Despite complex regional patterns of projected climate change, significant decreases in food crop yields have been predicted using the ‘worst case’ CO 2 emission scenario (A1FI) Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Overall, change is to a progressively negative effect yield crops, particularly absence efforts mitigate global emissions. As with all species, plant pathogens will varying responses change. Whilst life cycle some be limited by increasing temperatures, e.g. Puccinia...
Current atmospheric CO2 levels are about 400 μmol mol(-1) and predicted to rise 650 later this century. Although the positive negative impacts of on plants well documented, little is known interactions with pests diseases. If disease severity increases under future environmental conditions, then it becomes imperative understand pathogens crop production in order minimize losses maximize food production. Barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) adversely affects yield quality economically important...
Abstract The fourth assessment report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change projects rising levels greenhouse gas and global temperature. well-known dependence plant diseases weather has long been exploited for predicting epidemics to time applications control measures tactical disease management. Fingerprints inter-annual climatic variation pathogens have recently shown in literature linking pathogen abundance atmospheric composition. Past reviews dealt with impacts changing...
Abstract Atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) concentration has increased significantly and is projected to double by 2100. To increase current food production levels, understanding how pests diseases respond future climate driven increasing CO imperative. We investigated the effects of elevated (eCO on interactions among wheat (cv. Yitpi), Barley yellow dwarf virus an important pest vector, bird cherry-oat aphid ( Rhopalosiphum padi ), examining life history, feeding behavior plant physiology...
Problem Intra‐amniotic infection is the most common cause of preterm labor. Infections are thought to labor by increasing production proinflammatory cytokines at maternal–fetal interface. Experiments with cell culture and animal models have indicated that bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) increases in reproductive tissues. The majority intrauterine infections, however, associated Ureaplasma urealyticum , which does not contain LPS. Therefore, we performed a series experiments understand...
A virus disease of faba bean (Vicia L.) in China, characterized by leaf yellowing and rolling plant stunting, was shown to be caused a the genus Nanovirus based on serological reactions nanovirus-specific monoclonal antibodies generation polymerase chain reaction amplicons using primers. To identify bean-infecting nanovirus, regions DNA components encoding master replication initiator protein capsid two nanovirus isolates from China were cloned, sequenced compared with those other members...
Yellow dwarf viruses (YDVs) form a complex of economically important pathogens that affect cereal production worldwide, reducing yield and quality. The prevalence incidence YDVs including barley yellow (BYDV-PAV BYDV-MAV) virus (CYDV-RPV) in fields Victoria, Australia were measured. As temperature decreases rainfall increases from north to south three geographical regions evaluated determine potential differences across the weather gradient. Cereal samples randomly collected each field...
Mycoplasma hominis is one of the most common pathogens genital tract and associated with increased production proinflammatory cytokines in reproductive tissues during preterm labor. The mechanism by which M. hominis, an organism lacking cell walls, increases unknown.We characterized purified a macrophage-activating factor from this organism.Extraction whole organisms Triton-X-114 demonstrated that activity was primarily detergent phase. Macrophage-stimulating (MSA) extracts not inhibited...
An AMF infectivity study and spore viability assessment was performed on substrata obtained from gold uranium mine tailings dumps ('slimes dams') in the North West Free State provinces of South Africa. Three slimes dams each region were categorized as recently vegetated (RV), old (OV) never (NV), then divided into five zones based elevation above ground level, steepness broad chemical differences. Rhizosphere samples collected two three plant species common to all sites; Eragrostis curvula,...
Coding-complete sequences of two barley virus G isolates from Australia were obtained a 34-year-old oat sample (isolate Aus8) and 1-year-old Aus17N). The Aus8 Aus17N share 96.3% nucleotide identity with each other 95.7 to 95.8% the South Korean isolate Uiseong.
