Germination in pea seeds : proteolytic enzyme activity and electron microscopy
(1989)This study was undertaken with two primary objectives in mind. The first objective was to isolate several pea seed hydrolases present during early seed germination. The second objective was to perform an ultrastructural ... -
Get on the good foot : do pedal asymmetries exist in the sprint start response?
(2005)The study of pedal asymmetries examines the differences in reaction time and movement time between the foot/hemisphere systems in humans. Although asymmetries have been examined using pointing movements research has yet ... -
