GENETIC IDENTIFICATION OF SNP MARKERS AND CANDIDATE GENES ASSOCIATED WITH SUGARCANE SMUT RESISTANCE USING BSR-SEQ

Genetic identification of SNP markers and candidate genes associated with sugarcane smut resistance using BSR-Seq

Sugarcane smut caused by Sporisorium scitamineum is one of the most severe fungal diseases worldwide.In this study, a cross was made between a smut-resistant variety YT93-159 and a Hair Cream smut-susceptible variety ROC22, and 312 progenies were obtained.Two bulks of progenies were then constructed, one consisted of 27 highly smut resistant progen

Motion as a phenotype: the use of live-cell imaging and machine visual screening to characterize transcription-dependent chromosome dynamics

Abstract Background Gene transcriptional activity is well correlated with intra-nuclear position, especially relative to the nuclear periphery, which is a region classically associated with gene silencing.Recently however, actively transcribed genes have also been found localized to the nuclear periphery in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.When g

Understand anisotropy dependence of damage evolution and material removal during nanoscratch of MgF2 single crystals

To understand the anisotropy dependence of the damage evolution and material removal during the machining process of MgF _2 single crystals, nanoscratch tests of MgF _2 single crystals with different crystal planes Building Blocks and directions were systematically performed, and surface morphologies of the scratched grooves under different conditi

A pragmatic randomized control trial and realist evaluation on the implementation and effectiveness of an internet application to support self-management among individuals seeking specialized mental health care: a study protocol

Abstract Background Mental illness is a substantial and rising contributor to the global burden of disease.Access to and utilization of mental health care, however, is limited by structural barriers such as specialist availability, time, out-of-pocket costs, and attitudinal barriers including stigma.Innovative solutions like virtual care are rapidl
