Three different DNA-based techniques, Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD), Inter Simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR) and Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) markers, were used for fingerprinting Dactylis glomerata genotypes and for detecting genetic variation between the three different subspecies. In this study, RAPD assays produced 97 bands, of which 40 were polymorphic (41.2%). The I...

Sorghum is an important target for plant genomic mapping because of its adaptation to harsh environments, diverse germplasm collection, and value for comparing the genomes of grass species such as corn and rice. The construction of an integrated genetic and physical map of the sorghum genome (750 Mbp) is a primary goal of our sorghum genome project. To help accomplish this task, we have develop...

Contamination routes of Listeria monocytogenes were examined in a chilled food processing plant that produced ready-to-eat and ready-to-reheat meals during an 8-year period by amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis. A total of 319 L. monocytogenes isolates were recovered from raw materials (n = 18), the environment (n = 77), equipment (n = 193), and products (n = 31), and 18 dif...

the genetic diversity of a large number of pistachio genotypes grown in iran is not exactly known. most of the studies on genetic diversity of iranian pistachio varieties are based on morphological characteristics or isozyme markers. in the present study, the genetic diversity of selected pistachio cultivars along with some wild species were evaluated by amplified fragment length polymorphism (...

Phoenix dactylifera L. is a flowering plant species commonly known as the date palm and widely cultivated in most Middle East countries, including Libya. The present study analysed biochemical genetic diversity of fully mature eight Libyan cultivars grown different regions using amplified fragments length polymorphism (AFLP) technique. Six pairs AFLP molecular marker combinations were utilised ...

Abstract Background Acute fatty liver of pregnancy (AFLP) is an acute, rare and potentially lethal disease typically occurring in the third trimester pregnancy. So far, there no effective means prevention. Therefore, this study, we retrospectively analyzed clinical features AFLP patients for a better understanding. Meanwhile, first time, genetic background associated with onset was discussed by...

acute fatty liver of pregnancy (aflp) is a rare entity and a potentially fatal disorder. it is reported to be more common in multiple than singleton pregnancies. sometimes it coincides with preeclampsia but the exact etiology is not yet understood. a 31-year-old g2 p1 patient admitted at 33 weeks of pregnancy with signs and symptoms of jaundice, gastroenteritis, hypertension, malaise, urinary i...
