query: What is the heaviest pig recorded in history?

title: List of pigs

text: The world record for the heaviest pig so far is held by Big Bill, owned by Elias Buford Butler of Jackson, Tennessee. It was a Poland China breed of hog that tipped the scales at 2,552lb (1,157kg) in 1933.[14] Bill was due to be exhibited at the Chicago World Fair when he broke a leg and had to be put down. At about this point in time, the trend in hog production began to shift to hogs that were much trimmer and very lean.[15]

title: Khalid bin Mohsen Shaari

text: Khalid bin Mohsen Shaari (born 28 February 1991) is a Saudi Arabian man who in August 2013 was found to be the heaviest living person and the second-heaviest person in recorded history at , behind Jon Brower Minnoch. He also had a BMI of 204, the highest ever recorded. He was ordered by King Abdullah to be transferred from his home — which he had been unable to leave for over two years — to the country's capital, Riyadh, to receive treatment. As a result of this treatment, he lost a total of — more than half his body weight — in six months. In 2016, Fox News reported he was walking with the assistance of a walker.

title: Bad faith (existentialism)

text: As conscious humans, we are always aware that we are more than what we are aware of, so we are not whatever we are aware of. We cannot, in this sense, be defined as our "intentional objects" of consciousness, including our restrictions imposed by (facticity) our personal history, character, bodies, or objective responsibility. Thus, as Sartre often repeated, "Human reality is what it is not, and it is not what it is." An example of what he means is being a doctor but wishing to "transcend" that to become a pig farmer. One is who one is not: a pig farmer, not who one is, a doctor.

title: Pigging

text: Location verification is often accomplished by surface instruments that record the pig's passage by either audible, magnetic, radio-transmission or other means. The sensors record when they detect the passage of the pig (time-of-arrival); this is then compared to the internal record for verification or adjustment. The external sensors may have Global Positioning System capability to assist in their location. A few pig passage indicators transmit the pig's passage, time and location, via satellite uplink. The pig itself cannot use GPS as the metal pipe blocks satellite signals.

title: Shen Dzu

text: Shen Dzu or God Pig, sometimes known as Holy pig (Traditional Chinese: 神豬, Simplified Chinese: 神猪; Mandarin Pinyin: shénzhū, Wade–Giles: shen-chu, Hokkien POJ: sîn-tu), are pigs that have been chronically fattened for use in Hakka religious and cultural ceremonies, for example, the New Year Lunar celebration in Sanxia, northern Taiwan. Pigs are fattened in a process similar to (and as controversial as) gavage to make them as large as possible in preparation for contests and awards at the festival. The heaviest pig is declared the winner and the owner may receive a prize. The winning pig and other pigs entered into the contest are ritually killed as a sacrifice to a city god or a local deity, a popular one being the deified Buddhist monk Qingshui Zushi.

title: The Biggest Loser (season 7)

text: Eleven new couples arrive at the ranch. Season 7 featured several new records – the oldest couple (Jerry and Estella, each age 63), the youngest man (Mike, age 18), the heaviest female (Carla, 379 lbs/172 kg), the heaviest male/contestant (Daniel, 454 lbs/206 kg), and the most 400+-pound contestants (three) in American Biggest Loser history. The average age of the contestants is 34; they take a total of 45 different medications, making them both the sickest and the heaviest group of contestants to date.

title: Theory of mind in animals

text: An experiment at the University of Bristol found that one out of ten pigs was possibly able to understand what other pigs can see. That pig observed another pig which had view of a maze in which food was being hidden, and trailed that pig through the maze to the food. The other pigs involved in the experiment did not.

title: Holes (novel)

text: Stanley's great-great-grandfather, Elya Yelnats, is in love with a fifteen-year-old girl named Myra Menke. However, a much older pig farmer named Igor Barkov also wants to marry her, offering Myra's father his heaviest pig in exchange for Myra's hand in marriage.

title: Tad Williams

text: "I spent a good portion of a day on agricultural websites, and specifically, because I wanted to get an emotional feeling for pigs—not just a clinical, dry feeling—I also went and researched pig enthusiast websites. I don’t mean the kind of websites you have to hide from your children, I mean there are people in America, probably here too, who own pigs as pets and they write lots of articles about pigs and how pigs feel and what pigs like (besides other pigs)… Off the top of my head, I could not tell you how much a full-grown, male farm pig should weigh. I knew ‘Big,’ but when you’re a writer, you want to sound like you know what you’re talking about, so I actually went and spent some time."

title: Pig Latin

text: The modern version of Pig Latin appears in a 1919 Columbia Records album containing what sounds like the modern variation, by a singer named Arthur Fields. The song, called Pig Latin Love, is followed by the subtitle "I-Yay Ove-Lay oo-yay earie-day". The Three Stooges used it on multiple occasions, most notably "Tassels in the Air", a 1938 short where Moe Howard attempts to teach Curley Howard how to use it, thereby conveying the rules to the audience. In an earlier (1934) episode, "Three Little Pigskins", Larry Fine attempts to impress a woman with his skill in Pig Latin, but it turns out that she knows it, too. No explanation of the rules is given. A few months prior in 1934, in the "Our Gang" short film "Washee Ironee", Spanky tries to speak to an Asian boy by using Pig Latin. Ginger Rogers sang a verse of We're in the Money in pig Latin in an elaborate Busby Berkeley production number in the film Gold Diggers of 1933, (). The film, the third highest grossing of that year, was inducted into the National Film Registry and that song included in the all time top 100 movie songs by the American Film Institute. Merle Travis ends his song "When My Baby Double Talks To Me" with the phrase, "What a aybybay", where the last word is Pig Latin for "baby".

title: Now That's What I Call Music!

text: The series took its name from a 1920s advertising poster for Danish bacon featuring a pig saying "Now. That's What I Call Music" as it listened to a chicken singing. Richard Branson had bought the poster for his cousin, Simon Draper, to hang behind Draper's desk at the Virgin Records office. Branson wrote "He was notoriously grumpy before breakfast and loved his eggs in the morning, so I bought him the poster, framed it and had it hung behind his desk.". The pig became the mascot for the series', making its last appearance on "Now That's What I Call Music 5". It has recently made a reappearance on the cover of "Now That's What I Call Music! 100", which was released on 20 July 2018.

