To understand the molecular basis of a specific plant-pathogen interaction, it is important to identify plant proteins that respond to the pathogen attack. Two sugarcane varieties, NCo376 and Ya71-374, were used in this study. By applying 2-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE), the protein expression profile of sugarcane after inoculating with Sporisorium scitamineum was analyzed. In total, 23 di...

DNA profiles of 40 sugarcane genotypes were constructed with 30 RAPD markers. Sugarcane genotypes of both Saccharum officinarum and S. barberi were included in this study. Multiple alleles were detected from each RAPD; there was a high level of polymorphism. On average, 7.93 alleles were produced per primer, giving a total of 238 alleles. The genetic distances between these genotypes were asses...

OBJECTIVE Chronic ethanol consumption is a major public health problem throughout the world. We investigated the anxiolytic-like effects and the possible ever injury induced by the chronic consumption of ethanol or sugarcane spirit in mice. METHOD Adult mice were exposed to a two-bottle free-choice paradigm for 6 weeks. The mice in Group A (n = 16) had access to sugarcane spirit + distilled w...

Pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) composed of two functionally-connected phases, the oxidative and non-oxidative phase. Both phases catalysed by a series of enzymes. Transketolase is one of key enzymes of non-oxidative phase in which transfer two carbon units from fructose-6-phosphate to erythrose-4-phosphate and convert glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate to xylulose-5-phosphate. In plant, erythrose-4-ph...

There is laboratory evidence that refined carbohydrates are more cariogenic compared with unrefined carbohydrates. It was reported that sugarcane workers in South Africa, who consumed large quantities of raw sugarcane daily, had a low caries experience. However, other epidemiologic studies of this relationship, both in Africa and elsewhere, have given mixed results and to date the question conc...

It is generally challenging to tell apart malware from benign applications. To make this decision, human analysts are frequently interested in runtime values: targets of reflective method calls, URLs to which data is sent, target telephone numbers of SMS messages, and many more. However, obfuscation and string encryption, used by malware as well as goodware, often not only render human inspecti...

Based on the complete dynamic calculation method, the layout, force, and strength of harvester boom cylinders were designed and calculated. Closed simulations for the determination of the dynamic responses of the harvester boom during luffing motion considering the cylinder drive system and luffing angle position control have been realized. Using the ADAMS mechanical system dynamics analysis so...

cation as the layby treatment. Such herbicide treatments follow the last cultivation before harvest. Shading and With adoption of combine harvest technology, massive sugarcane competition from sugarcane plants usually control weeds (Saccharum Spp. Hyb.) residue is left on the soil surface following each harvest, which could affect the environmental fate and efficacy developing after canopy clos...

Automatic estimation of the amount of trash, such as branches and leaves, collected by a mechanical citrus harvester during harvesting eliminates problems in the processing plants with handling diseased leaves and fruit. A machine vision system was developed to estimate the amount of trash collected by a citrus canopy shake and catch harvester by acquiring and analyzing the images of the harves...
