MOLECULAR PHYLOGENY OF SUBTRIBE ARTEMISIINAE (ASTERACEAE), INCLUDING ARTEMISIA AND ITS ALLIED AND SEGREGATE GENERA

Molecular phylogeny of Subtribe Artemisiinae (Asteraceae), including Artemisia and its allied and segregate genera

Abstract Background Subtribe Artemisiinae of Tribe Anthemideae (Asteraceae) is composed of 18 largely Asian genera that include the sagebrushes and mugworts.The subtribe includes the large cosmopolitan, wind-pollinated genus Artemisia, as well as several smaller genera and Seriphidium, that altogether comprise the Artemisia-group.Circumscription an

The exchangeability of shape

Abstract Background Landmark based geometric morphometrics (GM) allows the quantitative comparison of organismal shapes.When applied to systematics, it is able to score shape changes which often Left Foot Pad are undetectable by traditional morphological studies and even by classical morphometric approaches.It has thus become a fast and low cost ca

Hydrogen sulfide prevents hydrogen peroxide-induced activation of epithelial sodium channel through a PTEN/PI(3,4,5)P3 dependent pathway.

Sodium reabsorption through the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) at the distal segment of the kidney plays an important role Barstool in salt-sensitive hypertension.We reported previously that hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) stimulates ENaC in A6 distal nephron cells via elevation of phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PI(3,4,5)P3) in the apical mem
