Ultrastructure of the Z-organ and associated apophyses in Xiphinema coxi coxi was studied by transmission electron microscopy to determine their structural origin and relationship with other parts of the genital tract. The Z-organ of X. coxi coxi is oval-shaped, ca. 30 microm long and 16 microm wide. It is clearly distinguished from the other parts of the female genital tract by its thick muscu...

It is shown that the conforming Q2,1;1,2-Q ′ 1 mixed element is stable, and provides optimal order of approximation for the Stokes equations on rectangular grids. Here Q2,1;1,2 = Q2,1 ×Q1,2 and Q2,1 denotes the space of continuous piecewise-polynomials of degree 2 or less in the x direction but of degree 1 in the y direction. Q′1 is the space of discontinuous bilinear polynomials, with spurious...

The dagger nematodes, Xiphinema spp., are migratory root-ectoparasitic nematodes that cause damage to a wide range of wild and cultivated plants over the world. In Vietnam, this nematode group has been studied mainly based on morphological characterizations. During survey pathogens associated with tea, plant many medicinal therapeutic potentials, population hunaniense was recorded. This study p...

Kumari S. (2009): Detection of Cherry leaf roll virus and Strawberry latent ring spot virus by one-step RTPCR. Plant Protect. Sci., 45: 140–143. A one-step reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) protocol was developed and used for the detection of Cherry leaf roll virus (CLRV) and Strawberry latent ring spot virus (SLRSV). The protocol was used to test infected screen house pl...

Studies were conducted to investigate the basipetal translocation of nematicidal activity from foliar treatments of carbofuran and its analog, 2,3-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-7-benzofuranyl ([dibutylamino]thio)methyl carbamate, on corn in microplot studies and on tobacco and potato in field trials. Two and three foliar applications of either product at 2,400 mug/ml (9-20 Kg ai/Ha) significantly reduce...
