Genotype × environment (G×E) interaction complicates the identification of superior genotypes. An understanding its causes is needed for a more effective breeding strategy. The objective of this study was to determine the plant traits that cause genotype × location (G×L) interaction for pod yield in peanut using a modeling approach. The CSM-CROPGRO-Peanut model was used to simulate pod yiel...

tries. Most allergic reactions are mediated by allergen-specific IgE antibodies. Therefore, development of a method for inhibiting allergen-specific IgE production is a useful approach to prevent food-allergic diseases. IgE synthesis is considered to be caused by development and activation of T helper-2 (Th2) cells and B cells. This specific Th2 cell produces predominantly interleukin (IL)-4 an...

BACKGROUND Salmonella serotype Tennessee is a rare cause of the estimated 1 million cases of salmonellosis occurring annually in the United States. In January 2007, we began investigating a nationwide increase in Salmonella Tennessee infections. METHODS We defined a case as Salmonella Tennessee infection in a patient whose isolate demonstrated 1 of 3 closely related pulsed-field gel electroph...

Peanut haulms compost as a carrier of three Trichoderma species (T. harzianum, T. hamatum and T. koningii) exhibited different morphological and chemical characteristics and its ability to control Fusarium wilt of cumin plants caused by Fusarium oxysporum compared with peat/vermiculite. The peanut haulms carrier was able to increase the population size, numbers, viability, survival, microbial b...

In the Aspergillus flavus (A. flavus)-peanut pathosystem, development and metabolism of the fungus directly influence aflatoxin contamination. To comprehensively understand the molecular mechanism of A. flavus interaction with peanut, RNA-seq was used for global transcriptome profiling of A. flavus during interaction with resistant and susceptible peanut genotypes. In total, 67.46 Gb of high-qu...

The high incidence of various soil-borne diseases in the monoculture field of peanut is a major production constraint in the red soil regions of southern China. The peanut root exudates are generally thought to play an important role in regulating soil-borne pathogens. The responses of the soil-borne pathogens, Fusarium oxysporum and F. solani to the peanut root exudates were studied using one ...

Emerging data suggest that measurement of serum IgE to peanut components can be clinically helpful and more accurate than IgE to whole peanut to predict peanut allergy. Not all studies have used prospective samples, multiple components and oral challenges. Currently, there are no data on this topic involving Italian children. 32 patients (23 males; median age 9 years) with reported history for ...

BACKGROUND Threshold levels for peanut allergy determined by using oral challenges are important for the food industry with regard to allergen labeling. Moreover, the utility of biological markers in predicting threshold levels is uncertain. OBJECTIVE We sought to use a modified oral food challenge regimen that might determine threshold levels for peanut allergy mimicking a more real-life exp...
