background and objectives:  haplophyllum canaliculatum isan endemicand endangerediranian plant from rutaceae family. the object of this work was to study the volatile production in established shoot and callus cultures of haplophyllum canaliculatum as well as isolation, identification and sequencing of 18s rrna gene from callus culture. methods: shoot and callus cultures of h. canaliculatum wer...

detection of mycoplasma synoviae (ms) by culture and polymerase chain reaction (pcr) has been reported from commercial chicken farms in different provinces of iran. in some reports the phylogenetic analysis of ms isolates based on 16s rrna and variable lipoprotein hemagglutinin (vlha) genes have been carried out. the pcr product containing partial 16s rrna genes of iranain isolates was sequence...

A method is described for the isolation of pulse-labelled RNA from nuclei and subnuclear fractions of Physarum polycephalum. At all times during interphase the nucleolar RNA consisted mainly of a 34-S rRNA precursor with only small amounts of 26-S and 19-S rRNAs. The nucleoplasmic RNA consisted of predominantly mature 26-S rRNA with small amounts of 19-S rRNA and a 30-S RNA species. The 30-S RN...

ErmC' is a methyltransferase that confers resistance to the macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin B group of antibiotics by catalyzing the methylation of 23S rRNA at a specific adenine residue (A-2085 in Bacillus subtilis; A-2058 in Escherichia coli). The gene for ErmC' was cloned and expressed to a high level in E. coli, and the protein was purified to virtual homogeneity. Studies of substrate r...

Non syndromic hearing impairment is a common sensory disorder, which affects one in 600 newborns. Though more than 50 nuclear genes are involved in causing non syndromic hearing impairment, mutations in the connexin 26 (GJB2) gene explain a high proportion of congenital deafness in several populations worldwide. The diversity of genes and genetic loci implicated in hearing loss defines the comp...

There is an error in the seventh sentence of the Abstract. The subfamily name is misspelled. The correct sentence is: Therefore, the subfamily Crassostreinae (including Crassostrea), Saccostreinae subfam. nov. (including Saccostrea and tentatively Striostrea) and Ostreinae (including Ostreinae and Lophinae taxa) are recognized. There is a typographical error in the second sentence of the second...

We investigated extending the use of direct partial hsp65 gene sequencing for the identification of mycobacteria to isolates in primary liquid detection media as an economical, feasible, and more rapid means of identification. During the course of the study, the hsp65 sequence-based identifications for isolates from 670 primary liquid detection media determined to be positive for acid-fast baci...

more than 185 species, strains and unclassified theileria parasites are categorized in the entrez taxonomy. the accurate diagnosis and proper identification of the causative agents are important for understanding the epidemiology, prevention and appropriate treatment. this study aims to discuss the importance of two genes of theileria annulata 18s ribosomal rna (18s rrna) and theileria annulata...
