| Author: Guo B Chen X Dang P Scully BT Liang X Holbrook CC Yu J Culbreath AK | Journal: BMC Dev Biol Citation: V : 8 P : 12 Year: 2008 Type: MEDLINE | Literature: oryza Field: abstract Doc ID: pub18248674 Accession (PMID): 18248674 | Matching Sentences: [ Sen. 8, subscore: 3.00 ]: Sequence clustering and assembling resulted in 8 , 689 unique EST sequences with 1 , 741 tentative consensus EST sequences ( TCs ) and 6 , 948 singleton ESTs . [ Sen. 18, subscore: 3.00 ]: Furthermore , a comparison of our EST sequences with other plant sequences in the TIGR Gene Indices libraries showed that the percentage of peanut EST matched to Arabidopsis thaliana , maize ( Zea mays ) , Medicago truncatula , rapeseed ( Brassica napus ) , rice ( Oryza sativa ) , soybean ( Glycine max ) and wheat ( Triticum aestivum ) ESTs ranged from 33 . 84% to 79 . 46% with the sequence identity >/= 80% . [ Sen. 15, subscore: 2.00 ]: Thirty six and forty seven unique EST sequences with threshold of R > 4 from libraries of GT-C20 and Tifrunner , respectively , were selected for examination of temporal gene expression patterns according to EST frequencies . [ Sen. 3, subscore: 1.00 ]: In order to understand the molecular basis of host resistance to aflatoxin contamination , a large-scale project was conducted to generate expressed sequence tags ( ESTs ) from developing seeds to identify resistance-related genes involved in defense response against Aspergillus infection and subsequent aflatoxin contamination . [ Sen. 7, subscore: 1.00 ]: After removing vector sequences and quality trimming , 21 , 777 high-quality EST sequences were generated . [ Sen. 10, subscore: 1.00 ]: The unique EST sequences were divided into twenty-two categories . [ Sen. 11, subscore: 1.00 ]: A similarity search against the non-redundant protein database available from NCBI indicated that 84 . 78% of total ESTs showed significant similarity to known proteins , of which 165 genes had been previously reported in peanuts . [ Sen. 14, subscore: 1.00 ]: In order to identify resistance-related genes with significantly differential expression , a statistical analysis to estimate the relative abundance ( R ) was used to compare the relative abundance of each gene transcripts in each cDNA library . [ Sen. 19, subscore: 1.00 ]: These results revealed that peanut ESTs are more closely related to legume species than to cereal crops , and more homologous to dicot than to monocot plant species . [ Sen. 20, subscore: 1.00 ]: CONCLUSION : The developed ESTs can be used to discover novel sequences or genes , to identify resistance-related genes and to detect the differences among alleles or markers between these resistant and susceptible peanut genotypes . [ Sen. 21, subscore: 1.00 ]: Additionally , this large collection of cultivated peanut EST sequences will make it possible to construct microarrays for gene expression studies and for further characterization of host resistance mechanisms .

[ Sen. 7, subscore: 3.00 ]: Both cholesterol esterase and pancreatin hydrolyzed the phytosteryl esters in two functional food matrices , and they hydrolyzed the hydroxycinnamate esters in corn fiber oil . [ Sen. 14, subscore: 3.00 ]: The extents of hydrolysis of phytosteryl esters by base ( saponification ) were also studied , and conditions commonly used for the saponification of acyl lipids ( 1 . 5 N methanolic KOH , 30 min at 70 degrees C ) , were found to result in a nearly 100% hydrolysis of TAG but only about 35-45% hydrolysis of the phytosteryl fatty acyl esters or phytosteryl hydroxycinnamate esters . [ Sen. 4, subscore: 2.00 ]: In addition to their occurrence in the free form , phytosterols also occur as four common phytosterol conjugates : ( i ) fatty acyl esters , ( ii ) hydroxycinnamate esters , ( iii ) steryl glycosides , and ( iv ) fatty acylated steryl glycosides . [ Sen. 8, subscore: 2.00 ]: This is the first report to demonstrate that phytostanyl ferulate esters ( which are present at levels of 3-6% in corn fiber oil ) are hydrolyzed by pancreatic cholesterol esterase . [ Sen. 5, subscore: 1.00 ]: This study was undertaken to investigate the extent of hydrolysis of four common phytosterol conjugates by mammalian digestive enzymes ( cholesterol esterase and pancreatin , a mixture of pancreatic enzymes ) and for comparison purposes , by KOH .

