Leaf rust, caused by Puccinia triticina, is the most prevalent and widespread disease of wheat in South America. The objective of this study was to determine whether genetically differentiated groups of P. triticina are currently present in South America and to compare the South American population with the previously characterized population in North America. In total, 130 isolates of P. triti...

Recently, increasingly more microsatellites, or simple sequence repeats (SSRs) have been found and characterized within protein-coding genes and their untranslated regions (UTRs). These data provide useful information to study possible SSR functions. Here, we review SSR distributions within expressed sequence tags (ESTs) and genes including protein-coding, 3'-UTRs and 5'-UTRs, and introns; and ...

Like all relays, the SSR requires relatively low controlcircuit energy to switch the output state from OFF to ON, or vice versa. Since this control energy is very much lower than the output power controllable by the relay at full load, “power gain” in an SSR is substantial--frequently much higher than in an electromagnetic relay of comparable output rating. To put it another way, the sensitivit...

Grevillea iaspicula is a highly restricted species occupying limestone outcrops near Wee Jasper, New South Wales (Australia). To allow future assessment of the ecological processes shaping the structure of G. iaspicula populations, seven polymorphic microsatellite (SSR) loci were developed from a partial genomic library. Amplification and polymorphism of six previously derived G. macleayana SSR...

We explore the application of Small-Scale Reconfigurability (SSR) to graphics hardware. SSR is an architectural technique wherein functionality common to multiple subunits is reused rather than replicated, yielding high-performance reconfigurable hardware with reduced area requirements. We show that SSR can be used effectively in programmable graphics architectures to allow double-precision com...

We explore the application of Small-Scale Reconfigurability (SSR) to graphics hardware. SSR is an architectural technique wherein functionality common to multiple subunits is reused rather than replicated, yielding high-performance reconfigurable hardware with reduced area requirements (Vijay Kumar and Lach 2003). We show that SSR can be used effectively in programmable graphics architectures t...

We developed 22 SSRs by using 3 approaches, RAHM (random amplified hybridization microsatellites), 5’ anchored PCR methods and an enriched genomic library. Seventy of 22 SSRs could be successfully amplified for Pyrus spp., which showed highly polymorphic. Sixty Asian pear accessions from 6 Pyrus species were genetically identified by 9 SSR markers with a total of 133 putative alleles. The SSR m...

Syndapins belong to the F-BAR domain protein family whose predicted functions in membrane tubulation remain poorly studied in vivo. At Drosophila neuromuscular junctions, syndapin is associated predominantly with a tubulolamellar postsynaptic membrane system known as the subsynaptic reticulum (SSR). We show that syndapin overexpression greatly expands this postsynaptic membrane system. Syndapin...