title: Pigs in a Polka

text: Once the first two pigs join the third pig in his brick house, the wolf again dresses up - this time as a homeless woman playing a violin, while it's snowing outside (the 'snow' actually talcum powder held above the wolf's head on a stick). The first two pigs have pity on the wolf, and despite the third pig blocking the door, the two other pigs let the wolf in. When the wolf continues to play the violin, the third pig sees that the wolf has a record player hidden behind him. The third pig switches to the other side of the record, putting on a fast-paced dance. The wolf dances to this new tune, but loses his costume as a result. The wolf then chases the pigs up to the second floor of the house. The pigs make their escape in an elevator but when the wolf tries to use the elevator he drops into an empty shaft and falls at the feet of the pigs.

title: Transcendent Pig

text: Wizards in the books are instructed to ask the pig what the meaning of life is as soon as they meet it, just in case the pig slips up and answers. He is aware that this is what they are trying to do and is relatively good natured about it.

title: Istead Rise

text: Istead Rise was a pig-farming community in the 1860s, situated in the North Downs pathway. A pig farm was on what is now the site of Istead Rise Primary School. Kent County Council bought the site for its school in the 1960s. Until then Istead Rise did not have a school as there were insufficient children in the area to make this viable. As well as a pig farm on Downs Road, there were orchards on what are now the Community Centre fields and the surrounding housing area. There was also a flower farm with large greenhouses around what is now Flower Hill House and Flowerhill Way. Frog Island is on the site of what is now Istead Rise Parade. Frog Island is also the name of the local Morris Men group. References to these can be found in the local history of Istead Rise "The Rise of the Rise", by Ken Jones.

title: Lipstick on a pig

text: The "lipstick" variant of the phrase is more modern (the word "lipstick" itself was only coined in 1880). The rhetorical effect of linking pigs with lipstick was explored in 1926 by Charles F. Lummis, in the "Los Angeles Times," when he wrote "Most of us know as much of history as a pig does of lipsticks." However, the first recorded uses of "putting lipstick on a pig" are later. In Stella Gibbons' "Westwood" (published in 1946) Hebe visits a hair salon and has her hair "contemptuously washed by Miss Susan, who had a face like a very young pig that had managed to get hold of a lipstick"

title: Serrano Bulldog

text: The best dogs for the work of submitting cattle and pigs were the most appreciated, and also those who knew to protect the cart and the horse of the tropeiro while it rested, being the light or heavy dogs what mattered was its aptitude for the work. The lighter ones also grazed the cattle, working more blatantly, helping the cowherds to take the cattle to their destination, the heaviest also accompanied the commissions, but on these occasions they accompanied the cowboy who was behind the procession, waiting for the command to fetch a wild ox from the dense forest when it was needed.

title: 10050 Cielo Drive

text: The final resident of the original house was the musician Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails. Reznor began renting the house in 1992 and set up a recording studio there. This studio, dubbed "Pig" (sometimes called "Le Pig") in a reference to murderer Susan Atkins' writing "Pig" in Tate's blood on the front door of the house, was the site of recording sessions for most of the Nine Inch Nails album "The Downward Spiral" (1994). Reznor moved out of the house in December 1993, later explaining "there was too much history in that house for me to handle."

title: Cabbage

text: There are several "Guinness Book of World Records" entries related to cabbage. These include the heaviest cabbage, at , heaviest red cabbage, at , longest cabbage roll, at , and the largest cabbage dish, at . In 2012, Scott Robb of Palmer, Alaska, broke the world record for heaviest cabbage at .

title: Mr. Self Destruct

text: Reznor was considering Adrian Belew (who played in several bands, including King Crimson and the live band for David Bowie) exhibited to Le Pig, so Flood made a welcoming phone call and invited him to the house surrounding the studio (10050 Cielo Drive). Upon entering Le Pig he asked, "Hi, what do you want me to do?". The production team communicated back to Belew, who spoke about what tuning the song was played at. Reznor responded, "Um, I'm not sure. Probably E. See what happens. Don't worry about it. Here's the tape, [and] do whatever you want. Go!". Belew eventually recorded what became the odd ending of the song.

title: Pig Destroyer

text: "Prowler in the Yard", released in 2001, was the first of the band's records to really break through to what could contextually be considered the "mainstream." Garnering rave reviews from popular press such as "Kerrang!" and "Terrorizer", the record earned Pig Destroyer headlining slots at the 2002 New England Metal and Hardcore Festival and the 2002 Relapse Records CMJ Showcase, as well as a high placing at 2003's Relapse Contamination Fest alongside scene legends High on Fire and The Dillinger Escape Plan (documented on the Relapse Contamination Fest DVD).

title: Johnny Strange

text:
Strange holds multiple Guinness World Records. In 2013 he gained the nickname ""the man with ears of steel"" after setting the official Guinness World Record for 'the heaviest weight lifted by pierced ears'. Guinness soon challenged him to attempt 'the heaviest vehicle pulled by pierced ears', Strange accepted their challenge and at North Weald Airfield he managed to pull a Cessna 172-P aircraft for 67 ft. After setting this new record Strange became the first person to hold both the record for 'the heaviest weight lifted by pierced ears' and 'the heaviest vehicle pulled by pierced ears' at the same time.
Some of his records include;

title: Portrait of an American Family

text: Sections of the album were recorded and mixed at 10050 Cielo Drive: the address where members of the Manson Family committed the Tate murders. Reznor purchased the property in 1992 and built a home recording studio inside the residence, which he named 'Pig'—a reference to that word being written with Sharon Tate's blood on the front door of the house on the night of the massacre. The studio is credited as 'Le Pig' in the album's liner notes. Reznor has denied buying the property in an attempt to have the infamy of the massacre associated with his music, and chastised Manson for doing so, saying: "I wasn't trying to create some manufactured spooky thing. Any shock value to what I was doing was about trying to sneak subversive things to a wide audience. With [Manson] ... he knew exactly what he was doing and exactly what would be shocking. Those were very conscious decisions on his part. What I was doing wasn't the same thing." Following this period of re-recording, "The Manson Family Album" was retitled to "Portrait of an American Family". Mosimann was listed in the liner notes as an engineer, with no mention of his original production role.

title: Primo Carnera

text: Valuev also broke Carnera's record of 270Ibs to become the heaviest world champion in history, weighing as high as 328Ibs during his reign. Carnera still ranks as the second-heaviest, over eighty years after he held the title.

