Five bacterial strains were isolated from the hemocoel of the greater wax moth larvae (Galleria mellonella) infected with the entomopathogenic nematodes: Heterorhabditis bacteriophora HP88, Heterorhabditis indicus RM1 and Heterorhabditis sp (S1), Steinernema abbasi and Steinernema sp. (S II). Strains were identified as Photorhabdus luminescens HRM1, P. luminescens HS1, P. luminescens HP88, Xeno...

Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) analysis were applied to 74 individual plants of Piper spp in Hainan Island. The results showed that the SRAP technique may be more informative and more efficient and effective for studying genetic diversity of Piper spp than the RAPD technique. The overall level of genetic diversity among Piper spp ...

The steroid receptor RNA activator (SRA) has the unusual property to function as both a non-coding RNA (ncRNA) and a protein SRAP. SRA ncRNA is known to increase the activity of a range of nuclear receptors as well as the master regulator of muscle differentiation MyoD. The contribution of SRA to either a ncRNA or a protein is influenced by alternative splicing of the first intron, the retentio...

introduction reelin gene (reln) codes a large extracellular matrix glycoprotein with serine protease activity and is implicated in the modulation of neuronal signaling, synaptic transmission and plasticity. the reelin plays a fundamental and pivotal role in the development of laminar structures and may be one of the loci contributing to the positive linkage between chromosome 7q and autistic di...

background: treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis (cl) is being faced with serious difficulties in fars province, due to emerging of resistance against meglumine antimonite (glucantime®). in this context, determining some biomarkers for drug sensitivity monitoring seems to be highly essential. different studies have been carried out to decipher the genes might be involved in antimony resistant p...

Information on the genetic diversity of local melon (Cucumis melo L.) genotypes is important for breeding and germplasm conservation efforts. This study was to characterize morphological molecular features accessions collected from different regions northern Cyprus Turkey. We studied 32 accessions, comprising 19 areas in Cyprus, 4 hybrid cultivars, 9 grown Their characteristics were determined ...

fusarium solain is the most important pathogen of huge range of plant hosts, especially potato in the word, which causes tuber rot in storage and root rot of potato plants in fields. fifty four isolates from potato, bean, chickpea and cucurbit (melon, watermelon and cucumber) was subjected in a study through analysis of vegetative compatibility groups (vcgs) and rep-pcr dna fingerprinting. nit ...

Hemarthria compressa is one of the most important and widely utilized forage crops in south China, owing to its high forage yield and capability of adaptation to hot and humid conditions. We examined the population structure and genetic variation within and among 12 populations of H. compressa in south China using sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) markers. High genetic divers...

Dioscorea polystachya Turcz. is the authentic herb Yam in Chinese traditional medicine. In medicinal marketplace, some related species are mislabeled as “Yams”, such D. alata L., exalata C.T. Ting & M.C. Chang, persimili Prain et Burkill, fordii Burkill and japonica Thunb. To determine genetic relationships among these develop a rapid accurate method for identification, Inter Simple Sequence Re...

The availability of adequate information about the documentation and characterization germplasm is fundamental for any crop improvement program. importance cumin as a medicinal plant yet lack its genetic variability encouraged us to initiate current study aiming at assessing among 17 genotypes from different geographical regions using four molecular markers (RAPD, ISSR, SRAP SCoT). Further, pot...
