The tomato Cf-9 gene confers race-specific resistance to the fungal pathogen Cladosporium fulvum expressing the corresponding avirulence gene Avr9 . In tobacco, Cf-9 confers a hypersensitive response to the Avr9 peptide. To investigate Cf-9 protein function in initiating defense signaling, we engineered a functional C-terminal fusion of the Cf-9 gene with the TAP (Tandem Affinity Purification) ...

Venturicidin inhibits the F. portion of membrane-located, H+pumping ATPases. We find it meets the criteria for an energy transfer inhibitor for spinach (Spinacia oleracea) thylakoids: complete inhibition of photophosphorylation and of photophosphorylation-stimulated and basal electron flow rates, but not of electron flow under uncoupled conditions. l h e extent of H+ uptake in the light i s sti...

  Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a life-limiting autosomal recessive disorder affecting principally respiratory and digestive system . It is caused by cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene mutation. The aim of this study was to determine the extent of repeat numbers and the degree of heterozygosity for c.3499+200TA(7_56) and D7S523 located in intron 17b and 1 cM proximal to t...

Giving corrective feedback (CF) is an essential part of the teaching and learning process, and the way it should beneficially be done has been the focus of attention for numerous researchers especially when traditional ways of CF provision are not possible, particularly in rare situations such as outbreaks of diseases. This study investigated how different ways of giving feedback; namely, throu...

The tomato Cf-4 and Cf-9 genes confer resistance to infection by the biotrophic leaf mold pathogen Cladosporium. Their protein products induce a hypersensitive response (HR) upon recognition of the fungus-encoded Avr4 and Avr9 peptides. Cf-4 and Cf-9 share >91% sequence identity and are distinguished by sequences in their N-terminal domains A and B, their N-terminal leucine-rich repeats (LRRs) ...

The Cf-6 locus of tomato conferring resistance to the Belarus population of the leaf mould causative agent was mapped to the chromosomal region, located 2.2 and 3.4 cM apart from the microsatellite markers, SSR128 and SSR48, respectively. It was demonstrated that the Cf-6 gene, like the Cf-2/Cf-5 cluster, was located on the short arm of tomato chromosome 6. However, Cf-6 differed from these gen...
