The aim of this study was to examine the effect of Biodentine® and two new nanostructured materials based on active silicate cements on exposed tooth pulp of Vietnamese pigs. The study comprised 40 teeth in two Vietnamese pigs (24 months old). After class V cavity preparation, the pulp on each tooth was exposed using a small round bur. The following materials were applied on pulp exposures: Bio...

Chrysanthemums are flowering plants of the genus Chrysanthemum in family Asteraceae, and widely cultivated Vietnam. The may be infected by a variety pathogens, including Alternaria spp., Ascochyta chrysanthemi, Botrytis cinerea, Fusarium Puccinia Septoria spp. Verticillium albo-atrum (Trolinger et al., 2017). Of these, species devastating pathogens causing stem, crown or root rot wilt on chrysa...

Fungi colonizing senescent chickpea (Cicer arietinum) stems and postharvest debris from Pullman, WA, were enumerated and identified with the objective of finding species potentially useful for biological control of Didymella rabiei (conidial state 1⁄4 Ascochyta rabiei), causal agent of Ascochyta blight. In addition to D. rabiei, primary colonizers were, in order of decreasing abundance, Alterna...

L-Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase has been purified from elicitortreated alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) cell suspension cultures using two protocols based on different sequences of chromatofocusing and hydrophobic interaction chromatography. Three distinct forms of the intact enzyme were separated on the basis of affinity for Octyl-Sepharose, with isoelectric points in the range pH 5.1 to 5.4. The na...

Due to a specific structure of its main organs (root, stem, leaves, and head), sunflower can be successfully grown on marginal soils and in semiarid conditions, and it is more resist‐ ant to abiotic stresses, than other field crops. Unfortunately, it is very sensitive to biotic stresses. In sunflower breeding for resistance to abiotic stresses, the greatest progress has been made in selection f...

Pasche, J. S., Mallik, I., Anderson, N. R., and Gudmestad, N. C. 2013. Development and validation of a real-time PCR assay for the quantification of Verticillium dahliae in potato. Plant Dis. 97:608-618. An increase in the stringency for higher quality potato tubers and restrictions on the use of soil fumigants, among other factors, has garnered renewed interest in Verticillium wilt, particular...
