X-ray Diffraction Study of MgB2 at Low Temperatures
We have performed powder X-ray diffraction of MgB2 superconductor between 10 and 300 K. Temperature dependence of integrated intensities of both (002) and (110) X-ray reflections shows a peak at around TC, superc...

Genetic variation of petaloid male-sterile cytoplasm of carrots revealed by sequence-tagged sites (STSs)
The mitochondrial DNA of various carrot lines was characterized by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis, and six sequence-tagged sites (STSs) led to identification of the petaloid type of cytoplasm...
