چکیده

change in the crescent-shaped cap of the distal phalanx are the two main candidate pathogenetic mechanisms that have been proposed.[6] Exposure to teratogens, especially antiepileptic drugs in utero, in mothers with epoxide hydrolase deficiency is another supposed cause of COIF. This probably could explain our patient’s predicament, as her mother had consumed an abortifacient when our patient was in utero. Due to patient’s noncompliance and lack of facilities, arteriographic studies could not be undertaken.

Rapid and sensitive detection of Curvularia lunata associated with maize leaf spot based on its Clg2p gene using semi-nested PCR.

UNLABELLED Curvularia lunata (Wakker) Boed, the causative agent of Curvularia leaf spot in maize, was determined according to conidiophore and conidium morphology in a previous study. In the current study, a sensitive polymerase chain reaction assay was developed for the detection of C. lunata. Two specific forward (ClgD1/ClgD2) and one reverse primers (ClgD3) were designed based on a Ras-relat...

Microbial transformations of natural antitumor agents: conversion of lapachol to dehydro-alpha-lapachone by Curvularia lunata.

Microbial transformation of lapachol, a naturally occurring naphthoquinone, was carried out by Curvularia lunata (NRRL 2178). The fungus brings about oxidative cyclization of the substrate to dehydro-alpha-lapachone, which was isolated and characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectral analyses; its structure was verified by chemical synthesis. The metabolite is a naturally occur...

Essential Oil of Cymbopogon citratus on the Control of the Curvularia Leaf Spot Disease on Maize

The Curvularia Leaf Spot is becoming more common due to the culture expansion and the low resistance of the cultivated genotypes in tropical regions. Thus, the objective was to evaluate the fungitoxicity of the essential oil of Cymbopogon citratus upon the phytopathogen Curvularia lunata, causative agent of the Curvularia Leaf Spot. There was realized pathogenicity tests of C. lunata in maize p...
