The larval patterns of marine invertebrates pose intriguing questions for both evolutionary and developmental biologists. However, combined investigations have been rare. Quantitative models analyze the selective factors that drive evolutionary chang ...

Developmental patterns of embryonic heart rate were measured non-invasively in two procellariiform seabirds, the Laysan albatross (Diomedea immutabilis) and wedge-tailed shearwater (Puffinus pacificus), during pr ...

 Ledermanniella (c. 44 species) is the largest podostemoid genus in Africa. This paper deals with the structure and development of the Ghanaian species Ledermanniella bowlingii (J.B. Hall) C. C ...

Sequences of the nrDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region and the cpDNA trn L/ trn F intergenic spacer (IGS) region were analysed for 11 species of Chamaemelum Mill. and its related genera Cladanthus Cass., Mecomischus Coss. ex Benth., Rhetinol ...

How natural variation in embryo size affects patterning of the Drosophila embryo dorsal–ventral (DV) axis is not known. Here we examined quantitatively the relationship between nuclear distribution of the Dorsal transcr ...

Oxygen demand increases during embryonic development, requiring an increase in red blood cells (RBCs) containing hemoglobin (Hb) to transport O(2) between the respiratory organ and systemic tissues. A thorough ontogenetic understanding of the onset a ...

目的:研究皖南花猪不同发育阶段不同部位脂肪组织中脂联素(Adp)及其受体(AdpR1、AdpR2)和瘦素(leptin)mRNA的变化及性别差异。方法:选择出生、30、45、90、180日龄的皖南花猪雌、雄各5头,以β-actin为内标,采用△△Ct相对定量实时荧光PCR方法对皮下脂肪和肾周脂肪中Adp、AdpR1、AdpR2和leptin mRNA进行定量分析。结果:不同发育阶段皮下脂肪和肾周脂肪Adp、AdpR1、AdpR2、leptin mRNA的表达都有极显著差异(P<0.01)。 ...

随机选择出生30、45、90、180日龄的皖南花猪公母各5头,测定了11项血清生化指标.结果显示:血糖(GLU)、总胆固醇(TC)、高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(HDL-C)、游离脂肪酸(FFA)、脂联素(ADP)、瘦素(leptin)和IgG有极显著的发育性变化(P<0.01);而甘油三酯(TG)、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(LDL-C)、Iga和IgM等没有明显的发育性变化.母猪的TG、TC、HDL-C和IgM极显著或显著大于公猪(P<0.01或P<0.05),其他血清生化指标虽在总体上没有性别差异,但在有些 ...

In date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L. cv. Ahmar, Arecaceae), as for many monocotyledons, callogenesis is a prerequisite for the initiation of somatic embryogenesis, and requires the presence of auxin in t ...

【目的】草酸(Oxalic acid，OA)是灰霉菌(Botrytis cinerea)等植物致病菌的致病因子，一些木霉(Trichoderma spp.)生防菌可消除草酸并降低植物发病率，但其消除草酸防治病害的途径和机制尚未研究透彻。【方法】首先从42株木霉菌株中筛选出一株在30 mmol/L草酸胁迫下耐受性最强的哈茨木霉T. harzianum LTR-2，通过形态学方法观察和原位分析了不同浓度草酸胁迫下LTR-2的发育特征变化，并测定了草酸消除水平、滤液pH和菌丝干重，分析了LTR-2在草 ...