title: War pig

text: Pliny the Elder reported that "elephants are scared by the smallest squeal of the hog". Aelian confirmed that elephants were frightened by squealing pigs (and rams with horns), and reported that the Romans exploited squealing pigs (and rams) to repel the war elephants of Pyrrhus in 275 BC. Procopius, in "History of the Wars", records that the defenders of Edessa suspended a squealing pig from the walls to frighten away Khosrau's single siege elephant in the sixth century AD.

title: Meow (cat)

text: Domestic cats are similar in size to the other members of the genus "Felis", typically weighing between and . However, Meow weighed , making him the heaviest cat in the world at the time, although not the heaviest on record. Himmy, a cat from Australia, weighed 21.3 kilograms (46.8 pounds) at his death during his tenth year, in 1986. Guinness World Records has since stopped recording the world's heaviest pets in order to discourage deliberate overfeeding.

title: Eman Ahmed Abd El Aty

text: Eman Ahmed Abd El Aty (9 September 1980 – 25 September 2017) was considered to be the heaviest living woman in the world and the second heaviest woman in history (after Carol Yager). However, at 4'7½", Eman was about a foot shorter than Carol Yager (5'7"), giving her the highest recorded BMI at 251.1 and body fat percentage. Her initial weight was claimed to be around .

title: Aomori (city)

text: Aomori and its surrounding area are renowned for heavy snowfall, the heaviest among all Japanese cities, and, in fact, among the heaviest in the world. In February 1945 the city recorded a maximum snow cover of , but the extreme low of was recorded 14 years earlier. In contrast, Sapporo's heaviest snowfall occurred in 1939, and that was only , and more northerly Wakkanai has recorded similar maxima. The particularly heavy snow is caused by several winds that collide around the city and make the air rise and cool, resulting in quick, thick cloud formation followed by intense precipitation.

title: Victor Andres Triay

text: Three years later, Triay published "Bay of Pigs: An Oral History of Brigade 2506", a historical account of the Bay of Pigs invasion through the eyes of the men in the U.S.-sponsored liberation army. Triay was awarded the Florida Historical Society’s Samuel Proctor Oral History Prize in 2001 for "Bay of Pigs". The work was subsequently picked up by Random House for release in Spanish translation, releasing it in 2003 under the title, "La Patria Nos Espera". Triay, who knew several Brigade veterans during his upbringing, said of his motives for writing the book, ``I felt there was a tremendous distortion in the works others did about the Cuban-American experience, and my goal as a historian has been to be honest about what happened and clarify some of those distortions. Some of what you read made the exiles look like a bunch of blind, maniacal, machete-wielding anti-Communist, anti-Castro fanatics. But it wasn't like that. They were fighting for democracy. They were very idealistic and wanted a revolution in Cuba but felt they had been betrayed by Castro.

title: The Pigs

text: The Pigs are a Bristol-based punk rock band formed in 1977. They recorded an EP, Youthanasia, for independent label New Bristol Records in August of that year.

title: Cult Fiction

text: Spitfire had this to say about the writing process: "We are writing what is turning out to be the darkest, heaviest, and most diverse record any of us have ever written. Our approach to this record is to saturate it with more emotion than we ever have put into our music before."

title: Michoacán

text: From the 16th to the 18th centuries, Augustinian, Franciscan and Carmelite missions were constructed in the territory as well as civil constructions, especially in the city now known as Morelia. Mining in areas such as Angangueo, Tlalpujahua and Inguaran had begun, as well as the establishment of agricultural and livestock haciendas. The first school of higher education, called the Primera Casa de Altos Estudios en América, was founded by Alonso de la Veracruz in Tiripetío.[13] Michoacán was made a separate province from "Mexico" in 1602. By the mid-17th century, the indigenous population had declined by half. In 1776, the territory of Michoacán was reduced to the area in which the modern states of Michoacán and Colima are now. Soon after, Colima split to join with the province of Guadalajara, leaving Michoacán roughly with the territory it has today.[11]

title: Lázaro Cárdenas

text: Cárdenas set his sights on becoming a teacher, but was drawn into politics and the military during the Mexican Revolution after Victoriano Huerta overthrew President Francisco Madero in February 1913. Michoacán was far from the revolutionary action that had brought Madero to the Mexican presidency, but after Huerta's coup and Madero's assassination, Cárdenas joined a group of Zapatistas, but Huerta's forces scattered the group, where Cárdenas had served as captain and paymaster. Since revolutionary forces were voluntary organizations, his position of leadership points to his skills and his being paymaster to the perception that he would be honest in financial matters. Both characteristics followed him through his subsequent career. He escaped the Federal forces in Michoacán and moved north where he served initially with Álvaro Obregón, then Pancho Villa, and after 1915 when Villa was defeated by Obregón to Plutarco Elías Calles, who served Constitutionalist leader, Venustiano Carranza. Although Cárdenas was from the southern state of Michoacán, his key experiences in the Revolution were with northerners, whose faction won. In particular, he served under Calles, who tasked him with military operations against Yaqui Indians and against Zapatistas in Michoacán and Jalisco, during which time he rose to a field command as general, and then in 1920 after Carranza was overthrown by northern generals, Cárdenas was given the rank of brigadier general at the age of 25. Cárdenas was appointed provisional governor of his home state of Michoacán under the brief presidency of Adolfo de la Huerta.

query: How many petals does the Arabidopsis thaliana get?

title: Arabidopsis thaliana

text: A. thaliana has been extensively studied as a model for flower development. The developing flower has four basic organs: sepals, petals, stamens, and carpels (which go on to form pistils). These organs are arranged in a series of whorls: four sepals on the outer whorl, followed by four petals inside this, six stamens, and a central carpel region. Homeotic mutations in A. thaliana result in the change of one organ to another — in the case of the agamous mutation, for example, stamens become petals and carpels are replaced with a new flower, resulting in a recursively repeated sepal-petal-petal pattern.

text: GAI or Gibberellic-Acid Insensitive is a gene in "Arabidopsis thaliana" which is involved in regulation of plant growth. GAI represses the pathway of gibberellin-sensitive plant growth. It does this by way of its conserved DELLA motif.

title: Arabidopsis thaliana

text: Arabidopsis thaliana, the thale cress, mouse-ear cress or arabidopsis, is a small flowering plant native to Eurasia and Africa.[2][3][4][5][6][7] A. thaliana is considered a weed; it is found by roadsides and in disturbed land.

