sarcocystis is an obligatory intracellular protozoan parasite which can infect humans and animals. sheep are intermediate hosts of four sarcocystis species: sarcocystis tenella, sarcocystis gigantea, sarcocystis arieticanis, and sarcocystis medusiformision. the purpose of the study was to determine the molecular identification of the macroscopic and microscopic cysts of sarcocystis in sheep. in...

the quality traits of triticum dicoccoides ku-13441 (triticum turgidum l. var. dicoccoides (aabb, 2n= 4x= 28)) were analyzed by mixograph, and the results showed that t. dicoccoides ku-13441 had desirable qualities in gluten strength and flour stirring tolerance. subsequently, seventeen novel full-orf α-gliadin genes and thirty-five pseudogenes were cloned and sequenced from t. dicoccoides ku-1...

introduction : the innate immune system as the first line of defense against the pathogens recognizes pathogen-associated molecular patterns (pamps) by toll-like receptors (tlrs). interaction of bacterial pamps by tlrs results in activation of innate and acquired immunity. fimh adhesin, a minor component of type 1 fimbriae encoded by uropathogenic escherichia coli (upec) is a pamp of tlr4 that ...

pod length is one of the effective components on canola yield selection on the basis of which can increase not only the seed yield but also the oil yield. molecular markers asso-ciated with long pod loci were identified in a doubled haploid population derived from a cross between the canola lines ‘quantum’ (long pod) ‘china a’ (short pod) using rapd and bulked segregant analysis. a molecular ma...

equilibrium geometry, electronic structures, and vibrational modes of cob8- were investigated in the pbepbe/6-311+g(d,p) level of theory. the nucleus independent chemical shift (nics) analysis and magnetizability values were used for studying of aromaticity in cob8-. the effects of different solvents on the structure and frontier orbital energies were calculated using the polarizable continuum ...

study of genetic relationships is a prerequisite for plant breeding activities as well as for conservation of genetic resources. in the present study, genetic diversity among and within 15 iranian native ajowan(carum copticum l.) populations were determined using inter simple sequence repeat (issr) markers. twelve selected primers produced 153 discernible bands, with 93 (60.78%) being polymorph...

the results of mndo, am1 and pm3 semi-empirical calculations and hf/6-31g*, mp/6-31g*, mp2/6-311+g**, and b3lyp/6-311g** and qcisd/6-31g* ab initio methods for angle strain and conjugation effects in twist-boat, boat, and half-chair geometries of (z,z,z)-cycloocta-1,3,5-triene indicate that all methods, except pm3, predict wrong ordering of the conformations.

ab initio calculations at hf/6-31g* level of theory for geometry optimization and mp2/6-31g*//hf/6-31g*for total energy calculation are reported for z-cyclooctene (1). the most favorable conformation of 1 is theunsymmetric boat-chair (1-bc) geometry. potential energy profiles for two different boat-chair/boat-chairinterconversion processes were calculated. the process via a chair transition sta...

polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism (pcr-rflp) and phylogenetic analysis were used for molecular identification of lactic acid bacteria (labs) isolated from apis mellifera. eighteen honeybee workers were collected from three different apiaries in west azerbaijan. labs from the gut of honeybees were isolated and cultured using routine biochemical procedures. ge...

in this study, srap molecular maker approach was performed to investigate genetic diversity in the salvia genus. a total of 205 dna bands were produced from pcr amplification of 11 salvia species and populations using 25 selective primer combinations, of which 204 polymorphic genetic loci accounted. the total number of amplified fragments ranged from 3 to 15. the genetic similarities of 11 coll...
