Precisely mapping a major gene conferring resistance to Hessian fly in bread wheat using genotyping-by-sequencing
(BioMed Central, 2015-02-15)Background: One of the reasons hard red winter wheat cultivar 'Duster' (PI 644016) is widely grown in the southern Great Plains is that it confers a consistently high level of resistance to biotype GP of Hessian fly (Hf). ... -
Predator-induced changes of female mating preferences: Innate and experiential effects
(BioMed Central, 2011-07-04)Background: In many species males face a higher predation risk than females because males display elaborate traits that evolved under sexual selection, which may attract not only females but also predators. Females are, ... -
Predicting genome-scale Arabidopsis-Pseudomonas syringae interactome using domain and interolog-based approaches
(BioMed Central, 2014-10-21)Background: Every year pathogenic organisms cause billions of dollars' worth damage to crops and livestock. In agriculture, study of plant-microbe interactions is demanding a special attention to develop management strategies ... -
Predicting key malaria transmission factors, biting and entomological inoculation rates, using modelled soil moisture in Kenya
(Wiley, 1998-10)While malaria transmission varies seasonally, large inter-annual heterogeneity of malaria incidence occurs. Variability in entomological parameters, biting rates and entomological inoculation rates (EIR) have been strongly ... -
Predicting maternal auxin-signaling networks for seed dormancy regulation in Arabidopsis
(2021-06-21)Auxin, like ABA, promotes seed dormancy, but how auxin promotes seed dormancy is not well understood. In studying seed dormancy regulation, we found that AUXIN SIGNALING F-BOX PROTEIN 1 (AFB1) and 5 maternally promoted ... -
Predicting the onset of alcohol use and the development of alcohol use disorder among Indigenous adolescents
(Wiley, 2016-05)Empirical efforts to identify the predictors of drinking behavior among North American Indigenous adolescents are relatively limited. Using longitudinal data, this study considers perceived discrimination, positive drinker ... -
Preliminary investigation on the cost reduction potential of optimizing bore fields for commercial ground source heat pump systems
(Stanford Geothermal Program, 2020-02-10)The high initial cost of ground heat exchangers (GHE) is a primary hurdle preventing wider adoption of ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems. GHEs used for commercial GSHP systems commonly consist of vertical boreholes ... -
Preliminary study of illumination levels in university and elementary classrooms in Campina Grande, Brazil
(Science Publications, 2007)The purpose of our study was to provide preliminary data on light levels used in university and elementary school classrooms in Campina Grande, Brazil with the aim of providing Brazilian politicians and educators with data ... -
Preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of B-carbonic anhydrase psCA3 from Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(International Union of Crystallography, 2013)Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative bacterium that causes life-threatening infections in susceptible individuals and is resistant to most clinically available antimicrobials. Genomic and proteomic studies have ... -
Presence of a substrate strengthens the jet generated by upside-down jellyfish
(Frontiers, 2022-05-12)Upside-down jellyfish, Cassiopea, are prevalent in warm and shallow parts of the oceans throughout the world. They are unique among jellyfish in that they rest upside down against the substrate and extend their oral arms ... -
Presence of common antigens, including major surface protein epitopes, between the cattle (intraerythrocytic) and tick stages of Anaplasma marginale
(American Society for Microbiology, 1985-12)Epitopes of major surface proteins of the intraerythrocytic cattle stage of Anaplasma marginale were demonstrated in the midgut stage of the organism within the infective tick host Dermacentor andersoni. These proteins ... -
Prevalence and correlates of physical dating violence among North American Indigenous adolescents
(SAGE Publications, 2017-04)This study examined the lifetime prevalence of physical dating violence, including victimization, perpetration, and the overlap between the two (mutual violence), among a population sample of 551 reservation/reserve residing ... -
Prevalence and genotypes of Anaplasma species and habitat suitability for ticks in a Mediterranean ecosystem
(American Society for Microbiology, 2008-12)Anaplasma species are tick-transmitted pathogens that impact veterinary and human health. Sicily is one of the locations where these pathogens are endemic. Sicily represents a typical Mediterranean ecosystem to study ... -
Prevalence of Babesia spp., Ehrlichia spp., and tick infestations in Oklahoma black bears (Ursus americanus)
(Wildlife Disease Association, 2017-10)American black bears (Ursus americanus) are commonly infested with ticks throughout their range, but there are few surveys for tick-borne disease agents in bears. To characterize tick infestations and determine the prevalence ... -
Prevalence of Escherichia coli O157 in cattle feeds in Midwestern feedlots
(American Society for Microbiology, 2003-09)Comparisons of enrichment methods (with or without antibiotics and with or without a preenrichment step) using gram-negative (GN) broth or tryptic soy broth (TSB) were conducted with feeds inoculated with Escherichia coli ... -
Prevalence of mental disorders from adolescence through early adulthood in American Indian and First Nations communities
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2021)Indigenous communities lack representation in psychiatric epidemiology despite disproportionate exposure to risk factors. We document the cumulative and 12-month prevalence of psychiatric disorders across the early life ... -
Price survey comparison of alcoholic beverages with the five basic food groups in Paraiba, Brazil
(Science Publications, 2006)The study of alcohol abuse is relatively new in Brazil. Government estimates suggest that 11.2% of the Brazilian population is alcohol dependent. Problems associated with alcohol dependence include domestic violence, ... -
Primer modification improves rapid and sensitive in vitro and field-deployable assays for detection of High plains virus variants
(American Society for Microbiology, 2014-01)A high consequence pathogen, High plains virus (HPV) causes considerable damage to wheat if the crop is infected during early stages of development. Methods for the early, accurate, and sensitive detection of HPV in plant ... -
Prior blood feeding effects on susceptibility of Anopheles gambiae (Diptera: Culicidae) to infection with cultured Plasmodium falciparum (Haemosporida: Plasmodiidae)
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 1994)We examined the relative susceptibilities of Anopheles gambiae Giles of different physiological ages to infection with cultured Plasmodium falciparum (Welch). Cohorts of mosquitoes were divided into three groups; one was ... -