title: Evolutionary history of plants

text:
Another example is that of "Linaria vulgaris", which has two kinds of flower symmetries-radial and bilateral. These symmetries are due to epigenetic changes in just one gene called "CYCLOIDEA".
"Arabidopsis thaliana" has a gene called "AGAMOUS" that plays an important role in defining how many petals and sepals and other organs are generated. Mutations in this gene give rise to the floral meristem obtaining an indeterminate fate, and proliferation of floral organs in double-flowered forms of roses, carnations and morning glory. These phenotypes have been selected by horticulturists for their increased number of petals. Several studies on diverse plants like petunia, tomato, Impatiens, maize etc. have suggested that the enormous diversity of flowers is a result of small changes in genes controlling their development.

title: Plant evolutionary developmental biology

text: "Arabidopsis thaliana" has a gene called "AGAMOUS" that plays an important role in defining how many petals and sepals and other organs are generated. Mutations in this gene give rise to the floral meristem obtaining an indeterminate fate, and many floral organs keep on getting produced. We have flowers like roses, carnations and morning glory, for example, that have very dense floral organs. These flowers have been selected by horticulturists since long for increased number of petals. Researchers have found that the morphology of these flowers is because of strong mutations in the "AGAMOUS" homolog in these plants, which leads to them making a large number of petals and sepals. Several studies on diverse plants like petunia, tomato, impatiens, maize etc. have suggested that the enormous diversity of flowers is a result of small changes in genes controlling their development.

title: Chloroplast DNA

text: "Arabidopsis thaliana" has two homologous proteins, AtToc33 and AtToc34 (The "At" stands for "Arabidopsis thaliana"), which are each about 60% identical in amino acid sequence to Toc34 in peas (called "ps"Toc34). AtToc33 is the most common in "Arabidopsis", and it is the functional analogue of Toc34 because it can be turned off by phosphorylation. AtToc34 on the other hand cannot be phosphorylated.

title: Arabidopsis thaliana

text: The plant was first described in 1577 in the Harz Mountains by Johannes Thal (1542–1583), a physician from Nordhausen, Thüringen, Germany, who called it Pilosella siliquosa. In 1753, Carl Linnaeus renamed the plant Arabis thaliana in honor of Thal. In 1842, the German botanist Gustav Heynhold erected the new genus Arabidopsis and placed the plant in that genus. The genus name, Arabidopsis, comes from Greek, meaning "resembling Arabis" (the genus in which Linnaeus had initially placed it).

title: History of research on Arabidopsis thaliana

text:
Arabidopsis thaliana is a first class model organism and the single most important species
for fundamental research in plant molecular genetics.

title: Arabidopsis thaliana

text: A. thaliana readily grows and often pioneers rocky, sandy and calcareous soils. It is generally considered a weed, due to its widespread distribution in agricultural fields, roadside, railway lines, waste ground and other disturbed habitat,[19][21] but due to its limited competitive ability and small size it is not categorized as a noxious weed.[22] Like most Brassicaceae species, A. thaliana is edible by humans as a salad or cooked, but it does not enjoy a widespread use as a spring vegetable.[19]

title: Root

text: Research of Arabidopsis has led to the discovery of how this auxin mediated root response works. In an attempt to discover the role that phytochrome plays in lateral root development, Salisbury et al. (2007) worked with "Arabidopsis thaliana" grown on agar plates. Salisbury et al. used wild type plants along with varying protein knockout and gene knockout Arabidopsis mutants to observe the results these mutations had on the root architecture, protein presence, and gene expression. To do this, Salisbury et al. used GFP fluorescence along with other forms of both macro and microscopic imagery to observe any changes various mutations caused. From these research, Salisbury et al. were able to theorize that shoot located phytochromes alter auxin levels in roots, controlling lateral root development and overall root architecture. In the experiments of van Gelderen et al. (2018), they wanted to see if and how it is that the shoot of "Arabidopsis thaliana" alters and affects root development and root architecture. To do this, they took Arabidopsis plants, grew them in agar gel, and exposed the roots and shoots to separate sources of light. From here, they altered the different wavelengths of light the shoot and root of the plants were receiving and recorded the lateral root density, amount of lateral roots, and the general architecture of the lateral roots. To identify the function of specific photoreceptors, proteins, genes, and hormones, they utilized various Arabidopsis knockout mutants and observed the resulting changes in lateral roots architecture. Through their observations and various experiments, van Gelderen et al. were able to develop a mechanism for how root detection of Red to Far-red light ratios alter lateral root development.

title: Evolutionary history of plants

text: Many of the genes involved in this process are conserved across all the plants studied. Sometimes though, despite genetic conservation, the mechanism of action turns out to be different. For example, rice is a short-day plant, while "Arabidopsis thaliana" is a long-day plant. Both plants have the proteins "CO" and "FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT)", but, in "Arabidopsis thaliana", "CO" enhances "FT" production, while in rice, the "CO" homolog represses "FT" production, resulting in completely opposite downstream effects.

title: Arabidopsis thaliana

text: The small size of its genome, and the fact that it is diploid, makes Arabidopsis thaliana useful for genetic mapping and sequencing — with about 135 mega base pairs[33] and five chromosomes, A. thaliana has one of the smallest genomes among plants.[8] It was long thought to have the smallest genome of all flowering plants,[34] but that title is now considered to belong to plants in the genus Genlisea, order Lamiales, with Genlisea tuberosa, a carnivorous plant, showing a genome size of approximately 61Mbp.[35] It was the first plant genome to be sequenced, completed in 2000 by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative.[36] The most up-to-date version of the A. thaliana genome is maintained by the Arabidopsis Information Resource (TAIR).[37] Much work has been done to assign functions to its 27,000 genes and the 35,000 proteins they encode.[38] Post-genomic research, such as metabolomics, has also provided useful insights to the metabolism of this species and how environmental perturbations [39] can affect metabolic processes.[40]

title: Arabidopsis lyrata

text: Arabidopsis lyrata is a species of flowering plant in the family Brassicaceae, closely related to the model organism "Arabidopsis thaliana".

