septoria tritici blotch (stb), caused by the ascomycete fungus mycosphaerella graminicola (asexual stage: septoria tritici), is one of the most important foliar diseases of wheat. in this research, quantitative expression analysis of five candidate genes for the induction of resistance to stb (pr-1, bsi, msr, per, and ppi) was conducted in the wheat cultivars ‘seri 82’ (susceptible) and ‘fronta...

Abiotic stress conditions can be imposed on plants through either poor water quality or adverse climate condition. These types of stress affect plant growth and development throughout their life cycle. Plants that are tolerant to drought are therefore valuable, and turf grasses have the potential to grow tolerant. Turf grasses provide ground cover and offer multiple benefits, from their aesthet...

Exposure to aminoglycoside antibiotics induces biofilm formation by a laboratory strain of the cystic fibrosis (CF) pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Here, we detected this effect among about half of the clinical isolates from CF patients in a cross-sectional collection, suggesting that biofilm induction may represent a common mechanism of inducible aminoglycoside resistance in CF infections. Th...

Direct Torque controlled induction motor (DTC-IM) drives have been used widely over last few decades. DTC-IM drives use the stator resistance of the motor for stator flux estimation which directly depends on the stator resistance of IM. Proper estimation of the stator resistance is very important because stator resistance varies due to the increase in temperature of the machine during operation...

This document presents a method of on-line fault diagnosis for iron core of induction motor stator based on adaptive observer. Due to the equivalent resistance is directly affected by the stator core fault, while the iron loss is considered in the series iron loss model of the induction motor, so we can determine the core fault state by identifying equivalent iron consumption resistance. In thi...

Potato defends against Phytophthora infestans infection by resistance (R)-gene-based qualitative resistance as well as a quantitative field resistance. R genes are renowned to be rapidly overcome by this oomycete, and potato cultivars with a decent and durable resistance to current P. infestans populations are hardly available. However, potato cultivar Sarpo Mira has retained resistance in the ...

The aim of the research was to determine field, greenhouse and seed bed performance of plantlets derived from in vitro propagated plantlets of three potato cultivars. Generally, higher values were obtained from the mid-early maturing cultivar Marabel, compare to other cultivars (early cultivar Velox and and mid-early cultivar Concorde) for tuber yield, tuber number and average tuber weight. For...
