CONVERSION OF THE PATHOGENIC FUNGUS COLLETOTRICHUM MAGNA TO A NONPATHOGENIC, ENDOPHYTIC MUTUALIST BY GENE DISRUPTION

Conversion of the Pathogenic Fungus Colletotrichum magna to a Nonpathogenic, Endophytic Mutualist by Gene Disruption

Hygromycin-resistant transformants of the cucurbit pathogen Colletotrichum magna (teleomorph: Glomerella magna) were generated by restriction enzyme-mediated integration (REMI) transformation.A rapid pathogenicity assay involving watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) seedlings was developed and 14,400 REMI transformants were screened and assessed for thei

When kidneys get old: an essay on nephro-geriatrics

Abstract Aging is a nearly universal phenomenon in biology only partially controlled by genetic endowment.Individuals and their organs age at varying rates.The kidneys manifest the aging process by steady ECB Load Wire loss of nephrons and a corresponding decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) beginning about age 30 years.The mechanisms respo

National Prevalence of Caprine Prion Protein Genetic Variability at Codons 146, 211, and 222 in Goat Herds in the United States

Scrapie is a neurodegenerative disease that impacts sheep and goats, characterized by gradual and progressive changes in neurological function.Recent research shows that the scrapie incubation period is significantly influenced by specific variations in amino acids within the prion protein gene (PRNP).The objective of this study was to estimate the

A statistical method for stastical appraisal of the power cable conditions based on the TD and PD diagsnostics result

This study handles one of the key questions of network operators: How can the remaining life time of underground power cables be estimated? The answer to this question is explained by a new method of KEPCO Korea.When combining VLF Tan Delta (TD) and Partial Discharge (PD) diagnostic it is possible to identify and localize weak individual spots alon
