We investigated the effects of elevated pCO₂ on cultures of the unicellular N₂-fixing cyanobacterium Crocosphaera watsonii
WH8501. Using CO₂-enriched air, cultures grown in batch mode under high light intensity were exposed to initial conditions
approximating current atmospheric CO₂ concentrations (~400 ppm) as well as CO₂ levels corresponding to low- and...

Forest ecosystems of the Pacific Northwest of the USA are changing as a result of climate change. Specifically, rise of global temperatures, decline of winter precipitation, earlier loss of snowpack, and increased summer drought are altering the range of Pinus contorta. Simultaneously, flux in environmental conditions within the historic P....

Simulations from a regional climate model (RCM) as part of a superensemble experiment were compared with observations of surface meteorological variables over the western United States. The RCM is the Hadley Centre Regional Climate Model, version 3, with improved physics parameterizations (HadRM3P) run at 25-km resolution and nested within the...

Evaluation of a Regional Climate
BACKGROUND: Cell lineage-specific DNA methylation patterns distinguish normal human leukocyte subsets and can
be used to detect and quantify these subsets in peripheral blood. We have developed an approach that uses DNA
methylation to simultaneously quantify multiple leukocyte subsets, enabling investigation of immune modulations
in virtually any blood sample including...

The soil bacterium Pseudomonas protegens Pf-5 can colonize root and seed surfaces of many plants, protecting them from infection by plant pathogenic fungi and oomycetes. The capacity to suppress disease is attributed to Pf-5's production of a large spectrum of antibiotics, which is controlled by complex regulatory circuits operating at...

N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are calcium-permeable ion channels
assembled from four subunits that each have a common membrane topology. The
intracellular carboxyl terminal domain (CTD) of each subunit varies in length, is least
conserved between subunits, and binds multiple intracellular proteins. We defined a
region of interest in the GluN2A CTD,...

Pseudomonas protegens strain Pf-5 is a rhizosphere bacterium that suppresses soilborne plant diseases and produces at least seven different secondary metabolites with antifungal properties. We derived mutants of Pf-5 with single and multiple mutations in biosynthesis genes for seven antifungal metabolites: 2,4-diacetylphoroglucinol (DAPG), pyrrolnitrin, pyoluteorin, hydrogen cyanide, rhizoxin, orfamide A,...
