| lipid transfer proteins from rosaceae fruits share consensus epitopes responsible for their ige-binding cross-reactivity. | four ige-binding epitopes have been characterized that cover a large area (40%) of the molecular surface of lipid transfer protein allergens of rosaceae (apple, peach, apricot, and plum). they mainly correspond to electropositively charged regions protruding on the molecular surface of the modeled apple (mal d 3), apricot (pru ar 3), and plum (pru d 3) allergens. two of these epitopes consist of consensus epitopes structurally conserved among the lipid transfer protein allergens from the rosacea ... | 2008 | 18036340 |
| identification of plum pox virus pathogenicity determinants in herbaceous and woody hosts. | plum pox virus (ppv) is a member of the genus potyvirus that is able to infect a large variety of plant species, including trees of the genus prunus, its natural host. when some ppv isolates are propagated for an extended time in herbaceous plants, their ability to infect trees is reduced. the molecular basis of this change in host infectivity is poorly understood. we report the construction of hybrid viruses from cdna clones of two d-strain isolates of ppv, ppv-d and ppv-r, which differ in thei ... | 2008 | 18052879 |
| isolation and characterization of four ethylene signal transduction elements in plums (prunus salicina l.). | plums are climacteric fruits: their ripening is associated with a burst of ethylene production and respiration rate. stone fruits, including plum, have a distinct pattern of growth and development, described as a double sigmoid pattern. in order to understand the developmental control of ethylene perception in plum, four ethylene perception and signal transduction components (epstcs) were characterized, including two etr1-like proteins (ps-etr1 and ps-ers1), a ctr1-like protein, and an ethylene- ... | 2007 | 18057041 |
| role of the 25-26 nt sirna in the resistance of transgenic prunus domestica graft inoculated with plum pox virus. | the reaction of a genetically engineered plum clone (c5) resistant to plum pox virus (ppv) by graft inoculation with the virus was evaluated. the resistance in this clone has been demonstrated to be mediated through post-transcriptional gene silencing (ptgs). a single c5 plant out of 30 plants inoculated with ppv m strain by double chip-budding showed mild diffuse mosaic 'sharka' symptom at the bottom section of the scion. the upper leaves of this ppv-infected c5 plant remained symptomless and t ... | 2008 | 18071892 |
| low genetic variability in the coat and movement proteins of american plum line pattern virus isolates from different geographic origins. | until very recently isolates of american plum line pattern virus (aplpv) had not been reported from outside north america. the nucleotide sequences corresponding to the movement (mp) and coat (cp) proteins of eight aplpv isolates from five mediterranean countries were determined. sequence analysis showed that both mp and cp genes are highly conserved irrespective of geographic origin. the study of the distribution of synonymous and nonsynonymous changes along both open reading frames revealed th ... | 2008 | 18080796 |

| novel lipophilic tracking dyes for monitoring cell proliferation. | the advent of contemporary digital instrumentation has enhanced both the potential and the complexity of flow cytometric experiments, allowing for the detailed dissection of immune cell subsets and their functions. the use of cell tracking labels such as pkh26 and cfse has been important in observing such cellular functions, but their visible emission characteristics have limited the design of such analyses. as the demand for multiparametric flow cytometry intensifies, it will become increasingl ... | 2007 | 18161533 |
| performance of mice in discrimination of liquor odors: behavioral evidence for olfactory attention. | we examined performance of mice in discrimination of liquor odors by y-maze behavioral assays. thirsty mice were initially trained to choose the odor of a red wine in the y-maze. after successful training (>70% concordance for each trained mouse), the individual mice were able to discriminate the learned red wine from other liquors, including white wine, rosé wine, sake, and plum liqueur. however, when the mice were tested to distinguish fine differences between 2 brands of red wine, their perfo ... | 2008 | 18178544 |
| identification of quantitative trait loci controlling symptom development during viral infection in arabidopsis thaliana. | in compatible interactions between plants and viruses that result in systemic infection, symptom development is a major phenotypic trait. however, host determinants governing this trait are mostly unknown, and the mechanisms underlying it are still poorly understood. in a previous study on the arabidopsis thaliana-plum pox virus (ppv) pathosystem, we showed a large degree of variation in symptom development among susceptible accessions. in particular, cvi-1 (cape verde islands) accumulates viral ... | 2008 | 18184064 |
| historical study of coma: looking back through medical and neurological texts. | in the 1960s, two major works on coma by fisher, plum and poser were published and ushered in the beginning of a comprehensive clinical examination in coma. how these ideas matured has been rarely investigated. in this article, we describe observations and experiments that led to a better understanding of consciousness and coma in medical texts prior to that episode. we consulted medical texts published between 1640 and 1960. subject indexes and tables of contents of textbooks were reviewed for ... | 2008 | 18208847 |

| a rapid and effective method for rna extraction from different tissues of grapevine and other woody plants. | rna quality and integrity are critical for many studies in plant molecular biology. high-quality rna extraction from grapevine and other woody plants is problematic due to the presence of polysaccharides, polyphenolics and other compounds that bind or co-precipitate with the rna. | 2008 | 18618437 |
| molecular markers reveal strong geographic, but not host associated, genetic differentiation in aphidius transcaspicus, a parasitoid of the aphid genus hyalopterus. | host plant associated genetic differentiation is a common phenomenon in phytophagous insects, but the degree to which such associations sequentially drive diversification at higher trophic levels is not as well understood. a recent study examining neutral molecular markers in hyalopterus aphids revealed that genetic structure in this genus is strongly determined by primary host plant use (prunus spp.). in this paper, we take a similar approach to determine whether this host plant specificity has ... | 2009 | 18662432 |

| characterization of a natural plum pox virus isolate bearing a truncated coat protein. | plum pox virus (ppv) isolates were collected in hungary from plum varieties. pcr targeting the 3' genomic region resulted in a shorter pcr product in the case of the b1298 isolate bearing a 135-nucleotide deletion in frame in the n-terminal part of the coat protein (cp). the isolate was aphid-transmissible and the virion diameter was reduced compared to ppv-sk68. detectability of this isolate by western blot varied according to the antibody used. integration of the deleted cp gene into an infect ... | 2009 | 19082685 |
| plum juice, but not dried plum powder, is effective in mitigating cognitive deficits in aged rats. | normal aging in animals and humans is accompanied by a decline in cognitive performance that is thought to be due to the long-term effects of oxidative stress and inflammation on neurologic processes. previous findings have suggested that protection against age-related cognitive declines may be achieved by increasing the dietary intake of fruits and vegetables, especially those that are high in antioxidant activity, such as blueberries and strawberries. the objective of this study was to investi ... | 2009 | 19097856 |
