Sequential sampling of rainwater from Hurricane Irene was carried out in Wilmington, NC, USA on 26 and 27 August 2011.Eleven samples were analyzed for pH, major ions (Cl−, NO3−, SO42−, Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, NH4+), dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2).Hurricane Irene contributed 16% of the total rainwater and
Neuropeptide FF (NPFF) and gonadotropin-inhibitory Flywheel W/ Bracket Bearing hormone (GnIH) are thought to be paralogous, and a recent study has revealed that both NPFF and GnIH peptides can activate the GnIH receptor (GnIHR, also called NPFFR1) in the European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax).However, whether GnIH can bind to the NPFF receptor (N

Soybean plants Belts establish symbiotic relationships with soil rhizobia which form nodules on the plant roots.Nodule formation starts when the plant roots exudate isoflavonoids that induce nod gene expression of a specific Bradyrhizobium.We examined the specific indigenous rhizobia that form nodules with the soybean cultivars Peking and Tamahomar
