This highly practical book, and successor to Volume 13 in the Laboratory Techniques series,
explores further and provides more comprehensive, autoritative information on the …

The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to amplify a portion of the coat protein gene
(RNA2) of striped jack nervous necrosis vlrus (SJNNV), the causative agent of viral nervous …

Taguchi methods are used widely as the basis for development trials during industrial
process design. Here, we describe their suitability for optimisation of the PCR. Unlike …

We have identified and cloned a novel serine/threonine kinase, p38-regulated/activated
protein kinase (PRAK). PRAK is a 471 amino acid protein with 20–30% sequence identity to …

Endophytic strain Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis) 10–4, producing indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and
siderofores but not active in phosphate solubilization, exerted a protective effect on Triticum …

Adeno-associated viruses (AAV) are ubiquitous in the human population (> 90% of adults
are seropositive) but have never been implicated as the cause of any disease. They were …

For many years, the principles of genetics have been applied to crop variety improvement
with great success. Severa1 crop species, notably corn, wheat, and tomato, have been used …

The DNA sequence of part of the gnd (6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase) gene was
determined for eight wild strains of Escherichia coli and for Salmonella typhimurium. Since a …

Baccatin III, an intermediate of Taxol biosynthesis and a useful precursor for semisynthesis
of the anti‐cancer drug, is produced in yew (Taxus) species by a sequence of 15 enzymatic …

The primary structures of human neuronal al, a2, and B subunits of a voltage-dependent
Caz+ channel were deduced by characterizing cDNAs. The al subunit (aID) directs the …
