Stothard, Paul, Arantes, Adriano S., Grant, Jason R.
Background Continued sequencing efforts coupled with advances in sequencing technology will lead to the completion of a vast number of small genomes. Whole-genome comparisons represent an important part of the analysis of any new genome sequence, as they can provide a better understanding of the...

Comparison of 2 enzyme immunoassays and a radioimmunoassay for measurement of progesterone concentrations in bovine plasma, skim milk, and whole milk
Download2008
Kastelic, John P., Small, Julie A., Ambrose, Divakar J., Colazo, Marcos G.
The objective of this study was to compare 2 enzyme immunoassays (EIAs) with a radioimmunoassay (RIA) as to sensitivity and accuracy in the measurement of the progesterone (P4) concentration in bovine plasma, skim milk, and whole milk. The 72 samples from 24 lactating dairy cows expected to have...

Competitive traits and the stability of wheat cultivars in differing natural weed environments on the northern Canadian prairies
Download2008
Mason, Heather E., Goonewardene, Laksiri A., Spaner, Dean
Nine spring wheat cultivars, selected on the basis of height, tillering capacity and maturity, were grown in differing levels of natural weed presence at three locations in Edmonton and New Norway, Alberta between 2003 and 2004. The objectives of the study were to (1) identify competitive traits...

Composition and correlation studies of fatty acids in seed oil of yellow sarson (Brassica campestris L.) cultivars and backcross derived zero erucic acid yellow sarson populations
Download1999-01-01
Rahman, M. H., Stølen, O., Rahman, L., Rahman, M. M.
The Yellow Sarson (Brassica campestris) cultivars of Bangladesh origin contain a high level (54%) of erucic fatty acid (C22:1). In the seeds of backcross derived zero-erucic acid Yellow Sarson populations, absence of erucic acid caused a simultaneous reduction in the content of arachidic (C20:0),...

Consequences of a low litter birth weight phenotype for postnatal lean growth performance and neonatal testicular morphology in the pig
Download2013
Foxcroft, George R., Chiarini-Garcia, Helio, Smit, M. N., Dyck, Michael K., Spencer, Joel D., Patterson, Jennifer L., Almeida, Fernanda R.
The consequences of a low litter average birth weight phenotype for postnatal growth performance and carcass quality of all progeny, and testicular development in male offspring, were investigated. Using data from 25 sows with one, and 223 sows with two consecutive farrowing events, individual...

Constitutive expression of the pea ABA-responsive (ABR17) cDNA confers multiple stress tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana
2006
Rahman, M. H., Srivastava, S., Shah, S., Kav, N. N. V.
The constitutive expression of the pea ABR17 (abscisic acid-responsive 17) cDNA, which is a member of the group 10 family of pathogenesis-related proteins (PR 10), in Arabidopsis thaliana is reported. The presence of ABR17 transcripts and the protein in the three transgenic lines is demonstrated...

Coordinated distributed experiments: An emerging tool for testing global hypotheses in ecology and environmental science
Download2013-01-01
Knapp, A. K., Collins, S. L., Turkington, R. , Long, R., White, S., Cahill, J. F., Carlyle, C. N., Beierkuhnlein, C., Luo, Y., Casper, B. B. Cleland, E., Lind, E., Smith, M. D., Henry, H. A. L., Dukes, J. S., Fraser, L. H., Reich, P. B., Sternberg, M.
There is a growing realization among scientists and policy makers that an increased understanding of today's environmental issues requires international collaboration and data synthesis. Meta-analyses have served this role in ecology for more than a decade, but the different experimental...

Cree women speak: Intergenerational perspectives on weight gain during pregnancy and weight loss after pregnancy
Download2008
Brennand, Erin A., Vallianatos, Helen, Dannenbaum, David, Petawabano, Beatrice, Raine, Kim, Willows, Noreen D., Stephen, Queenie
Obesity is prevalent among the First Nations population in Canada, with serious associated health risks. Recent studies also indicate that a high percentage of First Nations women are overweight or obese at the start of their pregnancies, with a tendency to retain weight after their children are...

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of prion protein bound to the Fab fragment of the POM1 antibody
Download2011
James, Michael N. G., Swayampakula, Mridula , Polymenidou, Magdalini , Kav, Nat N. V., Aguzzi, Adriano, Wieland, Barbara, Baral, Pravas K.
Prion diseases are neurodegenerative diseases that are characterized by the conversion of the cellular prion protein PrPc to the pathogenic isoform PrPsc. Several antibodies are known to interact with the cellular prion protein and to inhibit this transition. An antibody Fab fragment, Fab POM1,...

Kamiya, Nobuo , Tsujimoto, Gozoh, Kawano, Yoshiaki, Yaguma, Kouji, Guan, Leluo, Sugiura, Yukio, Matsumoto, Osamu
Crystals of the self-complementary oligonucleotide d(CCAGGCCTGG) [Heinemann & Alings (1989), J. Mol. Biol. 210, 369-381] complexed with the hydroperoxide of cobalt-pepleomycin (CoPEP) were obtained by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method at 298 K. An X-ray diffraction data set was collected...
