    A pair of floral regulators sets critical day length for Hd3a florigen expression in rice

    Takeshi Izawa and colleagues report that the rice florigen gene Hd3a, which triggers photoperiodic flowering, is toggled by a 30-minute change in day length. They report that Hd3a transcription is controlled by t...

    GIBBERELLIN INSENSITIVE DWARF1 encodes a soluble receptor for gibberellin

    Gibberellins (GAs) are phytohormones that are essential for many developmental processes in plants. It has been postulated that plants have both membrane-bound and soluble GA receptors; however, no GA receptor...

    A Rice Semi-Dwarf Gene, Tan-Ginbozu (D35), Encodes the Gibberellin Biosynthesis Enzyme, ent-Kaurene Oxidase

    A rice (Oryza sativa L.) semi-dwarf cultivar, Tan-Ginbozu (d35 Tan-Ginbozu ), contributed to the increase in crop productivity in Japan in the 1950s. Previous studies suggested ...

    Two Rice GRAS Family Genes Responsive to N-Acetylchitooligosaccharide Elicitor are Induced by Phytoactive Gibberellins: Evidence for Cross-Talk Between Elicitor and Gibberellin Signaling in Rice Cells

    In this study, we present data showing that two members of the GRAS family of genes from rice, CIGR1 and CIGR2(chitin-inducible gibberellin-responsive), inducible by the potent elicitor N-acetylchitooligosacchari...

    Genetic manipulation of gibberellin metabolism in transgenic rice

    The 'green revolution' was fueled by the introduction of the semi-dwarf trait into cereal crop cultivars. The semi-dwarf cultivars—which respond abnormally to the plant growth hormone gibberellin (GA)—are more...

    Two-stage thermal gasification of polyolefins

    Plastic pellets of polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polystyrene (PS) were gasified in a two-stage thermal degradation process. The first stage is the conversion of polyolefins to distilled oils using...

    Comparison of Respiratory Sparing Effect on Pancuronium, Vecuronium and Rocuronium in Rats in Vivo

    Respiratory muscles are more resistant to the action of muscle relaxants (MRs) such as pancuronium (PAN) than peripheral muscles, and this concept has been called respiratory sparing effect (RSE). Regarding to...
