in order to determine possibility of using detached leaf disks for evaluating resistance to cercospora beticola, the causal agent of leaf spot in sugar beet, twelve sugar beet cultivars exhibiting different levels of resistance to cercospora leaf spot were evaluated under field and laboratory conditions. the field experiment was conducted in a complete randomized block design with six replicate...

background endothelial injury is a well-known complication in chronic kidney disease (ckd) and hemodialysis. one of the sites in which early vascular changes may be detected is the retina. of course, these flow changes may not be detected in ophthalmologic exams, but it seems that color doppler sonography of retinal arteries may be helpful in these cases. objectives in previous studies on ckd p...

Plant disease resistance loci have been used successfully in breeding programs to transfer traits from resistant germplasm to susceptible plant cultivars. The molecular cloning of plant disease resistance genes now permits the transfer of such traits across species boundaries by genetic transformation of recipient hosts. The tomato disease resistance gene Pto confers resistance to strains of th...
