TL;DR: The data show that the flavonols are the most effective inducers of quinone reductase activity in Hepa1c1c7 cells and that flavanols and flavans are ineffective.

TL;DR: Results show that Dmrt1 is essential to maintain testis differentiation after Dmy-triggered male differentiation pathway in the teleost medaka, Oryzias latipes.
Abstract: DMRT1, which is found in many vertebrates, exhibits testis-specific expression during the sexual differentiation period, suggesting a conserved function of DMRT1 in the testicular development of vertebrate gonads. However, functional analyses have been reported only in mammals. The current study focused on the Dmrt1 function in the teleost medaka, Oryzias latipes, which has an XX–XY sex determination system. Although medaka sex is determined by the presence or absence of the Y chromosome-specific gene Dmy, we demonstrated that in one Dmrt1 mutant line, which was found by screening a gene-driven mutagenesis library, XY mutants developed into normal females and laid eggs. Histological analyses of this mutant revealed that the XY mutant gonads first developed into the normal testis type. However, the gonads transdifferentiated into the ovary type. The mutant phenotype could be rescued by transgenesis of the Dmrt1 genomic region. These results show that Dmrt1 is essential to maintain testis differentiation after Dmy-triggered male differentiation pathway.

TL;DR: In this paper, the relation between the stored energy and the Taylor factor was investigated using the SEM/EBSP analysis in an Al-Mg-Mn alloy sheet worked by the continuous cyclic bending (CCB).
Abstract: The relation between the stored energy and the Taylor factor (TF) has been investigated using the SEM/EBSP analysis in an Al-Mg-Mn alloy sheet worked by the continuous cyclic bending (CCB). The analysis reveals that the stored energy is high for the high TF region, whereas a significant increase of the stored energy with the decrease of the Taylor factor appears in the vicinity of the minimum TF value of 2. This observation is discussed using the Schmid factor calculated. Further, the local strain accommodation during deformation is analyzed for grains of different orientations. The stored energy is derived from the calculation based on the kernel average misorientation (KAM).

TL;DR: An ionic complex of synthetic dsRNA with a carrier peptide in which a cell-penetrating peptide is fused with a polycation sequence as a gene carrier successfully induced rapid and efficient down-regulation of exogenous and endogenous genes.
Abstract: Summary
Quick and facile transient RNA interference (RNAi) is one of the most valuable plant biotechnologies for analysing plant gene functions To establish a novel double-strand RNA (dsRNA) delivery system for plants, we developed an ionic complex of synthetic dsRNA with a carrier peptide in which a cell-penetrating peptide is fused with a polycation sequence as a gene carrier The dsRNA–peptide complex is 100–300 nm in diameter and positively charged Infiltration of the complex into intact leaf cells of Arabidopsis thaliana successfully induced rapid and efficient down-regulation of exogenous and endogenous genes such as yellow fluorescent protein and chalcone synthase The present method realizes quick and local gene silencing in specific tissues and/or organs in plants

TL;DR: A deletion-insertion mutant defective in the benzene dioxygenase large and small subunits genes was as tolerant to organic solvents as the wild-type strain B-4, suggesting that utilization or degradation of organicsolvents is not essential for the organic solvent tolerance of R. opacus B- 4.
