Northern corn leaf blight (NCLB) is an economically important disease of maize.While the genetic architecture of NCLB has been well characterized, the pathogen is known to overcome currently deployed resistance genes, and the role of hormones in resistance to NCLB is an area of active research.The objectives of the study were (i) to identify signif
Twenty-two chronic acoholic patients were assessed by neurologic examination and muscle biopsy.The patients manifested proximal muscular weakness to a variable extent.One case presented as an acute bout of myopathy, according to the Manual Muscle Test, MMT.The most prominent histologic feature observed was muscle atrophy (95.3%) better evidenced th
Crosses between laboratory strains of mice provide a powerful way of detecting quantitative trait loci for complex traits related to human disease.Hundreds of these loci have been detected, but only a small number of the underlying causative genes have been identified.The main difficulty is the extensive linkage disequilibrium (LD) in intercross pr
Linguatula serrata, Blu-Ray Disc Player commonly known as the dogs’ ‘tongue-worm’, is an arthropod endoparasite of the class Pentastomida infesting chiefly canids as definitive hosts and herbivores as intermediate hosts.Adult L.serrata usually reside in the upper respiratory tract, such as the nasal cavity and sinuses, and the larval stages a
ObjectivesTo explore the relationship between leucine in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and cognitive dysfunction in rats with early life stress (ELS) induced mental illness, and pathophysiological mechanism involved.MethodsThe maternal separation (MS), an animal paradigm used widely as a preclinical model of ELS which is one of the important risk facto
