In the chick, heart mesoderm is induced by signals from the anterior endoderm. Although
BMP-2 is expressed in the anterior endoderm, BMP activity is necessary but not sufficient for …

Loss-of-function, dominant-negative, and change-of-function genetic approaches were used
to investigate the role played by the Arabidopsis mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase …

TGF-β signaling plays a key role in induction of the Xenopus mesoderm and endoderm. Using
a yeast-based selection scheme, we isolated derrière, a novel TGF-β family member that …

An Arabidopsis thaliana mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase cascade composed of
MEKK1, MKK1/MKK2, and MPK4 was previously described as a negative regulator of defense …

Two routes to the synthesis of various norbornene containing amino acid derivatives are
described. The methodology also allows the preparation of the 7-oxonorbornene analogues …

TILLING (for Targeting Induced Local Lesions IN Genomes) is a well-established method for
identifying plants carrying point mutations in genes of interest. A traditional TILLING project …

Plants have a remarkable ability to alter their development in response to myriad environmental
cues or stress. This phenotypic plasticity allows them to continually adapt to their local …

BLUFF bodies placed in combustible high-speed flows are used to stabilize flames. Typical
applications for bluff-body stabilized flames include turbojet or turbofan afterburners in …

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes tens of millions of acute lower respiratory tract
infections and millions of hospital admissions globally each year. An antibody repertoire analysis …

The copolymerization of a series of peptide derived (meth)acrylate derivatives with methyl
methacrylate is reported. The resulting polymers are optically active and display a variety of …