text:
DNA microarray technology
was rapidly adopted for "A. thaliana" research
and led to the development
of "atlases" of gene expression
in different tissues and under different conditions.
The "A. thaliana" genome sequence,
and low-cost Sanger sequencing,
and ease of transformation
facilated genome-wide mutagenesis,
yielding collections
of sequence-indexed transposon mutant
and (especially) T-DNA mutant lines.
The ease and speed
of ordering mutant seed from stock centers
dramatically accelerated
"reverse genetic" study of many gene families;
the Arabidopsis Biological Resource Center
and the Nottingham Arabidopsis Stock Centre
were important in this regard,
and information on stock availability was integrated
into The Arabidopsis Information Resource database.

title: Arabidopsis thaliana

text: Observations of homeotic mutations led to the formulation of the ABC model of flower development by E. Coen and E. Meyerowitz.[52] According to this model, floral organ identity genes are divided into three classes: class A genes (which affect sepals and petals), class B genes (which affect petals and stamens), and class C genes (which affect stamens and carpels). These genes code for transcription factors that combine to cause tissue specification in their respective regions during development. Although developed through study of A. thaliana flowers, this model is generally applicable to other flowering plants.

title: Arabidopsis thaliana

text: Ongoing research on Arabidopsis thaliana is being performed on the International Space Station by the European Space Agency. The goals are to study the growth and reproduction of plants from seed to seed in microgravity.[83][84]

title: Helical growth

text:
Helical growth of single cells, as seen in "Phycomyces" (Fungi) and "Nitella" (Characeae), is believed to be caused by a helical arrangement of microfibrils in the cell wall. This was suggested by birefringence analyses of cell walls. In "Arabidopsis thaliana" mutants helical growth is exhibited at the organ level. Mutant analysis strongly supports the idea that cortical microtubules have an important role in controlling the direction of organ expansion in plants. It is not clear how helical growth mutants affect cell wall assembly of "Arabidopsis thaliana".
Helical growth is the expansion of fungal, algal or higher plant cells or organs that leads to twisted growth of plants

title: Cytokinin signaling and response regulator protein

text: In "Arabidopsis thaliana", most histidine phosphotransfer proteins are redundant, positive regulators in cytokinin signaling. Most of the "Arabidopsis thaliana" histidine phosphotransfer proteins have functional overlap and affect many aspects of plant development. AHP4, however, might play a negative role in cytokinin responses.

text:
"A. thaliana" quickly became an important model for the study of plant small RNAs.
The "argonaute1" mutant, named for its resemblance to an "Argonauta" octopuses, was the namesake for the Argonaute protein family central to silencing.
Forward genetic screens focused on vegetative phase change uncovered many genes controlling small RNA biogenesis.
"A. thaliana" became an important model for RNA-directed RNA methylation (transcriptional silencing), partly because many "A. thaliana" methylation mutants are viable, which is not the case for several model animals (in which such mutations cause lethality).

title: Arabidopsis

text: In the last two decades, "Arabidopsis thaliana" has gained much interest from the scientific community as a model organism for research on numerous aspects of plant biology. The Arabidopsis Information Resource (TAIR) is a curated online information source for "Arabidopsis thaliana" genetic and molecular biology research, and The Arabidopsis Book is an online compilation of invited chapters on "Arabidopsis thaliana" biology. In Europe, the model organism resource centre for "Arabidopsis thaliana" germplasm, bioinformatics and molecular biology resources (including GeneChips) is the Nottingham Arabidopsis Stock Centre – NASC whilst in North America germplasm services are provided by the Arabidopsis Biological Resource Center, (ABRC) based at the Ohio State University. The ordering system for ABRC was incorporated into The Arabidopsis Information Resource (TAIR) database in June 2001 whilst NASC has always (since 1991) hosted its own ordering system and genome browser.

text:
"A. thaliana" was the first plant for which a high-quality reference genome sequence was determined (see below), and a worldwide research community has developed many other genetic resources and tools.
The experimental advantages of "A. thaliana" have enabled many important discoveries.
These advantages have been extensively reviewed,
as has its role in fundamental discoveries
about the plant immune system,
natural variation,
and other areas.

text:
As the NSF 2010 project neared completion, there was a perceived decrease in funding agency interest in "A. thaliana", evidenced by the cessation of USDA funding for "A. thaliana" research, the end of NSF funding for The Arabidopsis Information Resource database, and the rise of new genome-sequence-enabled model plant species (including crops).
Nevertheless, "A. thaliana" remains a popular model, and continues to be the subject of intense study using new technologies such as high-throughput short-read sequencing.
Mapping of mutations from forward screens
is increasingly done
with direct genome sequencing,
combined in some cases with bulked segregant analysis
or backcrossing.
"A. thaliana" is a premier model
for studies of natural genetic variation,
including genome-wide association studies.
Short RNA-guided DNA editing with CRISPR tools has been applied to "A. thaliana" since at least 2013.

text:
As a model organism, the "Arabidopsis thaliana" response to salinity is studied to aid understanding of other more economically important crops.
High concentration of salt in the soil has negative effects on plants. For example, it reduces the yield that crop plants can produce in 7% of the land. On the other side, some plants show adaptations to changes in soil salinity, in that the plant's exposure to salt initiates certain mechanisms for cell osmotic regulation and causes changes in this plant's water obtaining and loss behaviors. One of such plants is the model plant "Arabidopsis thaliana", a member of the Brassicaceae family. "Arabidopsis thaliana" is native to Eurasia and was introduced to some parts of North America. It grows in rocky, sandy and disturbed terrains. It has been found in many studies that "Arabidopsis thaliana" showed enhanced Na and H extrusion from their cells after exposure to high salinity. Part of "Arabidopsis"’ range might have included high salinity soil and the plant started adapting to that.

title: Gustav Heynhold

text: In 1841, he renamed "Arabis thaliana" as "Arabidopsis thaliana" (L.) Heynh. "Arabidopsis" was the first plant to have its genome sequenced, and is frequently used as a model for understanding the molecular biology of many plant traits, including flower development and light sensing.

title: Arabidopsis thaliana

text: In the 1950s and 1960s, John Langridge and George Rédei played an important role in establishing A. thaliana as a useful organism for biological laboratory experiments. Rédei wrote several scholarly reviews instrumental in introducing the model to the scientific community. The start of the A. thaliana research community dates to a newsletter called Arabidopsis Information Service (AIS), established in 1964. The first International Arabidopsis Conference was held in 1965, in Göttingen, Germany.

