The genus Oryza of the Family Gramineae comprises 18 tropical and subtropical species, of which two species are cultivated as rice: O. sativa and O. glaberrima. Rice provides the staple food of 60% of mankind, and is cultivated in all tropical and subtropical countries. Oryza sativa is thought to have been domesticated in China before 6500 BC, in India

Soybean Resistance to Soybean Mosaic Virus [PDF]
Soybean mosaic virus (SMV) occurs in all soybean-growing areas in the world and causes huge losses in soybean yields and seed quality. During early viral infection, molecular interactions between SMV effector proteins and the soybean resistance (R) protein, if present, determine the development of resistance/disease in soybean plants.

The MLV-related retrovirus, XMRV, was recently identified and reported to be associated with both prostate cancer and chronic fatigue syndrome. At the National Cancer Institute-Frederick, MD (NCI-Frederick), we developed highly sensitive methods to ...

Mechanisms of resistance to viruses
Resistance associated with a hypersensitive response (HR) and subsequent development of necrotic lesions (cell death) at the sites of virus infection can restrict virus movement in plants. Genes for HR are dominant and act on a gene-for-gene basis.

Historical parallels, Ebola virus disease and cholera: understanding community distrust and social violence with epidemics [PDF]
In the three West African countries most affected by the recent Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak, resistance to public health measures contributed to the startling speed and persistence of this epidemic in the region.

Measuring Resistance to Virus Infection [PDF]
Dilution series of viruses often do not fit the exponential curve which they should fit if the usual assumptions of the theory of dilution series were true. Suppose the density of the virus suspension is λ, the average number of virus particles per unit volume of the inoculum (we suppose that unit volume is the amount actually used in inoculating the ...

The coevolution of plants and viruses: Resistance and pathogenicity [PDF]
Virus infection may damage the plant, and plant defenses are effective against viruses; thus, it is currently assumed that plants and viruses coevolve. However, and despite huge advances in understanding the mechanisms of pathogenicity and virulence in ...

Contact transmission of influenza virus between ferrets imposes a looser bottleneck than respiratory droplet transmission allowing propagation of antiviral resistance [PDF]
Influenza viruses cause annual seasonal epidemics and occasional pandemics. It is important to elucidate the stringency of bottlenecks during transmission to shed light on mechanisms that underlie the evolution and propagation of antigenic drift, host ...
