Mechanisms of action of pH-induced effects on vascular smooth muscle
It is clear that pH has many effects on vascular smooth muscle and the overall action of pH on force will depend on the type of vascular smooth muscle in question and the combined effects on all the potential ...

Breeding Bird Assemblages and Habitat Use of Alpine Areas in Scotland
‘Where a species is adapted to a particular habitat, its distribution limits will tend to be circumscribed by whatever conditions restrict the occurrence of that habitat, but these conditions may vary over the...

Protein-phosphatase inhibitors block root hair growth and alter cortical cell shape of Arabidopsis roots
Emerging evidence suggests that protein phosphatases play an important role in the growth and development of higher plants. We report here on the effects of okadaic acid and calyculin-A, two specific and poten...

β-Methyl carboline, a benzodiazepine inverse agonist, attenuates the effect of triazolam on the circadian rhythm of locomotor activity
The benzodiazepine triazolam, the benzodiazepine inverse agonist, β-methyl carboline (β-CCM) or both, were administered to adult male hamsters under conditions of constant light. When given alone, triazolam in...

Effects of anaerobiosis on root metabolism of Zostera marina (eelgrass): implications for survival in reducing sediments
The temperate seagrass Zostera marina L. typically grows in highly reducing sediments. Photosynthesis-mediated O2 supplied to below-ground tissues sustains aerobic respiration during photosynthetic periods. Roots...

Seed banks: a useful tool in conservative plant evaluation and exploitation
Throughout the world, much time and money is spent assembling seed collections for evaluation in field trials aimed at identifying either novel or improved crop genotypes. All too frequently such collections a...

Metabolic adaptation of Zostera marina (eelgrass) to diurnal periods of root anoxia
The temperate seagrass Zostera marina L. is common in coastal marine habitats characterized by the presence of reducing sediments. The roots of this seagrass grow in these anoxic sediments, yet eelgrass is highly...

Structures Inherent to Chromatin Active in Transcription and Replication
The structure of the nucleosome and higher order transitions of the unit fiber of chromatin have been described in considerable detail (1–3). Despite this body of general structural knowledge, the function and...
