Assessment of disease suppression in organic transitional cropping systems
… lower the severity of soilborne/root-infecting diseases, a phenomenon known as organic matter mediated suppression. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of adding organic matter, through cropping systems (pasture, cash grain, vegetable) and direct organic amendments (cover crops …

Ecological assessments of Pseudomonas communities in pastoral soils: implications for disease suppression and sustainable production in agricultural grasslands
… and the recognised importance of soil-borne disease to pasture productivity, there has been little fundamental or applied research effort aimed at understanding or controlling the diverse and dynamic soil-borne pathogen complexes that develop under pasture. Soil-borne plant pathogens can be …

Sympatric Soil Microbe Interactions between Streptomyces and Fusarium Isolates
… fungi may play a critical role in occurrence of disease suppressive soils, yet our understanding of these interactions remains limited. <em>Streptomyces</em> are well-known producers of antimicrobial compounds important to medicine and agriculture. Production of these secondary metabolites is …

CD8+ T Cells Are Required for the Therapeutic Action of Glatiramer Acetate in Autoimmune Demyelinating Disease
… sclerosis (MS), an immune-mediated demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. Our group has previously shown that GA therapy induces CD8+ T cell responses responsible for suppression of CD4+ T cell responses in MS patients. Using a murine model of MS, experimental autoimmune …

The Role of Host, Environment, and Fungicide Use Patterns in Algorithms for Improving Control of Sclerotinia Blight of Peanut
An algorithm was developed for assessing disease risk and improving fungicide timing for control of Sclerotinia blight of peanut, caused by Sclerotinia minor. A 5-day index (FDI) of disease risk was calculated daily by multiplying indices of moisture, soil temperature, vine growth and canopy …

Autoregulatory CD8 T-Cells Modulate CNS Autoimmune Disease by Targeting Encephalitogenic CD4 T-Cells
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a disease, which presents with neurological dysfunction and is believed to have an immunological etiology. Lesions in the central nervous system (CNS) are characterized by an inflammatory cellular infiltration and demyelination of neuronal axons. It is believed that …

Molecular mechanisms of radiation-induced brain injury
… effective therapies to contribute to long-term disease suppression or even cure. Therefore,the primary goal of this research project was to determine the molecular mechanisms responsible for radiation-induced brain injury in normal tissues. In the first study, the effects of whole brain …
