Southern leaf blight (SLB) is one of the major diseases that cause substantial yield losses in maize (Zea mays L.) worldwide. Stacking broad-spectrum resistance genes/QTLs into prevalent cultivars prerequisite for durable disease breeding programme. Therefore, a study was carried at research farm and molecular biology laboratory School Agricultural Biotechnology, Punjab University, Ludhiana, du...

objective(s): the aim of this study was to investigate the methylation status and mrna expression levels of p15, death-associated protein kinase (dapk), and suppressor of cytokine signaling-1 (socs1) genes in multiple myeloma (mm). materials and methods: the bone marrow samples of 54 mm patients were collected and the methylation status of the p15, dapk, and socs1 gene promoter regions was dete...

conclusions some results of the correlation coefficients are not the same with visualization. the reason may be due to the small number of data. materials and methods in the foundation-application study, we constructed two-way gene networks using nonparametric methods, such as spearman’s rank correlation coefficient and blomqvist’s measure, and compared them with pearson’s correlation coefficie...

Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a devastating wheat disease with significant economic impact. Fhb5 an important quantitative trait loci (QTL) conferring type I resistance to FHB. In this study, we accessed the usability of Kompetitive allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (KASP) marker for QTL on Fhb-5AS. The KASP clustering results were compared linked simple sequence repeat marker, wmc705 Q...

Quantitative resistance has gained interest in plant breeding for pathogen control in low-input cropping systems. Although quantitative resistance frequently has only a partial effect and is difficult to select, it is considered more durable than major resistance (R) genes. With the exponential development of molecular markers over the past 20 years, resistance QTL have been more accurately det...
