AN ISOFORM OF EUKARYOTIC INITIATION FACTOR 4E FROM CHRYSANTHEMUM MORIFOLIUM INTERACTS WITH CHRYSANTHEMUM VIRUS B COAT PROTEIN.

An isoform of eukaryotic initiation factor 4E from Chrysanthemum morifolium interacts with Chrysanthemum virus B coat protein.

BACKGROUND: Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) plays an important role in plant virus infection as well as the regulation of gene translation.METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Here, we describe the isolation of a cDNA encoding CmeIF(iso)4E (GenBank accession no.JQ904592), an isoform of eIF4E from chrysanthemum, using RACE PCR.We used

Multi-Sensor Retrieval of Aerosol Optical Properties for Near-Real-Time Applications Using the Metop Series of Satellites: Concept, Detailed Description, and First Validation

The Polar Multi-Sensor Aerosol product (PMAp) is based on the synergistic use of three instruments from the Metop platform, GOME-2, AVHRR, and IASI.The retrieval algorithm includes three major steps: a pre-identification of the aerosol class, a selection of the aerosol model, and a calculation of the Icemaker Thermostat Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD).

Robustifying and simplifying high-dimensional regression with applications to yearly stock return and telematics data

Abstract The availability of many variables with predictive power makes their Knit Tank selection in a regression context difficult.This study considers robust and understandable low-dimensional estimators as building blocks to improve overall predictive power by optimally combining these building blocks.Our new algorithm is based on generalized cr
