OBJECTIVES The radiographic union score for tibial (RUST) fractures was developed by Whelan et al to assess the healing of tibial fractures following intramedullary nailing. In the current study, the repeatability and reliability of the RUST score was evaluated in an independent centre (a) using the original description, (b) after further interpretation of the description of the score, and (c) ...

Loblolly pines (Pinus taeda L.) thut were 8 to 17 yr old tolerated one to three fus[form rust (Cronartium quercuum [Berk.]Miyabe exShiraij sp. fusiforme) galls in theirstems. Families withfourormore galls in their stems lost 2.5% or more ofthe trees by age 17. In living trees with less thanf<jurstem galls, diameter growth was comparable to that of trees with no galls. Tolerance was indicated by...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether a skills laboratory for corneal foreign body and rust ring removal improves self-assessed skill and confidence. METHODS A prospective trial was conducted as part of the didactic curriculum of a university-based residency program in emergency medicine (EM). A convenience sample of 26 EM residents and five fourth-year medical students participated. The skills labo...

been widely used to characterize foliar disease resistance (Jeger and Viljanen-Rollinson, 2001) because it Slow leaf-rusting resistance in wheat (Triticum aestivum L) is gainreflects both severity and rate of disease development ing acceptance as a breeding objective because of its durability in comparison with race-specific resistance. CI 13227 was previously (Wilcoxson et al., 1975). IR and I...

Mapping rust, anthracnose and angular leaf spot resistance genes in common bean using RAPD markers Molecular markers were used to study the organization of rust, anthracnose and angular leaf spot resistance genes in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) Ouro Negro cultivar. A segregant population of 154 recombinant inbred lines (RIL ́s) from the crossing between Ouro Negro and Rudá cultivars was inoc...

Four rust raxa in 3 genera and one form genus are newly recorded for Iran. Among these, Melampsoridium is a new genus for the Iranian rust flora. M. carpini on Carpinus sp., Coleosporium inulae on Inula salicina ssp. aspera, Puccinia saniculae on Sanicula europea and Uredo Otostegiae on otostegia persica are repoted for the first time in Iran. Number of urediniospore pores formerly believed 2 i...

Rust is the main disease affecting Coffea arabica, most economically important coffee species. The objective of this study was to analyze C. arabica cultivars with different levels rust resistance, including bean size, raw appearance, final sensory scores (FSS), and aroma taste nuances cup. experiment designed in randomized blocks (RBD) three replications 20 treatments (cultivars), totaling 60 ...

Stem rust was one of the most devastating diseases of barley in North America. Through the deployment of cultivars with the resistance gene Rpg1, losses to stem rust have been minimal over the past 70 yr. However, there exist both domestic (QCCJB) and foreign (TTKSK aka isolate Ug99) pathotypes with virulence for this important gene. To identify new sources of stem rust resistance for barley, w...

ABSTRACT Because of differences in life histories between Puccinia triticina, a highly specialized, polycyclic, windborne pathogen with a shallow dispersal gradient, and Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, a residue-borne pathogen with a steep dispersal gradient, wheat mixtures are expected to be more effective at controlling leaf rust than tan spot. The objectives of this research were to determine ...
