TL;DR: Transformed petunia cells as well as regenerated transgenic plants were tolerant to glyphosate, and a chimeric EPSP synthase gene was constructed with the use of the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter to attain high level expression.

TL;DR: Both peptides appear to be derived from a common high molecular weight precursor (designated atriopeptigen); their biological selectivity and potency may be determined by the site of carboxyl terminal cleavage.

TL;DR: Fractionation of plasma atriopeptin immunoreactivity by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography showed that the major portion consists of two species of low molecular weight peptides in a ratio of 10 to 1, and both peaks exhibited potent vasorelaxant activity, suggesting the presence of the carboxyl terminal Phe-Arg sequence of atRIopeptin in each species.

TL;DR: A peptide (allatostatin) causing strong and rapid inhibition of juvenile hormone synthesis in vitro by corpora allata from reproductively active females has been isolated from brain/retrocerebral complexes of the cockroach Diploptera punctata.

TL;DR: Hparin-binding growth factor-8 was as active as acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF) and slightly less active than bFGF in the mouse NIH 3T3 fibro Blast mitogenic assay system with an intrinsic specific activity of 5000 dpm/ng under standard assay conditions.
