Several procedures for isolating ribosomes from the fat body
of female cockroaches are described and evaluated. The addition
of deoxycholate or Triton X-100 to the homogenizing medium rather
than to the postmitochondrial supernatant was an important factor
in improving the yield of ribosomes.
The fat body ribosomes were characterized and...
The conventional method for structural design of wood-joist
floors is over-simplified and often results in stronger and stiffer
floors than necessary. There is also a need to include in the floor
design additional criteria dealing with human response to floor vibration
such as that due to walking.
This study develops...
Experiments were conducted to determine the effects of
certain plant regulatory chemicals on seed production of
alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.). Two plant regulators, SADH
(succinic acid 2,2-dimethylhydrazide) and TIBA (2,3,5-
triiodobenzoic acid), received particular attention.
Replicated field tests of the plant regulators were
carried out on the cultivar 'Talent' in...
This book is an environmental primer for the people of the Willamette Valley. It sets forth basic principles showing how men's actions cause future consequences in the environment.
Glutamine synthetase activity is present in both the cytosol and
bacteroid fractions of soybean root nodules. Total activity measurements
indicate that at least 90% of the activity in nodules is located
in the cytosol. Results reported by McParland, et al. (29), showed
that many properties of glutamine synthetase from nodule...
