evolutionary origin and phylogenetic relationships among fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melonis isolates in iran and their relationship with nonpathogenic isolates

پژمردگی فوزاریومی خربزه و طالبی با عامل fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melonis از بیماری های مهم قارچی در مناطق رشد این گیاهان می باشد. جدایه های f. oxysporum از گیاهان و خاک ریزوسفر متعلق به پنج استان مهم تولیدکننده ی خربزه و طالبی جداسازی شد و بر پایه ی بیماری زایی در ارقام افتراقی، گروه های سازگاری رویشی (vegetative compatibility groups)، توالی سنجی ناحیه ی جداکننده ی بین ژنی دی اِن اِی ریبوزومی (n...

LEAPT: lectin-directed enzyme-activated prodrug therapy.

Targeted drug delivery to selected sites allows reduced toxicity, enhanced efficiency and interchangeable target potential [Langer, R. (2001) Science 293, 58-59 and Molema, G. & Meijer, D. K. F., eds. (2001) Drug Targeting (Wiley-VCH, Weinheim, Germany)]. We describe a bipartite drug-delivery system that exploits (I) endogenous carbohydrate-to-lectin binding to localize glycosylated enzyme conj...

Molecular Testing in Microbiology

There are significant challenges associated with qualitative and quantitative nucleic acid tests performed in diagnostic laboratories. The development of internationally available certified reference materials which can be traced to reference measurements will contribute to a better understanding of the performance characteristics of nucleic acid tests and enhance reliability and comparability ...
