APPLICATION OF CONSECUTIVE POLYETHYLENE GLYCOL TREATMENTS FOR MODELING THE SEMINAL ROOT GROWTH OF RICE UNDER WATER STRESS

Application of consecutive polyethylene glycol treatments for modeling the seminal root growth of rice under water stress

Abstract The response of root growth to various osmotic potentials is quite important in assessing the drought resistance of rice.This study modeled seminal root growth by applying consecutive polyethylene glycol (PEG) treatments (from 0 to 25%, 1% step), mathematical equations and noncontact image analysis to quantitatively evaluate the root respo

Proteomic profiling of the brain from the wobbler mouse model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis reveals elevated levels of the astrogliosis marker glial fibrillary acidic protein

The wobbler Zodiac T5 Duo Parts mouse is a widely used model system of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and exhibits progressive neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation in association with skeletal muscle wasting.This study has used wobbler brain preparations for the systematic and mass spectrometric determination of proteome-wide changes.The proteomi
