The brown planthopper (BPH) is the most serious insect pest of rice in Asia. The indica rice cultivar ADR52 carries two BPH resistance genes, BPH26 (brown planthopper resistance 26) and BPH25. Map-based cloning of BPH26 revealed that BPH26 encodes a coiled-coil-nucleotide-binding-site-leucine-rich repeat (CC-NBS-LRR) protein. BPH26 mediated sucking inhibition in the phloem sieve element. BPH26 ...

Electrolyte alterations and extra-renal disorders are quite frequent in patients undergoing haemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. The native kidneys may be the site of important pathologies in patients undergoing dialysis, especially in the form of acquired renal cystic disease with frequent malignant transformation. Renal neoplasms represents an important complication of haemodialysis-associat...

Information on breeding aspects of rodents is important to ensure control program timing necessary for effective pest management. Hence, studies on breeding aspects of the brown spiny field mouse (Mus platythrix), a known rodent pest in dry land crops were investigated including environmental factors influencing reproduction, from regular monthly collections made during the years 1990 and 1991....

This paper introduces an agent-based framework to modeling and simulate assessing rice area infested by brown plant hoppers from field to regional scales using agent-based and upscaling approach. Because detail levels of infestation rice area information are different from small scale to large scale, infestation rice area information are collected from fields in the Mekong Delta region-Vietnam ...

The Brown aliasing error upper bound in the sampling cardinal series expansion (SCSE) of weakly stationary non-bandlimited (NBL) stochastic processes is extended to NBL homogeneous random fields (HRF). The magnitude of the derived bound is ordered under some smoothness condition upon the field. Zusammenfassung. Die Brown'sche Abschitzung der Obergrenze von Aliasing Fehlern bei der Abtastung von...

The "place fields" of hippocampal pyramidal neurons are not static. For example, upon a contextual change in the environment, place fields may "remap" within typical timescales of ~ 1 min. A few studies have shown more rapid dynamics in hippocampal activity, linked to internal processes, such as switches between spatial reference frames or changes within the theta cycle. However, little is know...

Fusarium equiseti is prevalent in soil and straw mulch in ginseng (Panax ginseng) fields in British Columbia and causes a reddish brown discolouration on ginseng roots. The pathogenicity of two isolates of F. equiseti from ginseng fields to other plant species belonging to different families was evaluated. Mycelial plugs and spore suspensions were used to inoculate seeds and roots in laboratory...

We present new Spitzer IRAC/PU/MIPS photometry from 3.6 to 24 μm, and new Gemini GMOS photometry at 0.48 μm, of the young brown dwarf eclipsing binary 2MASS J05352184−0546085, located in the Orion Nebula Cluster. No excess disk emission is detected: The measured fluxes at λ ≤ 8μm are within 1σ (. 0.1 mJy) of a bare photosphere, and the 3σ upper limit at 16 μm is a mere 0.04 mJy above the bare p...

Barley ( Hordeum vulgare ) is an important crop in Turkey. In this study, 37 barley fields Batman central district and Beşiri (Batman), Gercüş Hasankeyf Kozluk Sason Kocaköy (Diyarbakır), Kurtalan (Siirt), Midyat (Mardin) districts were examined for the presence of leaf diseases. addition, 24 naturally grown wild H. spontaneum populations Beşiri, Hasankeyf, inspected fields, scald caused by Rhy...
