A brief analysis on the distribution range of some of the species dominating in the arid and extra arid regions of North Africa and Arabian Peninsula is presented. These species are belonging to three phytogeographical categories namely: Saharo-Sindian, Sudano-Deccanian and Tropical African-Indian elements. Species included for this study are either disjunct or they have a wider distribution, s...

PURPOSE The human Cytochrome P450 gene CYP1B1 has been implicated in primary congenital glaucoma worldwide. The aim of this study was to understand the role of CYP1B1 mutations in causing primary congenital glaucoma in Indian populations. METHODS The study included 64 new and unrelated cases of primary congenital glaucoma from different ethnic groups of India. Direct sequencing screened the c...

To assess genetic diversity and maternal origin of Turkish and Iranian native chicken breeds, we analyzed the mtDNA D-loop sequences of 222 chickens from 2 Turkish (Denizli and Gerze) and 7 Iranian (White Marandi, Black Marandi, Naked Neck, Common Breed, Lari, West Azarbaijan, and New Hampshire) native chicken breeds, together with the available reference sequences of G. gallus gallus in GenBan...

lf as the grammatical locus of semantic interpretation in minimalism implies that lf is the only level at which any structural condition can be checked. accordingly, cross over effects provides some evidence for the existence of lf. to provide further evidence for the universality of cross over effects at lf, a comparative research between persian-english, turkish-english and persian-turkish ha...

Gravestones, which fall into the material dimension of cultures, are very important cultural objects. They monuments that give information about world to they belong, with their shapes and some symbols engraved on them, rather than objects erected graves materially. Especially for old Turkish world, does not leave much in terms written sources, tombstones, bearing traces traditions, first-hand ...

On average 1–2 tropical cyclones form over the Arabian Sea each year, and few of these storms are intense enough to be classified as very severe or super cyclonic storms. As such, few studies have explicitly identified the seasonal to interannual changes in environmental conditions that are associated with Arabian Sea tropical cyclogenesis. However, over the last 30 yr several intense Arabian s...

Magmatism these belts result of convergence, collision post-collision evolution Arabian plate with Eurasian margin. An exhaustive study including whole-rock major, trace element, radiogenic isotope (Sr, Nd, Pb) dat...

background: the main goal of this study was to conduct a comparative population genetic study of turkish speaking iranian azeris as being the biggest ethno-linguistic community, based on the polymorph markers on y chromosome.  methods: one hundred turkish-speaking azeri males from north-west iran (tabriz, 2008-2009) were selected based on living 3 generations paternally in the same region and n...

In this study, the genetic diversity of three milk protein genes namely beta-casein, kappacasein and beta-lactoglobulin was estimated in Turkish cattle breeds. Based on these genes, breeds in Turkey have been grouped as: 1) Eastern Anatolian Red, Anatolian Black and Southern Anatolian Red and 2) Turkish Grey, Turkish Holstein and Holstein Candidate Bulls. B alleles of the three studied genes, w...
