Retail globalisation and regulation: interpreting the transformation of the food retail structure in Vietnam
No full textThe research aimed to explore the regulatory and socio-cultural responses to retail foreign direct investment (FDI) in a third-wave, transition country- Vietnam. A combined qualitative and quantitative methodology together with documentary research was utilised to collect a wide range of secondary data from governmental and industry sources, much of which has not been utilised in western academic research in the field given the challenges of access to such information and of translating source material into English. This was supplemented by primary survey data from consumers and key stakeholders in the supply chain of two products, namely morning glory and fish sauce in three supermarket chains: Metro, Big C and lntimex, and used to analyse the transformation of the retail structure in Vietnam. Research findings suggest that the process of change in the Vietnamese food retail sector has been affected by the slow but progressive penetration of market liberalisation in which, as late as 2008, a foreign partner could hold no more than 49% of capital in a joint venture. While the Vietnamese retail market has transformed radically since the 1990s, with this shift has emerged a consumer society that is usually more discerning and demanding than before. Changing societal composition plays a crucial role in consumers becoming more conscious and conspicuous. The findings also reveal a complex layering of regulations, some of which are a hangover from the pre-2007 period and some of which have occurred since the accession of the World Trade Organization, in the form of the controversial economic needs test (ENT)
An auxin-mediated ultradian rhythm positively influences root regeneration via EAR1/EUR1 in Arabidopsis
No full textUltradian rhythms have been proved to be critical for diverse biological processes. However, comprehensive understanding of the short-period rhythms remains limited. Here, we discover that leaf excision triggers a gene expression rhythm with ~3-h periodicity, named as the excision ultradian rhythm (UR), which is regulated by the plant hormone auxin. Promoter–luciferase analyses showed that the spatiotemporal patterns of the excision UR were positively associated with de novo root regeneration (DNRR), a post-embryonic developmental process. Transcriptomic analysis indicated more than 4,000 genes including DNRR-associated genes were reprogramed toward ultradian oscillation. Genetic studies showed that EXCISION ULTRADIAN RHYTHM 1 (EUR1) encoding ENHANCER OF ABSCISIC ACID CO-RECEPTOR1 (EAR1), an abscisic acid signaling regulator, was required to generate the excision ultradian rhythm and enhance root regeneration. The eur1 mutant exhibited the absence of auxin-induced excision UR generation and partial failure during rescuing root regeneration. Our results demonstrate a link between the excision UR and adventitious root formation via EAR1/EUR1, implying an additional regulatory layer in plant regeneration.

Designing of a specific fluorogenic peptide substrate for HIV-1 protease activity assay
No full textBased on the specific hydrolysis sequence in the Gag-Pol protein substrate of HIV-1 protease, we designed a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) substrate (designated peptide HF) for the enzyme. peptide HF has the sequence of QXL 520-GABA-SFNFPQITK-HiLyte Flour 488-NH2. HiLyte Fluor 488/QXL 520 as a FRET pair because of high excitation/emission and good activity at the optimal pH of HIV-1 protease (pH5) was chosen. QXL 520 was more stable when conjugated with serine residue at N-terminus via GABA group while leucine at the C-terminus was replaced with a lysine residue-HiLyte Fluor 488 conjugate. The optimal reaction conditions for HIV-1 protease activity assay were found to include 100-200 ng HIV-1 protease, 2 µM peptide HF, 100 mM CH3COONa buffer at pH 4.7, containing 1 M NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 1 mM DTT, 5% DMSO and 0.5 mg/mL BSA. Peptide HF could be stored at the concentration of 0.1 mg/mL in DMSO and at -80oC until use. Under the above mentioned conditions, HIV-1 protease showed the high affinity and the effective hydrolysis for the substrate with the kinetic parameters Vmax of 4.45 nM/s, Kcat/Km = 10.89 (mM.s)-1, which were 5 times higher than the Vmax and Kcat/Km when the commercial SensoLyte® 520 substrate (Anaspec-America) was used.
