Normal human skin fibroblast cells were used to study the effect
of zinc supplementation of the media on cell growth and the competitive
binding activity of low density lipoprotein (LDL). Cells were
grown in the media containing Dulbecco's Modified-Eagle Medium (DMEM),
5% (v/v) fetal calf serum (FCS), and various levels...
Three Oregon snap beans were tested for photoperiodic
response on the basis of their overall flowering
patterns. Oregon 1604 and Oregon 4848 showed the same
cumulative flowering curves and percent pod set under
both 11 hour SD and 16 hour LD photoperiods. Under SD,
Oregon 2065 produced a similar flowering...
The benthic amphipod Corophium salmonis was sampled seasonally from two sites (Desdemona Sands and Grays Bay) in the Columbia River estuary.
