587 Abstract: The severity of brown stem rot (BSR) on soybean (Glycine max) is influenced by environment, genotype of the pathogen, and genetic resistance to BSR. BSR is caused by two genotypes of Phialophora gregata: genotype A causes pith browning and leaf necrosis, and genotype B typically causes only pith browning. The distribution of the genotypes and their interactions with resistant and ...

Seaweeds are marine floras constituting in part to over 90% of the oceanic biomass. Despite enrichments seaweeds, their potentials largely unexplored. Hence, this study evaluated phytochemical screening, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and cytotoxicity activities methanolic extracts Ecklonia radiata Jania verrucosa. E. J. verrucosa were collected from sites on rocky shores Mbashe Port St. John...

Medical School, The University of Sydney, Camperdown, NSW 2050, Australia We present two patients with elephantiasis nostras verrucosa of the lower limbs which improved with oral acitretin. One patient was young and otherwise well while the other was a diabetic with multiple co-morbidities. The treatment was well tolerated and resulted in flattening of verrucous and hyperkeratotic skin lesions ...

By using stereospecifically double-labelled radioactive mevalonates it was shown that betulaprenols-6 to -9, found in the woody tissue of Betula verrucosa, each contain three biogenetically trans-isoprene residues and that the remaining residues are biogenetically cis. The results obtained with these radioactive mevalonates also indicated that the activity of isopentenyl pyrophosphate isomerase...

A 28-year-old man presented with a partially eroded growth on the back of his right thigh for the last 15 years. Tuberculosis verrucosa cutis and pyogenic granuloma were suspected on clinical examination. Histopathological examination revealed syringocystadenoma papilliferum (SCAP). SCAP is rare on the thigh and a review of the English literature revealed eight cases. Non-descript clinical pres...

demonstrated for all these proteins. However, the assignment of 9 distinct allergen numbers to members of the same protein family is quite unusual. Methods: Currently, the IUIS allergen database contains 12 allergen and isoallergen sequences from C. thummi thummi. The Uniprot database has demerged entry P02225, listed in the database for Chi t 7, into 7 entries, 5 from C. thummi thummi and 2 fr...
