"Cauliflower Ears" describes the appearance of swelling of the auricular cartilage resulting in gross distortion of the auricle. The underlying pathology is inflammation of the auricular cartilage. We report a case of a patient who presented to the ophthalmology clinic with an ocular inflammation, whose subsequent diagnosis of replapsing polychondritis was clinched with the finding of "Cauliflo...

The 35S promoter of cauliflower mosaic virus and that of other plant pararetroviruses gives rise to an RNA, which is both a pre-genome and a polycistronic mRNA. The 600 nucleotide long very structured leader of this RNA is also transcribed separately. The resulting 8S RNA is then converted to a double strand giving rise to a huge set of siRNAs, which suppress silencing. In this Mini-Review I di...

SaPIN2a, a plant proteinase inhibitor from nightshade (Solanum americanum), was located to the enucleate sieve elements (SEs) of phloem. The expressed SaPIN2a in transgenic lettuce showed inhibition of plant endogenous trypsin- and chymotrypsin-like activities, suggesting that SaPIN2a can regulate proteolysis in plant cells. To further investigate the physiological role of SaPIN2a, we produced ...

Insecticide resistance and concomittant field failure to control the diamondback moth (DBM), Plutella xylostella were first recorded in 1968 in Punjab. Studies carried out in different states like Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, indicate that fenvalerate, quilnalphos and monocrotophos resistance are now ubiquitous in Plutella xylostella. In Tamil Nadu, the discriminating dose tec...

ABSTRACT
 
 Cauliflower are very useful for humans, and have high economic value, but their production in Central Kalimantan is still low because they grown on utisol soils with fertility. Therefore, optimal management needed order to produce well. This study aims determine the response of cauliflower plants application Multi KP compound fertilizer dose growth yield flower cabbage pla...
