Loose smut (LS) caused by Ustilago segetum var. tritici is an important disease of wheat (Triticum spp.) and accounts for 1-2% annual yield losses in India. The can be managed easily with the use seed treatment systematic fungicides, however, application these fungicides remained limited amongst farmers mainly due to their high price, knowledge about protectants as well lack any visible externa...

BACKGROUND Atovaquone-proguanil (AP) is the most commonly used treatment for uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria in the United States. Apparent AP treatment failures were reported 7 months apart in 2 American travelers who stayed in the same compound for foreign workers in Rivers State, Nigeria. METHODS We analyzed pretreatment (day 0) and day of failure samples from both travelers fo...

BACKGROUND Emergence of quinolone-resistant Escherichia coli (QREC) is an increasing clinical challenge mostly originating in fecal microbiota. The dynamics of the emergence of QREC in feces from individuals exposed to ciprofloxacin is unknown. METHODS A total of 48 healthy volunteers received oral ciprofloxacin for 14 days. Fecal specimens were collected on days 0, 8, 14, and 42. Subpopulati...

Garlic (Allium sativum L.) is one of the oldest cultivated plants in world and belongs to family Amaryllidaceae. Purple blotch caused by Alternaria porri (Ellis) Ciferri such disease which causes a great deal loss for farmers. The best method manage purple adopt resistant genotypes cultivation, highly necessary areas with high incidence. In order identify sources, 37 were field screened under a...

Apricot is grown in a wide range of climatic conditions in Iran, however, it is frequently damaged by late spring frost. In this case, identification of new genotypes tolerant to cold stress is indispensably needed. The objective of this study was to evaluate the genetic population and relationships among 27 apricot accessions (Prunus armeniaca) by 30 microsatellite markers and 11 morp...

To reduce the pesticide load in industrial plantings, it is necessary to use pathogen-resistant varieties when establishing orchards. The problem of obtaining stable, large-fruited, adaptive acute, since there are practically no genotypes existing assortment that combine a complex economically valuable traits with resistance diseases. isolation new genes wild forms and creation resistant fungal...

The dissemination and persistence of drug-resistant organisms in nature depends on the relative fitness of sensitive and resistant genotypes. While resistant genotypes are expected to be at an advantage compared to less resistant genotypes in the presence of drug, resistance may incur a cost; resistant genotypes may be at a disadvantage in the absence of drug. We measured the fitness of replica...

An investigation was carried out with fifty sesame genotypes to identify source of resistance powdery mildew and macrophomina stem/root rot diseases during late kharif 2022 at RARS, Jagtial under protected conditions. Among the screened, four JCS 4047, 4026, 3880 GT 10 were found resistant mildew. The PDI ranged from 25.1%-73.3%. Based on score, classified into Resistant (4), moderately (27) Su...
