sclerotinia stem rot (white stem rot), an important fungal disease, which is caused by sclerotinia sclerotiorum, is one of the serious diseases of various plants such as canola. use of resistant cultivars is an effective method to control the disease. a greenhouse experiment based on cotyledon inoculation using mycelial suspension of two different isolates of s. sclerotiorum was conducted to ev...

stem cells are the cells having some distinguishing characteristics like longevity, high capacity of self-renewal and differentiation, quiescence and highly error-free proliferation. almost all stem cells have the potential of lineage reprogramming, i.e. inter-conversion of cell lineages. they also have the potential to differentiate into almost all kinds of cells. these cells have been found i...

Nacrtak Rot is one of the most important defects in timber assortments of Norway spruce (Picea abies). With the aim to investigate this phenomenon, we analyzed 1,334 spruce trees from 65 locations across Slovenia. The study showed that the incidence of rot was higher in even-aged stands compared to uneven-aged stands. Lower-trunk rot (for the purpose of this study, lower-trunk rot is rot that a...

AIM Left ventricular rotation is an interesting mechanism to investigate patients with heart disease. In children, reference values have to be defined prior to assess pathology. METHODS AND RESULTS One hundred and seventy-four healthy individuals (0-20 years) were investigated by two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography, percentiles were created addressing the amount and time-to-peak...

Objective(s): Mesenchyme is a type of undifferentiated loose connective tissue that is derived mostly from mesoderm. Recently, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), as adult stem cells (ASCs) able to divide into a variety of different cells, are of utmost importance for stem cell research. In this research, ability of the liver extract to induce differentiation of rat derived omentum tissue mesenchyma...

objective(s): in the past few decades, variety of foetal, embryonic and adult stem and progenitor cells have been tried with conflicting outcome for cell therapy of central nervous system injury and diseases. cellular characteristics and functional plasticity of globose basal stem cells (gbcs) residing in the olfactory epithelium of rat olfactory mucosa have not been studied in the past by the ...

Basal stem rot caused by a soil-borne fungus, Ganoderma boninense, is one of the most severe diseases in monoculture oil palm plantations. The effect mixed cropping with water yam on infection and inoculum potential boninense seedlings was assessed under pot experiment. Plant inoculation rubber woodblock (RWB)-colonized induced disease both cropped hosts (multiple host infection), but less root...

Ganoderma boninense is the basal stem rot disease (BSR) pathogen that devastates oil palm plantations. Disease infection generally occurs by a single strain of G. boninense, or co-infection two strains arises as revealed somatic incompatibility. This study aimed to determine effects somatically incompatible on BSR seedlings. Two were from 2 plantations and had different aggressiveness. Co-infec...
