The agency's last regional plan, carried out in 1987, capped development and established standards for environmental quality in the basin.
Moreover, our new results suggest that DOCS1 could also play a role in root cap development.
A similar pattern of root cap development is observed in all rice root types (see also below and Fig. 7b).
These anatomical and structural modifications of docs1 mutant root cap cells suggest that the DOCS1 gene could play a role in root cap development during embryogenesis.
Over the summer, I spoke with Gary Lauder, a venture investor who was the main financial backer behind a slow-growth initiative that would have capped development in downtown Menlo Park until it was defeated in November.
Indeed, each of the defects observed in docs1 mutant plants could participate in the gravity mutant phenotype, namely root cap development, outer root tissue differentiation, and/or misregulated cell wall-related genes.
Because the cap is grown from the stem tip after it bends, cap development interrupts stem growth, and this shift to centrifugal growth (that is, growth outward from the stem) results in the typical kidney-shaped or semicircular cap.
GUS expression is found at early stages of root cap development and in patches of root cells that appear to elongate (Figure 3F H).
Exogenous expression of wild-type Kv3.3 had no significant effect on CaP development.
Similar to expression studies, the potential role of CD44 in CaP development and metastases is controversial.
