?-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a ubiquitous non-protein amino acid which accumulates rapidly in response to diverse environmental stresses. The GABA shunt is a pathway involving three enzymes, glutamate decarboxylase (GAD, ...

Plants can reorient their growth according to environmental cues such as light, water, nutrients, gravity etc. Shoots (hypocotyls and inflorescence stems) of the plants exhibit negative gravitropism. Germinating seeds are ...

Many adverse environmental conditions can affect the productivity and distribution of plant species. Low temperature is one of the most common stresses faced by many plants. Many plants are able to increase their freezing ...

Canine cyclic hematopoiesis (CH) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by 12-14 day neutrophil cycles, a diluted coat color, and platelet storage pool disease. Canine CH is caused by a mutation in AP3B1, encoding ...

Catfish is the major aquaculture species in the United States. To enhance genome studies involving linkage mapping, comparative mapping and linkage map and physical map integration, over 20,000 Bacterial Artificial Chromosome ...

Calmodulin and Ca2+ have been implicated in adaptation of plants to changes in its environment. Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis) genome has nine genetic loci encoding calmodulin protein isoforms. We have used wild type ...

Heat and drought are major factors that affect the annual cotton yield. Cotton farmers are always looking for plants that are more thermotolerant and drought tolerant to increase the yield. These characteristics can be ...
