OVER-EXPRESSION OF A TOBACCO NITRATE REDUCTASE GENE IN WHEAT (TRITICUM AESTIVUM L.) INCREASES SEED PROTEIN CONTENT AND WEIGHT WITHOUT AUGMENTING NITROGEN SUPPLYING.

Over-expression of a tobacco nitrate reductase gene in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) increases seed protein content and weight without augmenting nitrogen supplying.

Heavy nitrogen (N) application to gain higher yield of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) resulted in increased production cost and environment pollution.How to diminish the N supply without losing yield and/or quality remains a challenge.To meet the challenge, we integrated and expressed a tobacco Laptop Battery nitrate reductase gene (NR) in transgenic

Social ultrasonic vocalization in awake head-restrained mouse

Numerous animal species emit vocalizations in response to various social stimuli.The neural basis of throws vocal communication has been investigated in monkeys, songbirds, rats, bats and invertebrates resulting in deep insights into motor control, neural coding and learning.Mice, which recently became very popular as a model system for mammalian n