Score: 14.00 | Title: A comparison of plotless density estimators using Monte Carlo simulation on totally enumerated field data sets .
| Author: White NA Engeman RM Sugihara RT Krupa HW | Journal: BMC Ecol Citation: V : 8 P : 6 Year: 2008 Type: MEDLINE | Literature: oryza Field: abstract Doc ID: pub18416853 Accession (PMID): 18416853 | Matching Sentences: [ Sen. 1, subscore: 4.00 ]: BACKGROUND : Plotless density estimators are those that are based on distance measures rather than counts per unit area ( quadrats or plots ) to estimate the density of some usually stationary event , eg burrow openings , damage to plant stems , etc These estimators typically use distance measures between events and from random points to events to derive an estimate of density . [ Sen. 8, subscore: 2.00 ]: RESULTS : An estimator that was a compound of three basic distance estimators was found to be robust across all spatial patterns for sample sizes of 25 or greater . [ Sen. 11, subscore: 2.00 ]: CONCLUSION : Plotless density estimators can provide an estimate of density in situations where it would not be practical to layout a plot or quadrat and can in many cases reduce the workload in the field . [ Sen. 2, subscore: 1.00 ]: The error and bias of these estimators for the various spatial patterns found in nature have been examined using simulated populations only . [ Sen. 3, subscore: 1.00 ]: In this study we investigated eight plotless density estimators to determine which were robust across a wide range of data sets from fully mapped field sites . [ Sen. 5, subscore: 1.00 ]: Monte Carlo simulations were applied to sample the data sets , and in all cases the error of the estimate ( measured as relative root mean square error ) was reduced with increasing sample size . [ Sen. 6, subscore: 1.00 ]: The method of calculation and ease of use in the field were also used to judge the usefulness of the estimator . [ Sen. 7, subscore: 1.00 ]: Estimators were evaluated in their original published forms , although the variable area transect ( VAT ) and ordered distance methods have been the subjects of optimization studies . [ Sen. 9, subscore: 1.00 ]: The same field methodology can be used either with the basic distance formula or the formula used with the Kendall-Moran estimator in which case a reduction in error may be gained for sample sizes less than 25 , however , there is no improvement for larger sample sizes .

| Author: | Journal: MMWR Surveill Summ Citation: V : 61 P : 1-19 Year: 2012 Type: MEDLINE | Literature: oryza Field: abstract Doc ID: pub22456193 Accession (PMID): 22456193 | Matching Sentences: [ Sen. 22, subscore: 2.00 ]: Comparison of 2008 findings with those for earlier surveillance years indicated an increase in estimated ASD prevalence of 23% when the 2008 data were compared with the data for 2006 ( from 9 . 0 per 1 , 000 children aged 8 years in 2006 to 11 . 0 in 2008 for the 11 sites that provided data for both surveillance years ) and an estimated increase of 78% when the 2008 data were compared with the data for 2002 ( from 6 . 4 per 1 , 000 children aged 8 years in 2002 to 11 . 4 in 2008 for the 13 sites that provided data for both surveillance years ) . [ Sen. 6, subscore: 1.00 ]: DESCRIPTION OF SYSTEM : The Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring ( ADDM ) Network is an active surveillance system that estimates the prevalence of ASDs and describes other characteristics among children aged 8 years whose parents or guardians reside within 14 ADDM sites in the United States . [ Sen. 16, subscore: 1.00 ]: This report provides updated ASD prevalence estimates from the 2008 surveillance year , representing 14 ADDM areas in the United States . [ Sen. 17, subscore: 1.00 ]: In addition to prevalence estimates , characteristics of the population of children with ASDs are described , as well as detailed comparisons of the 2008 surveillance year findings with those for the 2002 and 2006 surveillance years . [ Sen. 18, subscore: 1.00 ]: RESULTS : For 2008 , the overall estimated prevalence of ASDs among the 14 ADDM sites was 11 . 3 per 1 , 000 ( one in 88 ) children aged 8 years who were living in these communities during 2008 . [ Sen. 19, subscore: 1.00 ]: Overall ASD prevalence estimates varied widely across all sites ( range : 4 . 8-21 . 2 per 1 , 000 children aged 8 years ) . [ Sen. 20, subscore: 1.00 ]: ASD prevalence estimates also varied widely by sex and by racial/ethnic group . [ Sen. 23, subscore: 1.00 ]: Because the ADDM Network sites do not make up a nationally representative sample , these combined prevalence estimates should not be generalized to the United States as a whole . [ Sen. 24, subscore: 1.00 ]: INTERPRETATION : These data confirm that the estimated prevalence of ASDs identified in the ADDM network surveillance populations continues to increase . [ Sen. 27, subscore: 1.00 ]: PUBLIC HEALTH ACTION : Given substantial increases in ASD prevalence estimates over a relatively short period , overall and within various subgroups of the population , continued monitoring is needed to quantify and understand these patterns . [ Sen. 29, subscore: 1.00 ]: Further work is needed to evaluate multiple factors contributing to increases in estimated ASD prevalence over time . [ Sen. 30, subscore: 1.00 ]: ADDM Network investigators continue to explore these factors , with a focus on understanding disparities in the identification of ASDs among certain subgroups and on how these disparities have contributed to changes in the estimated prevalence of ASDs .

[ Sen. 3, subscore: 2.00 ]: A multiple sequence alignment identified EstA as belonging to clade II of the GDSL esterase family . [ Sen. 7, subscore: 2.00 ]: However , evidence is presented for the surface exposure of EstA based on fluorescent labeling with EstA specific antibodies . [ Sen. 4, subscore: 1.00 ]: Autologous overexpression allowed the investigation of several features of both autotransporter proteins and GDSL esterases . [ Sen. 6, subscore: 1.00 ]: Unexpectedly , after separation of the membrane fraction , EstA was detected in the N-laurylsarcosine soluble fraction . [ Sen. 10, subscore: 1.00 ]: Regarding the esterase passenger domain , we show the importance of the catalytic triad residues , with the serine and histidine residues being more critical than the aspartate residue . [ Sen. 11, subscore: 1.00 ]: Furthermore , the growth of an estA-negative mutant was not impaired and cell mobility was not disabled compared to the wild type . [ Sen. 12, subscore: 1.00 ]: No specific phenotype was detected for an estA-negative mutant . [ Sen. 13, subscore: 1.00 ]: Overall , P stutzeri A15 EstA is a new candidate for the surface display of proteins in environmentally relevant biotechnological applications .
