the effectiveness of irap, remap, ssr, and issr markers were investigated to assess genetic diversity among and within eight medicago sativa l. populations. a total of 101, 119, 117 loci and 31 alleles were amplified using 10 irap, 14 remap, 16 issr and eight ssr primers, respectively. irap markers generated the maximum proportion of polymorphic loci per primer (pplp) while the maximum value of...

abstract to study the effect of water stress in rapeseed cultivars at the seedling stage, 10 rapeseed cultivars were evaluated at three irrigation levels [normal irrigation (control) and irrigation after depletion of 60 and 85% of available soil water]. analysis of variance showed considerable variation among cultivars. water stress reduced all of the studied morphological characteristics, espe...

objective: this study was to evaluate the effect of vitamin c on the histology and histochemistry of the prefrontal cortex of ethanol-induced rats. methods: male sprague-dawley rats were used for the study. ethical approval was obtained from the university’s ethical committee. the rats were randomly divided into 6 groups of 10 rats each. rats in group a= free access to normal saline. rats in gr...

the flowering and fructification period of the chilean strawberry (fragaria chiloensis (l.) duch.) is restricted to approximately 2 mo, which seriously limits the commercial development of the species. the objective of the current investigation was to identify inter simple sequence repeat (issr) polymorphisms associated with flowering duration in accessions of f. chiloensis. the flowering durat...

immunohistochemical demonstration of tumor-associated markers may be valuable as an adjunct to conventional histology for determination of malignancy development in oral mucosal diseases. accordingly, the present study determined the distribution of some important tumor markers such as heat shock proteins (hsp), fibroblast growth factors (fgf) and transferrin receptors (tf-r) in 22 samples of p...

background: cornus mas l, an olive-shaped red-colored single-seeded fruit, is used in traditional medicine in different parts of europe and asia. objectives: in the present study, 40 male wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups, and the effects of 21 days of intraperitoneally (ip) administration of 50, 200 and 400 mg/kg body weight of c. mas hydro-methanolic extract on the rats hemat...

background: keeping in view the havoc situation of dengue fever in pakistan, the current study was designed to demon­strate the genetic variations, gene flow and rate of migration from lahore and faisalabad. methods: the larvae were collected from both natural and artificial breeding places from each collection site. the adult mosquitoes were collected by means of sweep net and battery-operated...

linseed is an important oilseed and fibre crop predominantly grown in india. the aim of the present research was to evaluate genetic diversity and patterns of relationships among the 58 genotypes through 10 morphological traits and 12 polymorphic microsatellite (ssr) markers. euclidean analysis of agro-morphological traits grouped the 58 genotypes into four clusters of which cluster i was the l...
