Dictyostelium discoideum Protocols

Dictyostelium discoideum is a simple but fascinating eukaryotic microorg- ism, whose natural habitat is deciduous forest soil and decaying leaves, where the amoebae feed on bacteria and grow as independent single cells. Exhaustion of the bacterial food source triggers a developmental program, in which up to 100,000 cells aggregate by chemotaxis towards cAMP. Morphogenesis and cell different- tion then culminate in the production of spores enabling the organism to survive unfavorable conditions. Dictyostelium offers unique advantages for studying f- damental cellular processes with the aid of powerful molecular genetic, bioche- cal, and cell biological tools. These processes include signal tr...

Small RNAs:

In recent years Molecular Biology has experienced an unprecedented revolution by the discovery of functional small RNAs. The number of cellular processes in which non-coding RNAs are involved is growing rapidly and include gene regulation on the transcriptional, post-transcriptional and translational level. To complicate matters, these processes seem to be strongly interconnected on the one hand, and diverse among different organisms on the other. This volume describes strategies for the discovery and validation of small RNAs and provides a snapshot of our current understanding of the different mechanisms triggered by small RNAs.

Recent Advances of Epigenetics in Crop Biotechnology

Epigenetics is a new field that explains gene expression at the chromatin structure and organization level. Three principal epigenetic mechanisms are known and hundreds of combinations among them can develop different phenotypic characteristics. DNA methylation, histone modifications and small RNAs have been identified, and their functions are being studied in order to understand the mechanisms of interaction and regulation among the different biological processes in plants. Although, fundamental epigenetic mechanisms in crop plants are beginning to be elucidated, the comprehension of the different epigenetic mechanisms, by which plant gene regulation and phenotype are modified, is a major t...

Political Leaders and Changing Local Democracy

  • Publisher: Springer

This book studies political leadership at the local level, based on data from a survey of the mayors of cities of more than 10,000 inhabitants in 29 European countries carried out between 2014 and 2016. The book compares these results with those of a similar survey conducted ten years ago. From this comparative perspective, the book examines how to become a mayor in Europe today, the attitudes of these politicians towards administrative and territorial reforms, their notions of democracy, their political priorities, whether or not party politicization plays a role at the municipal level, and how mayors interact with other actors in the local political arena. This study addresses students, academics and practitioners concerned at different levels with the functioning and reforms of the municipal level of local government.

Alles auf Anfang

Wie nachkirchlich ist unsere Zeit? Kirchliche Strukturen scheinen vielerorts leidlich zu funktionieren. Und doch ist Entkirchlichung längst kein Randphänomen mehr. Was also können missionarische Impulse für eine immer stärker nachkirchliche Zukunft sein? Dazu legt das Team des Greifswalder IEEG eine Reihe neuer programmatischer Beiträge vor. Themen sind u. a.: - Was bedeutet ein nachkirchliches Umfeld für die missionarische Gemeindeentwicklung? - Welche missionstheologischen Einsichten und biblischen Leitbilder sind hilfreich? - Wie kommen unter nachkirchlichen Bedingungen Menschen zum Glauben?
