Deployment of cultivars with genetic resistance is an effective approach to control the diseases of powdery mildew (PM) and yellow rust (YR).Chinese wheat cultivar XK0106 exhibits high levels of resistance to both diseases, while cultivar E07901 Mailbox has partial, adult plant resistance (APR).The aim of this study was to map resistance loci deriv
This study explored the relationships between the existence of and length of time since Mailbox implementation of school-based Gay-Straight Alliances (GSAs) and explicit anti-homophobic bullying policies in secondary schools across British Columbia, Canada, with experiences of anti-gay discrimination, suicidal ideation and attempts among lesbian, g
Many plant pathogenic bacteria suppress host defenses by secreting small molecule toxins or immune-suppressing proteins into host cells, processes that likely require close physical contact between pathogen and host.Yet, in most cases, little is known about whether phytopathogenic bacteria physically attach to host surfaces during infection.Here we
Encapsulation is essential for mechanically flexible and electrically active implants as it protects them from the harsh environment inside the body.Since the performance and longevity of implants depends on the quality of encapsulation, research continues into new and better encapsulation strategies.Chemical vapour deposition can be used to deposi
The OECD principles of Corporate Governance (CG) are the most important public policy mechanisms that assist regulators to efficiently evaluate and improve the institutional, regulatory and legal framework for sound CG.Consequently, the primary objective of this study is to assess the level of practical compliance with the OECD principle of CG by t
