In this study, RAPD (Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNA) and SCAR (Sequence Amplified Characterized Region) markers found within 5 centiMorgans of known disease resistance loci in L. sativa were tested for their potential use in MAS. Out of thirty RAPD and SCAR markers evaluated, ten were found to be reliable predictors of disease resistance or susceptibility across a wide range of commercial and reference cultivars. Direct sequencing of seven selected markers did not reveal any significant similarity with known sequences. Three SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) associated with two

Abstract:

The presence of insect pests in grain storages throughout the supply chain is a significant problem for farmers, grain handlers, and distributors world-wide. Insect monitoring and sampling programmes are used in the stored grains industry for the detection and estimation of pest populations. At the low pest densities dictated by economic and commercial requirements, the accuracy of both detection and abundance estimates can be influenced by variations in the spatial structure of pest populations over short distances. Geostatistical analysis of Rhyzopertha dominica populations in 2 and 3 dimens

Abstract:

Quite a number of important crops have been genetically modified with genes for agronomically important traits, such as insect and viral resistance. As the numbers of genetically modified foods continue to increase on the market, the need for rapid development of GMO detection methods is indispensable. This study was carried out to detect if genetically modified potatoes exist on food market in Turkey. Thirty samples from different places were collected. Using a DNA based PCR method, potato samples were examined for the presence of 35S promoter, Nos terminator, neomycin phosphotransferase

Abstract:

Plant biosecurity requires statistical tools to interpret field surveillance data in order to manage pest incursions that threaten crop production and trade. Ultimately, management decisions need to be based on the probability that an area is infested or free of a pest. Current informal approaches to delimiting pest extent rely upon expert ecological interpretation of presence / absence data over space and time. Hierarchical Bayesian models provide a cohesive statistical framework that can formally integrate the available information on both pest ecology and data. The overarching method involv

Abstract:

Bacterial blight of barley, caused by the bacterium Xanthomonas translucens, occurs sporadically in Arizona in sprinkler-irrigated barley. The pathogen is seed borne, and there are no resistant varieties of barley. Bacterial blight has been severe when contaminated seed is planted and favorable weather conditions, including spring rains and late frosts, occur in March and April. Methods for detection of the bacteria on seed have been established at The University of Arizona using both standard pathogenicity trials on barley seedlings and immunoassay techniques.

Nepovirus detection in in vitro plants (plantlets) was affected by virus distribution and growth room temperature. The reliability of virus detection in field-grown grapevines was improved when modified grinding buffers were used.

Ultimately, reliable quantification could help to better understand the role of DA in human brain conditions.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia worldwide.

In recent years, the appearance of in vivo biomarkers capable to track biological changes has boosted the research interest to earlier phases of the disease. With these concepts in mind, the general objective of this thesis was to investigate Aβ deposition and its downstream effects in the earliest stages of the Alzheimer's continuum.

Therefore, a more accurate method for sorting infested fruit at the packhouse, particularly for newly infested fruit could ensure market access.

Abstract:

The simultaneous integration of positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) promises to combine superior functional and anatomical information into a single examination, but poses a number of engineering challenges. In particular, the development of MRI-compatible photodetectors is a key issue to realize PET/MRI at its best. In 2009, a novel photodetector, the so-called digital SiPM, was presented. The digital SiPM combines an array of Geiger-mode photodiodes with a direct digital readout and timestamper on a single silicon die. Its high integration and expected imm

Thesis (MSc)--Stellenbosch University, 2012.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Grapevine leafroll-associated virus 3 (GLRaV-3) is the type member of the genus Ampelovirus in the family Closteroviridae and is considered to be the main contributing agent of grapevine leafroll disease (GLD) worldwide. A metagenomic sequencing study of a grapevine leafroll-diseased vineyard led to the discovery of a new variant of GLRaV-3 in South Africa. This new variant was most related to a New Zealand isolate, NZ-1. In this study, we sequenced two isolates, GH11 and GH30, of the new variant group of GLRaV-3. These isolates

Abstract:

The introduction of clinical Positron Emission Tomography (PET) in oncology in the 1990s has substantially changed the management of patients with cancer and become one of the diagnostic modalities with the fastest growth worldwide (Buck et al., 2010). The major hurdle delaying the proliferation of PET was partly due to its high initial investment and insufficient third-party reimbursement (Keppler & Conti, 2001). Hong Kong, a region with about half the economic strength of Germany, was able to sustain a higher ratio of PET-CT scanners than that of Germany. Through the study of the PET utiliza
