Studies on the POLARIS gene of Arabidopsis
The POLARIS (PLS) gene of Arabidopsis encodes a 36 amino acid peptide required for correct root growth and vascular patterning. Previous work indicates that PLS acts as a negative regulator of ethylene signalling. The pls mutant has enhanced ethylene signalling, which is the key determinant of its …

The politics of innovative military doctrine : the U.S. Navy and fleet ballistic missiles
The Polaris and Trident II SLBM weapon systems were developed by the U.S. Navy during periods of major strategic nuclear modernization, when national leaders were concerned about the vulnerability of U.S. Air Force land based nuclear forces to Soviet attack. Both Navy systems provided a superior …
