-The study objective was to determine whether selection for brown spot disease (caused by Scirrhia acicola (Dearn.) Siggers) resistance in longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) is beneficial for areas where brown spot is not present. Two groups of selections, comprising those that performed (survival and growth) well in the presence of brown spot disease and those that performed well in its abs...

In modern digital agricultural applications, automatic identification and diagnosis of plant diseases using artificial intelligence is becoming popular widespread. Deep learning a promising tool in pattern recognition machine it can be used to identify classify paddy rice. this study, 2 different rice diseases, including blast brown spot, were investigated the district İpsala province Edirne be...

Broad-spectrum disease resistance against two or more types of pathogen species is desirable for crop improvement. In rice, Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), the causal bacteria of rice leaf blight, and Magnaporthe oryzae, the fungal pathogen causing rice blast, are two of the most devastating pathogens. We identified the rice BROAD-SPECTRUM RESISTANCE 1 (BSR1) gene for a BIK1-like receptor-...

The Great East Japan Earthquake on 11 March 2011, caused the release of radioactive materials from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP), contaminating eastern Japan, particularly in part of Fukushima Prefecture. In 2012 and 2014, the radiocaesium concentration in brown rice did not exceed regulatory levels in Minamisoma City, Fukushima. However, in 2013, some radiocaesium concentra...

In an on-going effort of the FoSHoL project of ActionAid Bangladesh to evaluate the farmers’ perception and effect of system of rice intensification on the yield, 85 farm families of Tala, Satkhira Sadar, Biswamvampur, Noakhali, Ulipur and Koira Upazilla of Satkhira, Sunamganj, Noakhali, Kurigram and Khulna districts conducted the study in their own lands in a participatory action research appr...

The aim of this study is to assess the quantitative ions changes in enamel occlusal surfaces affected by white-spot and brown-spot dental caries. Energy dispersive X-rays analysis (EDX) has been used for qualitative and quantitative chemical analysis of 30 enamel samples (10 sound enamel samples, 10 white-spot enamel samples, 10 brown-spot enamel samples). For samples with white-spot and brown-...

Rice produces a wide array of phytoalexins in response to pathogen attacks and UV-irradiation. Except for the flavonoid sakuranetin, most phytoalexins identified in rice are diterpenoid compounds. Analysis of phenolic-enriched fractions from UV-treated rice leaves showed that several phenolic compounds in addition to sakuranetin accumulated remarkably in rice leaves. We isolated two compounds f...
