The hormone-mediated control of plant growth and development involves both synthesis and response. Previous studies have shown that gibberellin (GA) plays an essential role in Arabidopsis seed germination. To learn how GA stimulates seed germination, we performed comprehensive analyses of GA

control subjects (n = 14; Control/Permutated data, p,0.000001). Coordinated expression was confirmed across distinct prefrontal cortex areas in a separate cohort (n = 19 subjects) and affected different gene sets, potentially reflecting regional network- and function-dependent transcriptional programs

of 1-34 bPTH 110-7 MI, Ca++ uptake was significantly increased by 55 % (P < 0.001) above control, while 3-34 bPTH 110 ' Ml had no effect on uptake. Both 8br,cAMP [10 ' MN and dibut,cAMP [10 ' Ml also significantly increased (P

Sertoli cells are the epithelial cells responsible for the onset of pubertal development and the maintenance of spermatogen-esis in the adult. Transferrin is one of the major secretory prod-ucts expressed by differentiated Sertoli cells. Investigation of the transcriptional control of transferrin

roles in the control of reproductive function. They are heterodimeric glycoprotein hormones, each consisting of a common �-subunit and a specific �-subunit, produced in the gonadotropes of the anterior pituitary gland (1). Both the biosynthesis and the secretion of the gonadotropins are under

ABSTRACT Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) is a prohormone of various neuropeptides, including corticotropin, ␣-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (␣-MSH), and ␤-endorphin (␤-EP) . POMC neuropeptides are potent inflammation inhibitors and immunosuppressants and may exert opposite influences during

sparks in the other systems. Notable examples include the discovery of introns in viruses and animal cells; the appreciation of GTP-binding proteins as central to vision, hormone action, cancer, and yeast mating; and the recognition of receptor-mediated endocytosis as essential for cellular nutrition

sterile workers. The queens ' influences on the workers are mediated largely via inhibition of juvenile hormone titers, which affect division of labor in honey bees and worker reproduction in bumble bees. Studies in honey bees identified a transcription factor, Krüppel-homolog 1 (Krh1), whose

stimulation also promotes the mobilization of DOR from its localization in nuclear PML bodies, thereby indicating that its nuclear localization and cellular function may be related. Conclusions/Significance. Our data indicate that DOR modulates thyroid hormone function and controls myogenesis. DOR expression
