Gun bluing solution is commonly used to polish guns and prevent rusting. The authors report a case of a 2-year-old boy who inadvertently ingested approximately 15 ml of his father's Fox Gun Blue solution. The patient subsequently developed acidosis, hypotension, and coma. He died within four hours after ingestion. His plasma selenium level was 857 ng/ml. A brief review of other reported ingesti...

The main efforts in common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) breeding focus on yield, grain quality, and resistance to biotic abiotic stresses. One of the major threats affecting global cultivation causing significant crop production losses are rust diseases, including leaf caused by a biotrophic fungus Puccinia triticina Eriks. Genetically determined has been characterized young plants (seedling re...

ABSTRACT Leaf and stripe rusts, caused by Puccinia triticina and P. striiformis, respectively, are globally important fungal diseases of wheat that cause significant annual yield losses. A gene that confers slow rusting resistance to leaf rust, designated as Lr46, has recently been located on wheat chromosome 1B. The objectives of our study were to establish the precise genomic location of gene...
