Rainbow trout cystatin C cDNA has been isolated from
trout liver. The full-length cystatin cDNA (674 bp)
included the 5'untranslated region and the polyadenylation
signal sequence AATAAA in the 3' region. Translation of
the cDNA defines 132 amino acid residues. Comparison of
the amino acid sequence with those of family...
Improved sensitive techniques were developed for the
determination of soluble proteins in grape, juice and wine.
These techniques which permitted direct sample analysis
without prior dialysis or concentration, were used for: 1)
characterization of heat unstable proteins, 2) evaluating
the effect of bentonite fining and ultrafiltration (UF) on
the soluble...
Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) is an emerging form of liver disease associated with obesity, type II diabetes and dyslipidemia. As the prevalence of these metabolic conditions increases, so too has the occurrence of NASH in all sectors of the population. The pathology of this disease is similar to its alcoholic form,...
Changes in the type and amount of plant inputs can occur gradually, as with succession, or rapidly, as with harvesting or wildfire. With global change it is anticipated that both gradual and immediate scenarios will occur at increasing frequency. Changes in vegetation inputs alter the quality and quantity of soil...
Flow homogenization, the removal of natural flow events such as floods and droughts, can be detrimental to the functioning of riverine habitats. In rivers with beaver (Castor canadensis), flow homogenization can facilitate unchecked beaver dam construction due to lack of dam removal from floods, leading to physical effects such as...
Serum-free mouse embryo (SFME) cells, which were derived
from 16-day-old Balb/c mouse embryo brain, grow in absence of
serum without losing genomic normality or proliferative
potential, and require epidermal growth factor (EGF) for
normal growth. EGF is a well studied mitogen that binds to a
specific receptor on the cell...
Hybrids with abnormal development were obtained when particular
genotypes of Phaseolus vulgaris L. were crossed. The phenotypic
aberrations of the F₁s included retarded growth, chlorosis of the
trifoliate leaves and the formation of adventitious roots on the
hypocotyls. The expression of the abnormalities was dependent on the
temperature. At high...
One of the biggest hurdles for a juvenile salmonid (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is migrating downstream from freshwater spawning grounds to the ocean. Juveniles from wild broodstock were reared from the South Santiam River for more than 1 year at the Oregon Hatchery Research Center (OHRC) in Alsea, OR. The fish were...

At weights of 81.5-90.5 kg, 187 prepuberal crossbred gilts were
subjected to specific environmental stimuli, for up to 17 days, to
determine which stimuli or combinations of various ones would initiate
onset of estrus in prepuberal gilts. The stimuli used were:
movement to new building, mixing or non-mixing of gilts,...
