3 kg ha(-1) and increased to 5273.0 kg ha(-1) with Fe 10 kg ha(-1) applied plot. The maximum amount with 5317.6 kg ha(-1)

yield was achieved at 20 kg ha(-1). The applications of Fe significantly increased (P<0.01) peanut yield and hundred seed weight. The highest yield of 6030 kg ha(-1) in 2007 was obtained with 2 kg ha(-1) foliar to COM variety, the lowest yield of 3890 kg ha(-1) in 2006, was determined at NC-7 variety which was control. Fe applications had similar positive effects on 100 grain weight. However, oil yield and protein contents of peanuts did not respond to treatments. Economic analysis revealed that the highest income of 10208.0 $ ha(-1) was obtained with foliar application of 1 kg ha(-1) NVP-BSK805 Fe.”
“We show here that the viscous drag and dielectrophoretic force generated in a V-shaped ladder electrode array in a microfluidic channel cause both attracted and repelled microparticles to move to the electrodes at the centre

of the channel. Both Bacillus spores and 1-mu m polystyrene spheres in a flow concentrated at the edges of V-shaped electrodes to which a 20 V(pp) 1MHz AC voltage was applied. The results indicated the advantages of this simple setup for concentrating microparticles regardless of their dielectric constants, which is essential for highly precise cell separation and analysis.

“Objective: MicroRNA is a type of small non-coding RNAs, which CA3 in vitro usually has a stem-loop structure. As an important stage of microRNA, the pre-microRNA is transported from nuclear to cytoplasm by exportin5 and

finally cleaved selleck compound into mature microRNA. Structure-sequence features and minimum of free energy of secondary structure have been used for predicting pre-microRNA. Meanwhile, the double helix structure with free nucleotides and base-pairing features is used to identify pre-miRNA for the first time.\n\nMethods: We applied support vector machine for a novel hybrid coding scheme using left-triplet method, the free nucleotides, the minimum of free energy of secondary structure and base-pairings features. Data sets of human pre-microRNA, other 11 species and the latest pre-microRNA sequences were used for testing.\n\nResults: In this study we developed an improved method for pre-microRNA prediction using a combination of various features and a web server called PMirP. The prediction specificity and sensitivity for real and pseudo human pre-microRNAs are as high as 98.4% and 94.9%, respectively. The web server is freely available to the public at http://ccst.jlu.edu.cn/ci/bioinformatics/MiRNA (accessed: 26 February 2010).\n\nConclusions: Experimental results show that the proposed method improves the prediction efficiency and accuracy over existing methods. In addition, the PMirP has lower computational complexity and higher throughput prediction capacity than Mipred web server. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
