Resistance to Phomopsis Seed Decay in Soybean [PDF]

open access: yesISRN Agronomy, 2013
Phomopsis seed decay (PSD) of soybean is caused primarily by the fungal pathogen Phomopsis longicolla Hobbs along with other Phomopsis and Diaporthe spp. This disease causes poor seed quality and suppresses yield in most soybean-growing countries. Infected soybean seeds can be symptomless, but are typically shriveled, elongated, cracked, and have a ...

Charge Transport through Polyene Self-Assembled Monolayers from Multiscale Computer Simulations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We combine first-principles density-functional theory with matrix Green’s function calculations to predict the structures and charge transport characteristics of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of four classes of systems in contact with Au(111 ...

Utilization of temperature kinetics as a method to predict treatment intensity and corresponding treated wood quality : durability and mechanical properties of thermally modified wood [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Wood heat treatment is an attractive alternative to improve decay resistance of wood species with low natural durability. However, this improvement of durability is realized at the expense of the mechanical resistance.

Cell‐cycle‐specific lesion evolution rather than inhibition of double‐strand‐break repair underpins cisplatin radiosensitization

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We analyze cisplatin–DNA adducts (CDAs) and double‐strand breaks (DSBs) in a cell‐cycle‐dependent manner. We find that CDAs form similarly across all cell cycle phases. DSBs arise only in S‐phase. CDAs might not directly impair DSB repair, but S‐phase DSB lesions evolve in the presence of CDAs and disrupt repair in G2, also causing radiosensitization ...

Improvements in the Physical Properties and Decay Resistance of Bamboo Materials via Modification with Boric Acid and Borax

open access: yesBioResources, 2022
As a renewable biomaterial, bamboo has been widely used in construction and indoor decoration. While the application of bamboo is limited by its low decay resistance and flame retardancy, the combination of modification with boric acid and borax has been

Decay and leaching resistance of spruce and larch woods treated with preservatives following different incising pretreatments

open access: yesMaderas: Ciencia y Tecnología
The objective of this study was to determine the extent to which different incising pretreatments can increase decay and leaching resistance of Picea orientalis (oriental spruce) and Larix decidua (european larch) woods.

Chemical decay of an antibiotic inverts selection for resistance [PDF]

open access: yesNature Chemical Biology, 2010
Antibiotics are often unstable and can decay into various compounds with potential biological activities. We found that as tetracycline degrades, the competitive advantage conferred to bacteria by resistance not only diminishes but actually reverses to become a prolonged disadvantage due to the activities of more stable degradation products ...
