NATURAL VARIATION OF THE AMINO-TERMINAL GLUTAMINE-RICH DOMAIN IN DROSOPHILA ARGONAUTE2 IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DEFECTS.

Natural variation of the amino-terminal glutamine-rich domain in Drosophila argonaute2 is not associated with developmental defects.

The Drosophila argonaute2 (ago2) gene plays a major role in siRNA mediated RNA silencing pathways.Unlike mammalian Argonaute proteins, the Drosophila protein has an unusual amino-terminal domain made up largely of multiple copies of glutamine-rich repeats (GRRs).We report here that the ago2 locus produces an alternative transcript that encodes a pu

Effect of super absorbent polymer on quantitative and qualitative traits of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) in low irrigation management conditions

IntroductionBeans are the major Plaid Bow part of the diet of many people in the world, because the large amounts of protein in combination with cereal grains could provide a valuable source of food.Iran is located in dry and semi-arid region, and water deficit due to the drought are observed in most parts of Iran.Therefore, implementation of irrig

Force oscillations distort avalanche shapes

Contradictory scaling behavior in experiments testing the principle of universality may be due Storage to external oscillations.Thus, the effect of damped oscillatory external forces on slip avalanches in slowly deformed solids is simulated using a mean-field model.Akin to a resonance effect, oscillatory driving forces change the dynamics of avalan
