This study was carried out to determine the responses of some new cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) lines Verticillium wilt disease (disease agent is Verticillum dahliae Kleb.) and enable use resistant or tolerant in future studies. The field trials were conducted at trial field, Dicle University, Diyarbakir, Turkey 2019. a naturally contaminated with V. dahliae. Nine advanced used as material. re...

BACKGROUND Occupational asthma (OA) remains common; 1 in 10 cases of adult-onset asthma is due to work. Health outcomes are better with early diagnosis, but there is considerable delay, largely due to lack of enquiry about work effect in primary care. National guidelines (2008) recommend asking two screening questions, which together have a high sensitivity in identifying OA. AIMS To audit ho...

The putative oxidation of hydroethidine (HE) has become a widely used fluorescent assay for the detection of superoxide in cultured cells. By covalently joining HE to a hexyl triphenylphosphonium cation (Mito-HE), the HE moiety can be targeted to mitochondria. However, the specificity of HE and Mito-HE for superoxide in vivo is limited by autooxidation as well as by nonsuperoxide-dependent cell...

We report the 6,498,072-bp complete genome sequence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA1, which was isolated from a patient with a respiratory tract infection in Chongqing, People's Republic of China. Whole-genome sequencing was performed using single-molecule real-time (SMRT) technology, and de novo assembly revealed a single contig with 396-fold sequence coverage.

A rapid biochemical method for the identification of Gardnerella vaginalis has been developed. The method is based on the fermentation of starch and raffinose and on the hydrolysis of hippurate. With this new procedure, identification was confirmed for 390 of 396 G. vaginalis isolates within 1 h after their inoculation into the three substrates.

day. Conclusions: Symptomes and appearence of the disease suggested several diseases but the laboratory tests were normal, making the diagnosis more difficult, the supposed diagnosis did not fit properly for the patient age. Careful observation of patients and the disease, exfoliative cytology and a biopsy, microbiological investigations allow the diagnosis, ruling out erythema multiforme and d...

UNLABELLED High-quality enzyme function annotation is essential for understanding the biochemistry, metabolism and disease processes of organisms. Previously, we developed a multi-component high-precision enzyme function predictor, EFICAz(2) (enzyme function inference by a combined approach). Here, we present an updated improved version, EFICAz(2.5), that is trained on a significantly larger da...
