Two hundred and twenty five school going girls belonging to three districts of Hazara Division, Pakistan were sampied for rubella antibodies. Age range selected was 5 to 15 years. IgG was positive in 7X.22% of cases and IgM in 24.44% of cases. The antibodies pattern and prevalence was the same in all the three districts. A clear increase of IgG was seen up to the age of II years but between...

Powdery mildew (PM - Eryshpe necator) is one of the most important diseases threatening world viticulture. This study determined that gene expression levels Myc2, WRKY1, and DHN1a in Boğazkere (V. vinifera L. PM susceptible), Cabernet Sauvignon Kishmish Vatkana tolerant), Regent tolerant) cultivars after PM-Methyl jasmonate (MeJa) treatments by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The ...

ABSTRACT The interaction between Meloidogyne and Fusarium can alter the resistance behavior of passion fruit genotypes. study was aimed to evaluate reaction genotypes Passiflora spp. incognita race 3 (Mi)-Fusarium solani (Fs) complex. assay carried using RBD in factorial arrangement: 10 (BRS-SC, M-19-UFV, P. alata, nitida, giberti, P.setacea, mucronata, murifolia, cincinnata, ligularis) x treat...

Seventy-two sorghum accessions were randomly selected from the Ethiopia, Mali, Sudan, and Uganda germplasm collections maintained by the US National Plant Germplasm System to evaluate variation in anthracnose resistance. The accessions were planted in a randomized complete block design in College Station, Texas during the 2007 and 2008 growing seasons. Twenty-six accessions exhibited a resistan...

A precise map of the dispersion groundwater potential across each watershed can help decision-makers to exert optimal water management in region. In this research, resources both Zanjanrood Catchment and Tarom Region, located northwest Iran, has been studied. Seven effective criteria including slope, land-use, drainage density, spring lithology, lineament rainfall are considered. Criteria were ...

Field studies were conducted in 2003 and 2004 to investigate the reaction of 10 varieties of kenaf to natural infestation of Meloidogyne incognita. Ten weeks after planting, ten randomly selected plants per variety were assessed for root galling. Plants were carefully uprooted soil adhering to roots was washed off under a gentle stream of tap water and roots then were observed using a stereo mi...

the present study was carried out to investigate three different adsorbents; dry cells of thebacterium exiguobacterium sp. 27, polyaniline and a mixture of both in different ratios for removal of ni(ii)from aqueous solution. the results showed that the adsorption of ni(ii) using dry cells of exiguobacteriumsp. 27 was very fast and the equilibrium time was 15 min, while the equilibrium time for ...

drought stress has been well documented as an effective parameter in decreasing crop production, developing and releasing new varieties which are adaptable to water deficit conditions can be a constructive program to overcome unsuitable environmental conditions. in order to evaluate the adaptation of rice genotypes to drought stress and to identify the tolerant and sensitive genotypes, 15 genot...
