The genus Colletotrichum, comprised of pathogenic fungi that affect plants grown worldwide, causes the disease known as anthracnose in several fruit and vegetable species. Several studies conducted on plants have shown that the disease is characterized by the presence of one or several species of the fungus attacking the fruit or other organs of the same host. To develop and implement effective...

Two skeletons of the large compsognathid Sinocalliopteryx gigas include intact abdominal contents. Both specimens come from the Jianshangou Beds of the lower Yixian Formation (Neocomian), Liaoning, China. The holotype of S. gigas preserves a partial dromaeosaurid leg in the abdominal cavity, here attributed to Sinornithosaurus. A second, newly-discovered specimen preserves the remains of at lea...

To develop new type of sponge cake, the effects of partial (0~40%) replacement with Rubus coreanus powder (RCP) on the quality characteristics of sponge cakes were investigated. The pH level and moisture content ranged from 4.05~8.23 and 28.49~36.59, respectively, and significantly decreased upon addition of RCP (P<0.05). Baking loss rate and cake firmness significantly increased with higher RC...

Alergol Inmunol Clin, December 1999 Vol. 14, No 6, pp. 398-401 The blackberry (Morus nigra, Rubus fruticosus) (Fig. 1) is the fruit of the blackberry bush, a wild-occurring bush of the Rosaceae family, genus Rubus. A number of proteins from fruits of this family have been implicated in allergic processes, both independently and in association with pollenosis. There have been reports of asthma, ...

Young shoots of Rubus species have been used for healing of wounds, infected insect bites and pimples in folk medicine for ages. In order to evaluate the wound healing activity of Rubus sanctus, four different extracts were prepared from the whole aerial parts of the plant by using n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate and methanol, respectively. Incision wound healing model by using tensiometer ...

In the present article, two new mitosporic spccies are introdued, namely: Cercospora fraxinicola Ershad, sp. nov. on Fraxinus rotundifolia and Ramularia rubicola Ershad, sp. nov. on Rubus caesicus.

There are several issues faced by a developer when holistic response-time analysis (HRTA) is implemented and integrated with a tool chain. The developer has to not only implement the analysis, but also extract unambiguous timing and tracing information from design model. We present an implementation of HRTA as a plug-in for an industrial tool suite Rubus-ICE that is used for component-based dev...

Several hydrolytic enzyme activities were detected in the wall of developing cells of Rubus fruticosus in suspension culture. The corresponding substrates of the enzymes are mostly polysaccharide wall constituents, except for chitinase activity. The activities measured when the enzymes were in the free state or wall-bound showed the positive influence of the cell wall micro-environment. Changes...
