Analytical methods to evaluate seed dormancy in legumes

Abstract
Legumes are known to have multiple health benefits. The seed coat in particular contains a number of bioactive compounds which possess antioxidant activity. Of great interest is the relationship between the chemical composition of the seed coat and its role in seed dormancy. Modern technological approaches are currently used to further identify these compounds and determine their role in seed development; these include NRIS FTIR, mass spectroscopy, electron microscopy and chromatography. The following review describes the constituents of the legume seed coat and their respective roles in dormancy and other stages of seed development. The review also highlights ...

Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) kinases is one such known component that performs diverse physiological roles through its associations with the molecular machinery.
mTOR is a protein that responds to metabolism and ageing, intercellular stress to growth regulation, growth factors ...

The role of the media (radio, television and cable television) was believed to educate and entertain their audiences and when cable television took over from broadcast television, there was an aura of expectations that television viewing was moving in the right direction.

Connective tissue growth factor induces collagen I expression in human lung fibroblasts through the Rac1/MLK3/JNK/AP-1 pathway

Many lung inflammatory diseases present pulmonary fibrosis as one of the symptoms, which is characterized by shortness of breath, chronic coughing and discomfort in the chest. It causes modifications of the lung tissues due to overgrowth, hardening and scarring. This occurs mainly due to deposition of collagen, an extracellular matrix (ECM) protein, whose turnover is regulated by fibroblast. Fibroblast is an important cell regulator that is enlisted by a site of injury. This process is driven by release of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), platelet-derived growth factor, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and IL-8/CXCL8.
Previously, fibroblast was thought to express no or very ...

Psychologists often argue about the nature and the nurture of genetic variation fixes in the human behavior (Scarr and Richard 262). Some offer that genetic differences are negating to change in behavior. This belief has limitation since it fails to distinguish the environmental and the genetic sources of individual differences in behavior. In this case, one is not in a position to assess the impact of heredity in behavioral domains since all people have a gene complement expressed over development.

Article Review: “Has Psychology Failed?” by Jastrow
The article “Has Psychology Failed?” by Jastrow (1935) addresses the issues facing applied psychology and the limitations imposed by different schools of psychology, such as behaviorism and the psychoanalytic school. Even though he commends Watson’s desire to move psychology from theoretical science to applied science and Freud’s appreciation of the importance of emotions and subconscious mental processes in structuring the human mind, Jastrow believes a naturalist perspective would benefit psychology as a unified science with practical implications. However, most of the article is dedicated to lamenting the current state of psychology ...

Gender is a term that can be interpreted in various ways. Initially, gender was known to be a synonym for women. The main reason behind this reasoning was the fact that the term gender and all gender studies carried out were mainly done to study women. They all had a feminine touch. Gender studies mainly began as a result of traditional invisibility associated with women. Their role in the society was limited. They were not involved in politics or any kind of leadership. As a result, women wanted to overcome this traditional invisibility, and this led to the beginning ...

Statistics by CDC and the NHSLS show that young adults today are having far less sex than the baby boomers. Hookups are not free for all as portrayed by the media but is rather a safe manoeuvre by young adults ...

In the late 1820’s, the Northern Carolina became more industrialized as the Southern remained non-developed.

The article talks about how the different ethical perspectives in the most modern world have lead to different answers to many problems. It seems that everything can be justified using the modern ethical theories as promulgated by John Stuart Mills and Immanuel Kant.

For example, the author of the article cites the example of closure of General Motors plan in the United States of America. He states that ...
