Relative resistance of derived cultivars of soybeans to the cyst nematode, Heterodera glycimes Ichinohe     

S.C. Anand  C.R. Shumway 《Crop Protection》1984,3(3):363-367

The three soybean cultivars, Custer, Pickett 71 and Forrest, which derived their resistance to race 3 of soybean cyst nematode (Heterodera glycines Ichinohe) from the variety Peking, were tested for their level of resistance. Similarly, Bedford, Nathan, D75-10710 and Bradley cultivars which are resistant to race 4 were compared against their donor parent PI 88788. Each soybean line was inoculated with eggs and larvae of known cyst-nematode cultures. Custer, Pickett 71, Forrest and Peking had equal levels of resistance to race 3 and all were equally susceptible to the culture developed on Forrest; however, Peking and Custer had fewer white females against PI 88788 culture than did those on Pickett 71 and Forrest. Among cultivars resistant to race 4, Nathan had a greater number of white females than PI 88788 against cultures developed on Essex, Bedford and Peking. In general, the derived cultivars had a greater number of white females per plant than their donor parents.  相似文献   

Effects of treatment with and without adjuvant radiation therapy on recurrence of ocular and adnexal squamous cell carcinoma in horses: 157 cases (1985-2002)

OBJECTIVE: To determine the effects of treatment with and without adjuvant radiation therapy on recurrence of ocular and adnexal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) at specific anatomic locations in horses. DESIGN: Retrospective study. ANIMALS: 91 horses. PROCEDURES: Medical records of horses with histologically confirmed ocular and adnexal SCC evaluated from 1985 to 2002 were reviewed. Sex, breed, age, type of treatment, location, and recurrence of SCC were recorded. Two treatment groups determined by recurrence of SCCs treated with and without adjuvant radiation therapy were established. RESULTS: The anatomic site with the highest recurrence rate was the limbus (junction of the cornea and sclera) or bulbar conjunctiva (477%), independent of treatment group. There was a significant difference in recurrence rates of ocular and adnexal SCCs between the 2 treatment groups, independent of anatomic location. Recurrence rates of SCCs treated with and without adjuvant radiation therapy were 11.9% and 44.1%, respectively. Recurrence rates for SCCs of the eyelid, limbus or bulbar conjunctiva, and cornea treated with adjuvant radiation therapy were significantly different from those for SCCs treated without adjuvant radiation therapy. The most frequently represented anatomic site for ocular and adnexal SCCs was the eyelid (28.7%). Coat color, breed, and the interaction of age and breed had a significant effect on tumor recurrence regardless of treatment type and anatomic location. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Results indicated that ocular and adnexal SCCs treated with adjuvant radiation therapy had a significantly lower recurrence rate, compared with SCCs treated without adjuvant radiation therapy, independent of anatomic location.  相似文献   

Partial Antigenic Characterization of Buffalopox Virus     

Anand Kumar P  Butchaiah G 《Veterinary research communications》2004,28(6):543-552

The present study was undertaken to antigenically characterize the buffalopox virus (BPV). Six monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against the BP4 strain of BPV have been produced and characterized. All six MAbs appeared to be specific to BPV, as none of them showed cross-reactivity with other poxviruses in antigen capture ELISA. Only two MAbs (20AB8 and 20CD11) bound significantly with different BPV isolates in antigen capture ELISA, whereas the remaining four MAbs bound weakly with the BPV. In Western blot analysis with purified BPV-BP4, the rabbit hyperimmune serum against purified BPV-BP4 reacted with 15 immunodominant polypeptides (100 kDa to 25 kDa), whereas two MAbs (21CB6, 21DB11) reacted with 42 kDa and 45 kDa polypeptides, respectively. However, three MAbs (20AB8, 20CD11, 21CB5) reacted with three degraded polypeptides (100 kDa, 40 kDa and 87 kDa) of BPV-BP4. In radioimmunoprecipitation assay (RIPA) with the rabbit hyperimmune serum to BPV-BP4, three virus specific polypeptides (69 kDa, 34 kDa, 32 kDa) were recognized in BPV-BP4, whereas two polypeptides (69 kDa, 34 kDa) were recognized in other BPV isolates (BPV-Bly, BPV-Vij96, BPV-Vij97). In virus neutralization test, none of the six MAbs tested showed any significant neutralizing ability to infection with different BPV isolates. However, the hyperimmune serum showed weak neutralizing ability to BPV infection.  相似文献

