An efficient genetic manipulation protocol for Ustilago esculenta

An efficient genetic manipulation protocol for Ustilago esculenta.

Ustilago esculenta grows within the flowering stem of the aquatic grass Zizania latifolia, resembling a fungal endophyte. The fungus colonizes Z. latifolia and induces swelling which results in the formation of galls near the base of the plant. Due to their unique flavor and textures these galls are considered as a delicacy in southern China. Efficient genetic manipulation is required to determ...

Makomotindoline from Makomotake, Zizania latifolia infected with Ustilago esculenta.

Makomotindoline (1) was isolated from Makomotake, Zizania latifolia infected with Ustilago esculenta. The structure was determined by the interpretation of spectroscopic data and synthesis. Makomotindoline (1), its l-Glc isomer (2) and its aglycon (3) were synthesized and their effects on rat glioma cells showed adverse effects on the cell growth.

Hypersensitivity pneumonitis induced by a smut fungus Ustilago esculenta.

A case of hypersensitivity pneumonitis caused by a smut fungus Ustilago esculenta is presented.

an efficient protocol for data aggregation in wireless sensor networks

sensor networks generally consist of a very great number of sensor nodes which will be spread into a vast environment and aggregate data out of it. the sensor nodes are afflicted with some limitations as follows memory, reception, communication as well as calculation capability, and battery power. the transmission of a great amount of extra data increases data transmission and proportionally in...
