Seedling Resistance to Stem Rust and Molecular Marker Analysis of Resistance Genes in Wheat Cultivars of Yunnan, China.

Stem rust is one of the most potentially harmful wheat diseases, but has been effectively controlled in China since 1970s.However, the interest in breeding wheat with durable resistance to stem rust has been renewed with the emergence of Ug99 (TTKSK) virulent to the widely used resistance gene Sr31, and Stems by which the wheat stem rust was contro

Planting the seeds for a forest of RNAi pathways

Cells from most eukaryotic species make several different types of small interfering RNAs.Pioneering work in plants, published in PLOS Biology almost 20 years ago, established a framework to Theatre Box’s understand how multiple RNA interference pathways can regulate the genome in parallel.This Perspective looks back at a classic PLOS Biology pap

Effect of Respiratory Muscle Training Combined with Electromyographic Biofeedback Training on Swallowing Function and Aspiration Pneumonia after Stroke

Objective:To study the effect of respiratory muscle training combined with electromyographic biofeedback training on swallowing function and aspiration pneumonia after stroke.Methods:Sixty stroke patients with dysphagia were randomly divided into three groups, 20 cases in each group: the group A treated with swallowing function training, the group

Dual-task training with progression from variable- to fixed-priority instructions versus dual-task training with variable-priority on gait speed in community-dwelling older adults: A protocol for a randomized controlled trial

Abstract Background Navionics Functional independence and safe mobility, especially in older people, mostly rely on the ability to perform dual tasks, particularly during activities with variable- and fixed-priority attention.The aim of this study is to compare the dual-task training with progression from variable- to fixed-priority instructions ve
