Domesticated chickpea (Cicer arietinum) and its wild relative C. judaicum grow in sympatric distribution in Israel and both are susceptible to Ascochyta blight caused by Didymella rabiei. C. arietinum was grown for millennia in drier and hotter Levantine spring conditions while C. judaicum grows in the wetter and milder winters. Accordingly, it is possible that D. rabiei isolates originated fro...

Culture-dependent and culture-independent approaches were used to determine the relationship between the dehalogenase gene pool in bacteria enriched and isolated on 2,2-dichloropropionic acid (22DCPA) and the environmental metagene pool (the collective gene pool of both the culturable and uncultured microbes) from which they were isolated. The dehalogenases in the pure-cultures isolates, which ...

From the many existing documents on the history of glanders, it is possible to detail the practical measures adopted for disease surveillance and control from antiquity until the 19th century, principally in European countries. Surveillance is based on clinical diagnosis, post-mortem examination, animal inoculation and knowledge of the conditions under which infection occurred: aetiology, patho...

Witnesses are frequently questioned immediately following a crime. The effects of such testing on false recall are inconclusive: Testing may inoculate against subsequent misinformation or enhance false memory formation. We examined whether different types of processing can account for these discrepancies. Drawing from Fuzzy-trace and Associative-activation theories, immediate questions that tri...

(Dated: February 24, 2010) Proper acceleration and proper velocity are relativity-smart concepts that, along with propertime, can (i) inject conceptual-clarity into low-speed intro-physics applications and (ii) inoculate students against cognitive-dissonance when special and general relativistic applications are discussed. By calling the attention of introductory students to clock and free-floa...

Wickerhamomyces anomalus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae were mixed by co-inoculation or sequential inocula-tion, the physicochemical properties, electronic sensory characteristics, aromatic characteristics of longan (Dimocarpus Lour.) wine evaluated to analyze effects fermentation on quality. The results demonstrate that obtained inoculation decreases alcohol content wine. Furthermore, also leads...

An interrelationship between introduced and indigenous rhizobia focused on their competitiveness in nodulation was evaluated in a soil pot experiment. Clover seeds were inoculated by six different gradual concentrations of inoculum of two effective Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii isolates (inoculation strains 1/2 and 14/2). At the beginning of flowering, clover plants were removed from the...
