SELF-FERTILITY IN CHROMOCREA SPINULOSA IS A CONSEQUENCE OF DIRECT REPEAT-MEDIATED LOSS OF MAT1-2, SUBSEQUENT IMBALANCE OF NUCLEI DIFFERING IN MATING TYPE, AND RECOGNITION BETWEEN UNLIKE NUCLEI IN A COMMON CYTOPLASM.

Self-fertility in Chromocrea spinulosa is a consequence of direct repeat-mediated loss of MAT1-2, subsequent imbalance of nuclei differing in mating type, and recognition between unlike nuclei in a common cytoplasm.

The filamentous fungus Chromocrea spinulosa (Trichoderma spinulosum) exhibits both self-fertile (homothallic) and self-sterile (heterothallic) sexual reproductive behavior.Self-fertile strains produce progeny cohorts that are 50% homothallic, 50% heterothallic.Heterothallic progeny can mate only with homothallic strains, and progeny also segregate

c-FLIP degradation mediates sensitization of pancreatic cancer cells to TRAIL-induced apoptosis by the histone deacetylase inhibitor LBH589.

Great efforts have been made to develop novel and efficacious therapeutics against pancreatic cancer to improve the treatment outcomes.Tumor-necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is such a therapeutic cytokine with selective killing effect toward malignant cells.However, some human pancreatic cancers are intrinsically resistant

The role of decision speed in the construct of intelligence

Adjust Pin A theory of general intelligence in Spearman's sense has been frequently verified via two complementary approaches, the one using psychometric and the other using experimental methodology.The results led to the conclusion that both, psychometric tests and elementary cognitive tasks in different experimental paradigms measure the same
