Phytophthora infestans, the causal agent of late blight disease, has been reported in North America since the mid-nineteenth century.In the United States the lack of or very limited sexual reproduction has resulted in largely clonal populations of P.infestans.In 2010 and 2011, but not in 2012 or 2013, 20 rare and diverse genotypes of P.infestans we
Timely diagnosis of persistent neonatal hypoglycemia is critical to prevent neurological sequelae, but diagnosis is complicated by the heterogenicity of the causes.We discuss two cases at separate institutions in which clinical management was fundamentally altered by the results of molecular genetic testing.In both patients, critical samples demons
Selective breeding has been successfully applied to improve profitability and sustainability in numerous aquatic species.Recent developments of high throughput genotyping technology now enable the implementation of Shoulder Tote Bag genomic selection, a method aiming to predict the breeding value of candidates based on their genotype at genome-wide
A glue stick is comprised of solidified adhesive mounted in a lipstick-like push-up tube.Whey is a byproduct of cheese making.Direct disposal of whey can cause environmental pollution.The objective of this study was to use whey protein isolate (WPI) as a natural polymer along with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) to develop safe glue sticks.Pre-dissolved
