Nuclear DNA flow cytometry was used to differentiate ploidy level and determine nuclear DNA content in Rubus. Nuclei suspensions were prepared from leaf discs of young leaves following published protocols with modifications. DNA was stained with propidium iodide. Measurement of fluorescence of 40 genotypes, whose published ploidy ranged from diploid to dodecaploid, indicated that fluorescence i...

Goal. To determine the resistance of blackberry varieties to low temperatures in field and laboratory conditions; select most resistant investigate influence weather conditions on state their overwintering. Methods. Laboratory, field, analytical. Results. Weather were monitored autumn–winter period 2019/20 2020/21. It was established that winter months these years differ significantly terms tem...

The aim of the present investigation was to investigate the nephro-protective activity of fruits extracts of Rubus ellipticus (Smith) at a dose of 200 mg/kg body weight on acetaminophen (APAP) induced naphro-toxicity in male albino rats. APAP significantly increased the levels of serum creatinine, serum urea, blood urea nitrogen and kidney weight while the volume of urine reduced. The pet.ether...

Rubus stunt, a disease associated with phytoplasma infections in wild and cultivated Rubus species, is a major challenge in the production of raspberries, blackberries, and loganberries. Phytoplasmas are cell wall-less bacteria inhabiting the phloem and are transferred by phloem feeding insects. As the time between infection of a plant and the development of disease symptoms can take up to 1 ye...

BACKGROUND Leucorrhea or vaginal discharge is a conventional complaint. It is generally whitish, yellowish, or greenish vaginal discharge in females that might be normal or a symptom of infection. It is almost mucus discharge, which exhibit exfoliation of vaginal epithelial cells due to estrogen influence on the vaginal mucosa. It is important to identify the differences between physiologic and...

Antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) are frequently used to enhance weight-gain in poultry production. However, there has been increasing concern over the impact of AGP on the emergence of antibiotic resistance in zoonotic bacterial pathogens in the microbial community of the poultry gut. In this study, we adopted mass-spectrophotometric, phylogenetic, and shotgun-metagenomic approaches to evalua...

Using a polyclonal antibody (P23) generated against the human platelet integrin aIIb beta3 and a FITC-conjugate secondary antibody, fluorescence is observed at the surface of protoplasts isolated from Arabidopsis thaliana and Rubus fruticosus. Arabidopsis thaliana cells grown in suspension culture containing P23 and glycylarginylglycylaspartylserine (GRGDS), a synthetic peptide containing the R...
