Seed dormancy loss from dry after-ripening is associated with increasing gibberellin hormone levels in Arabidopsis thaliana

IntroductionThe seeds of many plants are dormant and unable to germinate at maturity, but gain the ability to germinate through after-ripening during dry storage.The hormone abscisic acid (ABA) stimulates seed dormancy, whereas gibberellin A (GA) stimulates dormancy loss and germination.MethodsTo determine whether dry after-ripening alters the pote

What Is the Most Reliable Concordance Rate of Preoperative Synovial Fluid Aspiration and Intraoperative Biopsy to Detect Periprosthetic Joint Infection in Knee, Hip and Shoulder Arthroplasty?

The accuracy of preoperative synovial fluid microbe detection in periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is widely reported.However, the reliability of this diagnostic modality amongst the different joints is not yet described.We aimed to compare the concordance rate between preoperative synovial fluid and intraoperative tissue cultures in shoulder, k

Carcinoma glottis with parotid metastasis

Introduction: Glottic carcinomas represent approximately one third of the laryngeal cancers.True glottis includes both true vocal cords including anterior and posterior commissures.True vocal cord are as such devoid of lymphatics, so the chances of lymph node metastasis as such is very low.The chances of distant metastasis is also very rare.Herein

The Origin and Evolution of Baeyer-Villiger Monooxygenases (BVMOs): An Ancestral Family of Flavin Monooxygenases.

The Baeyer-Villiger Monooxygenases (BVMOs) are enzymes belonging to the "Class B" of flavin monooxygenases and are capable of performing exquisite selective oxidations.These enzymes have been studied from a biotechnological perspective, but their physiological substrates and functional roles are widely unknown.Here, we investigated Default the orig
