Molecular Basis of α-Thalassemia in Iran
Alpha-thalassemia (α-thal) is probably the most prevalent monogenic condition in the world. Deletions are the most common types of mutations in α-thal, followed by point mutations and small insertion/deletion. In the context of national screening program for prevention of thalassemia and hemoglobinopathies in Iran, α-thal carriers have come to more attention. Therefore, the fr...
متن کاملRecent Advances in Understanding Plant Heterosis
Although heterosis is widely utilized in crop production, its genetic and molecular basis is still elusive. It is arguably that heterosis arises in crosses between genetically and/or epigenetically distinct individuals. Various genetic models have been proposed to explain heterosis, such as dominance and overdominance hypothesis. With the recent advancements in functional genomics, epigenetics,...
متن کاملEmpirical Bayes analysis of RNA-seq data for detection of gene expression heterosis.
An important type of heterosis, known as hybrid vigor, refers to the enhancements in the phenotype of hybrid progeny relative to their inbred parents. Although hybrid vigor is extensively utilized in agriculture, its molecular basis is still largely unknown. In an effort to understand phenotypic heterosis at the molecular level, researchers are measuring transcript abundance levels of thousands...
متن کاملMolecular targets of pomegranate (Punica granatum) in preventing cancer metastasis
Metastasis is the primary cause of mortality and morbidity among cancer patients and accounts for about 90% of cancer deaths. The most common types of treatment for cancer metastasis are chemotherapy and radiotherapy. However, such therapy has many serious side effects that could diminish the quality of life in patients. There is increased appreciation by the scientific community that natural c...
متن کاملDeveloping heterotic groups for hybrid breeding in crop plants with emphasizing on forage crops
Exploitation of heterosis in hybrid breeding and development of synthetic cultivars is an essential procedure in plant breeding programs. The main goal of hybrid breeding programs is to select desirable parental genotypes to maximize the expression of heterosis. However, since development of high yielding hybrids and synthetic cultivars are costly and time-consuming, the accurate prediction of ...
