Unreferenced date December 2009 Opines are low molecular weight compounds found in plant Crown Gall crown gall tumors or Hairy root culture hairy root tumors produced by parasitic bacteria of the genus Agrobacterium . Opine biosynthesis is catalyzed by specific enzymes encoded by genes contained in a small segment of DNA known as the T DNA, for transfer DNA , which is part of the Ti plasmid , inserted by the bacterium into the plant genome . The opines are used by the bacterium as an important source of nitrogen and energy. Each strain of Agrobacterium induces and catabolizes a specific set of opines. There are at least 30 different opines described so far.

Image Ti Plasmid.jpg thumb 350px right Ti plasmid with T DNA region The transfer DNA abbreviated T DNA is the transferred deoxyribonucleic acid DNA of the Ti plasmid tumor inducing Ti plasmid of some species of bacteria such as Agrobacterium tumefaciens and Agrobacterium rhizogenes . It derives its name from the fact that the bacterium transfers this DNA fragment into the host plant s cell nucleus nuclear DNA genome . The T DNA is bordered by 25 base pair repeats on each end. Transfer is initiated at the left border and terminated at the right border and requires the vir genes of the Ti plasmid. The bacterial T DNA is about 20,000 base pairs long and contains gene s that code for enzyme s synthesizing opines and phytohormone s. By transferring the T DNA into the plant genome, the bacterium essentially reprograms the plant cells to grow into a tumor and produce a unique food source for the bacteria. The synthesis of the plant hormones auxin and cytokinin enables the plant cell to grow uncontrollably, thus forming the crown gall tumor s typically induced by Agrobacterium infection. The opines are amino acid derivatives used by the bacterium as a source of carbon and energy. T DNA transformation Agrobacterium mediated T DNA transfer is widely used as a tool in biotechnology . In genetic engineering , the tumor promoting and opine synthesis genes are removed from the T DNA and replaced with a gene of interest and or a selection marker, this is required so that it is possible to establish which plants have been successfully transformed. Examples of selection markers include neomycin phosphotransferase , hygromycin B phosphotransferase which both phosphorylate antibiotics and phosphinothricin acetyltransferase which acetylates and deactivates phosphinothricin , a potent inhibitor of glutamine synthetase . Agrobacterium is then used as a vector to transfer the engineered T DNA into the plant cells where it integrates into the plant genome. This method can be used to genera ... more details
Image Ti Plasmid.jpg thumb 350px right The structure of the Ti plasmid Ti plasmid is a circular plasmid that often, but not always, is a part of the genetic equipment that Agrobacterium tumefaciens and Agrobacterium rhizogenes use to transduce its genetic material to plants. The Ti plasmid is lost when Agrobacterium is grown above 28 C. Such cured bacteria do not induce crown galls, i.e. they become avirulent. pTi and pRi share little sequence homology but are functionally rather similar. The Ti plasmids are classified into different types based on the type of opines opine produced by their genes. The different opines specified by pTi are octopine , nopaline , succinamopine and leucinopine . The plasmid has 196 gene s that code for 195 protein s. There is no one structural RNA . The plasmid is 206,479 nucleotide s long, the GC content is 56 and 81 of the material is coding genes. There are no pseudogene s. The genetic engineering modification of this plasmid is very important in the creation of transgenic plant s, but only in dicotyledon plants. Virulence Region Genes in the virulence region are grouped into the operons virABCDEFG , which code for the enzymes responsible for mediating transduction of T DNA to plant cells. ref cite journal author Scott E.Stachelt, Eugene W.Nester title The genetic and transcriptional organization of the vir region of the A6 Ti plasmid of Agrobacterium tumefaciens journal The EMBO Journal volume 5 issue 7 pages 1445 1454 year 1986 pmid 3017694 pmc 1166964 ref virA codes for a Receptor biochemistry receptor which reacts to the presence of phenolic compounds such as acetosyringone , ref name Schrammeijer cite journal doi 10.1093 jexbot 51.347.1167 author Schrammeijer, B., Beijersbergen, A., Idler, K.B., Melchers, L.S., Thompson, D.V., Hooykaas, P.J.J. title Sequence analysis of the vir region from Agrobacterium tumefaciens octopine Ti plasmid pTi15955 journal Journal of Experimental Botany volume 51 issue 347 pages 1167 1169 year 2000 u ... more details

