In this study, stem cells derived from human sweat glands were isolated, characterized, seeded in collagen scaffolds, and engrafted in a mouse full skin defect model for dermal regeneration.
We have identified three conserved motifs (two RY-like and one ACGT-like) in Brassicaceae and Fabaceae SSP gene promoters that are similar to experimentally characterized seed-specific cis-regulatory elements.
Apart from a study carried out for Leptonychia usambarensis in Tanzania (Cordeiro et al. 2009), no studies have been conducted to characterize seed dispersal of tree species in Afromontane forests.
In this paper, we use an individual-based, spatially-explicit framework to characterize seed dispersal and seedling fate in an endangered, insular plant-disperser system: the endemic shrub Daphne rodriguezii and its exclusive disperser, the endemic lizard Podarcis lilfordi.

We describe the phenology of seed development and maturation, characterize seed germinability and desiccation tolerance during seed development and on shedding, and investigate embryo elongation pre- and post-shedding in order to test the hypothesis that seed development and maturation are complete prior to dispersal.
In this study, we characterized the seed development and lipid accumulation from female flowers pollinated to mature seeds, and investigated temporal expression profiles of 21 lipid genes involved in different steps of the pathways leading to fatty acid and TAG synthesis within jatropha developing seeds using quantitative real-time PCR technology.
We characterized disrupted seed development in reciprocal crosses between a diploid Japonica rice and a tetraploid Indica rice.
In this study, we also characterized a seed production phenotype of the intraspecies UI in B. rapa, in which the strength of UI could not be distinguished from that of SI.
We characterized the seed bank at each sampling location within a pool by collecting soil samples adjacent to permanently established vegetation sampling plots in restored pools (Collinge and Ray 2009) that had an observed peak inundation depth of 5 10 cm.
In an attempt to understand the coordinated metabolic shifts characterizing dry seeds, germinated seeds and dehydrated seeds across the year and in order to identify key metabolites associated with seed tolerance to dehydration, we employed correlation-based network analysis (CNA).
