Variability of Deoxynivalenol Measurements in Barley

Expression of 3-OH trichothecene acetyltransferase in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and effects on deoxynivalenol

Fusarium head blight (FHB), caused primarily by Fusarium graminearum, has been the most destructive disease of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) in the USA since the early 1990s, resulting in large economic losses for growers. The fungus produces the mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON), a protein synthesis inhibitor, which is harmful to humans and livestock. Chemically modifying DON could reduce DON accum...

Effect of genotype variability on nitrate uptake and assimilation of barley cultivars

Heritability of Fusarium Head Blight Resistance and Deoxynivalenol Accumulation from Barley Accession CIho 4196

of the most resistant two-rowed barley accessions identified is CIho 4196 (Prom et al., 1996; Takeda, 1992). Fusarium head blight (FHB), incited by Fusarium graminearum This accession originates from China and is being used Schwabe [telomorph Gibberella zea (Schwein)], has caused devastating losses to yield and quality of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) proextensively as a parent by the six-rowed b...

Variability of fusion vergence measurements in heterophoria Fusion vergence measurements

Purpose: The aims of this study were to compare fusional vergence measurements between orthophoria, esophoria and exophoria, and to determine the strength of correlations between fusional convergence and divergence and angle of deviation. Methods and materials: A cross-sectional study was performed in children with best-corrected visual acuity of 0.0 LogMAR in either eye, compensated heterophor...

Interlaboratory variability of bilirubin measurements.

During an 8-month study, 14 laboratories used automated analytical systems to measure total bilirubin concentrations in lyophilized bovine specimens containing 38, 169, and 253 micromol/L bilirubin (2.2, 9.9, and 14.8 mg/dL, respectively). The measured mean +/- SD (n, range) were: 39 +/- 7 micromol/L (n = 90, 31-53) [2.3 +/- 0.4 mg/dL (1.8-3.1)]; 176 +/- 29 micromol/L (n = 89, 146-222) [10.3 +/...
