Spring ephemeral herbs and nitrogen cycling in a northern hardwood forest: an experimental test of the vernal dam hypothesis
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 2000-08)
In the late 1970s R.N. Muller and F.H. Bormann posited their ”vernal dam” hypothesis, stating that spring-ephemeral herbs in deciduous forests serve as a temporary sink for N when overstory trees are dormant, and then ...
Improving estimates of genetic maps: a meta-analysis-based approach
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2007-07)
Inaccurate genetic ( or linkage ) maps can reduce the power to detect linkage, increase type I error, and distort haplotype and relationship inference. To improve the accuracy of existing maps, I propose a meta-analysis-based ...
Comparative proteomic study of two closely related ovarian endometrioid adenocarcinoma cell lines using cIEF fractionation and pathway analysis
(WILEY-VCH Verlag, 2009-04)
The proteomic profiles from two distinct ovarian endometrioid tumor-derived cell lines, (MDAH-2774 and TOV-112D) each with different morphological characteristics and genetic mutations, have been studied. Characterization ...
Development of adenovirus immobilization strategies for in situ gene therapy
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2008-10)
Background Regenerative gene therapy using viral vectors enables transduced cells to express bioactive factors in vivo . Viral delivery with spatial control can enhance transduction efficiency and may limit systemic ...
Performance of a generalist grasshopper on a C 3 and a C 4 grass: compensation for the effects of elevated CO 2 on plant nutritional quality
(Springer-Verlag, 2004-06)
The increasing CO 2 concentration in Earth’s atmosphere is expected to cause a greater decline in the nutritional quality of C 3 than C 4 plants. As a compensatory response, herbivorous insects may increase their feeding ...
Analysis of the Late Steps of Exocytosis: Biochemical and Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence Microscopy (TIRFM) Studies
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, Inc., 2006-04-20)
1. Time with Julie in his laboratory at the NIH in the early 1970s is remembered. The experience led to a life-long interest in the regulation of catecholamine secretion. Here are summarized aspects of this work.
Letter to the Editor: The C-terminal Domain of Viral IAP Associated Factor (cVIAF) is a Structural Homologue of Phosducin: Resonance Assignments and Secondary Structure of the C-Terminal Domain of VIAF
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2004-02)
Generation of Phenylpropanoid Pathway-Derived Volatiles in Transgenic Plants: Rose Alcohol Acetyltransferase Produces Phenylethyl Acetate and Benzyl Acetate in Petunia Flowers
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer, 2006-03)
Esters are important contributors to the aroma of numerous flowers and fruits. Acetate esters such as geranyl acetate, phenylethyl acetate and benzyl acetate are generated as a result of the action of alcohol acetyltransferases ...
Ontogeny of central serotonergic neurons in the directly developing frog, Eleutherodactylus coqui
(Springer-Verlag, 2005-10)
Embryonic development of the central serotonergic neurons in the directly developing frog, Eleutherodactylus coqui , was determined by using immunocytochemistry. The majority of anuran amphibians (frogs) possess a larval ...
Fungal community composition and metabolism under elevated CO 2 and O 3
(Springer-Verlag, 2006-02)
Atmospheric CO 2 and O 3 concentrations are increasing due to human activity and both trace gases have the potential to alter C cycling in forest ecosystems. Because soil microorganisms depend on plant litter as a source ...
