Properties of INDETERMINATE DOMAIN Proteins from : DNA-Binding, Interaction with GRAS Proteins, and Transcriptional Activity.

INDETERMINATE DOMAIN (IDD) proteins are plant-specific transcription factors that interact with GRAS proteins, such as DELLA and SHORT ROOT (SHR), to regulate target genes. The combination of IDD and DELLA proteins regulates genes involved in gibberellic acid (GA) synthesis and GA signaling, whereas the combination of IDD with the complex of SHR and SCARECROW, another GRAS protein, regulates genes involved in root tissue formation. Previous bioinformatic research identified seven , two , and two genes in , a model organism for non-vascular plants (bryophytes), which lack a GA signaling pathway and roots.

Fabrication, Characterization and In Vitro Assessment of Derived Hydroxyapatite Particulate-Filled Polymer Composite for Implant Applications.

This paper presents the formulation, characterization, and in vitro studies of polymer composite material impregnated with naturally derived hydroxyapatite (HA) particulates for biomedical implant applications. () seashells (SS) were collected, washed and cleaned, sun-dried for 24 h, and ground into powder particulates. The SS particulates of different weight percentages (0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 wt%)-loaded high-density polyethylene (HDPE) composites were fabricated by compression molding for comparative in vitro assessment.
