GENOME-WIDE IDENTIFICATION AINTEGUMENTA-LIKE (AIL) GENES IN BRASSICA SPECIES AND EXPRESSION PATTERNS DURING REPRODUCTIVE DEVELOPMENT IN BRASSICA NAPUS L.

Genome-wide identification AINTEGUMENTA-like (AIL) genes in Brassica species and expression patterns during reproductive development in Brassica napus L.

The AINTEGUMENTA-like (AIL) proteins, which belong to the AP2 family, play important roles in regulating the growth and development of plant organs.The AIL family has not yet been comprehensively studied in rapeseed (Brassica napus), an allotetraploid and model organism for the study of polyploid evolution.In the present study, 99 AIL family genes

Impaired immune function in Gulf War Illness

Abstract Background Gulf War Illness (GWI) remains a serious health consequence for at least 11,000 veterans of the first Gulf War in the early 1990s.Our understanding of the health consequences that resulted remains inadequate, and this is of great concern with another deployment to the same theater of operations occurring now.Chronic immune cell
