The initial six commercials, featuring teenagers of disparate racial backgrounds, were tested recently and "really resonated," said Steve Sanders, senior vice president and account director on Sprite at Lowe Lintas, "because they were real".
Over 3 years, 46 beet genotypes representing diverse genetic backgrounds were tested in the field under large polythene covers to impose a drought beginning approximately 40 days after emergence until harvest.
The phenotypic effects of individual mutations in various genetic backgrounds were tested for significance (P<0.05) with pairwise comparisons of genotypes by a standard Fisher test.
In total, 56 genetic backgrounds were tested using 12 RNAi treatments.
Studies in GHR-/ mice from Dr. Kopchick's laboratory and in our laboratory indicate that the presence of a significant extension of lifespan in animals lacking GH signals does not depend on genetic background (three different backgrounds were tested, two mixed and one inbred).
The effect of coating thickness and resistivity of the coating and background was tested.
After sample stage was cleaned up by ethanol wiping, the background was tested from 500 to 3600 cm−1.
In the present study, dysbindin-1 null mutant (dys−/−), heterozygous (dys+/−), and wild-type (dys+/+) mice, on a C57BL/6J genetic background, were tested in either a match to sample or nonmatch to sample visual discrimination task.
In addition, as a negative control haploid and diploid cells of S288c background were tested for pseudohyphal growth.
Strains containing SSN8 and CWC1 deletion, their respective overexpression, as well as their combined double mutants in the MATα and MATa background were tested in the slide mating assay.
To assess whether SSO1 or SSO2 are specifically involved in the regulation of invasive growth, SSO1 or SSO2 deleted cells expressing the phospho-mutant versions of Sso1p or Sso2p as their sole copy of Sso proteins (in Σ1278b background) were tested for invasive growth.
