Cultural variability among nine isolates of <i>Urocystis agropyri</i> on wheat

Enzymatic variability among Brazilian Pythium insidiosum isolates.

BACKGROUND Pythium insidiosum is an oomycete classified in the kingdom Stramenopila. P. insidiosum hyphae are not able to initiate infection without the secretion of hydrolytic enzymes, which are considered an important factor in microbial virulence. AIMS To evaluate the extracellular enzymatic activity of 14 Brazilian P. insidiosum isolates and a standard strain (ATCC 58637) by the API-ZYM S...

on translation of phatic communion and socio-cultural relationships between the characters of the novels

phatic communion is a cultural concept which differs across cultures. according to hofstede (2001), the u.s. tends to have individualistic culture; however, asian countries tend to have collectivistic cultures. these cultures view phatic communion differently. in individualistic cultures like u.s., phatic communion reflects speakers’ socio-cultural relationships in conversations. to see whether...

Virulence and Genetic Variability Among Isolates of Mycosphaerella pinodes

Mycosphaerella blight, caused by Mycosphaerella pinodes (Berk. & Bloxam) Vestergr., is the most important foliar disease of field pea (Pisum sativum L.) worldwide (2,7,16,17,23,30,31). In Canada, average dry seed yield losses caused by this disease have been estimated at 10%, and losses of over 50% have been reported in field trials (28,34). Management for Mycosphaerella blight is limited to fu...
