Abstract: The aim of this study was to assess brown rust resistance in 60 new sugarcane varieties bred by the China Sugarcane System recent years and 34 major cultivated growing areas China. these investigated field, molecular markers were used detect rust-resistance gene Bru1. results field survey showed that 66 (70.21%) 94 highly resistant moderately resistant, 28 (29.79%) susceptible suscept...

Common corn rust disease caused by the fungus Puccinia sorghi, causes small spots on upper and lower surfaces of leaves which then spread to entire leaf surface, causing a decrease in photosynthetic yield. Losses due this are 45-60%. This study aims explore resistance varieties disease. research was arranged descriptive design using 240 plants corn. The maize tested were Pertiwi 3, Betrass, Bis...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess the in vitro activities of nemonoxacin against Gram-positive cocci with various resistance phenotypes. METHODS MICs of nemonoxacin were determined for 798 recently collected (2005-07) and non-duplicate isolates of Gram-positive cocci by the agar dilution method. These isolates included: methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA; n = 100...

Nilaparvata lugens (Stål) is a typical vascular feeder, primarily sucking the phloem sap of host plants. Its feeding on rice, Oryza sativa L., plants changes the pattern of allocation of assimilates between roots and shoots, and the root:shoot (R/S) ratio of assimilates is often measured as an index of physiological responses to N. lugens. The current study investigated changes in the R/S ratio...

MICs of eight beta-lactams (piperacillin, piperacillin-tazobactam, ticarcillin, ticarcillin-clavulanate, ampicillin, ampicillin-sulbactam, ceftazidime, and ceftriaxone) were determined by agar dilution against 64 penicillin-susceptible, 70 intermediately penicillin-resistant, and 66 fully penicillin-resistant pneumococci. The MICs of piperacillin with and without tazobactam for 90% of the susce...

Kuga-Satake varieties are abelian varieties associated to certain weight two Hodge structures, for example the second cohomology group of a K3 surface. We start with an introduction to Hodge structures and we give a detailed account of the construction of Kuga-Satake varieties. The Hodge conjecture is discussed in section 2. An excellent survey of the Hodge conjecture for abelian varieties is [...

This study was carried out to determine the nutritional value of different chickpea varieties using in vitro gas production technique.As a result, significant variations in terms of chemical composition, gas production rate and metabolizable energy, net lactation energy and digestible organic matter were found among the 8 different chickpea varieties. The crude protein contents of chickpea vari...

A total of 110 rice varieties of which 108 local (From Bangladesh Rice Research Institute) and two hybrid varieties (From ACI Ltd. Bangladesh) were used to identify the morphological traits during July, 2008 to June, 2009. These varieties represented four types viz. T. Aman (n=92), B. Aman (n=15), Boro (n=2) and Jhum accession (n=1) as described by Bangladesh Rice Research Institute’s literatur...
