In this study, the palynology of 33 species of Silene belonging to 15 sections was investigated to examine the correspondence between palynology, morphological sections and phylogenetic trees. The pollen grains were prepared using the acetolysis method. Quantitative and qualitative micromorphological features of pollens were investigated using light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy....

results the present work figured out that the heterogeneity of the quasispecies of our local strains 4a was high showing up 15% diversity. this study also showed four glycosylation sites that play an important role in the entry of the virus and protein folding. besides, different epitpoes were identified in different regions of the e1 and e2 domains; a finding which would help in determining th...

peanut plants showing mottling, yellow and necrotic spots on leaves were collected from peanut fields in golestan province. electron microscopic studies revealed the presence of flexuous filamentous particles ca. 700 nm in length, which was suggestive of a potyvirus infection. healthy nicotiana benthamiana plants mechanically inoculated with sap from infected peanut plants showed mottling, down...

dirofilaria immitis is an important filarial nematode in dogs. in this study, age and sex distribution of this zoonotic nematode among dogs were investigated in northwest of iran in meshkin-shahr city. molecular characteristics of the isolates, based on cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) gene were compared to the isolates from other areas of the world.blood samples were collected from 91 dogs ...

Background: Candida auris is a globally emerging yeast pathogen that has shown not only resistance to most anti-fungal drugs but also thermo-tolerance to temperatures higher than the mammalian’s body temperature. Although it has been only a decade since the fungus was identified, its spread of infections has been rapid and quasi-epidemics have been reported. Co-occurrences of the fungus infecti...

Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.) and napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schumach) are the most economically important species in the genus Pennisetum. Knowledge of genetic diversity of these two species would enhance their potentials for utilization. The present work assessed the genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationship among Nigerian and Indian accessions of pearl millet an...
