Twenty-eight surgical procedures were performed in 23 dogs with atlantoaxial subluxation. Dorsal stabilization in seven dogs resulted in two recoveries and five failures of fixation. Ventral decompression and stabilization in 18 dogs resulted in eight recoveries and four failures of fixation. Six dogs died or were euthanatized within 7 days of ventral stabilization. Using either technique, four of seven nonambulatory dogs recovered.  相似文献   

CROISSANCE, RHIZOGENESE, TENEUR EN ANTHO-CYANES ET CATABOLISME AUXINIQUE (IN VITRO ET IN VIVO) CHEZ ZEA MAYS TRAITÉ PAR L'HYDRAZIDE MALÉIQUE     

THOMAS GASPAR  OLIVIER GLEDJO 《Weed Research》1969,9(4):348-356

Résumé. Des plantules de mais sont cultivées à partir de la graine, à 1'obscurite ct i la lumiere, sur des solutions tamponnées (pH5,8) d'hydrazidemalfrque (HM) de concentrations allant de 10' a 10⁻³ M. AUX faibles concentrations (10° et 10⁻⁶ M), I'HM stimule la croissance et la formation des racines; aux autres concentrations, it est inhibiteur. L'inhibition de croissance provoquee par I'HM est accompagnee d'une augmentation de poids sec et de la teneur en anthocyanes.
L'HM n'influence pas in vitro la destruction de I'auxine par des extraits de mais, mais les extraits de plantes traitees par cette substance degradent l'hormone moins rapidement; parallelement, l'activite catalasique est diminuee mais l'activite péroxydasique est augmented. Le mode d'action de I'HM sur la croissanee et la rhizogenpse, compart à celui de la lumierc, est discute en rapport avec ses effets sur le raetabolisme auxinique.  相似文献   

Control of the cowpea aphid, Aphis craccivora Koch (Homoptera: Aphididae), in cowpea, Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.     

THOMAS I. OFUYA 《Integrated Pest Management Reviews》1997,2(4):199-207

Cowpea, Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walpers, is a major dietary staple in tropical Africa where it is most often cultivated. The production is, however, greatly hampered by severe infestation and damage by insect pests including the cowpea aphid, Aphis craccivora Koch. The damage and bionomics of the aphid are briefly introduced. Chemical, cultural, physical and biological methods, and use of plant resistance for A. craccivora control in cowpea are reviewed. Finally, prospects for integrated pest management are discussed  相似文献   

Infection of ryegrass by three rust fungi (Puccinia coronata, P. graminis and P. loliina) and some effects of temperature on the establishment of the disease and sporulation     

H. W. RODERICK  & B. J. THOMAS 《Plant pathology》1997,46(5):751-761

Experiments were conducted to examine the processes leading up to the infection of Lolium temulentum by crown rust ( Puccinia coronata ), stem rust ( P. graminis ) and brown rust ( P. loliina ), and the effects of temperature on these processes and sporulation. Uredia of all three rusts were produced freely if the adaxial leaf surface was inoculated, but did not form following inoculation of the abaxial surface. Light and scanning electron microscopy revealed abnormal growth of germlings on the abaxial surface which had amorphous sheet-like epicuticular waxes and very few stomata. On the adaxial leaf surface germ tubes of all the rusts orientated at right angles to the long axis of the leaf. However, the directional growth of germ tubes was often disrupted when they contacted the surface of bulliform cells at the base of leaf grooves. For P. loliina the optimum temperatures for urediospore germination and sub-stomatal vesicle formation were 12–16°C, and 8–20°C for appressorium formation. The optimum temperatures, for the same stages of fungal development, for P. coronata and P. graminis were higher. Urediospore production of P. loliina was higher at 10°C than at 25°C, but was similar at both temperatures for P. coronata .  相似文献   

Factors affecting development of Septoria tritici in winter wheat and its effect on yield     

M. R. THOMAS  R. J. COOK  J. E KING 《Plant pathology》1989,38(2):246-257

Severe infection with Septoria tritici occurred in four of five experiments designed to create a series of different disease epidemics. These experiments successfully identified periods suitable for infection. They also indicated the effect of sprays, timed before and after these periods, on disease development and yield.
Analysis of disease progress and weather records suggested that critical conditions for initial development of S. tritici occurred during early May at four sites. Heavy rain giving at least 10 mm on 1 day or a total of 10 mm or more on 2 or 3 successive days occurred at all four sites prior to the appearance of symptoms on a particular leaf layer, though less heavy rain may suffice to splash inoculum onto upper leaves in shorter, immature canopies where stem elongation is incomplete. At the fifth site, infection occurred later in May and disease failed to develop to a significant degree. At all sites, the length of the incubation period on any of the top three leaves was found to be between 396 and 496 degree days.
Control of winter epidemics of S. tritici had little effect on yield, whereas spray sequences commencing later than growth stage (GS) 31 but immediately prior to the critical periods provided the best disease control and yield benefit. Regression models incorporating, as independent variables, area under the S. tritici disease progress curve for any of the top three leaves from their emergence (GS 32-37) satisfactorily explained yield loss at the four sites where disease was severe. Consideration of leaf 2 or leaf 3 alone accounted for more than 82% of the variance at each site and a yield loss from infection of leaf 2 related to thermal time is suggested as 0.00265% per C per day from the appearance of symptoms.  相似文献   

