLP2, and APP contain highly… (More)
Plant growth performance, the P content in root and nodule tissues, and nodulation and N2-fixing ability were studied in four provenances of Acacia mangium from Papua New Guinea following different… (More)
With the discovery of the larval parasitoid, Cotesia plutellae Kurdjumov, and the successful introduction and establishment of two other exotic parasitoid species, viz. Diadegma semiclausum Hellen… (More)
Soybean (Glycine max cv. Mikiwashima) seedlings were inoculated with two tropical isolates of the vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungusGlomus clarum (Gc); isolateGcA was isolated from soils of low… (More)
A survey of 35 legume species comprising 25 of Papilionoideae, 7 of Mimosoideae and 3 of Caesalpinioideae was made. Nodulation was found in all the species except for 2 (Caesalpinnia pulcherrima and… (More)
A preliminary study on soil and root-surface fungi is reported. Soil and root surface support slightly different mycoflora. Fungi encountered on the root surfaces of gramineous members also differ… (More)
The effect of nitrogen source on the aroma production of a strain of Trichoderma viride was investigated. The compound giving the culture its characteristic coconut-like aroma was identified as… (More)