title: Arabidopsis thaliana

text: It is important to understand how plants achieve resistance to protect the world's food production, as well as the agriculture industry. Many model systems have been developed to better understand interactions between plants and bacterial, fungal, oomycete, viral, and nematode pathogens. Arabidopsis thaliana has been a powerful tool for the study of the subdicipline of plant pathology, that is, the interaction between plants and disease-causing pathogens.

title: Pseudomonas syringae

text: Many gene-for-gene relationships have been identified using the two model organisms, "P. syringae" pv. tomato strain DC3000 and "Arabidopsis". The gene-for-gene relationship describes the recognition of pathogenic avirulence ("avr") genes by host resistance genes (R-genes). "P. syringae" pv. tomato DC3000 is a useful tool for studying "avr": R-gene interactions in "A. thaliana" because it can be transformed with "avr" genes from other bacterial pathogens, and furthermore, because none of the endogenous" hops" genes is recognized by "A. thaliana", any observed aver recognition identified using this model can be attributed to recognition of the introduced "avr" by "A. thaliana". The transformation of "P. syringae" pv tomato DC3000 with effectors from other pathogens have led to the identification of many R-genes in "Arabidopsis" to further advance knowledge of plant pathogen interactions.

text: Many genes in the flowering time pathway are conserved across all plants studied to date. However, this does not mean that the mechanism of action is similarly conserved. For example, the monocot rice accelerates its flowering in short-day conditions, while "Arabidopsis thaliana", a eudicot, responds to long-day conditions. In both plants, the proteins "CO" and "FT" are present but in "Arabidopsis thaliana" "CO" enhances "FT" production, while in rice the "CO" homolog represses "FT" production, resulting in completely opposite downstream effects.

title: Arabidopsis thaliana

text: The use of A. thaliana has led to many breakthroughs in the advancement of knowledge of how plants manifest plant disease resistance. The reason most plants are resistant to most pathogens is through nonhost resistance. This is, not all pathogens will infect all plants. An example where A. thaliana was used to determine the genes responsible for nonhost resistance is Blumeria graminis, the causal agent of powdery mildew of grasses. A. thaliana mutants were developed using the mutagen ethyl methanesulfonate and screened to identify mutants with increased infection by B. graminis.[65][66][67] The mutants with higher infection rates are referred to as PEN mutants due to the ability of B. graminis to penetrate A. thaliana to begin the disease process. The PEN genes were later mapped to identify the genes responsible for nonhost resistance to B. graminis.


query: What's hegemony?

title: Hegemony

text: Hegemony (UK: /hɪˈɡɛməni, hɪˈdʒɛməni/, US: /hɪˈdʒɛməni/ (pronunciation) or /ˈhɛdʒəˌmoʊni/) is the political, economic, or military predominance or control of one state over others.[1][2][3][4] In ancient Greece (8th century BC – 6th century AD), hegemony denoted the politico-military dominance of a city-state over other city-states.[5] The dominant state is known as the hegemon.[6]

title: England–Wales border

text: After Ine of Wessex abdicated in 726, Æthelbald of Mercia established Mercia's hegemony over the Anglo-Saxons south of the Humber. However, campaigns by Powys against Mercia led to the building of Wat's Dyke, an earthwork boundary extending from the Severn valley near Oswestry to the Dee at Basingwerk in what became Flintshire, perhaps to protect recently acquired lands.[4] After Æthelbald was killed in 757, a brief civil war in Mercia then ended in victory for his distant cousin, Offa. As king, he rebuilt Mercia's hegemony over the southern English through military campaigns, and also caused the construction of Offa's Dyke, around the years 770 and 780.[7]

title: Power transition theory

text: At 1518, Portugal assumed a hegemonic position in world politics. However, as the Netherlands (which was experiencing the Dutch Golden Age) rose in power, a series of struggles led to the destruction of Spain's power and a transition to Dutch hegemony. Dutch hegemony was brought into question again in 1688 with the Wars of Louis XIV, which resulted in what is referred to as the "Britain I Cycle", the Napoleonic Wars interrupted this cycle and questioned the hegemony Britain possessed. However, Britain's victory resulted in maintenance of power and the "Britain II Cycle". This cycle ended with the World Wars and Wittkopf shows the period of 1914-1945 as one of particular turbulence in which no power maintained hegemony, even after the Treaty of Versailles. After the second World War, a drastic increase in seapower concentration by the United States was experienced and it – along with the Soviet Union – became the world's first superpowers.

title: Hegemony or Survival

text: Chomsky's main argument in "Hegemony or Survival" is that the socio-economic elite who control the United States have pursued an "Imperial Grand Strategy" since the end of World War II to maintain global hegemony through military, political, and economic means. He argues that in doing so they have repeatedly shown a total disregard for democracy and human rights, in stark contrast to the US government's professed support for those values. He further argues that this continual pursuit of global hegemony threatens the existence of humanity itself because of the increasing proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.

title: After Hegemony

text: After Hegemony (full title: "After Hegemony: Cooperation and Discord in the World Political Economy") is a book by Robert Keohane. It is a leading text in the neo-liberal school of international relations scholarship.

title: Ernesto Laclau

text: Laclau's early work was influenced by Althusserian Marxism and focused on issues debated within Neo-Marxist circles in the 1970s, such as the role of the state, the dynamics of capitalism, the importance of building popular movements, and the possibility of revolution. Laclau's most significant book is "Hegemony and Socialist Strategy", which he co-authored with Chantal Mouffe in 1985. The position outlined in this book is usually described as post-Marxist because it rejects (a) Marxist economic determinism and (b) the view that class struggle is the most important antagonism in society. In their 2001 introduction to the second edition Laclau and Mouffe commented on this label, stating that whilst "'post"-Marxist' they were also 'post-"Marxist"': their work, though a departure from traditional Western Marxism, retained similar concerns and ideas. A key innovation in "Hegemony and Socialist Strategy" was Laclau and Mouffe's argument that left-wing movements need to build alliances with a wide variety of different groups if they are to be successful and establish a left-wing 'hegemony'. In the final chapter of the book, the project of "radical and plural democracy" was advocated: a democracy in which subjects accept the importance of the values of liberty and equality, but fight over what the terms mean.

