Protein trans-splicing in transgenic plant chloroplast: reconstruction of herbicide resistance from split genes.

abstract：:Synaptically released glutamate has been identified as a signal coupling excitatory neuronal activity to increased glucose utilization. The proposed mechanism of this coupling involves glutamate uptake into astrocytes resulting in increased intracellular Na+ (Nai+) and activation of the Na+/K+-ATPase. Increased metabo...
