Ultrastructural Changes of Sphaerotheca fuliginea (Schlechtend.:Fr.) Pollacci in Cucumber After Treated by Chrysophanol

Cucumber Response to Sphaerotheca fuliginea: Differences in Antioxidant Enzymes Activity and Pathogenesis-Related Gene Expression in Susceptible and Resistant Genotypes

Cucurbits powdery mildew is one of the most detrimental diseases of cucumber plants worldwide. A detailed insight into the biological processes leading to resistance or susceptibility to the pathogen would pave the road for an efficient disease-resistance breeding program. In the present study, the molecular and biochemical responses of a resistant vs. a susceptible cucumber cultivar infected w...

Effects of certain fungicides leaf infection yield and quality of cantaloup infected by sphaerotheca fuliginea

Powdery mildew (Sphaerotheca fuliginea) resistance in melon is selectable at the haploid level.

The major cause of powdery mildew in melons (Cucumis melo L.) is the fungus Sphaerotheca fuliginea. There are several cultivar- and season-specific races of this fungus. In order to control powdery mildew, it is important to introduce resistance to fungal infection into new cultivars during melon breeding. Haploid breeding is a powerful tool for the production of pure lines. In this study, it w...

Ultrastructural Changes of Sheep Oocytes Follow Vitrification by Different Methods and In Vitro Maturation

Purpose: Our aim was determination of the sheep oocytes ultrastructural changes follow vitrification and in vitro maturation. Materials and Methods: Good quality isolated cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) were randomly divided into non-vitrified control, conventional straw, cryotop and solid surface vitrification groups. In the conventional and cryotop methods the vitrified COCs were plunged dire...

Ultrastructural Changes in Spinal Motoneurons and Locomotor Functional Study after Sciatic Nerve Repair in Conduit Tube

Objective(s) Motor deficit and neuron degeneration is seen after nerve transection. The aim of this study is to determine whether a poled polyvinelidene fluoride (PVDF) tube with other supportive strategies can protect the neuronal morphology and motor function after sciatic nerve transaction in rats. Materials and Methods After transection of the left sciatic nerve in 60 male Wistar rats (2...
