Diagnosis of banana bunchy top virus in Red banana
Banana Bunchy Top Disease (BBTD) caused by the Banana Bunchy Top Virus (BBTV), is the most serious virus disease of banana and plantain worldwide. Detection of the BBTV infection in the planting material could help in the effective management of the disease in banana. A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay was used to detect the of banana bunchy top virus at early stages of infection in banana...
متن کاملPhosphonated polyurethanes that resist calcification.
Cardiovascular implant mineralization involving bioprosthetic materials, such as glutaraldehyde cross linked porcine aortic valves or synthetic materials such as polyurethanes, is an important problem that frequently leads to clinical failure of bioprosthetic heart valves, and complicates long-term experimental artificial heart device implants. Novel, proprietary, calcification resistant polyet...
متن کاملComparative susceptibility of two banana cultivars to Banana bunchy top virus under laboratory and field environments.
Field and laboratory experiments were carried out on the island of Oahu, HI, to compare the susceptibility of the two most commonly grown banana (Musa sp.) cultivars in the state ('Dwarf Brazilian' or Santa Catarina [locally known as dwarf apple] and 'Williams') to the aphid-borne Banana bunchy top virus (genus Babuvirus, family Nanoviridae, BBTV). Several morphological and physiological featur...
متن کاملToward antiviral strategies that resist viral escape.
We studied the effect on viral growth of drugs targeting different virus functions using a computer simulation for the intracellular growth of bacteriophage T7. We found that drugs targeting components of negative-feedback loops gain effectiveness against mutant viruses that attenuate the drug-target interaction. The greater inhibition of such mutants than of the wild type suggests a drug desig...
متن کاملGroup representations that resist random sampling
We show that there exists a family of groups Gn and nontrivial irreducible representations ρn such that, for any constant t, the average of ρn over t uniformly random elements g1, . . . , gt ∈ Gn has operator norm 1 with probability approaching 1 as n→∞. More quantitatively, we show that there exist families of finite groups for which Ω(log log |G|) random elements are required to bound the nor...
