The predicted performance of nine crossbreeding strategies for milk production and reproductive traits and cow live weights (LW) were compared. The strategies were selected because of their superiority to many others. The data were from crosses of Ayrshire (A), Brown Swiss (B), Friesian (F) and Sahiwal (S) cattle. Performances were predicted from the results of a genetic model based on additive...

Brown root-rot disease is caused by phytopathogenic white-rot basidiomycete fungus, Pyyrhoderma noxium. Currently, it causing significant issues for the Brisbane hinterland in Queensland, Australia and killing many tree species throughout greater Metropolitan area, including park street trees located Shorncliffe, Taringa, New Farm, Eagle West End, Hamilton, Indooroopilly, River, City Centre. be...

The mechanical properties and termite decay resistance performance of wood-based panel used in wooden houses were evaluated. physical properties, along with the levels, commonly panels, including oriented strand board, structural particleboard, particleboard for use interior, compared. complied physical, mechanical, formaldehyde emission standards International Organization Standardization Japa...

abstract brown rot is one of the fungal disease in the north of iran. symptoms on infected fruit in the initiation of infection appear as small dusky spots resembling peteca. then infected tissues were removed and cultured on the parph selective medium. based on morphological characters, growth rates, growth patterns and cardinal temperatures for growth, p. parasitica as a causal agent for mand...

To better understand the fine-scale spatial dynamics of brown rot disease and corresponding fungal genotypes, we analyzed three-dimensional spatial patterns of pre-harvest fruit rot caused by Monilinia fructicola in individual peach tree canopies and developed microsatellite markers for canopy-level population genetics analyses. Using a magnetic digitizer, high-resolution maps of fruit rot deve...

This study examined the responses of two termite species, the Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki, and the eastern subterranean termite, Reticulitermes flavipes (Kollar), to three types of wood decay fungi: a brown rot fungus, Gloeophyllum trabeum (Persoon: Fries) Murrill; a white rot fungus, Phanerochaete chrysosporium Burdsall; and a litter rot fungus, Marasmiellus t...
