To date, however, the responses of eukaryotes to AHLs have been more extensively characterized in plants as opposed to mammalian systems, perhaps due to ease of growth, genetic tractability, and the close relationships of plants with many Gram-negative bacteria (including pathogens, symbionts, and commensalists) in their native habitats.
City analysts described the easing back of growth from the 0.5% recorded in the first quarter as disappointing, even though the ONS said one-off factors such as the royal wedding and the production shutdowns caused by the Japanese tsunami had probably knocked 0.5% off growth between April and June.
Important criteria include a stable, haplotype-phased and normal karyotype, ease of growth, ease of genome editing and suitability for (live-cell) imaging.
Zebrafish was chosen as an in vivo model because of its 80% genetic homology to humans, coupled with its ease of growth and maintenance.
Close to the equator, oranges are more popular than apples, whereas farther north apples are more appealing, perhaps reflecting their ease of growth.
Several species, but most especially the Easter lily cactus (E. multiplex), are valued for their ease of growth and large flowers, with tubes up to 25 cm (10 inches) long.
These results indicate that C. reinhardtii may play an important role in molecular pharming, as it combines the beneficial features of land plant vaccines, while offering unmatched ease of growth compared to other members of the plant kingdom.
The latter leads to the OIC with a noncentrosymmetric structure and are expected to enhance the macroscopic nonlinearity in a synergistic mode of guest and host by inducing the guest molecular dipole alignment as well as other properties, such as thermal stability, mechanical strength and ease of growth.
These species were selected for their ease of growth and the availability of data on metal uptake/adsorption in the literature.
It was chosen based on its ease of growth and readily quantifiable cytopathic effect in the automated system [19], [20].
