چکیده

The genus Cardiovirus which belongs to the family Picornaviridae is divided into two species: Theilovirus and Encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV). The natural hosts for Cardioviruses have been thought to be the rodents. However, in 2007, a human cardiovirus, designated Saffold virus (SAFV), was identified from an infant with a fever of unknown origin [1]. Its nucleotide sequences showed a strong similarity to Theiler-like rat virus (TRV), which was isolated from rats in Japan [2]. In the aid of phylogenetic analysis, SAFV was classified with TRV, Theiler’s murine encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV) and Vilyuisk human encephalomyelitis virus (VHEV) into the species Theilovirus and eight genotypes of SAFV have been reported [1, 3-6].

Differential Expression of Arabidopsis thaliana Acid Phosphatases in Response to Abiotic Stresses

The objective of this research is to identify Arabidopsis thaliana genes encoding acid phosphatases induced by phosphate starvation. Multiple alignments of eukaryotic acid phosphatase amino acid sequences led to the classification of these proteins into four groups including purple acid phosphatases (PAPs). Specific primers were degenerated and designed based on conserved sequences of PAPs isol...

Infectious RNA transcripts from full-length dengue virus type 2 cDNA clones made in yeast.

The dengue virus type 2 genomic RNA was amplified by reverse transcription-PCR and cloned as four cDNA fragments. We could not assemble these four fragments into full-length cDNA in Escherichia coli. The full-length dengue virus cDNA was constructed by homologous recombination in yeast, either as part of a yeast artificial chromosome or in a yeast-E. coli shuttle vector. Full-length cDNA clones...

Rapid Construction of Complex Plant RNA Virus Infectious cDNA Clones for Agroinfection Using a Yeast-E. coli-Agrobacterium Shuttle Vector

The availability of infectious full-length clone is indispensable for reverse genetics studies of virus biology, pathology and construction of viral vectors. However, for RNA viruses with large genome sizes or those exhibiting inherent cloning difficulties, procedure to generate biologically active circular DNA (cDNA) clones can be time-consuming or technically challenging. Here we have constru...

Reverse genetics in high throughput: rapid generation of complete negative strand RNA virus cDNA clones and recombinant viruses thereof

Reverse genetics approaches are indispensable tools for proof of concepts in virus replication and pathogenesis. For negative strand RNA viruses (NSVs) the limited number of infectious cDNA clones represents a bottleneck as clones are often generated from cell culture adapted or attenuated viruses, with limited potential for pathogenesis research. We developed a system in which cDNA copies of c...

ارزیابی تنوع ژنتیکی کلون‌های زراعی چای در ایران با استفاده از نشانگر مولکولی راپید

Tea (C. sinensis L.) is the most important beverage crop in Iran and genetic base of current Iranian tea shrubs were achieved from three mass seeds namely: Dhongan, Batjan and Raighur. In this study, genetic diversity of 30 cultivated tea clones were evaluated using 45 RAPD markers and 13 morphological and 4 chemical characters respectively. Sixteen and of 45 markers produced 96 bands that 89 b...
