(4) Chromomycin A3 banding of the mitotic sets of 10 species of Bovidae (cattle, wisent, yak, banteng, gaur, red buffalo, swamp buffalo, sheep, mufflon, and goat) serves to demarcate both centromeric constitutive heterochromatin and R-banding patterns capable of identifying all the chromosomes within a given complement.
(5) Idiopathic epilepsy was diagnosed in 3 gaur in a zoologic park collection during a 3-year period.
(6) In the present study the infective dose of the same strain of F. necrophorum was reduced by a factor of greater than 10(3) by suspending the fusobacteria in sub-lethal doses of 5% homogenate of gaur or wallaby faeces.
(7) The C banding patterns were useful in identifying the X and Y chromosomes and the inherited submetacentric autosomes from the gaur sire.
(8) The role of heredity in development of seizures in these gaur is unclear because of limited founder stock of gaur in North America.
(9) The sin gene is a transcriptional regulator that is required for the development of competence (N. K. Gaur, E. Dubnau, and I. Smith, J. Bacteriol.
(10) The herpesvirus from the Indian gaur and greater kudu and high passages (greater than 50) of the cell-free WC-11 strain of alcelaphine herpesvirus-1 also were inhibited in their replication by recombinant IFN of bovine and human origins as determined by a fluorescent focus unit (FFU) reduction assay.
(11) Results of serum biochemical analysis, CBC, blood lead analysis, CSF analysis, and necropsy were within normal limits in all gaur.
(12) Viral isolates from an Indian gaur (Bos gaurus), a greater kudu (Tragelaphus strepsiceros) and two wildebeest (Connochaetes gnou) calves did not induce measurable interferon (IFN) in bovine fetal kidney cells.
Saur
Definition:
(n.) Soil; dirt; dirty water; urine from a cowhouse.
Example Sentences:
(1) We have identified a class of small mRNAs (approximately 0.5 kilobases), referred to as small auxin-up RNAs (SAURs), that increases in abundance within minutes after auxin application to excised elongating hypocotyl sections of soybean.
(2) Archaeologists in Kabul did a preliminary survey of the site, mapping it and digging test trenches, but before they could gather the enormous resources needed for a full-scale excavation, first the 1978 Marxist coup then the 1979 Saur Communist revolution and the Soviet invasion intervened.
(3) These results suggest that protein synthesis inhibitors act by stabilizing SAURs and that some labile protein(s) are involved in the rapid turnover of SAURs.
(4) Superinduction of SAURs occurs if the synthetic auxin 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid is added under conditions where protein synthesis is inhibited.
(5) In this study, we present evidence that SAURs accumulate in the absence of auxin when protein synthesis is inhibited.
(6) High levels of GH3 transcripts were also found in developing palisade mesophyll cells of leaves, cotyledons, and flowers treated with 2,4-D. SAUR transcripts became more abundant in the epidermis, cortex, starch sheath, and pith of epicotyls and hypocotyls after 2,4-D treatment.
(7) Transcription run-on experiments with isolated nuclei show that, unlike 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, protein synthesis inhibitors do not activate transcription of the SAUR genes.
(8) An auxin-inducible bidirectional promoter from the soybean SAUR gene locus was fused to a reporter gene in one direction and a cytokinin biosynthetic gene in the opposite direction and the expression of these fused genes was examined in transgenic tobacco.
(9) Unlike 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid-induced SAUR accumulation, the increase in abundance of SAURs induced by cycloheximide is transient, with a peak approximately 1 h after inhibitor addition.
(10) The splints or temporary crowns were: (1) silver cap splint, (2) acrylic cap splint, (3) Hawley orthodontic plate, (4) Saur's arch bar, (5) orthodontic bands, (6) stainless steel crown, and (7) stainless steel crown with labial surface removed.
(11) SAUR transcripts were expressed in the epidermis, cortex, and starch sheath of epicotyls and immature hypocotyls.
(12) Whether induced with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid or cycloheximide, SAURs are primarily expressed in epidermal and cortical cells of elongating hypocotyl sections, with little or no expression in vascular tissue.
(13) Complete inhibition of protein synthesis is not required for SAUR accumulation in the presence of protein synthesis inhibitors.
(14) SAURs were also expressed in developing xylem elements of the hypocotyl hook.
(15) We used in situ hybridization to localize two classes of auxin-regulated transcripts, GH3 and SAURs, within organs and tissues of soybean seedlings and flowers.
(16) SAUR transcripts became more abundant on the bottom side of hypocotyls that were undergoing gravitropic curvature.
