Seventeen genera and 48 species, in five subtribes, are recognized in Thailand. These include 15 endemic taxa, half of which are in the largest genus, Acilepis, with others in the genera Camchaya, Koyamasia, and Okia. A new monotypic genus, Pulicarioidea, is established with P. annamica, the new name for the species formerly known as Vernonia pulicarioides. New combinations are also made for Ac...

In the present study six different populations of L. orbonalis were collected and subjected to analysis of genetic variability in terms of carboxylesterase isozyme pattern and DNA polymorphism using RAPD-PCR. Pattern of carboxylesterase revealed a similar isozyme cluster in the populations namely, sivaganga (population-3), dindigal (population-4), virudhunagar (population-5) and coimbatore (pop...

Four populations of Anopheles sacharovi Favre occurring in different ecological subregions at altitudes between 353-1,126 m in the Sanliurfa Province of southeast Turkey were compared using morphometric and allozyme analyses. Four allozyme loci were assessed for genetic differentiation among samples from four localities. The similarity phenogram obtained from the allozyme data showed that popul...

Herein, genetic relationships among five breeds of Bulgarian sheep were estimated using microsatellite markers. The total number of alleles identified was 226 at the 16 loci examined. D(A) distance values were used for phylogenetic tree construction with the UPGMA algorithm. The two Tsigai and two Maritza populations were found to be geneticallvery closely related to each other y (0.198, and 0....

Internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of nuclear ribosomal DNA from 16 populations of Persicaria barbata (L.) H. Hara (Polygonaceae) belonging to five geographical locations of India (Arunachal Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Bihar, Karnataka and Andaman Island) was sequenced. Analysis of nucleotide sequences reveals polymorphism among the populations. UPGMA analysis conducted on the ITS datasets...

Little is known about the molecular genetic diversity of most Passiflora species. We used RAPD markers to evaluate the genetic diversity of 24 genotypes of the 'sleep' passion fruit (Passiflora setacea). Twelve primers generated 95 markers, 88% of which were polymorphic. The genetic distance estimated by the complement of the Dice index ranged from 0.29 (among accessions Ps-G1 and Ps-G13) ...

There are several distinct tools to identify orthologous gene sequence from homologous gene sequence. Identification of orthologous gene is a major issue, and it is found that orthologous genes are responsible for any genetic disorders. In this paper we are focusing on hematologic disorders and found that orthologous genes are primary actor of haematological disorders. Here we present a novel a...

a r t i c l e i n f o Keywords: 2-norm Cophenetic correlation coefficient Beta diversity Dendrogram UPGMA Ward's algorithm Investigation of patterns in beta diversity has received increased attention over the last years particularly in light of new ecological theories such as the metapopulation paradigm and metacommunity theory. Traditionally , beta diversity patterns can be described by cluste...

Precise identification of insect species plays an essential role in the accurate estimation of the postmortem interval (PMI), especially when information on the postmortem phenomenon is not available. Sarcosaphagous beetles infest and colonize human and animal remains in the late stage of decomposition, and their morphological similarity poses a great challenge for forensic entomologists, as an...

Automatic classification of schizophrenia patients and healthy controls based on their 3-D MRI deformation images is introduced here. The image data are reduced by 2DPCA to avoid high computational expenses. Consecutively, reduced data are classified into the two groups according to the centroid method or the average linkage method. The results show that the algorithm gives better results while...
