The rice blast resistance (R) gene Pi-ta mediates gene-for-gene resistance against strains of the fungus Magnaporthe grisea that express avirulent alleles of AVR-Pita. Using a map-based cloning strategy, we cloned Pi-ta, which is linked to the centromere of chromosome 12. Pi-ta encodes a predicted 928-amino acid cytoplasmic receptor with a centrally localized nucleotide binding site. A single-c...

In healthy cotton, except for random occasional occurrence in cortical cells, terpenoid aldehydes (TA) are localized in the epidermis and, even there, are absent from the tip 2-4 cm of the root. Since constitutive TA do not occur in the endodermis and stele of the root, they cannot be effective agents against the development of the sedentary stage of the root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognit...

PURPOSE To evaluate the hypotensive effects of glycyrrhizin (GL) on a rabbit model of ocular hypertension (OH) induced by triamcinolone acetonide (TA). METHODS Forty New Zealand White Rabbits were divided as follows: control (intravitreal injection of sterile saline solution); GL (intravitreal injection of sterile saline solution, then fed with 25mg GL/day); TA (intravitreal TA injection); TA...

We give a novel spectral approximation algorithm for the balanced separator problem that, given a graph G, a constant balance b ∈ (0, 1/2], and a parameter γ, either finds an Ω(b)balanced cut of conductance O( √ γ) in G, or outputs a certificate that all b-balanced cuts in G have conductance at least γ, and runs in time Õ(m). This settles the question of designing asymptotically optimal spectra...

In mountainous regions, the scarcity of air temperature (Ta) measurements is a major limitation for hydrological and crop monitoring. An alternative to in situ could be downscale reanalysis Ta data provided at high-temporal resolution. However, relatively coarse spatial resolution these products (i.e., 9 km ERA5-Land) unlikely directly representative actual local patterns. To address this issue...

studies have shown that oxygenated compounds and tss/ta are important for beverage and food industries. it seems that citrus rootstocks have a profound influence on oxygenated compounds and tss/ta. the aim of this research is to identify rootstock that can synthesize the maximum level of oxygenated compounds and tss/ta. peel oil was extracted using mechanical presses and eluted using n-hexane. ...

“pacta sunt servanda” is one of the most fundamental principles in the common law and iranian legal systems, which have been exposed to exceptions in the process of time. these exceptions are part of general doctrine of frustration. iranians exceptions to this rule are named as “ta`azzor” and “ta`assor” rules. doctrine of frustration in common law includes three subdivision theories: “impossibi...
