Wheat blast disease: Bangladesh and global perspectives of blast resistance

Journal of the Bangladesh Agricultural University, 2019
Fearsome wheat blast disease expanded its radius from Latin America to Bangladesh in 2016 with higher degrees of destruction efficiency. In 1985, Brazil was the first hotspot and consecutively Paraguay, Argentina, Bolivia were affected by the wheat blast fungus. Blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae is under pyriculariaceae family with three-celled, pyriform,

Biointensive management of blast disease of rice

Oryza-An International Journal on Rice, 2021
Blast of rice caused by Pyricularia grisea (Cooke.) Sacc. (Teleomorph :Magnaporthe oryzae) is a serious disease of rice and causes considerable reduction in yield. Overdose and untimely application of chemical fungicides disturb the rice ecosystem, pollute the environment and induce resistant mutants of the pathogen.

A Population‐Based Study on Childhood Aplastic Anemia—Incidence, Outcomes, and Health‐Related Quality of Life

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Childhood aplastic anemia (AA) is a rare disease, and both the disease itself and its treatment cause significant morbidity. We aimed to determine the contemporary incidence of childhood AA in Finland, to compare the clinical characteristics of AA against inherited bone marrow failure syndromes (IBMFS) and refractory cytopenia of ...

Biochemical Studies on the Rice Blast Disease

Japanese Journal of Phytopathology, 1955
The rice blast fungus was cultivated on the medium containing glutamic acid as the sole source of carbon and nitrogen. The fungus grew well on that medium. The maximum yield of the mycelium per gram atom of carbon was 87per cent to that of the one grown on the medium containing sucrose and nitrate.

Structural insights and therapeutic targets in Acinetobacter baumannii capsule biosynthesis

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Hypervirulent KL49 A. baumannii's capsular polysaccharide contains the nonulosonic acid 8‐epi‐Leg5,7Ac2, synthesized by epimerization via ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC. Crystal structures of ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC reveal their role in CMP‐Leg5,7Ac2 synthesis and regioselective C8 epimerization.

Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

Epidemiological Studies on Rice Blast Disease

Japanese Journal of Phytopathology, 1972
In order to know the effect of the degree of resistance or susceptibility of rice plants to fungal growth on infection rate of blast fungus, various rice varieties were grown in the field where various amounts of fertilizer were top-dressed. The disease increase was measured by lesion number and the degree of resistance or susceptibility of rice plants

Evaluation of Blast Resistance in Zinc-Biofortified Rice

Plants
Rice is a staple food for over half of the world’s population, and it is grown in over 100 countries. Rice blast disease can cause 10% to 30% crop loss, enough to feed 60 million people.

Farmers’ knowledge and perception of finger millet blast disease and its control practices in western Kenya

CABI Agriculture and Bioscience, 2021
Background Finger millet blast disease, caused by Pyricularia oryzae, is a serious constrain of finger millet production which is threatening global food security especially to the resource poor smallholder farmers in arid and semi-arid regions.

Identification of blast-resistance loci through genome-wide association analysis in foxtail millet (Setaria italica (L.) Beauv.)

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2021
Blast disease caused by the fungus Magnaporthe grisea results in significant yield losses of cereal crops across the world. To date, very few regulatory genes contributing to blast resistance in grass species have been identified and the genetic basis of
