Abstract:
Cluster bean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba), also called guar, is a drought-tolerant annual legume. We conducted investigations to characterize a large dsRNA (~13-14 kbp) detected in a symptomless cluster bean genotype. The dsRNA was gel-purified and used for Illumina MiSeq sequencing. Reads were assembled, and BLASTx search results showed sequence similarity with viruses classified within the family Endornaviridae. The complete sequence of the putative endornavirus consisted of 12,895 nt and contained an open reading frame which coded for a polyprotein of 4,207 aa with conserved domains for methyltransferase, helicase, and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase. The virus was named cluster bean endornavirus 1 (CBEV-1). A BLASTx search using the polyprotein sequence showed that the closest endornavirus to CBEV-1 was Hordeum vulgare endornavirus.

Cluster Sampling Method
To choose a cluster sample, divide the population into clusters (groups) and then randomly select some of the clusters. All the members from these clusters are in the cluster sample. For example, if you randomly sample four departments from your...

Cyclic Processes And Isolated Systems
In the case of a non-isolated system, the change in the internal energy is zero only if the process is cyclic. A thermodynamic process is considered cyclic if the system undergoes a series of changes and returns to its initial state.
Consider a cyclic process that returns to its initial state, undergoing a four-step process. The heat transfer along each...