Influence of site factors on yield response of winter wheat to fungicide programmes in England and Wales, 1979–1987     

R. J. COOK  M. R. THOMAS 《Plant pathology》1990,39(3):548-557

Results of 460 field experiments between 1979 and 1987 incorporating one, two and three fungicide sprays, with a range of active ingredients, were analysed according to site factors including previous crop, sowing date and geographical area. The average untreated yield was 7–48 t/ha, although this fluctuated widely from 6 15 t/ha in 1985 to 9 411 ha in 1984. A single spray at flag-leaf emergence gave an average yield increment of 0 59 t/ha over plots receiving no fungicide. The addition of a second spray at the first-node growth stage gave an extra benefit of 0.22 t/ha, while an additional third spray at ear emergence gave a further 0.28t/ha. The effects on yield of different spray timings were modified by other factors, of which sowing date and previous crop were most important to the first-node spray, and cultivar and geographical area to the ear emergence spray. The data suggest that all crops would benefit economically from a broad-spectrum fungicide applied at flag-leaf emergence. Additionally, crops sown in September, those following winter wheat and those in regions bordering the North Sea respond well at the first-node stage to a fungicide active against eyespot.  相似文献   

Normal germling development by Erysiphe graminis on cereal leaves freed of epicuticular wax   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：1  

T. L. W. CARVER  B. J. THOMAS 《Plant pathology》1990,39(3):367-375

Experiments were conducted to test the hypothesis that recognition of the physical structure of epicuticular leaf waxes by Erysiphe graminis may be important to the development of normal germlings and the formation of functional appressoria. Comparisons of germination rates and characteristics of germling development by E. graminis f.sp. avenae , and in one experiment by f.sp. hordei , were made between intact cereal leaves and leaves from which the epicuticular waxes had been stripped away.
Overall, fungal development was very similar on intact and wax-free leaves: although germination rates were slightly, but significantly, lower, and lengths of appressorial germ tubes slightly greater, on stripped than intact leaves, a very similar proportion of germlings formed apparently normal appressoria in both cases. This was true for f.sp. avenae on first- and fifth-formed leaves of susceptible and adult plant resistant oats, and on barley and wheat first leaves, and for f.sp. hordei on first leaves of barley, oat and wheat. The appressoria formed on stripped leaves not only appeared normal, but also formed haustoria with at least the same frequency as on intact leaves; in several experiments, a higher proportion formed haustoria in stripped than intact leaves. Wax removal did not affect the adult plant resistance of oat cv. Maldwyn, which limits haustorium formation by appressoria, indicating that epicuticular wax was not involved in this resistance. It is concluded that the physical structure of epicuticular wax is not involved in the recognition processes leading to normal germling development.  相似文献   

Impact of post-emergence herbicides on weed community diversity within conservation-tillage systems   总被引：6，自引：0，他引：6  

D. A. DERKSEN  A. G. THOMAS  G. P. LAFOND  H. A. LOEPPKY  C.J. SWANTON 《Weed Research》1995,35(4):311-320

The influence of herbicides on weed community dynamics is an issue of agroecological concern. A field study was initiated in 1986 with zero-, minimum-, and conventional-tillage systems. In 1989 and 1990, the fourth and fifth years of study, weed community diversity and relative composition were assessed prior to and following the application of post-emergence non-residual herbicides. Weed communities were assessed at the level of tillage system to balance the effect of different crop sequences and crop-herbicide combinations within each comparison. In general, herbicides did not reduce community diversity when compared by Shannon's H’and dominance-diversity curves. An increase in species richness and evenness, as assessed by Shannon's E and Margalef's D_MG occurred in some cases. Differences in relative community composition among tillage systems were apparent before the application of herbicides, but disappeared following herbicide application. The use of herbicides in this study reduced weed densities, maintained weed diversity, and inhibited community changes that were due to changing tillage systems.  相似文献   

Evaluation of Internal Obturator Muscle Transposition in Treatment of Perineal Hernia in Dogs     

ELIZABETH M. HARDIE DVM    RONALD J. KOLATA DVM  MS  DipACVS    THOMAS D. EARLEY DVM  MS    CLARENCE A. RAWLINGS DVM  PhD  DipACVS  EDWARD J. GORGACZ VMD  PhD 《Veterinary surgery : VS》1983,12(2):69-72

A technique that utilizes transposition of the internal obturator muscle for repair of perineal hernias was evaluated. Forty-two male dogs were followed for at least one year after surgery. The repair failed in only one animal, a dog with previously operated bilateral hernias. Microangiography demonstrated an adequate blood supply to the transposed internal obturator muscles of two dogs examined at three weeks and three months after surgery.  相似文献
