the main objective for plant breeding is to increase genetic diversity. mutation induction is a method to increase genetic diversity associated with selection, recombination, or a combination of these approaches in plant breeding. the present research was aimed to compare efficacy of different doses of gamma rays (150, 200, 250, 300 and 350 gy and zero dose control) on the sesame morphological ...

introduction: a number of maternally inherited mitochondrial diseases with distinct clinical phenotypes have been associated with point mutations in mtdna, all of which result in neurologic or neuromuscular disorders. several studies showed that mutations in the trna genes of mtdna could cause mitochondrial disease due to the decreased synthesis of mitochondrial dna coded proteins. materials an...

Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an autosomal co-dominant disorder of lipid metabolism, caused by mutations in LDL receptor gene. The penetrance of FH is almost 100%, meaning that half of the offspring of affected parents born with disease. The patients are at risk of premature coronary heart disease (CHD). There is no report about the molecular basis of FH in Iran. Identification of mutat...

background: sulfur mustard was the most widely applied chemical warfare agent by the iraqi army in iran–iraq war (1983-1988). considering the role of sulfur mustard toxicity in hematopoietic neoplasms and also new role of jak2 mutation in these neoplasms, we assessed this mutation and delayed hematologic complications in veterans exposed to sulfur mustard. methods: this case control study was p...

In India, Holstein and its crosses are being used extensively in breeding programmes and all these breeding bulls are screened for autosomal recessive genes. Blood samples are collected in ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) coated tubes and DNA was isolated by using phenol-chloroform method. Polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) wereperformed by using...
