Biochemical analyses of sugary-1 mutants indicate that both types of starch debranching enzymes, isoamylase and pullulanase, are either missing or greatly reduced in the endosperms of maize (Pan and Nelson, 1984; Rahman et al., 1998) and rice (Nakamura et al., 1992, 1996b, 1997, and the present study).he present investigation has been carried out to examine the relationship between the activities of starch debranching enzymes and the alteration of amylopectin structure in various sugary-1 endosperms of rice by partitioning the endosperm into the starch region and the phytoglycogen region.
Glass syringes are the most common type of syringe used with a syringe pump. Glass syringes are typically compatible with most applications, reusable for multiple applications, and more accurate than most syringe types. The plunger of a glass syringe can be made of only ground glass, glass with a Teflon syringe tip type, metal-only, or metal with a Teflon tip.
The needles themselves are categorized by length as well as the needle's gauge, indicating the overall thickness of the needle. Contrary to most measurement systems, the higher the needle's gauge, the smaller it actually is. Insulin syringes, for example, are found in three common sizes: 1 cc, 1/2 cc, and 3/10 cc. The correct size syringe to use is determined by the average size of the dose of insulin that the patient administers. An insulin syringe also can be categorized by how many units of insulin it is designed to hold.
