Tomato Square Acrylic Plaque powdery mildew caused by Oidium neolycopersici has become a globally important disease of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum).To study the defense responses of tomato triggered by tomato powdery mildew, we first mapped a set of resistance genes to O.neolycopersici from related Lycopersicon species.An integrated genetic map
UAV-based mapping, back analysis and trajectory modeling of a coseismic rockfall in Lefkada island, Greece
We present field evidence and a kinematic study of a rock block mobilized in the Ponti area by a Mw = 6.5 earthquake near the island of Lefkada on 17 November 2015.A detailed survey was conducted using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with an ultrahigh definition (UHD) camera, which produced a high-resolution orthophoto and a digital terrain model
Global Economic Uncertainties and Exchange Rate Management in Africa: A Panel Study
This study investigates the effects of global economic uncertainties on exchange rate management in Africa from 1990 to 2021.Employing the quantile Loaf Tin Liner regression technique, findings show that both global and domestic economic uncertainties have significant influence on exchange rate management in Africa.The intensity of global economic
Novel clinical presentation and PAX6 mutation in families with congenital aniridia
PurposeTo explore the clinical phenotype and Cake Stand genetic defects of families with congenital aniridia.MethodsFour Chinese families with aniridia were enrolled in this study.The detailed ocular presentations of the patients were recorded.Whole exome sequencing (BGI MGIEasy V4 chip) was used to detect the gene mutation.Sanger sequencing was pe
Periarticular osteophytes as an appendicular joint stress marker (JSM): analysis in a contemporary Japanese skeletal collection.
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to Fasteners investigate the possibility that periarticular osteophytes plays a role as a appendicular joint stress marker (JSM) which reflects the biomechanical stresses on individuals and populations.METHODS: A total of 366 contemporary Japanese skeletons (231 males, 135 females) were examined closely to evalu
