Out of fifty-two Iranian nonaflatoxigenic strains of Aspergillus flavus, which were collected from various substrates (soil and kernel) and sources (peanut, corn and pistachio), fifteen representatives were selected according to their different geographical origins (six provinces: Guilan and Golestan, Ardebil, Fars, Kerman and Semnan) and vegetative compatibility groups (VCGs, IR1 to IR15) for ...

The rice blast fungus causes significant annual harvest losses. It also serves as a genetically-tractable model to study fungal ingress. Whilst pathogenicity determinants have been unmasked and changes in global gene expression described, we know little about Magnaporthe oryzae cell wall remodelling. Our interests, in wall remodelling genes expressed during infection, vegetative growth and unde...

Fifteen non-aflatoxigenic strains of Aspergillus flavus, represent a wide range of geographic regions of Iran (six provinces include Fars, Ardebil, Guilan, Golestan, Kerman and Semnan) and vegetative compatibility groups (VCGs), were collected from corn (Zea mays L.), peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) and pistachio (Pistachia vera L.) soils and kernels, were screened for the presence of aflatoxin bi...

Utilisation of input compatibilities alleviates test costs inmany applications such as reducing linear feedback shift register (LFSR) size, and scan tree construction among others. Correlation among inputs, identified based on a test set analysis, can be exploited by driving the circuit inputs through fewer channels. The reduction in the number of channels, which is dictated by the number of co...

in order to select of the best nectarine cultivars in meshkinshahr environmental condition, 11 cultivars of nectarines (including: independence, star redgold, stark sunglow, sanking, quata, shabrang e karaj, germez-e-paeez-e-mashad and 4 new imported cultivars including: winberger, vega, orion and gioia) were grafted on misory peach rootstock. cultivars were planted in randomized complete block...

Verticillium dahliae is a soil-borne phytopathogen and the causal agent of wilt. It affects many agriculturally important crops around world, including cotton. In Australia, billion-dollar cotton industry increasingly impacted by Internationally it has been reported that defoliating V. Vegetative Compatibility Group (VCG) 1A causes severe damage to Australia however, non-defoliating VCG2A causi...

Blood compatibility of polyamides has been improved by introducing amido-amine groups in polymer backbone. Polyamide block-copolymer are synthesized by reacting amine end-capped polyamides with N,N'-methylene-bisacrylamide. Polyamide block-copolymers, thus produced found to have the ability of absorbing heparin. Heparinized polyamide block-copolymers have shown significant improvement in blood ...
