Crop Science, Volume 64, Issue 5, Page 2823-2839, September/October 2024.Abstract Hop powdery mildew (PM) (Podosphaera macularis) causes substantial losses if left uncontrolled. Most resistant hop cultivars possess qualitative resistance based on R‐genes. One cultivar, Comet, has uncharacterized resistance that may be polygenic.

How to Improve Sustainability in Fused Filament Fabrication (3D Printing) Research?
Global Challenges, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2024.This review provides an overview of sustainable approaches that can be incorporated into well‐known procedures for the development of materials, pre‐ and post‐treatments, modifications, adjustments, and applications of 3D‐printed objects, especially for fused filament fabrication (FFF). All these strategies can minimize environmental damage, while also

Isolation of a human-like antibody fragment (scFv) that neutralizes ricin biological activity
BMC Biotechnology, 2009 Background Ricin is a lethal toxin that inhibits protein synthesis. It is easily extracted from a ubiquitously grown plant, Ricinus communis, and thus readily available for use as a bioweapon (BW). Anti-ricin antibodies provide the only known therapeutic

Ricin Perspective in Bioterrorism [PDF]
, 2012 Ricin is one of the most toxic and easily produced plant toxins. It is derived from the castor plant, Ricinus communis (Fig. 1), a shrub native to Africa but currently is being cultivated in many areas of the world for its co mmercial products, primarily castor oil. The seeds of R. communis, commonly called beans (although not a true bean) (Fig.

Ricin Toxin Activates the NALP3 Inflammasome
Toxins, 2010 Ricin exhibits well characterized ribotoxic actions that lead to the inhibition of protein synthesis and the phosphorylation of stress activated protein kinases (SAPKs).

International Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2001 The plant toxin ricin binds to terminal galactose-containing cell-surface receptors. The toxin is endocytosed and transported to the Golgi apparatus. Recent evidence suggests that ricin binds to galactosylated calreticulin, which may carry the toxin from the Golgi apparatus to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).

Effects of ricin on primary pulmonary alveolar macrophages
Journal of International Medical Research, 2019 Objective We systematically investigated the cytotoxic effects of ricin in primary pulmonary alveolar macrophages (PAMs). Methods Primary PAMs were isolated from BALB/c mice.
