Idiots in Indonesia burned our Jalur Gemilang and they threw shits to our embassy!! Last year these idiots set up road blocks to 'sumpit' any passing Malaysian!! I had enough of this madness. I expect our government to be more FIRM and STRINGENT!!
I think comment from this minister is a slap in our face.Our grandfathers and grandmothers fought with their life for our Independence!!
Actions need to be taken. We give them jobs and supports but it seems they don't really appreciate what we have done for them....
It's time for all of them to retire! All of you have done enough for our beloved state but what we need right now is not an old school politicians. We need somebody who can bring Perlis forward.
For so long Perlis has been held ransom by old school politicians. Dare to change if you want to see the world!!
Detection, control and resistance expression in oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) of vascular wilt disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. elaeidis
Vascular wilt disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. elaeidis (Foe) invades the host xylem and causes a devastating disease of oil palm in West and Central Africa and parts of South America. Nevertheless, this disease has not been reportedin South East Asia, in spite of long term importation for breeding purposes of African seed and pollen, now known to be contaminated with Foe. Malaysia is the largest palm oil producer in the world and Foe remains a major threat to this industry. Therefore, this study is being conducted in order to help Malaysia avoid and/or be prepared for this potential problem. Molecular diagnostic tools are being developed for rapid detection and quantification of Foe in diseased plant tissue, soil, seed and pollen. These tools can be used for quarantine purposes of any imported materials and to test infection of putative resistant palm genotypes. However, it is not simple to develop the molecular diagnostic tools for this disease, as Fusarium is a very complex genus. Recent phylogenetic studies reported many sections of Fusarium that based on their shared anamorphic features are non-monophyletic as expected (O’Donnell, 1996). In general, when a Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. consisted of several clonal lineages, these lineage are not monophyletic (Michielse and Rep, 2009). A f.sp. is often assumed to have a single common ancestor from which all vegetative compatibility groups (VCGs) (monophyly). However, multiple VCGs and races within a given f.sp. could have multiple independent origins, with pathogenicity and virulence evolving more than once through mutation or transposition or spreading to distantly related strains through parasexuality or horizontal gene transfer (Baayen et al., 2000).Thus, it is difficult to design specific primers to identify F. oxysporum species complex as they may share high DNA sequence similarity in the aligned region. Nevertheless, we have managed to develop F. oxysporum specific primers using translation elongation factor 1-α (TEF) gene which only amplified F.oxysporum and excluded other Fusarium species which are closely related within the Section Elegans and through other phylogentic studies.
