Chlorotic ringspots or chlorotic leaf specking, terminal bud necrosis, axillary shoot proliferation and severe stunting of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) were shown to be caused by tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV). Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata cv. C-152) was found to be a good assay host. TSWV remained infective in buffered sap of groundnut at a dilution of 10-2’5, after storage for 4 h at room temp...

J.D. Mantecón. 2009. Control of potato early blight with triazole fungicide using preventive and curative spraying, or a forecasting system. Cien. Inv. Agr. 36(2):291-296. During the 2005 and 2006 growing seasons, two fi eld trials were conducted at the INTA Balcarce Experimental Station (Argentina) to study the control of potato early blight (Alternaria solani). Uncut virus-free seed tubers of...

California bay laurel trees (Umbellularia californica) play a crucial role in the reproduction and survival of Phytophthora ramorum in coastal California forests by supporting sporulation during the rainy season and by providing a means for the pathogen to survive the dry, Mediterranean summer. While bay laurel is thus critical to the epidemiology of sudden oak death and other P. ramorum diseas...

The role of infection in the etiology of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is poorly understood. Large-scale epidemiological descriptions of the histology and microbiology of BRONJ are not found in the literature. Herein, we present a systematic review of BRONJ histology and microbiology (including demographics, immunocompromised associations, clinical signs and symptoms, ...

Generation of cellular asymmetry or cell polarity plays a critical role in cell-cycle-regulated morphogenetic processes involving the actin cytoskeleton. The GTPase Cdc42 regulates actin rearrangements and signal transduction pathways in all eukaryotic cells [1], and the temporal and spatial regulation of Cdc42p depends on the activity and targeting of its guanine-nucleotide exchange factor (GE...

fire blight is an important worldwide disease of pome fruits that control of which through antibiotics is particularly critical. in this case and in absence of another chemical methods, the biocontrol methods can be considered as the best alternative for control of fire blight. in this study efficacy of 5 isolates of antagonistic bacteria belongs to pseudomonas fluorescens and pantoea agglomera...

Microscopic bud dissection can be used to assess grapevine fruitfulness prior winter pruning and long before actual measured in the vineyard following spring. Bud dissections should performed by qualified trained personnel because inflorescence primordia are difficult distinguish some varieties. In Puglia region, Southeastern Italy, 2018 2019, potential using observed were compared for seventee...

A novel budesonide (BUD) colon delivery release system was developed by using a natural polysaccharide, guar gum. The rigidity of the microspheres was induced by a chemical cross-linking method utilizing glutaraldehyde as the cross-linker. The mean particle size of the microspheres prepared was found to be 15.21 ± 1.32 µm. The drug loading and entrapment efficiency of the formulation were 17.78...
