Involvement of a rice mutation in storage protein biogenesis in endosperm and its genomic location.

A mutation was first found to cause the great generation of glutelin precursors (proglutelins) in rice (Oryza sativa L.) endosperm, and thus referred to as GPGG1. The GPGG1 was involved in synthesis and compartmentation of storage proteins.

Identification of Novel Characteristics in TP53-Mutant Hepatocellular Carcinoma Using Bioinformatics.

TP53 mutations are the most frequent mutations in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and affect the occurrence and development of this cancer type. Therefore, it is essential to clarify the function and mechanism of TP53 mutations in HCC. We performed a sequence of bioinformatic analyses to elucidate the characteristics of TP53 mutations in HCC.

Analysis of 27 antibiotic residues in raw cow's milk and milk-based products--validation of Delvotest® T.

Delvotest® T was evaluated for its capability at detecting residues of 27 antibiotics in raw cow's milk and in some dairy ingredients (skimmed and full-cream milk powders). The kit was used as a screening tool for the qualitative determination of antibiotics from different families in a single test. Results delivered by such a method are expressed as 'positive' or 'negative', referring to the claimed screening target concentration (STC).

[Determination of Flavonoids in Cycas revoluta Leaves by Chemiluminescence-Flow Injection Analysis Method].

Objective: To detect flavonoids from Cycas revoluta leaves by means of Chemiluminescence-Flow Injection Analysis (CL-FIA).

Methods: Under alkaline condition, a CL-FIA method was established to determine flavonoids from leaves of Cycas revoluta on the basis of inhibiting effect of flavonoids to the Luminol-H2O2-Cu2+ chemiluminescence system and the reversed flow injection technique.

Results: In the range of 2.
