In the screening trial, among nineteen sugarcane genotypes screened for reaction to rust mite, Abacarus sacchari, only 2 (009-64 and 0961-07) harboured >1 mites /2 cm2 leaf area while remaining all <2 mites/2 entire crop duration. Morphological characters of revealed that interveinal distance, trichome density were found influence A. sacchari negatively. The genotype with high phenol lowe...

We have previously shown that basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is mitogenic for human bone marrow stromal cells and enhances myelopoiesis in human long-term bone marrow culture. In the present study, we examined the mechanism by which bFGF enhances granulopoiesis. We observed that bFGF significantly abrogated the inhibitory effect of transforming growth factor-j3l (TGF-PI) on granulocyte-m...

P. Erdiis [4] communicated the conjecture that this is the only situation in which (1) holds for all edges e in G. Conjecture. If (1) holds for every edge e of a graph G, then G contains no triangle. A counterexample is given in this note. Unfortunately the origin of the conjecture is not known to us. The symbol (p, q} denotes the regular tessellation of a simply connected surface into p-gons, ...
