GENETIC RESOURCES AND SELECTED CONSERVATION METHODS OF TOMATO

Genetic resources and selected conservation methods of tomato

Tomato is one of the most popular vegetable crops.However, over time, the species has suffered a strong genetic diversity reduction and domestication bottlenecking.This growing trend is known as the genetic erosion.The human intervention on the genetic erosion intensification is high and has severe implications on the future programmes of managemen

Comparative transcriptomics of Gymnosporangium spp. teliospores reveals a conserved genetic program at this specific stage of the rust fungal life cycle

Abstract Background Gymnosporangium spp.are fungal plant pathogens causing rust disease and most of them are known to infect two different host plants (heteroecious) with four spore stages (demicyclic).In the present study, we sequenced the transcriptome of G.japonicum teliospores on its host plant Juniperus chinensis and we performed comparison to

Cyclic Loading Test Conducted on the Bottom Joints of a Hybrid Precast Utility Tunnel Composed of Double-Skin Sidewalls and a Precast Bottom Slab

Four full-scale specimens were constructed, including two hybrid precast specimens with a haunch (height: 150 mm, PUT-H) and without a haunch (PUT).Additionally, two cast-in-place (CIP) comparative specimens (referred to as RUT-H and RUT) were included, all of which underwent reversed cyclic loading.The results showed Mouthpiece that the four speci
