the use of healthy planting material is an important prerequisite for controlling destructive viral diseases in potato production. virus elimination methods such as meristem culture and thermotherapy are usually used to produce the nucleus stock of healthy planting material. here, we report a new technique of electrotherapy for elimination of two potyviruses, potato virus a (pva), and potato vi...

we report here a rare case of lateral ectopia of thyroid without orthotopic thyroid tissue in an indian teenager, who was referred to our department for a thyroid scintigraphy. technetium pertechnetate (99mtco4- ) scan showed uptake in laterally placed soft tissue structure along with functioning thyroid tissue in high anterior midline neck region in line with thyroglossal tract. there is no up...

marshmallow is a medicinal plant containing mucilage polysaccharides and various phenolic acids. boron (b) is an essential micronutrient whose necessity for plant growth and development has been attributed to its role in cell wall pectin network and maintenance of integrity and performance of membranes. the present study was aimed to investigate the effects of different concentrations of b (0.0...

in vitro propagation of plant has played a very important role in rapidmultiplication of cultivars with desirable traits and production of healthy and disease-free plants. in the present investigation, the objectives were to optimize the micropropagation of rose hybrid ‘black baccarat’ cultivar. in proliferation step, the nodal segments (1.5 cm) was cultured on both liquid and solid media (ms, ...

the diagnosis of celiac disease (cd) relies on the concordance of pathological, serological, genetic and clinical features. for this reason, the diagnosis of cd is often a challenge. seronegative celiac disease (sncd) is defined by the negativity of anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies in the presence of a positive histology on duodenal biopsy samples, i. e. inflammatory infiltrate of intra-...