title: Neagu Djuvara

text: He also wrote about what he called the "American hegemony" and its premises, analysing the influence which the United States and its foreign policy have had on the world and, more specifically, on Europe. He characterised the efforts of the United States to establish what resembles a hegemony in Europe and other parts of the world as a "Seventy-Seven Years' War" waged throughout most of the 20th century.

title: Restraint (book)

text: In the second half of the book, Posen explains why restraint would be a better grand strategy to follow than liberal hegemony. He details what the strategy would look like and what sort of military would be needed to achieve this.

title: Cultural hegemony

text: Cultural hegemony has philosophically influenced Eurocommunism, the social sciences, and the activist politics of socially liberal and progressive politicians. The analytic discourse of cultural hegemony is important to research and synthesis in anthropology, political science, sociology, and cultural studies; in education, cultural hegemony developed critical pedagogy, by which the root causes of political and social discontent can be identified, and so resolved.

title: Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri

text: As the game begins, pirates steal a shipment of highly destructive "Petrovsk grenades". A reconnaissance mission by Nikola identifies the grenades at a heavily defended pirate base, and they are recovered en route to a transport ship. Without the grenades, the base is assaulted by Strike Force Centauri, and Hegemony equipment is found there. When MacPherson confronts Pentheus about the incident, he denies involvement. Proof of the Hegemony's intentions is later found at a Thatcher smuggling base, and Pentheus declares war on the Centauri colonies. Now knowing the pirates are funded by the Hegemony, MacPherson suspects that a previous information leak was in fact the work of a Hegemony spy; Nikola questions Brandt, who responds with indignance. After a series of missions against the Hegemony, Nikola's aircraft is ambushed and shot down, and he is captured by Pentheus. During this time, Pentheus tells him that a traitor within Strike Force Centauri is responsible for the ambush. The squad rescues Nikola, but Schuyler is killed in the assault. At his funeral, Ashford accuses Nikola as the traitor.

title: Smart power

text: A successful smart power narrative for the United States in the twenty-first century, Nye argues, will not obsess over power maximization or the preservation of hegemony. Rather, it will find "ways to combine resources into successful strategies in the new context of power diffusion and the 'rise of the rest.'" A successful smart power strategy will provide answers to the following questions: 1) What goals or outcomes are preferred? 2) What resources are available and in which contexts? 3) What are the positions and preferences of the targets of attempts at influence? 4) Which forms of power behavior are most likely to succeed? 5) What is the probability of success?

title: Chua Beng Huat

text: One noteworthy work in the area of comparative politics in Southeast Asia is his discussion of communitarian politics. He asserts that liberalism and democracy do not necessarily have to go hand in hand in Asia. With nationhood being a new phenomenon and liberalism lacking deep historical roots in much of Asia, he questioned what other values instead of those of liberalism might be promoted in these regions, and analyzed dynamics that surround construing national ideologies in communitarian terms. In this way, he revealed how social practices in parts of Asia disrupt the global hegemony of liberalism. In "Communitarian Ideology and Democracy in Singapore" for instance, a book that radically reoriented the analysis of politics in Singapore, he demonstrated that the undisrupted reign of People’s Action Party (PAP) was based on its ability to develop and maintain a Gramscian sense of ideological hegemony, since the mid-1970s, rather than on authoritarianism. This ideological hegemony had enabled the Party to shift towards the concept of ‘Asian democracy’, an attempt to supplant liberalism with ‘Asian’ communitarism.

title: Harald Fairhair's campaign in Götaland

text: Snorri Sturluson writes in "Harald Fairhair's saga" that Harald Fairhair disputed the Swedish king Eric Eymundsson's hegemony in what is today southern Norway.

title: Empire

text: In 2004 Eliot A. Cohen summarized the contemporary transition from empire: "The Age of Empire may indeed have ended, but then an age of American hegemony has begun, regardless of what one calls it."

title: Hegemony or Survival

text: In September 2006, Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez held up a Spanish-language copy of "Hegemony or Survival" during his speech at the United Nations. Chávez praised the work as an "excellent book to help us understand what has been happening in the world throughout the 20th century". He urged everyone present to read it, including those in the U.S., remarking that "I think that the first people who should read this book are our brothers and sisters in the United States, because their threat is right in their own house." A vocal anti-imperialist and prominent critic of U.S. foreign policy, particularly in his native Latin America, Chávez went on to describe U.S. President Bush as the "devil" in his speech.

title: Nalin de Silva

text:
Prof. De Silva has also been a vocal opponent of what he calls western cultural dominance which he claims is in its final phase.
The western Christian modernity (WCM) is in the last phase of its hegemony and is acting like an insane person. It has no respect for the sovereignty of the other countries as has been exemplified from invasions, killings and supporting so called rebel groups in the countries in Asia and Africa. The USA that became the leader of WCM after the so called second world war is trying desperately to hold to the hegemony of WCM. After more than five hundred years of world domination WCM will have to leave the planet without making the people suffer more and more.

title: The Fall of Hyperion (novel)

text: The government of the Hegemony is described in detail during the course of the novel, and its role in the fictional universe forms several portions of the plot. Planets with full membership status in the Hegemony select senators to serve in the upper house of the legislature, while the lower house consists of the All Thing, a forum accessible to all citizens through "implants" that connect humans to the "datumplane", one of the computerized realities resembling the World Wide Web. The executive branch consists of a chief executive officer elected by the Senate. At the time of the novel's events, Meina Gladstone serves as the Hegemony's chief executive officer. Despite the democratic tendencies of this parliamentary form of government, the Hegemony has at times taken actions viewed as tyrannous, using its small but elite military, known as FORCE, to invade the sea planet Maui Covenant, which had resisted integration into the Hegemony as a protectorate. Planets not incorporated into the Hegemony are nonetheless affected by it, and its ambassadors effectively administer some planetary governments. Still, some worlds, thought of as the "Outback", are sparsely settled. The planet Hyperion is viewed as part of the Outback, but is viewed with special regard due to the succession of strange events that have occurred on it since the formation of the Hegemony. These events include colonization efforts that have failed due to the menace of mysterious forces, correctly believed by many to have been the work of the Shrike.

