Rice variety differentiation was based on morphological descriptors (DUS) before the advent of genomic and proteomic technology.DNA fingerprinting is becoming an important molecular marker approach because of its wide application in varietal protection, classification, and conflict settlement.In the present study, genetic diversity and variability
Evaluation of two ozone air quality modelling systems
The aim of this paper is to compare two different modelling systems and to evaluate their ability to simulate high values of ozone concentration in typical summer episodes which take place in the north of Spain near the metropolitan area of Barcelona.As the focus of the paper is the comparison of the two systems, we do not attempt to improve the ag
Suppression of Tumorigenicity 5 Ameliorates Tumor Characteristics of Invasive Breast Cancer Cells via ERK/JNK Pathway
BackgroundSuppression of tumorigenicity 5 (ST5) has been considered as a tumor suppressor gene in HeLa tumor cells.However, its role in the progression of breast cancer remains vague.MethodsOnline database analysis was determined by Oncomine and Breast Cancer Gene-Expression Miner v4.4 (bc-GenExMiner v4.4).Tumor biology behaviors were measured by M
mGluR-dependent synaptic plasticity in drug-seeking.
A primary feature of drug addiction is the compulsive use despite negative consequences.A general consensus is emerging on the capacity of addictive substances to co-opt synaptic transmission and synaptic plasticity in brain circuits which are involved in reinforcement and reward processing.A current hypothesis is that drug-driven neuroadaptations
