Canids are reservoir for some zoonoses helminthic disease. They are one of main public health problem. Theaim of this study was to ascertain frequency of gastrointestinal helminthic infection of stray dogs in Zabol city,southeaster of Iran. In this descriptive study, 30 stray dogs were euthanized, intestine was removed by necropsy.Then, the intestines was opened by scalpel and their contents pa...

Coleus scutellarioides (L.) Benth. is a very popular ornamental plant with attractive colorful foliage and also has several medicinal properties. A detailed cytogenetical study was conducted in the ‘Red Trailing Queen’ horticultural form of this species. Hitherto, elaborate cytogenetic studies species received less attention all previous on chromosomes are decades old. Thus, reassessment necess...

Genetic variation in Jatropha curcas, a prospective biodiesel plant, is limited, and interspecific hybridization needed for its genetic improvement. Progeny from interspecific crosses between J. curcas and Jatropha integerrima can be used to improve agronomic characters and to increase oil content and yield. However, these hybrids have not been characterized cytologically. The present study was...

although the persian sturgeon, acipenser persicus , is a commercially valuable sturgeon species of the caspian sea, but there are only few reports about its parasite fauna in the southern part of the caspian sea. in this study, a total of 209 individuals of persian sturgeon were collected from two regions in the southwestern of caspian sea (guilan province, iran) from march 2009 to may 2011. af...

Cytoplasmic genic male sterility (CGMS) is a system that uses the maternal line for hybrid production, ensuring no obscurity of F1 seed purity and reducing cost production. Identification gene important plant improvement classification when using molecular marker-assisted selection (MAS) method. This study aimed to produce new (A-line) its maintainer (B-line) by transferring male-sterile from a...

In 2005, we reported the infection status of 438 stray cats with various species of intestinal helminths, including nematodes (4 species), trematodes (23 species), and cestodes (5 species) in the Republic of Korea. However, morphologic details of each helminth species have not been provided. In the present study, we intended to describe morphologic details of 13 trematode species which were eit...

Genic male sterility (GMS) has great potential for heterosis exploitation in sesame (Sesamum indicum L.). Two spontaneous male-sterile plants were discovered in a Chinese sesame cultivar (Zhuzhi 4) in 2006. By consecutive sib mating with fertile plants from Zhuzhi 4, a new sterile line, D248A, was developed. Anatomy studies showed that D248A has thin, small and greenish anthers on which there a...

BACKGROUND To determine the prevalence and intensity of helminths and their zoonotic importance in small rodents inhabiting in the suburban areas of Hamadan City, Iran. METHODS The present survey was conducted on the helminth infections of two species of rodents Apodemus sylvaticus (n=60) and Mus musculus(n=72) in the suburban areas of Hamadan City during 2010-2012. Rodents were collected and...

A factorial combination of pretreatments, fixatives, and stains was examined to identify the best available method for staining the chromosomes of strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch. ‘Chandler’) root-tip cells. Three pretreatments ( a -bromonaphthalene, p -dichlorobenzene, and 8-hydroxyquinoline), three fixatives (Farmer’s fluid, Carnoy’s fluid, and Newcomer’s fluid), and five stains (acetoca...
