Effects of white-tailed deer on the population dynamics of acorns, seedlings and small saplings of Quercus buckleyi
(2004)To measure the effects of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) herbivory on seeds, seedlings, and young saplings of Quercus buckleyi on the eastern Edwards Plateau of central Texas, USA, experimental fenced ... -
Efficient generation and mapping of recessive developmental mutations using ENU mutagenesis
(Nature Publishing Group, 2002)Treatment with N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) efficiently generates single-nucleotide mutations in mice. Along with the renewed interest in this approach, much attention has been given recently to large screens with broad ... -
Endometrial hyperplasia and apoptosis following neonatal diethylstilbestrol exposure and subsequent estrogen stimulation in both host and transplanted hamster uteri
(American Association for Cancer Research, 1997-05-15)Prenatal exposure to the synthetic estrogen diethylstilbestrol (DES) causes morphogenetic alterations and neoplasia in the human reproductive tract. In the hamster, neonatal DES exposure alters early uterine morphogenesis ... -
ENU mutagenesis in the mouse
(John Wiley & Sons, 2004-02)This unit describes the treatment of laboratory mice with the mutagen N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) to achieve very highly induced rates of mutation throughout the genome. Further, it describes several popular mating schemes ... -
Equine lutropin and chorionic gonadotropin bear oligosaccharides terminating with SO4-4-GalNAc and Sia alpha 2,3Gal, respectively
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1993-01-15)Equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG) and lutropin (eLH) are heterodimeric glycoprotein hormones which are synthesized in the placenta and pituitary, respectively. The beta subunits of eCG and eLH, like their alpha subunits, ... -
Eremophygus bicolor (Gutiérrez) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae: Rutelini): a New Tribal and Generic Placement for the Bolivian Scarab Platycoelia bicolor (Gutiérrez) (Anoplognathini)
(The Coleopterists Society, 2001)Platycoelia bicolor (Gutiérrez) (Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae) is transferred from the tribe Anoplognathini, subtribe Platycoeliina, to the tribe Rutelini. Platycoelia bicolor is placed in the genus Eremophygus Ohaus and the ... -
Evaluating best management practices at an urban golf course
(John Wiley & Sons, 2002-05)This three-year study evaluated the effects of best management practices (BMPs) in reducing surface water contamination at an urban golf course. Water samples were collected before BMP implementation from two ponds on ... -
Evaluation of in vivo bioactivities of recombinant hypo- (FSH21/18) and fully- (FSH24) glycosylated human FSH glycoforms in Fshb null mice
(Elsevier, Ireland LTD, 2016-12-05)The hormone - specific FSH beta subunit of the human FSH heterodimer consists of N-linked glycans at Asn(7) and Asn(24) residues that are co-translationally attached early during subunit biosynthesis. Differences in the ... -
Evaluation of the genotoxic spectrum of cisplatin for Candida albicans
(University of Cambridge * Faculty Press, 1992)The platinum co-ordination complex cisplatin [cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II)] is a highly effective anticancer drug whose activity derives from its ability to form adducts crosslinking neighbouring purine bases in DNA. ... -
Evidence for two folding domains in glycoprotein hormone alpha-subunits
(The Endocrine Society, 1994-08)We reconstituted ovine (o) LH alpha from its amino- and carboxyl-terminal fragments obtained as follows. oLH alpha was nicked at Arg46-Ser47 with Arg-C protease. Nicked oLH alpha disulfide bonds were broken by sulfitolysis, ... -
Evolution and phylogeny of the scarab subtribe Anisopliina (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae: Anomalini)
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2007-04-20)The subtribe Anisopliina (Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae: Anomalini) is associated with grasses, and its species are distributed in the Palaearctic, Oriental, Ethiopian, Nearctic and Neotropical biogeographical regions. ... -
Evolutionary dynamics of the DNA-binding domains in putative R2R3-MYB genes identified from rice subspecies indica and japonica genomes
(American Society of Plant Biologists, 2004-02)The molecular evolution of the R2R3-MYB gene family is of great interest because it is one of the most important transcription factor gene families in the plant kingdom. Comparative analyses of a gene family may reveal ... -
Evolutionary patterns of asymmetric genitalia in the beetle tribe Cyclocephalini (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Dynastinae)
(The Netherlands Centre for Biodiversity Naturalis, University of Amsterdam, 2013-06-14)The evolution of asymmetric genitalia is a common and recurrent phenomenon in a wide variety of insect taxa. However, little is understood about the evolution of left-right asymmetry in reproductive structures. Since a ... -
An exception to Darwin's syndrome: floral position, protogyny, and insect visitation in Besseya bullii (Scrophulariaceae)
(1995)Darwin pointed out that plants with vertical inflorescences are likely to be outcrossed if the inflorescence is acropetalous (flowers from the bottom up), the flowers are protandrous (pollen is dispersed before stigmas ... -
Exogenous siRNAs against chitin synthase gene suppress the growth of the pathogenic fungus Macrophomina phaseolina
(Taylor and Francis, 2020-04-06)Macrophomina phaseolina:, causative agent of the charcoal rot disease, impacts over 500 plant species, causing devastating crop failures worldwide. Due to the lack of effective management approach, charcoal rot can result ... -
Experimental evidence that soil heterogeneity enhances plant diversity during community assembly
(Oxford University Press, 2014-10)Aims Environmental heterogeneity is a primary mechanism explaining species coexistence and extant patterns of diversity. Despite strong theoretical support and ample observational evidence, few experimental studies in ... -
