Despite the importance and wide exploitation of heterosis in commercial crop breeding, the
molecular mechanisms behind this phenomenon are not well understood. Interestingly, there …

In this study, we found a single quantitative trait locus for photosystem II efficiency (ΦPSII) in
the Arabidopsis Ler-0 x Col-0 recombinant inbred line population. This locus on …

A complex phenotype such as seed germination is the result of several genetic and
environmental cues and requires the concerted action of many genes. The use of well-structured …

Gene expression differences between individuals within a species can be largely explained
by differences in genetic background. The effect of genetic variants (alleles) of genes on …

Objective Identify gene expression profiles associated with OA processes in articular cartilage
and determine pathways changing during the disease process. Methods Genome wide …

We present an update of the clinical and radiological results of 62 consecutive acetabular
revisions using impacted morsellised cancellous bone grafts and a cemented acetabular …

In this study the kinetic parameters have been established for the esterification of tartaric
acid with ethanol. Both concentration-based as well as activity-based reaction rate constants …

A method for the determination of the hydrophobicity of membrane materials is developed.
The advantage of this method over existing methods is that it is not influenced by the …

Background and Aims The ability to avoid drought-induced embolisms in the xylem is one of
the essential traits for plants to survive periods of water shortage. Over the past three …

Commercially available superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION) of 12 nm are
characterized with respect to their physical, magnetic, and heating properties in an …
