Magnaporthe oryzae infection causes rice blast, a destructive disease that is responsible for considerable decrease in rice yield. Development of resistant varieties via introgressing resistance genes with marker-assisted breeding can eliminate pesticide use and minimize crop losses. Here, resistant near-isogenic line (NIL) of Pusa Basmati-1(PB1) carrying broad spectrum rice blast resistance ge...

OsPti1a, a functional ortholog of tomato SlPti1, negatively regulates both basal resistance and R-gene-mediated resistance in rice. To investigate the molecular function of OsPti1a in defense responses, we searched for components interacting with OsPti1a using a yeast two-hybrid system. One of the interacting proteins is a Ser/Thr kinase that directly phosphorylates OsPti1a in vitro. This prote...

As a common enclosure structure, masonry walls are widely used in various types of buildings. However, due to the weak out-of-plane resistance and generally brittle properties materials for blocks, they highly susceptible collapse under blast loads produce high-speed splash fragments, which seriously threatens safety personnel equipment inside In this paper, based on existing tests, refined num...

Cultivar BRS A706 CL is a new rice cultivar, resistant to herbicides of the chemical group imidazolinones, with yield potential 15,635 kg ha-1. It has intermediate maturation, lodging tolerance, stay green trait, moderate blast resistance, high milling and premium grain quality.

genotypes can be easily identified (Huang et al., 1997; Hittalmani et al., 2000). A PCR-based Pi-ta gene marker Incorporation of resistance genes into existing rice (Oryza sativa is useful in marker-assisted selection breeding since it L.) cultivars is a powerful strategy and is commonly applied in breeding rice resistance to blast disease [caused by Pyricularia grisea Sacc. is the part of resi...

Increasing the mass of a wall system as well ability to absorb energy can improve blast resistance. The role ductile materials attached externally tension side has been studied extensively ductility and In present study, use hyperelastic materials, added internally systems, was analyzed determine static resistance those systems. this paper, adding shredded rubber concrete mix replacement for co...

In recent years, the exceptional performance of steel fiber-reinforced concrete in blast and impact resistance has garnered widespread recognition, sparking considerable interest its practical application small box girders. To this end, nine groups Trinitrotoluene (TNT) explosion simulation experiments were designed with equivalent magnitudes matching those actual automobile explosions to evalu...

A cross resistance of pathogenic organisms to various chemicals has been increasing over a long period of time causing serious problems in the field of antibacterial drugs and veterinary drugs. Recently, it was reported that some phytopathogenic bacteria and fungi resistant to antibiotics and synthetic fungicides were isolated from diseased plants in the field and that distribution of resistant...

It is important to understand the effect of curvature on the blast response of curved structures so as to seek the optimal configurations of such structures with improved blast resistance. In this study, the dynamic response and protective performance of a type of curved metallic sandwich panel subjected to air blast loading were examined using LS-DYNA. The numerical methods were validated usin...
