On the Traditions of the Trade mission there is a minor Easter egg.
Our results showed that pmk-1 mutant exhibited minor decrease of egg production compared to mock (91% of mock, P<0.001, n=70), whereas the egg production of the pmk-1/ g6pdouble) double mutant was similar to that of Gi C. elegans (P=0.136, n=70).
This consideration suggests that all these components which are minor components of egg yolk [ 14, 15], might not necessarily be actively incorporated into the yolk but rather be non-selectively engulfed by endocytic vesicles after interaction with specific egg yolk components (Very low density lipoproteins, Vitellogenins, Immunoglobulins Y, Alpha-2 macroglobulin, etc).
For all this persistence for a biological child, it was a minor detail that the egg that fertilised Bala Ram's sperm belonged to an unknown woman donor.
Consumer groups said that the question over antibiotics in the eggs was minor, but the ads were still misleading.
We used the 451 EC numbers of the EF + F library to generate a metabolic map to examine putative biochemical pathways present in feeding- and egg-induced U. minor, and also highlighted those putative enzymes preferentially expressed in egg-induced plants.
The transcriptomic data of S. japonicum were collected from schistosomulum, adult worm (including mix-sex adult worm, male worm and female worm), egg and miracidium (minor EST data) [ 4].
In our dissections we observed the vagina to contain spermatophores in some species [e.g: Allosepsis indica, Australosepsis niveipennis, Sepsis dissimilis and S. thoracica] and a single developing egg in Themira minor.
The demonstration passed without major violence, though minor scuffles such as the egging incident did occur at the margins.
Many were likely deterred by the time, effort and pain required — including daily hormone injections and minor surgery — to retrieve the eggs.
