Bank competition and outreach: evidence from Turkey [PDF]
In light of the importance of banking sector outreach and given concerns that competition may adversely affect it, this study explores the empirical linkage between banking structure and outreach in Turkey for the period 1988-2010.

tA Single Amino Acid Difference Distinguishes Resistant and Susceptible Alleles of the Rice Blast Resistance Gene Pi-ta [PDF]
The rice blast resistance (R) gene Pi-ta mediates gene-for-gene resistance against strains of the fungus Magnaporthe grisea that express avirulent alleles of AVR-Pita. Using a map-based cloning strategy, we cloned Pi-ta, which is linked to the centromere of chromosome 12.

Fitness benefit plays a vital role in the retention of thePi-tasusceptible alleles [PDF]
AbstractIn plants, large numbers ofRgenes, which segregate as loci with alternative alleles conferring different resistance to pathogens, have been maintained over a long evolutionary time. In theory, there seem to be no reason for hosts to harbor these susceptible alleles in view of their null contribution to resistance.

Intron-targeted gene insertion in rice using CRISPR/Cas9: A case study of the Pi-ta gene
Intron-targeted gene insertion strategy using CRISPR/Cas9 (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/CRISPR-associated Cas9) has been shown to be a potential tool for crop genetic improvement by targeted mutagenesis or gene replacement of an elite allele into widely cultivated rice varieties.

SCAR (Sequence Characterized Amplified Region) Analysis for Pi-b and Pi-ta Genes on 28 Genotypes of Rice [PDF]
Evaluation to blast disease (Pyricularia grisea) resistance was carried out by using two SCAR (Sequence Characterized Amplified Region) markers of Pi-b and Pi-ta blast resistance genes, and spray-inoculation method with 10 races of P.
