GENOME-WIDE IDENTIFICATION AINTEGUMENTA-LIKE (AIL) GENES IN BRASSICA SPECIES AND EXPRESSION PATTERNS DURING REPRODUCTIVE DEVELOPMENT IN BRASSICA NAPUS L.

The AINTEGUMENTA-like (AIL) proteins, which belong to the AP2 family, play important roles in regulating the growth and development of plant organs.The AIL family has not yet been comprehensively studied in rapeseed (Brassica napus), an allotetraploid and model organism for the study of polyploid evolution.In the present study, 99 AIL family genes

Depletion of alloreactive T-lymphocytes from allogeneic bone marrow tansplants may prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) without impairing donor cell engraftment, immunity, and the graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effect.Alloreactive T-cells may be identified by their expression, upon activation, of CD137, a costimulatory receptor and putative surrog

Abstract Background The evolutionary importance of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) from Wolbachia endosymbiotic bacteria to their eukaryotic hosts is a topic of considerable interest and debate.Recent transfers of genome fragments from Wolbachia into insect chromosomes have mcclelland reclining sofa been reported, but it has been argued that these f

Objective: The purpose of this report is to present our experience in laparoscopic pelvic floor repair using polypropylene mesh for the treatment of advanced vaginal vault prolapse and enterocele.Materials and Methods: A total of 40 patients with Baden-Walker System grade 3 or 4 vaginal vault prolapse and concurrent enterocele were recruited.Twenty
