Molecular phylogenetic analyses indicate that the monophyletic classes Orbiliomycetes and Pezizomycetes are among the earliest diverging branches of Pezizomycotina, the largest subphylum of the Ascomycota. Although Orbiliomycetes is resolved as the most basal lineage in some analyses, molecular support for the node resolving the relationships between the two classes is low and topologies are un...

members of erysiphales cause powdery mildew diseases on wide host rang and produce whitish primary mycelium on surface of infected parts. based on microscopic study of one specimen on jasminum sp., structures of fungus including conidiophores and conidia were observed. foot cells of conidiophores were cylindrical or curved in basal part, followed by 1-2 shorter cells. conidia were ellipsoid to ...

Predation was a powerful selective force promoting increased morphological complexity in a unicellular prey held in constant environmental conditions. The green alga, Chlorella vulgaris, is a well-studied eukaryote, which has retained its normal unicellular form in cultures in our laboratories for thousands of generations. For the experiments reported here, steady-state unicellular C. vulgaris ...

Background/Aim: SLC20A1 has been identified as a prognostic marker in ER+ breast cancer. However, the role of expression cancer subtypes other than types remains unclear. Materials and Methods: Genomics datasets were downloaded analyzed, effect knockdown using targeted siRNA on cell viability tumor-sphere formation was assessed. Results: SLC20A1high patients with ER+, claudin-low or ...

Twenty-two root samples from raspberry plants exhibiting symptoms consistent with Phytophthora infection, i.e. cane wilt, chlorotic leaves, and blackened roots, were collected two farms in Perthshire, Scotland, November 2021 (Fig. 1). Roots rinsed water, cut into 20 mm sections, transferred 70% (v/v) ethanol for 10 seconds dried on sterile filter paper. Five sections per sample aseptically to P...

a study was carried out to examine the effect of different levels of herbal methionine and dl-methionine on the growth performance and immunocompetence of broiler chickens fed on a corn-soybean meal diet. a total of 225 old male broiler chickens (ross 308) were used as experimental samples in a completely randomized design. they were randomly assigned to 9 treatments each of 5 replicates in eve...

The familial placement of four genera, Mycodidymella, Petrakia, Pseudodidymella, and Xenostigmina, was taxonomically revised based on morphological observations and phylogenetic analyses of nuclear rDNA SSU, LSU, tef1, and rpb2 sequences. ITS sequences were also provided as barcode markers. A total of 130 sequences were newly obtained from 28 isolates which are phylogenetically related to Melan...

Previously published molecular phylogenetic analyses of the Chaetophorales (Chlorophyceae) suffered from limited taxon sampling (six genera with only a single species per genus). To test the monophyly of species-rich genera, and to analyze the phylogenetic relationships among families and genera in the Chaetophorales, we determined nuclear-encoded SSU rDNA sequences from 30 strains of Chaetopho...
