Intramuscular fat (IMF) is known to enhance beef palatability and can be markedly increased by castration.However, there is little understanding of the molecular mechanism underlying the IMF deposition after castration of beef cattle.We hypothesize that genetic regulators function differently in IMF from bulls and steers.Therefore, after detecting
Self-incompatibility (SI) is a genetic mechanism that allows flowering plants to identify and block fertilization by self-pollen.In the Solanaceae, SI is controlled by a multiallelic S-locus encoding both S-RNases and F-box proteins as female and male determinants, respectively.S-RNase activity is essential for pollen rejection, and a minimum thres
Contemporary theories of problem-solving highlight that expertise is domainspecific, contingent on the social context and available resources, and Accessories - Bags - Other involvesknowledge, skills, attitudes, emotions and values.Developing educational activitiesthat incorporate all of these elements is a challenge.Through case studies,this paper
Cdk8 and its partner cyclin C form part of the mediator complex which links the basal transcription machinery to regulatory proteins.The pair are required for correct regulation of a subset of genes and have been implicated in control of development in a number of organisms including the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum.When feeding, Dictyost