Born in Austin, Texas Austin , Texas , Carson holds an MS in Quantitative Business Methods from Louisiana State University LSU , an MS in Industrial Engineering and Management Science from Northwestern University Northwestern and is ABD in Criminal Justice from Sam Houston State University. He has taught in the business schools of LSU, Loyola University Chicago , University of Illinois Chicago Circle , and Sam Houston State University. He often takes a contrarian view of strategic decision making. His writings emphasize that the loose versus tight conditions of a game are a strong driving force in evaluating a situation. In intermediate betting rounds in loose games, he opines it is often more valuable to play a good draw strongly than to do so with the current best hand, while in tighter games the opposite is often the case. His books and recent gambling related writings have been on poker, although he wrote on horse handicapping in the 1980s. He has also written on a wide range of non gambling topics ranging from human resource topics to commercial snail farming. He has written about gambling for CardPlayer , Poker Digest , American Turf Monthly , Racing Star Weekly , and websites Pokerpages.com, Pokermagazine.com, Pokerhands.com, and Gaminglinks.com.

Culture Industry Reconsidered was written by Theodor W. Adorno , a German philosopher. He was born on September 11, 1903. He belonged to the Frankfurt School of social theory. The Frankfurt School takes its name from the Institute for Social Research established in Frankfurt, Germany in 1923. Adorno along with Max Horkheimer published a book named Dialectic of Enlightenment in 1947. In this book they use the term cultural industry for the first time. Content In the essay Cultural Industry Reconsidered, Adorno replaces the expression mass culture with culture industry . This is to avoid the popular understanding of mass culture as the culture that arises from the masses.He prefers calling it culture industry because of the commodification of the culture forms or artistic objects. He opines that the cultural forms create a means of income for their creators and profit has become more important than the artistic expression. Hence, culture has turned into an industry and the cultural objects are looked at as products.One of the characteristics of cultural industry is that it intentionally integrates both the high and low art. By referring to the term industry, Adorno does not point to the production process instead he is looking at the standardization of the thing itself and to the rationalization of distribution techniques and not strictly to the production process. It is industrial more in a sociological sense, in terms of incorporation of the industrial forms of organization even though nothing is manufactured. He also makes clear the difference between the technique used in cultural industry and the technique used in works of art. In the works of art the technique refers to the formal organization of the object, with its inner logic, where as in cultural industry it refers to the distribution and the mechanical production. Thus technique in cultural industry is external to the object where as in the works of art it is internal. Adorno says that the masses are second ... more details
Plato , in Plato s Republic The Republic 507b 509c , uses the sun as a metaphor for the source of illumination , arguably intellectual illumination, which he held to be The Form of the Good , which is sometimes interpreted as Plato s notion of God . The metaphor is about the nature of ultimate reality and how knowledge is acquired concerning it. Socrates is the speaker of The Republic, but it is generally believed that the thoughts expressed are Plato s. The eye, Plato says, is unusual among the sense organs in that it needs a medium, namely light , in order to operate. The strongest and best source of light is the sun with it, objects can be discerned clearly. Analogous things, he writes, can be said of intelligible objects i.e., the fixed and eternal forms that are the ultimate objects of scientific and philosophical study When the soul is firmly fixed on the domain where truth and reality shine resplendent it apprehends and knows them and appears to possess reason, but when it inclines to that region which is mingled with darkness, the world of becoming and passing away, it opines only and its edge is blunted, and it shifts its opinions hither and thither, and again seems as if it lacked reason. The Republic bk. VI, 508d trans. Paul Shorey By the world of becoming and passing away Plato means the familiar visual or perceptual world we see around us. Thus if we attempt to understand why things are as they are, and what general categories can be used to understand various particulars around us, without reference to any forms universal metaphysics universal s , we will fail completely, as if we lacked reason . By contrast, the domain where truth and reality shine resplendent is none other than Plato s world of forms illuminated by the highest of the forms, that of the Good. Since true being resides in the world of the forms, we must direct our intellects there to have knowledge, in Plato s view otherwise, we are stuck with mere opinion of what may be likened to pass ... more details
