Introduction: Drought is the main abiotic stress responsible for crop loss worldwide. Maize ( Zea mays L.) a widely grown drought-sensitive used as staple food by growing population. Therefore, it imperative to assess molecular mechanisms behind drought response and tolerance in maize. Transcriptomic profiling of responsive pathways various crops appeared be an unreliable approach due post-tran...

abstract         background and objective: normal hemoglobin (hb) is formed of a heme group and a protein group known as globin. globin is made of four polypeptide chains and in hemoglobinopathies, the structure of one of these four polypeptide chain becomes abnormal. cellulose acetate method is a common way to differentiate haemoglobinopathies. inability to identify the components of hb low co...

Priapism is a prolonged involuntary erection that can have severe complications if left untreated. Ischaemic priapism very rare in children and requires urgent intervention to prevent permanent erectile dysfunction penile shortening. It be caused by ischaemia sickle cell anaemia, leukaemia, trauma, drugs, or idiopathy. Homocystinuria autosomal recessive disorder cause hyperhomocysteinemia hyper...

keeping constant all agronomic factors except temperature is a way to follow heat shock proteins (hsps) expression. three different sunflower hybrids derived from the cross between an inbred line, cms ha 89, and three different restorer inbred lines, with resistance, susceptible, and normal reactions to drought, were produced. in order to investigate the impact of temperature on protein accumul...

A 4-yr-old male Micronesian kingfisher was suspected of having an aspergillus infection. The infection was thought to be related to stress associated with movement to a new enclosure/exhibit and cage-mate aggression. The diagnosis was based on an elevated white cell count, positive antibody and antigen aspergillus titers, and abnormal plasma protein electrophoresis characterized by a moderate e...

two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-d electrophoresis) is a powerful and extensively used method for analysis of complex protein mixtures extracted from cells, tissue, or other biological samples such as helminth parasites including, f. hepatica. each spot on the resulting two-dimensional collection corresponds to a single protein species in the sample. this study was carried out to detect of gs...

Seeds of sword bean (Canavalia gladiata), a leguminous plant, is rich in proteins and cannot be eaten raw because the seed contains toxins, such as concanavalin A (ConA) canatoxin. Therefore, seeds are soaked, boiled, rinsed, pounded before using them protein ingredient. Also, have been utilized natural medicine. Recently, it was reported that consuming tea alleviates allergic rhinitis symptoms...

background: the aim of this study was to evaluate the protein spots of excre-tory - secretory products of fasciola hepatica using two dimension electrophoresis method in the presence and absence of triclabendazole drug which can be consid-ered to detect the target protein of the drug. methods: f. hepatica parasites were collected from infected cattle livers, divided in two groups and cultivated...

the tlr4 gene structure as the main receptor for lipopolysaccharide recognition of gram-negative bacteria was investigated in two strains of iranian commercial arian line and west azerbaijan native chicks and its expression was studied in some major organs. blood samples of the 120 birds were taken and total dnas extracted. then, the target gene was sequenced using four pairs of primers on four...

Serum electrophoresis was done in 31 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and 62 age and sex matched controls. Protein values amongst controls were higher than those described by others. In tuberculosis there was significant decrease in total proteins, and albumin with corresponding increase in globulin, mainly due to an increase in gamma globulin fraction. There was no significant increase in ...
