The prevalence of cereal allergy is highly influenced by geographical area and consumption habits. According to data from Alergologica 2015 [1], accounts for 2.1% all cases food in Spain. Beer a barley-based alcoholic beverage that also contains hops, yeast, other cereals (wheat, oats, corn, even rye). Barley the basis malt vinegar, whiskey, gin. Several allergens barley have been described, in...

A potential biomarker for early diagnosis of cancer is assessment of high nuclear DNA content. Conventional hematoxylin staining is neither stoichiometric nor reproducible. Although feulgen stain is stoichiometric, it is time consuming and destroys nuclear morphology. We used acidic thionin stain, which can be stoichiometric and also preserve the nuclear morphology used in conventional cytology...

Strains of Brucella melitensis biovars 1, 2, and 3 isolated in India, Italy, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, the Federal Republic of Germany, and Zimbabwe were inhibited by thionin (20 micrograms/ml) but not by basic fuchsin (20 micrograms/ml) or safranin O (200 micrograms/ml). In other respects the strains were typical of their species and biovars. The existence of dye-sensitive strains of B. melitensis...

We investigated the relative importance of specific Arabidopsis thaliana genes in conferring resistance to bacterial versus fungal pathogens. We first developed a pathosystem involving the infection of Arabidopsis accession Columbia with a virulent isolate of the obligate biotrophic fungal pathogen Erysiphe orontii. E. orontii elicited the accumulation of mRNAs corresponding to the defense-rela...
