During routine graft indexing of Rubus clones at the USDA-ARS Horticultural Crops Research Laboratory in Corvallis, Oregon, a ‘Glen Clova’ plant that originated in Scotland induced severe symptoms including stunting and apical necrosis when grafted on ‘Munger’ black raspberry (Rubus occidentalis). Cloning of viral dsRNA obtained from the plant and sequence analysis indicated the presence of a n...

Bacterial leaf blight is one of the major diseases in rice and affects yields. Thus, various methods have been applied to protect rice from this disease. Here, we show systemic translocation of the human drug niclosamide (5-chloro-N-(2-chloro-4-nitrophenyl)2-hydroxybenzamide) in rice and its long-term effect on prevention of rice leaf blight. The development of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae-ind...

background: potyviruses are accounted for 40% of viral diseases of various crops including vegetables and legumes. potyviruses can be transmitted through plant sap, seeds and many aphid species. due to ease of spread of these viruses detection of such viruses are crucial as to the control of the incited diseases. objectives: this study compared the efficiencies of two couples of primers in thei...

introduction: several potyviruses infecting gramineous plants have been reported from iran. mosaic is the most widespread viral disease affecting sugarcane and maize production. sugarcane mosaic virus (scmv) is one of the causal agents of mosaic disease, which was first described in ohio in 1963. scmv belonging to the genus potyvirus, family potyviridae, is a single-stranded positive sense rna ...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to establish that retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells take up indocyanine green (ICG) dye following systemic injection and that adaptive optics enhanced indocyanine green ophthalmoscopy (AO-ICG) enables direct visualization of the RPE mosaic in the living human eye. METHODS A customized adaptive optics scanning light ophthalmoscope (AOSLO) was used to ...
