Background and purpose: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common liver disorder in the world. Genetic factors are believed to be associated with development of NAFLD. This research aimed at studying the effect of eight weeks of compound exercises (aerobic and resistance) on human body with three genotypes (TT, CT, CC) of C677T polymorphism of methylenetetrahydrofolate reduct...

One of the most complicated issues in plant breeding programs is genotype by environment interaction. To evaluate seed yield stability of 18 chickpea promising lines, a field experiment was conducted using randomized complete block design with four replications in two cropping seasons (2018-19 and 2019-2020) in four research stations (Maragheh, Kurdistan West Azerbaijan and Hamedan), Iran. Comb...

Background and purpose: Gastric cancer is the fourth most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death worldwide. North of Iran is a high risk area for gastric cancer. Bcl2 family is the most important regulator of apoptosis and -938C>A single nucleotide polymorphism of bcl2 gene promoter has been demonstrated to influence gastric cancer susceptibility. In this research we studied...

During recent years, several genotypes have been selected from Isfahan land race Kouseh. The performance of safflower selected genotypes was studied in the field conditions, at Agriculture Research Station, Isfahan University of Technology during 2003. The experiment was carried out using a split plot arrangement according to a randomized complete block design with three replications. Planting ...

Two-spotted spider mite) Tetranychus urticae) is one of the most important pests of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) in Iran. Common bean seedlings are susceptible to the mite and greenhouse is a suitable environment for two spotted spider mite reproduction. Accordingly, to evaluate the mite resistance, 19 common bean genotypes were planted in a completely randomized design arrangement with t...
