in this study, isolate sr99-ua (race 70e 128) of wheat stripe rust (puccinia striiformis west. f. sp. tritici eriks) was used to infect susceptible spring wheat (cultivar thatcher) and its near isogenic line possessing yr-18 adult-plant resistance gene. samples were taken at the flag leaf stage and observed using light, transmission and scanning electron micro-scopes. no major differences in th...

AmpC β-lactamases are enzymes that resistant to β-lactams, such as penicillin and cephalosporin, but not cefoxitin cefotetan. This study was conducted characterize in Enterobacteriaceae. included 200 cephalosporin-resistant Gram-negative isolates recovered from different samples between January 2015 December 2016. The were subjected phenotypic tests, those tested positive further analyzed by PC...

We performed a molecular epidemiologic survey of mutations associated with drug-resistance genes in Plasmodium falciparum in northeastern Myanmar. In this region, 3 highly mutated drug-resistance haplotypes and 1 associated with decreased quinine susceptibility were prevalent, which suggests that parasites may be resistant to multiple commonly used antimalarial drugs.

ABSTRACT Understanding the metabolic responses of the plant to a devastating foliar disease, soybean rust, caused by Phakopsora pachyrhizi, will assist in development of cultivars resistant to soybean rust. In this study, differences in phenolic metabolism were analyzed between inoculated and noninoculated plants using two susceptible and three resistant soybean genotypes with known resistance ...

Although Helicobacter pylori has a significant impact on the occurrence of severe clinical syndromes, its exact ways of transmission and origin have not been identified. According to the results of some previously published articles, foods with animal origins play a substantial role in the transmission of H. pylori to humans. The present investigation was carried out to study the vacuolating cy...

soil and water salinity is a major constraint in arid and semi-arid regions. in order to study the impact of water salinity on physiological characteristics and dry matter production of six linseed genotypes, a 4-replicate factorial randomized complete block pot experiment was conducted. salinity consisted of four levels: 0 (control), 35 (low salinity), 70 (intermediate salinity) and 105 mm (se...

Persistent plant viruses, by altering phenotypic and physiological traits of their hosts, could modulate the host preference and fitness of hemipteran vectors. A majority of such modulations increase vector preference for virus-infected plants and improve vector fitness, ultimately favouring virus spread. Nevertheless, it remains unclear how these virus-induced modulations on vectors vary tempo...

Greens-type annual bluegrass (Poa annua L.) is susceptible to winter stresses including subfreezing temperatures and pink snow mold (SM). To better understand the mechanisms of SM resistance in annual bluegrass, four SM-resistant and four SM-sensitive genotypes were incubated at low temperature with Microdochium nivale (Fries) Samuels & Hallett, the causal agent of pink snow mold. We assessed t...

Background: The sterility mosaic disease in pigeon pea caused by virus is a serious threat to cultivation India. A little information available on the biochemical changes plant against SMD disease. Hence present study was taken know alterations different genotypes due Methods: Studies were conducted composition of chlorophyll pigment, total soluble protein (%), sugars, phenol, tannins, peroxida...

Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) pose an emerging health risk, but little is known about the precise epidemiology of the genes coding for vancomycin resistance. To determine whether the bacterial flora of consumer poultry serves as a gene reservoir, the level of contamination of poultry products with VRE was determined. VRE were genotyped by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), and tr...
