Characterization of Lr46, a gene conferring partial resistance to wheat leaf rust [PDF]
, 2001 Components of resistance conferred by the Lr46 gene, reported as causing "slow rusting" resistance to leaf rust in wheat, were studied and compared with the effects of Lr34 and genes for quantitative resistance in cv. Akabozu. Lr34 is a gene that confers

Oestrogens and Host Resistance [PDF]
Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, 1980 The literature is searched for references to studies dealing with the immunobiological effects of pregnancy and other instances of increased estrogenic production in humans and various animal species. In the human female the estrogen-related metabolic changes associated with pregnancy and reproduction have widespread effects on host tolerance of the ...

Isolation and fine mapping of Rps6: An intermediate host resistance gene in barley to wheat stripe rust [PDF]
, 2016 A plant may be considered a nonhost of a pathogen if all known genotypes of a plant species are resistant to all known isolates of a pathogen species. However, if a small number of genotypes are susceptible to some known isolates of a pathogen species ...

Evaluation of African-Bred Maize Germplasm Lines for Resistance to Aflatoxin Accumulation
Agronomy, 2016 Aflatoxins, produced by the fungus Aspergillus flavus, contaminate maize grain and threaten human food and feed safety. Plant resistance is considered the best strategy for reducing aflatoxin accumulation. Six maize germplasm lines, TZAR101–TZAR106, were

Effects of changing mosquito host searching behaviour on the cost effectiveness of a mass distribution of long-lasting, insecticidal nets : a modelling study [PDF]
, 2013 The effectiveness of long-lasting, insecticidal nets (LLINs) in preventing malaria is threatened by the changing biting behaviour of mosquitoes, from nocturnal and endophagic to crepuscular and exophagic, and by their increasing resistance to ...
