Regulation of the Arabidopsis Transcriptome by Oxidative Stress

Abstract: Oxidative stress, resulting from an imbalance in the accumulation and removal of reactive oxygen species such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), is a challenge faced by all aerobic organisms In plants, exposure to various abiotic and biotic stresses results in accumulation of H2O2 and oxidative stress Increasing evidence indicates that H2O2 functions as a stress signal in plants, mediating adaptive responses to various stresses To analyze cellular responses to H2O2, we have undertaken a large-scale analysis of the Arabidopsis transcriptome during oxidative stress Using cDNA microarray technology, we identified 175 non-redundant expressed sequence tags that are regulated by H2O2 Of these, 113 are induced and 62 are repressed by H2O2 A substantial proportion of these expressed sequence tags have predicted functions in cell rescue and defense processes RNA-blot analyses of selected genes were used to verify the microarray data and extend them to demonstrate that other stresses such as wilting, UV irradiation, and elicitor challenge also induce the expression of many of these genes, both independently of, and, in some cases, via H2O2

Cross-national Comparisons of the Variation in New Firm Formation Rates

Abstract: REYNOLDS P. D., STOREY D. J. and WESTHEAD P. (1994) Cross-national comparisons of the variation in new firm formation rates, Reg. Studies 28, 443–456. Births of new firms have been seen to be a major source of new employment creation in developed countries. In the European Community (EC), government policy for much of the 1980s focused upon encouraging the startup of new enterprises. This research examines birth rates of new firms by region in France, Germany (West), Italy, Ireland and the United Kingdom. Comparison is also made with similar studies which have been conducted in parallel for Sweden and the United States. The key findings of the study are twofold. First, the average new firm birth rates are roughly similar across countries and there are similar regional variations within all countries; the most fertile regions have annual new firm birth rates that are two to four times higher than the least fertile regions. Second, the underlying processes affecting new firm births at the regional level app...
