during the years 2007 and 2008, samples of winter jasmine (jasminum nudiflorum) with symptoms of galls on shoots were collected from shiraz, fars province, iran. gram and oxidase negative, aerobic bacterium that produced fluorescent pigment on kingۥs b medium was isolated from galls of infected trees. all isolates produced a hypersensitive reaction in tobacco. they were negative in arginine dih...

The phenotypic and genetic diversity of 77 isolates of Pyricularia grisea collected from two upland rice cultivars, Maravilha and Primavera, was studied. Isolates exhibiting compatible reaction to cv.Primavera were incompatible to cv.Maravilha and vice versa, with the exception of six isolates that were compatible to both cultivars. The virulence of isolates from cv. Maravilha on 32 test genoty...

Initiation of geminivirus DNA replication depends on the activity of the initiator protein (Rep) upon interaction with DNA sequences present in the intergenic region of the viral DNA. In this study, we have analyzed the DNA sequences present in the large intergenic region (LIR) of wheat dwarf virus (WDV), a subgroup I member of the geminivirus family, which are required for viral DNA replicatio...

A total of 62 Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from two hospitals in Siedlce (Poland) were studied by repetitive element based PCR (rep-PCR) using BOX primer. BOX-PCR results revealed the presence of 7 numerous genotypes and 31 unique patterns among isolates. Generally, the strains of P. aeruginosa were characterized by resistance to many antibiotics tested and by differences in serogrou...

nutritive value of rumen epithelial scraping (rep) was assessed using in sacco and in vivo procedures. concentrates were so formulated that 0% (a), 35% (b), 70% (c), and 100% (d) of soybean meal (sbm), were replaced (weight for weight) with rep. in a completely randomized design, 16 west african dwarf (wad) goats were randomly allocated to the experimental diets to assess feed intake and digest...

This study aimed to determine molecular patterns of Acinetobacter baumannii using a PCR-based technique with REP-1, REP-2 and M13 primers to distinguish the patients' strains and the environmental strains (condensate, endotracheal tube connector, bed rail and nurses hands). There were 67 cases of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) among 600 patients using mechanical ventilators in 10 wards f...
