Abstract Background Quantitative measurement of actual auxin levels in plant tissue is complimentary to molecular methods measuring the expression of auxin related genes.Current analytical methods to quantify auxin have pushed the limit of detection to where auxin can be routinely quantified at the pictogram (pg) level, reducing the amount of tissu

Abstract Background Papain-like cysteine proteases (PLCPs), a large group of cysteine proteases structurally related to papain, play important roles in plant gotrax handlebar development, senescence, and defense responses.Papain, the first cysteine protease whose structure was determined by X-ray crystallography, plays a crucial role in protecting
Introduction: Congenital syphilis is a major public health problem, and early diagnosis and treatment are necessary to prevent it.Penicillin G benzathine is the treatment of choice in pregnant women; here however, it may fail to prevent fetal infection, as in the present case.Case presentation: Male newborn, son of an HIV negative mother with gesta
Preprints, versions of scientific manuscripts that precede peer review, are growing in popularity.They offer an opportunity to democratize and accelerate research, as they have no publication costs or a lengthy peer review process.Preprints are often later published in peer-reviewed venues, but these publications and the original preprints are freq
