the genus astragalus l. (fabaceae) is reviewed from both phyloenetic and taxonomic points of view. as the largest genus of flowering plants it has attracted many researchers, but much work remains to be done. a short taxonomic history with special focus on infrageneric classification of the genus, a list of phylogenetic studies including the applied markers and sampling strategies as well a...

the mode of inheritance of seedling color and plant pubescence was studied in two crosses among three parents, which differed for these traits. the results have revealed that purple seedling color was dominant over green seedling color and pubescence was dominant over nonpubescence. these two traits segregated independently of each other may be used as morphological markers individually for dif...

The cosmopolitan solitary deep-water scleractinian coral Desmophyllum dianthus (Esper, 1794) was selected as a representative model species of the polyphyletic Caryophylliidae family to (1) examine phylogenetic relationships with respect to the principal Scleractinia taxa, (2) check population structure, (3) test the widespread connectivity hypothesis and (4) assess the utility of different nuc...

Summary Ditylenchus rafiqi n. sp. was recovered from the rhizosphere of pomegranate in New Delhi (India), and it is characterised by morphological, morphometrical molecular methods. The new species having a body length 553-901 μ m, delicate stylet (7-10 m long), longer conus (5.0-5.5 females 4.5-5.5 males) with small round knobs sloping backward, seven lateral lines at mid-body, median bulb wel...

Tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum) has been cultivated for over one thousand years in the Liangshan Prefecture of Sichuan, China. Growing population pressures, economic modernization and erosion traditional culture have led to rapid loss area covered by landraces. Morphological molecular characterization 112 accessions from 29 populations were assessed based on 10 morphological traits seed...

BACKGROUND Various studies have shown that non-surgical periodontal treatment is correlated with reduction in clinical parameters and plasma levels of inflammatory markers. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of long-term weekly supragingival irrigations with aerosolized 0.5% hydrogen peroxide as maintenance therapy followed by non-surgical periodontal treatment on clinical paramet...

the investigation and determination of the significance of neovascularization in the progression of soft tissue sarcoma is currently of increasing clinical importance. microvessel density is the morphologic evidence of neoangiogenesis in the process of malignant progression of sarcomata. this brief review of the markers commonly used in clinical practice was undertaken to determine the validity...
