A 28-FOLD INCREASE IN SECRETORY PROTEIN SYNTHESIS IS ASSOCIATED WITH DNA PUFF ACTIVITY IN THE SALIVARY GLAND OF BRADYSIA HYGIDA (DIPTERA, SCIARIDAE)

A 28-fold increase in secretory protein synthesis is associated with DNA puff activity in the salivary gland of Bradysia hygida (Diptera, Sciaridae)

When the first group of DNA puffs is active in the salivary gland regions S1 and S3 of Bradysia hygida larvae, there is a large increase in the production and secretion of new salivary proteins demonstrable by [3H]-Leu incorporation.The present study shows that protein separation by SDS-PAGE and detection by fluorography demonstrated that these pol

Characterizing Post-Drainage Succession in Thermokarst Lake Basins on the Seward Peninsula, Alaska with TerraSAR-X Backscatter and Landsat-based NDVI Data

Drained thermokarst lake basins accumulate significant amounts of soil organic carbon in the form of peat, which is of interest to understanding carbon cycling and climate change feedbacks associated with thermokarst in the Arctic.Remote sensing is a tool useful for understanding temporal and spatial dynamics of drained basins.In this study, we tes
