An advanced insight into characterizing stripe rust progress curves is required to improve accuracy and efficiency of future research for disease measurement and estimation purposes.The rate of stripe rust increase in wheat crops is highly variable, resulting in variations and uncertainties in evaluating disease progress over time.This variability
Conceptualization, measurement and effects of positional issues in the Canadian electoral context
It is a well-known fact that the major Canadian political parties now use political marketing tools to segment the electorate and target specific groups of voters.Positional issues are at the centre of this type of micro-targeting strategy.This article demonstrates that positional issues played a greater role GARLIC-ALLICIN in Canadian electoral po

Transcript Profiles of Blumeria graminis Development During Infection Reveal a Cluster of Genes That Are Potential Virulence Determinants
High-density cDNA microarrays (2,027 unigenes) were used to analyze transcript profiles of the plant-pathogenic fungus Blumeria graminis f.sp.hordei throughout its asexual life cycle and development of infection.RNA was obtained from four stages preceding penetration and four stages after penetration of the host cells.The microarray data was valida
