Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common malignancies in men with approximately 0.9 million newly diagnosed cases and 0.26 million deaths in 2008 worldwide (Jemal et al., 2011). Until now, the exact carcinogenic mechanism of prostate cancer has remained unclear (Mahmoud et al., 2014). It is widely accepted that carcinogenesis of prostate cancer is affected by genetic susceptibility and e...

grape vine is one of the important horticultural crops with unique standing as regards use and consumption. the fruit is utilized from immature to ripened state and as raisins. its leaves can be used when they are soft and fresh. therefore it is necessary to improve iranian grapevine quality as well as quantity. the main purpose of this study was the use of phenyl phetalamic acid (ppa) to incre...

Spatial relationships among the transmembrane (TM) segments of alpha- and beta-subunits of the Na,K-ATPase molecule have been investigated using oxidative induction of disulfide bonds. The catalytic alpha-subunit contains 10 TM alpha-helices (H1-H10) with 9 Cys residues located within or close to the membrane moiety. There is one Cys residue in the single TM segment of beta-subunit (Hbeta). Pre...

To investigate Fe deficiency tolerance in tomato cultivars, quantification of proteins and genes involved in Fe metabolism and antioxidant mechanisms were performed in "Roggusanmaru" and "Super Doterang". Fe deficiency (Moderate, low and -Fe) significantly decreased the biomass, total, and apoplastic Fe concentration of "Roggusanmaru", while a slight variation was observed in "Super Doterang" c...

1. The fungus-gardening ants and their fungi represent a highly co-evolved, vertically transmitted mutualism. Mutualisms such as these are thought to be reciprocal antagonisms, so that the ants and the fungus can be expected to have some conflicting interests. 2. This paper reports the results from a cultivar switch experiment that documented the effects of switching the native cultivar from th...

My study dealt with correction in actions and the military's position on it, fact that is a serious scourge has infected language books of authorship literature. Abu Ahmed Al-Askari wrote book distortion entitled ``Explanation what wrong distortion,'' I, turn, studied words Quran his difference between two Mushaf non-Mushaf semantically by giving preference to meaning closest context searching ...

The effect of water deficit on stem reserve mobilization and sink activity in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars, viz., C306 (drought tolerant) and PBW343 (drought sensitive) was studied. Drought was maintained in pot raised plants by withholding irrigation at 95 days after sowing (DAS), i.e. just five days before the initiation of anthesis. Drought induced a significant reduction in mean b...

Here, we present the chloroplast genome sequence of the Saccharum hybrid cultivar RB867515, the most planted sugarcane cultivar in Brazil.

An investigation was carried out with nine green leafy vegetables (GLV’s) with their popular varieties most commonly grown in India to determine their biochemical composition. Among leafy vegetables ascorbic acid was found maximum in Chenopod cultivar Bathua Local (60.6 mg/100 g fw.) followed by Pusa Bathua -1 (23.0 mg/100g fw.) and spinach cultivar PS-1 (51 mg/100 g fw.). Significantly high le...
