Investigations of (1,3-Dimethyl-3-methylsilamethylene - disilacyclobutane) as a Single Source CVD Precursor to Silicon Carbide
The low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) of silicon carbide from (CH3)HSiCH2SiCH2 (CH3)CH2 SiH2 (CH 3) on Si(100) has been investigated between 700 and 1100°C at ca. 1.0 torr total pressure using a flow...

Changes in late-embryogenesis-abundant (LEA) messenger RNAs and dehydrins during maturation and premature drying ofRicinus communis L. seeds
InRicinus communis L. (castor bean) endosperms, two classes of Late Embryogenesis Abundant (Lea) transcripts were first detected during mid-development (at 30–35 days after pollination, DAP) and peaked at 50 DAP,...

An F-box gene linked to the self-incompatibility (S) locus of Antirrhinum is expressed specifically in pollen and tapetum
In many flowering plants, self-fertilization is prevented by an intraspecific reproductive barrier known as self-incompatibility (SI), that, in most cases, is controlled by a single multiallelic S locus. So far, ...
