Down-regulation of Fusarium oxysporum endogenous genes by Host-Delivered RNA interference enhances disease resistance

Fusarium oxysporum is a devastating pathogen causing extensive yield losses in a variety of crops and development of sustainable, environmentally friendly methods to improve crop resistance is crucial.We have used Host-Derived RNA interference (HD-RNAi) technology to partially silence three different genes (FOW2, FRP1 and OPR) in the hemi-biotrophi

Does Exposure to Analgesics in Utero Cause Schizophrenia?

The cause of schizophrenia, a serious mental illness characterized by hallucinations, delusions and a marked deterioration in social functioning, is an enigma that continues to perplex the scientific community.While we know that approximately 80% of the risk of developing schizophrenia is conferred by genes (1), no research group has yet located a

The O(N) S-matrix monolith

Abstract We consider the scattering matrices of massive quantum field theories with no bound states and a global MSM CREAM O(N) symmetry in two spacetime dimensions.In particular we explore the space of two-to-two S-matrices of particles of mass m transforming in the vector representation as restricted by the general conditions of unitarity, crossi
