in this study, genetic diversity of 20 wheat genotypes was evaluated using 126 simple sequence repeats (ssr) alleles, covering all three wheat genomes. a total of 1557 allelic variants were detected for 126 ssr loci. the number of alleles per locus ranged from 4 to 19 and the allelic polymorphism information content (pic) varied from 0.66 (xgwm429) to 0.94 (xgwm212 and xgwm515). the high­est po...

objective: to determine the diagnostic value of blood cells surface markers in patients with acute appendicitis. methods: in this cross-sectional study, 71 patients who underwent appendectomy following a diagnosis of appendicitis were recruited during a one-year period. the patients were divided into two groups: patients with histopathologically confirmed acute appendicitis and subjects with no...

conclusions combination of creatine monohydrate and exercise attenuated inflammation and endothelial dysfunction markers among heart failure patients. patients and methods one hundred patients were prospectively randomized into two groups: intervention group which received 5 grams/day creatine monohydrate and exercised for 8 weeks; and control group which did not receive any interventions. inte...

Objective(s): Mutations in the UGT1A1 gene are responsible for hyperbilirubinemia syndromes including Crigler-Najjar type 1 and 2 and Gilbert syndrome. In view of the genetic heterogeneity and involvement of large numbers of the disease causing mutations, the application of polymorphic markers in the UGTA1 gene could be useful in molecular diagnosis of the disease. Materials and Methods: In the...

the extracts of piper sarmentosum, a medicinal plant, are being used to prepare phytopharmaceuticals while the information about chemical kinetics of constituents of the extract is unavailable to assign precise shelf life (t90) and find optimum storage conditions of the product for patient safety, and to avoid economic repercussions of launching an unstable product. the extract was exposed to t...

Blast, Pyricularia grisea (Cooke) Sacc., is one of the most destructive diseases of rice worldwide and canresult in significant reductions in yield. The use of resistant cultivars is the most economical and effectiveway of controlling rice blast. A variety of DNA markers, including plant defense-related candidategene markers are available for genetic characterization and molec...

potato virus y (pvy) is one of the most important pathogenic agents that reduce the yield and quality of tobacco (nicotiana tabacum l.). dna-based molecular markers are valuable tools for identifying germplasm in gene banks, assessing kinship ties, and doing marker-assisted selection (mas) for resistance to pests, diseases, and some crop traits of interest. this work presents the results of ass...
