Recent molecular phylogenetic studies of polyploid plants have successfully clarified complex patterns of reticulate evolution. In this study of Elymus repens, an allohexaploid member of the wheat tribe Triticeae, chloroplast and nuclear DNA data reveal an extreme reticulate pattern, revealing at least five distinct gene lineages coexisting within the species, acquired through a possible combin...

Dowling-Degos disease is one of the genodermatoses presenting with acquired reticulate pigmentation flexures, black-dot papules, and pitted scars. Numerous associated conditions multiple variants have been reported in literature. Several gene mutations play a role pathogenesis giving rise to phenotypic expressions. Herein, we discuss case three generations family affected shed light on associat...

This paper offers the first taxonomic assessment of morphological and anatomical characters seeds 11 Hyacinthella taxa from Turkey, ten them are endemic, with cluster analysis principal component analysis. Macro-morphologically, all studied species can be differentiated each other by seed such as shape, size surface ornamentation. The separated into 5 shapes; triangularis, circularis, ellipticu...

Nekam's disease is a rare dermatosis characterized by a distinctive seborrheic dermatitis with prominent facial eruption.  It is further associated with violaceous, papular, and/or nodular lesions on the extremities and trunk, typically arranged in a linear and reticulate pattern.  Herein, describe a patient with Nekam's disease, which resembled Darier’s disease in clinical manifestation.  The ...
