The Arabidopsis LSD1 and LOL1 proteins both contain three conserved zinc finger domains and have antagonistic effects on plant programmed cell death (PCD).In this study, a rice (Oryza sativa) functional homolog of LSD1, designated OsLSD1, was identified.The expression of OsLSD1 STOOL was light-induced or dark-suppressed.Overexpression of OsLSD1 dri
Abstract Background Burgeoning evidence highlights seminal roles for microglia in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).The receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) binds ligands relevant to ALS that accumulate in the diseased spinal cord and RAGE has been previously implicated in th
Myo-inositol (inositol) affects memory, and the incidence of depression and anxiety in mammals.An experiment was designed to determine if pure inositol (0.16%), or high levels of phytase (3000 FTU/kg) affect the behaviour of fully beaked Lohmann LSL lite hens fed amino acid sufficient (19% crude protein (CP)) and deficient diets (16% CP), from 19 t
