Testis-specific serine/threonine kinase 1-like (TSSK1-like), which plays important roles in late-phase spermatogenesis and male fertility, was characterized in Pacific abalone Haliotis discus hannai, an important commercial marine gastropod.Further, its expression patterns were assessed in diploid and induced triploid males showing differential deg
North American Specialty Cut Flower Production and Postharvest Survey
In the United States and Canada, there has been an increase Anal in the demand for local specialty cut flowers and a corresponding increase in production.To assess the needs of the industry, we electronically surveyed 1098 cut flower producers and handlers in the United States and Canada regarding their current cut flower production and postharvest
AIP56, an AB toxin secreted by Photobacterium damselae subsp. piscicida, has tropism for myeloid cells
IntroductionThe AB-type toxin AIP56 is a key virulence factor of Photobacterium damselae subsp.piscicida (Phdp), inducing apoptosis in fish immune cells.The discovery of AIP56-like and AIP56-related toxins in diverse organisms, including human-associated Vibrio strains, highlights the evolutionary conservation of this toxin family, suggesting that
High-Speed and Direction-Controlled Formation of Silicon Nanowire Arrays Assisted by Electric Field
Abstract Metal-assisted chemical etching (MaCE), a low-cost and versatile method was considered a promising technique for preparing silicon Right Crank nanowires (SiNWs), yet the lack of well controlling the injected holes within Si might reduce the etching rate, create the unwanted sidewall etching, and degrade the structural uniformity.Herein, in
