Does microarray analysis of developing flax hypocotyls identify novel transcripts correlated with specific stages of phloem fibre differentiation?
Transcripts were identified associated with specific stages of hypocotyl development, in which phloem fibre cells were undergoing thickening of secondary walls. Temporal and spatial regulation of beta-galactosidase activity suggests a role for this enzyme in remodelling of flax bast fibre cell walls during secondary cell wall deposition.
HCV infection is an independent predictor for increased coronary atherosclerosis, as demonstrated by higher Reardon severity score.
