Resistance to phytopathogens e tutti quanti: placing plant quantitative disease resistance on the map.

Plant disease resistance can be seen as a process of a dual nature: both qualitative and quantitative.The nature of non-self molecules perceived by plants has led to the depiction of plant immunity as a two-layer defence system. The first layer is mediated by cell surface and intracellular pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) which perceive conserved microbial elicitors, termed pathogenassociat...

Achieving per-flow Queueing Performance without a per-flow Queue

Recent studies have shown that suitably-designed packet discard policies can dramatically improve the performance of fair queueing mechanisms in internet routers. The Queue State Deficit Round Robin algorithm (QSDRR) preferentially discards from long queues, but introduces hysteresis into the discard policy to minimize synchronization among TCP flows. QSDRR provides higher throughput and much b...
