introduction: to protect genomes of all organisms from internal and external damages and maintain the genome integrity and the continuity of life, repair system has been developed in all living cells. defects in repair system are responsible for various kinds of disease including cancers and neurodegenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis (ms). the relationship between various components ...

morphological and rapd markers were used to investigate the genetic diversity among 21 accessions of pomegranate originating from south eastern tunisia. thirteen morphological traits were studied and results showed significant differences for all morphological characters (p< 0.001). clustering based on fruit traits, using ward’s method, divided the accessions into three main groups. in rapd ana...

association analysis is a useful method for evaluation of significant association between molecular marker and phenotype of trait. this study was performed to evaluate association between traits related with powdery mildew resistance and molecular markers. this investigation was performed using 77 barley genotypes and aflp markers. in phenotypic evaluation, reaction of seedlings to powdery mild...

prophet of pou1f1 (prop1) plays direct or indirect important roles in the morphogenesis of pituitary gonadotropes as well as lactotropes, somatotropes and caudomedial thyrotropes. it also controls the expression of growth hormone, prolactin and thyrotropin subunits through regulatory pit1 factor. these hormones have important influences on production traits in most animal species including the ...

the solubility of kno3 in the mixed solvent (water 85%+methanol 15%) were determined by using solvent evaporating method at different temperatures (25, 30, 40, 50, 60 ;c). in addition the equilibrium constant of ion pair formation, kip, for k+no3 – ion-pair on the basis of fuoss contact ion pair model was calculated. upon choosing the extended debye-hückel model for estimating the mean activity...

introduction: a thyroid nodule is a palpable swelling in a thyroid gland with an otherwise normal appearance. palpable thyroid nodules occur in 4 to 7 percent of the population. nodular thyroid diseases are more frequent in women than in men. most actions of thyroid hormone are mediated by the active form of thyroid hormone. d2 is essential for formation of active hormone of t3 through deiodina...

the flowering and fructification period of the chilean strawberry (fragaria chiloensis (l.) duch.) is restricted to approximately 2 mo, which seriously limits the commercial development of the species. the objective of the current investigation was to identify inter simple sequence repeat (issr) polymorphisms associated with flowering duration in accessions of f. chiloensis. the flowering durat...

the enormous growth of the world wide web in recent years has made it necessary to perform resource discovery efficiently. for a crawler it is not an simple task to download the domain specific web pages. this unfocused approach often shows undesired results. therefore, several new ideas have been proposed, among them a key technique is focused crawling which is able to crawl particular topical...

in the current study, the information on occurrence, distribution and host aphid-plant associations for the species of praon haliday in iran are presented. eight species of praon were found in the areas under study, which include four previously reported species, viz. praon absinthi bignell, praon barbatum mackauer, praon exsoletum (nees) and praon volucre (haliday), and four new records, praon...