title: Hegemony

text: In France, King Louis XIV (1638–1715) and (Emperor) Napoleon I (1799–1815) attempted French true hegemony via economic, cultural and military domination of most of Continental Europe. However, Jeremy Black writes that, because of Britain, France "was unable to enjoy the benefits" of this hegemony.[24]

title: Hegemony

text: From the Gramsci analysis derived the political science denotation of hegemony as leadership; thus, the historical example of Prussia as the militarily and culturally predominant province of the German Empire (Second Reich 1871–1918); and the personal and intellectual predominance of Napoleon Bonaparte upon the French Consulate (1799–1804).[40] Contemporarily, in Hegemony and Socialist Strategy (1985), Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe defined hegemony as a political relationship of power wherein a sub-ordinate society (collectivity) perform social tasks that are culturally unnatural and not beneficial to them, but that are in exclusive benefit to the imperial interests of the hegemon, the superior, ordinate power; hegemony is a military, political, and economic relationship that occurs as an articulation within political discourse.[41] Beyer analysed the contemporary hegemony of the United States at the example of the Global War on Terrorism and presented the mechanisms and processes of American exercise of power in 'hegemonic governance'.[32]

title: Hegemony

text: Bismarck defined the road ahead as … no expansion, no push for hegemony in Europe. Germany was to be the strongest power in Europe but without being a hegemon. … His basic axioms were first, no conflict among major powers in Central Europe; and second, German security without German hegemony."[26]

title: Regional hegemony

text: In international relations, regional hegemony is the hegemony (political, economic, or military predominance, control or influence) of one independently powerful state, known as the regional hegemon over other neighboring countries. The relationship between regional hegemons and the other states within their spheres of influence is analogous to the relationship between a global hegemon and the other states in the international system.

title: Hyperion (Simmons novel)

text: In crushing the rebellion, the military destroys the ecology as thoroughly as the tourists would have, but far more violently: all the dolphins die, as do a large proportion of the original Maui-Covenant colonists. The latter Consul was forbidden by Merin to join in the fighting, and so he survived to thrive with distinction in the Hegemony diplomatic corps. There he aids the Hegemony in destroying whatever resistance the Hegemony encounters. He bides his time, waiting for a chance to betray the Hegemony and achieve revenge.

title: The Fall of Hyperion (novel)

text: The Hegemony is opposed by the Ousters, renegade human colonies that fled the Hegemony's growing influence even before the events of the Hegira. Though seen by many Hegemony citizens as barbarians, the Ousters have a highly advanced culture that focuses primarily on the fine arts and on aesthetic values almost unknown amidst the many technologies of the WorldWeb. The Ousters have mutated physically, believing that they should adapt to their outer-space surroundings rather than adapt the surroundings themselves, as was the case with WorldWeb planets, and appear in a variety of forms throughout the course of the novel.

title: Cultural hegemony

text: In philosophy and in sociology, the term "cultural hegemony" has denotations and connotations derived from the Ancient Greek word "ἡγεμονία (hegemonia)" indicating leadership and rule. In politics, hegemony is the geopolitical method of indirect imperial dominance, with which the "hegemon" (leader state) rules subordinate states, by the threat of intervention, an implied means of power, rather than by direct military force, that is, invasion, occupation, and annexation.

title: Hegemony

text: The Marxist theory of cultural hegemony, associated particularly with Antonio Gramsci, is the idea that the ruling class can manipulate the value system and mores of a society, so that their view becomes the world view (Weltanschauung): in Terry Eagleton's words, "Gramsci normally uses the word hegemony to mean the ways in which a governing power wins consent to its rule from those it subjugates".[9] In contrast to authoritarian rule, cultural hegemony "is hegemonic only if those affected by it also consent to and struggle over its common sense".[10]

title: Regional hegemony

text: The prominent international relations scholar John Mearsheimer writes extensively about the pursuit of regional hegemony in his book, "The Tragedy of Great Power Politics". According to his theory, known as offensive realism, the anarchic nature of the international system, the desire for survival, and the uncertainty about other states' intentions ultimately lead states to pursue regional hegemony. According to Mearsheimer, global hegemony is an unattainable goal; instead, a state which has achieved the level of regional hegemon will then work to prevent the development of peer competitors in other regions.

text: The Hegemony itself is a largely decadent society, relying on its military to incorporate into the WorldWeb the colony planets, even unwillingly, and to defend the Hegemony from attacks by the Ousters, "interstellar barbarians" who dwell free of and beyond the bounds of the Hegemony and shun all the works of the TechnoCore (especially farcasters). Ostensibly a direct democracy governed through the "All Thing" forum, the Hegemony is also managed by a chief executive officer advised by the TechnoCore advisory council and the Hegemony Senate.

title: 2003 Cricket World Cup group stage

In sunshine, Craig Wishart and Mark Vermeulen came out to bat after Namibian captain Deon Kotze elected to field. This seemed to be a poor decision after Zimbabwe and in particular Craig Wishart raced away to a good start. Wishart got Zimbabwe off to a great start when he hit three boundaries in the second over of the innings. Zimbabwe seemed to be unstoppable until over number twenty one when the first wicket fell. Vermeulen was out (c & b Louw) on 39. Zimbabwe was able to add another 60 runs to the score before the second and final wicket of the first innings fell. The innings came to an end with Zimbabwe leaving Namibia a grand total of 340 runs to chase. CB Wishart top scored with a total of 172 not out. A heavy shower of rain interrupted the game for a few hours. When the game finally resumed, Namibia was given a reduced total of 191 runs to make in 25.1 overs, on the Duckworth-Lewis method. Namibia had a slow shaky start, losing a wicket in the first over. As the second innings proceeded, things kept looking worse for Namibia as wickets kept falling and not enough runs were being added to the total. Eventually the number of overs ran out and Namibia was only able to make 104 runs. Zimbabwe won by 86 runs.

title: White people in Zimbabwe

text: A University of Zimbabwe sociologist told IWPR journalist Benedict Unendoro, the "esprit de corps" of the white dominant class in the former Rhodesia prevented the poor white people from becoming a recognisable social group because of the social assistance provided by the dominant social class on racial grounds. This system broke down after the founding of Zimbabwe, causing the number of poor white people to increase especially after 2000, when the confiscation of white-owned farms took its toll. As rich white land owners emigrate or fend for themselves financially, their white employees who mainly worked as supervisors of black labour, found themselves destitute on the streets of cities like Harare, with many found begging around urban centres like Eastlea. The land confiscated from white owners has been redistributed to black peasant farmers and smallholders, acquired by commercial land companies, or persons connected to the regime.