Dyeing behavior of chemically modified poly(1,4-phenylene sulfide) fiber towards disperse,anionic, and cationic dyes     

Shamim-Ara Pervin  Arun Anand Prabu  Kap Jin Kim 《Fibers and Polymers》2014,15(6):1168-1174

Poly(1,4-phenylene sulfide) (PPS) exhibits good dimensional stability and flame retardant characteristics but its commercial development as fibers is highly limited due to lesser dyeing and finishing characteristics. Hence in the present study, we focused on the anionic and cationic modifications of PPS to enhance its dyeing ability towards disperse, cationic, and anionic dyes. Novel sulfonation and chloromethylation-quaternization of PPS fiber were carried out to achieve an industrially viable dyeing process methodology. The chemically modified PPS fiber is dyed with disperse, cationic, and anionic dyes, and the dyeing adsorption efficiency is quantitatively studied using a dye-o-meter equipped with UV-visible absorption spectroscope. The ideal parameters for dye adsorption were determined as a function of dyeing time, material-toliquor ratio, dyeing temperature, carrier concentration, sulfonation, and chloromethylation. The fastness properties of the dyed fabrics were also studied. Overall, with a maximum dye uptake of 99 % and 90 % achieved for sulfonated PPS and quaternized PPS respectively, the optimized conditions can be readily scaled-up to the commercial dyeing of PPS fiber with disperse, anionic, and cationic dyes.  相似文献   

Studies on the nutritional status of children aged 0-5 years in a drought-affected desert area of western Rajasthan, India     

Singh MB  Fotedar R  Lakshminarayana J  Anand PK 《Public health nutrition》2006,9(8):961-967

OBJECTIVE: The present study was undertaken to assess the impact of drought on the nutritional status of pre-school children aged 0-5 years from a rural population in a desert area facing drought conditions very frequently. DESIGN: The sampling design for assessment was the three-stage sampling technique. SETTING: The study was carried out in 24 villages belonging to six tehsils (sub-units of district) of Jodhpur District, a drought-affected desert district of western Rajasthan, during a drought in 2003. SUBJECTS: A total of 914 children were examined at household level, with nutritional status assessed by anthropometry, dietary intake and clinical signs of nutritional deficiency. RESULTS: The results revealed growth retardation. Stunting (malnutrition of long duration) was observed in 53% of children and underweight in 60%. Wasting, an indicator of short-duration malnutrition, was present in 28% of children. The extent of malnutrition was significantly higher in girls than boys (P<0.05). Vitamin A and B complex deficiencies were found in 0.7 and 3.0% of children, respectively. Prevalence of marasmus (protein-energy malnutrition, PEM) was 1.7% (2.3% in boys and 1.1% in girls). Overall deficits in mean energy and protein intakes were very high (76 and 54%, respectively). Comparison of the present drought results with earlier studies in desert normal and desert drought conditions showed higher prevalence of PEM and higher dietary energy and protein deficiencies. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of wasting was high, greater than the cut-off point of 15% stated by the World Health Organization to indicate that the severity of malnutrition is critical. PEM, vitamin A and B complex deficiencies and anaemia, along with dietary deficits of energy and protein, were observed to be higher than in non-desert areas. This may be due to the harsh environmental conditions in desert areas where drought occurs quite frequently and adversely affects the economy, largely by eroding the coping capacity and economic potential of the people as a result of heavy livestock losses and reduced harvests, leading to increased poverty and poor food intake of the inhabitants. Due to inadequate consumption of daily food the children were suffering from wasting and PEM. Efforts should be made to incorporate measures, such as ensuring the supply of adequate energy and protein to all age groups and especially pre-school children, into ongoing nutrition programmes in order to improve the food security of local inhabitants in this area.  相似文献

AGTR2 mutations in X-linked mental retardation   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

Two angiotensin II (Ang II)-specific receptors, AGTR1 and AGTR2, are expressed in the mammalian brain. Ang II actions on blood pressure regulation, water electrolyte balance, and hormone secretion are primarily mediated by AGTR1. The function of AGTR2 remains unclear. Here, we show that expression of the AGTR2 gene was absent in a female patient with mental retardation (MR) who had a balanced X;7 chromosomal translocation. Additionally, 8 of 590 unrelated male patients with MR were found to have sequence changes in the AGTR2 gene, including one frameshift and three missense mutations. These findings indicate a role for AGTR2 in brain development and cognitive function.  相似文献
