Synopsis Significant differences in the emergence rate index (E.R.I.) were observed for a group of standard height and semidwarf selections as well groups club common selections. Indexes found to correlate positively with matureplant heights coleoptile lengths seedlings grown at 50° 90° F. Partial correlations indicated that associations between E.R.I. plant length closely related.
Synopsis Four dwarf and semidwarf wheat varieties were not induced to attain a standard height by treatment with gibberellic acid, they responded less than the standard‐height varieties. Optimum growth response occurred generally after injections 100‐ppm of whereas inhibition was sometimes observed 1000‐ppm. Spike emergence 3 6 hastened. Treatment affected internodes three differently depending on both variety concentration acid.
Synopsis The most efficient semidwarf winter wheats for eastern Washington have strikingly similar head, leaf, culm, and growth characteristics. General plant patterns of the selections are best represented by CI 13438. Likewise variety suitable commercial production is Gaines. Comparative performances in varietal trials show distinctly greater efficiency over standard‐height varieties Washington.
Signaling through retinoic acid inducible gene I (RIG-I) like receptors (RLRs) is tightly regulated, with activation occurring upon sensing of viral nucleic acids, and suppression mediated by negative regulators. Under homeostatic conditions aberrant melanoma differentiation-associated protein-5 (MDA5) prevented editing endogenous dsRNA RNA enzyme Adenosine Deaminase Acting on (ADAR1). In addition, ADAR1 postulated to play pro-viral antiviral roles during infections that are dependent or...
Synopsis Comparison of agronomic characters between semi‐dwarf selections and commercial short very strawed varieties suggests that growth habit represents an important development in breeding winter wheats better suited to Pacific Northwest conditions. Bushel‐per‐acre yields were higher than Brevor Elmar; approximately two‐thirds as tall Brevor; they did not equal the sheaf weight but averaged grain yield lower straw tonnage. Average protein content was only slightly Elmar Brevor.
Abstract The MERS coronavirus (MERS-CoV) is a highly pathogenic, emerging virus that produces accessory proteins to antagonize the host innate immune response. MERS-CoV ORF4b protein has been shown bind preferentially nuclear import adapter IMPα3 in infected cells, thereby inhibiting NF-κB-dependent responses. Here, we report high-resolution structures of bound two distinct IMPα family members. Each exhibit similar binding mechanisms that, both cases, lack prototypical Lys at their P2 site....
It is well documented that influenza A viruses selectively package 8 distinct viral ribonucleoprotein complexes (vRNPs) into each virion; however, the role of host factors in genome assembly not completely understood. To evaluate significance cellular assembly, we generated a reporter virus carrying tetracysteine tag NP gene (NP-Tc virus) and assessed dynamics vRNP localization with components by fluorescence microscopy. At early time points, were preferentially exported to MTOC;...
Synopsis Varieties and selections with long coleoptiles emerged more rapidly than those characterized by shorter coleoptiles. Emergence rate indexes were found to parallel coleoptile length. Standard‐height varieties produced longer the semidwarfs for all depths at 50° F., while 90° semidwarf selection 14 × 53‐101 rated second 2‐inch 4‐inch of planting. At 3‐ planting emergence was reduced between 15 49% 48 81% when compared percent depth.
Marburg virus and Ebola encode VP30 proteins. While the role of in transcription has been well studied, life cycle is not understood.
The inheritance of adult plant reaction 8 wheat crosses to a stripe rust collection was determined under Pullman, Washington field conditions; an interpretation the seedling 4 these also made greenhouse conditions. Sources resistance studied included ‘Nord Desprez’, ‘Dickson 114’, ‘C. I. 13431’, and ‘Spinkcota’. Three loci controlled two involving Dickson 114, whereas simple monogenic occurred in C.I. 13431 ✕ ‘Golden’, ‘Itana’, Spinkcota Itana. Two complementary or epistatis between 2...
Information on the genetic control of culm length was obtained from a five‐parent diallel cross involving standard height cultivar ‘Burt’ and semidwarf selections ‘Norin 10/Brevor 14,’ 2238,’ ‘Seu Seun 27,’ ‘Suwon 92.’ Culm measurements F 1 2 populations their parents were recorded. All expressed dominance or overdominance for tall length. Although Suwon 92 Norin 14 differ in height, they appear to have similar mechanisms. Each mechanism involves two independent major factors semidwarfism,...
Members of the Ebolavirus genus demonstrate a marked differences in pathogenicity humans with Ebola (EBOV) being most pathogenic, Bundibugyo (BDBV) less and Reston (RESTV) is not known to cause disease humans. The VP24 protein encoded by members blocks type I interferon (IFN-I) signaling through interaction host karyopherin alpha nuclear transporters, potentially contributing virulence. Previously, we demonstrated that BDBV (bVP24) binds lower affinities proteins relative EBOV (eVP24), this...
Nipah virus (NiV) and Hendra (HeV) are highly pathogenic species from the Henipavirus genus within paramyxovirus family harbored by Pteropus Flying Fox species. Henipaviruses cause severe respiratory disease, neural symptoms, encephalitis in various animals humans, with human mortality rates exceeding 70% some NiV outbreaks. The henipavirus matrix protein (M), which drives viral assembly budding of virion, also performs non-structural functions as a type I interferon antagonist....
