The objective of this study was to estimate heritability, heterosis, and genetic parameters involved in the control of forage yield and quality in kenaf populations, using analysis of generation means. Two crosses were used; Cuba 2032×Accession 75-71 and IX51×Everglade 41. Experimental material comprised of P1 and P2, their F1 and F2 and BC1P1 and BC1P2 generations. The effects of generations w...

breeding programs strategies depends on genetical mechanism of selection traits. in the present research, generation mean analysis with joint scaling test was performed to determine the gene action. f1, f2 and f3 generations, derived from roushan and kavir cross along with their parents were sown in a partial lattice design with two replications under stress condition at the research field of s...

Background and Aim: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an important ubiquitous and especially common pathogen in the hospital. Exotoxin A that encoded by exoA gene has a role in pathogenesis of this bacterium. Today, probiotics are widely used in the treatment and prevention of diseases. The present study aimed to study the Saccharomyces cerevisiae S3 effect on the expression of exoA gene. Materials an...

barley (hordeum vulgare l.) is a model plant, as genetic and physiological studies are concerned. abiotic stresses such as drought adversely affect the growth of plants. the objective of this experiment was to identify the responsive genes to osmotic stress, using macroarray (covering 13050 genes). rna was extracted from 5 barley genotypes in stress as well as in normal conditions at 3 times of...

The bioavailability of methylmercury (MeHg) in the brains of  orange spotted groupers, captured from four creeks of Mahshahr embayment was measured.  Then the effects of this pollutant on the regulation of gene expression, acetylcholinesterase transcript levels was chosen in order to monitor the amounts of methylmercury concentrations in the creeks, and the fluctuations of mRNA expressions in t...

abstract boswellia has been widely used in traditional medicine for the treatment of different diseases such as cancer in iran. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the gum methanol extract of boswellia thurifera on the viability and p53 gene expression of cultured breast cancer cells. the gum methanol extract was obtained in various concentrations using the maceration method. no...
