Plastids as cellular reservoir for nuclear transcription factors

Transcription factors are responsible for the transcription of the genetic information and are therefore key molecules in any cell. In plant cells the genetic information is divided into three sub-genomes (nuclear, plastid, mitochondrial) that are depende nt on each other. The description of a eu...

Speciation processes in fungi examined through experimental and empirical approaches

Although more than 100.000 fungal species exist, fungi are largely missing in the speciation debate. Speciation theory is based mainly on research on animals and plants and little is known whether fungi conform to general models of speciation. Four differ ent boreal/nemoral wood-decay species com...

Prediction of fetal growth restriction by maternal perception of fetal activity

Fetal growth restriction (FRG) is a major challenge in obstetric care, and a significant risk for severe disabilities and death. Risk is reduced by early detection, but prediction in antenatal care is poor. FGR is associated with decreased fetal movements (DFM). Pregnant women universally perfor...
