Components of resistance conferred by the Lr46 gene, reported as causing "slow rusting" resistance to leaf rust in wheat, were studied and compared with the effects of Lr34 and genes for quantitative resistance in cv. Akabozu. Lr34 is a gene that confers non-hypersensitive type of resistance. The effect of Lr46 resembles that of Lr34 and other wheats reported with partial resistance. At macrosc...

Thirty serum samples from clinical cases of flour hypersensitivity were analyzed for wheat or rye flour protein antibodies. The patients included 20 bakers and 10 others who also had occupational flour exposure. Twenty-three cases had antiflour antibodies which recognized antigens other than control sera in the flour protein patterns. The immunologic response of individual cases seemed very var...

Hydrolysed wheat protein (HWP), which has high emulsifying property and water retentivity, is added to various foods and cosmetics to improve their texture. Recently, several studies showed that a specific HWP formula could induce IgE-mediated hypersensitivity by skin contact and/or food ingestion. In Japan, a number of HWP-caused systemic wheat allergy cases were reported, including wheat-depe...

allergic asthma is the most common acute inflammatory airway disorder and their incidence population has exploded in the last years, being estimated that over 300 million people worldwide have the condition. here, we present a brief overview of relationship of allergic asthma with diet and food intake. several studies have shown that most asthma cases are due to an allergic immune response to e...

Ozone stomatal fluxes were modeled for a 3-year period following different approaches for a commercial variety of durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf. cv. Camacho) at the phenological stage of anthesis. All models performed in the same range, although not all of them afforded equally significant results. Nevertheless, all of them suggest that stomatal conductance would account for the main percent...

orthodontic treatment of individuals with metal hypersensitivity is a matter of concern for the orthodontist. orthodontic appliances contain metals like nickel, cobalt and chromium etc. metals may cause allergic reactions and are known as allergens. reaction to these metals is due to biodegradation of metals in the oral cavity. this may lead to the formation of corrosion products and their expo...

discussion early recognition of dress syndrome is of a particular importance. although rare, in newborn infants with the presence of skin rash, liver involvement, hyper-eosinophilia and lymphadenopathy, dress diagnosis should be highly suspected and prompt intervention including withdrawal of causative drug is required to prevent potentially fatal outcomes. introduction drug rash with eosinophi...
