Bletilla striata (Thunb.) Rchb. f. (Orchidaceae), a perennial plant, is traditional Chinese herb (known as baiji) used to treat hemorrhage, scalding injuries, gastric ulcers, pulmonary diseases, and inflammation (Zu et al. 2019). In May 2019, foliar blight symptoms were observed on approximately 25% of B. (cv. Guiji No.1) plants in three plantations (∼4.5 hectares total) Ziyuan County, Guangxi ...

The bacteria which are members of the genus Bacillus are known to produce a wide variety of antimicrobial substances and bacteriocins. The main objective of this study was to investigate the effect of these bacteriocins on eukaryotic cells such as fungi, yeast and plant seeds. Several strains were screened for antifungal activities and identified by the means of polymerase chain reacti...

The heterokaryotic and vegetative diploid phases of Magnaporthe grisea, a fungal pathogen of grasses, have been characterized. Prototrophic heterokaryons form when complementary auxotrophs are paired on minimal medium. Hyphal tip cells and conidia (vegetative spores) taken from these heterokaryons are auxotrophs with phenotypes identical to one or the other of the parents. M. grisea heterokaryo...

Fungal hyphae--and in some cases, spores--are multi-nucleate. During genetic transformation of these spores or mycelia, only one nucleus generally receives the transferred T-DNA generating heterokaryotic colonies. Characterization of genetic changes, such as the effects of gene disruption in the transformants, requires purified homokaryotic lines. Hyphal tip transfer has conventionally been use...

BACKGROUND The technique and safety of transcatheter patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) closure have evolved during the past 20 years. We sought to report a multicenter experience of PDA closure with a focus on the rate of adverse events (AE) and a review of institutional practice differences. METHODS AND RESULTS Outcome data on transcatheter PDA closure were collected at 8 centers prospectively ...

A field survey was carried out in Tamil Nadu agricultural university, Coimbatore, to locate Horse purslane (Trianthema portulacastrum) infected with fungal pathogens. Heavily infested areas were recognized and symptomatic leaves collected. Fungal species account for leaf spot disease of Isolated from on PDA medium. Based morphological characteristics two foliar pathogens identified as Gibbago t...

In this paper, the issue of designing an iterative detection and decoding (IDD) aided receiver relying on the lowcomplexity probabilistic data association (PDA) method, is addressed for turbo-coded multiple-input–multiple-output (MIMO) systems using general M -ary modulations. We demonstrate that the classic candidate-search aided bit-based extrinsic loglikelihood ratio (LLR) calculation method...

fungi associated with ascocarps of terfezia claveryi, tirmania nivea, t. pinoyi, picoa lefebvrei and p. juniperi in iran showed a wide range of genera and species in 94 samples collected during 2005–2009 from different regions including fars, systan and baluchestan, kerman, east azarbaijan, khuzestan, kermanshah and hormozgan provinces. thirty two species belonging to 21 genera were recovered f...
