Acute gastroenteritis (AGE) has a great impact on children less than five years of age, producing high levels of morbidity and mortality. Worldwide, AGE is mainly related to viruses, mainly rotavirus but human adenovirus (HAdV) in particular as an important etiologic agent. Among HAdV species F, genotypes 40 and 41 are responsible for a high number of diarrhea cases, mainly in children under 2 ...

BACKGROUND Recently, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (DLK-rs10144321, SIX6-rs1254337, MKRN3-rs12148769, LIN28B-rs7759938, and KCNK9-rs1469039) were found to be strongly associated with age at menarche. Recent studies also suggested that age at menarche is a heritable trait and is associated with risks for obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), cardiovascular disease, and all-cause mor...

Abstract Background Rosa damascena is an aromatic rose species, which cultivated for its essential oil, and widely used in perfume, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, food industries the world. This experiment was conducted to evaluate oil morphological variations of 26 Damask genotypes. For this purpose, effect harvest time, i.e., early morning or evening, sampling type, fresh dried petals, on content ...

Coffee is the main Ethiopia’s most important agricultural export crop, which providing about 25-30% of foreign exchange earnings. The estimation stability performance cultivars becomes to detect consistently performing and high yielding genotypes. Eleven Arabica coffee genotypes were evaluated in southwestern part Ethiopia across four locations for two consecutive years (2014/15 - 2015/16). obj...

This study was conducted to assessthegenetic variety of 12 damask rosegenotypes of Kurdistan using morphological traits in Zaleh Research Farm affiliated to Kurdistan Province Agriculture Research Center. The experiment was carried out as a randomized complete block design with three replications and each replication included three stocks in each genotype. Results of analysis of variance showed...

Genetic diversity of 60 Hevea genotypes, consisting of Asiatic, Amazonian, African and IAC clones, and pertaining to the genetic breeding program of the Agronomic Institute (IAC), Brazil, was estimated. Analyses were based on phenotypic multivariate parameters and microsatellites. Five agronomic descriptors were employed in multivariate procedures, such as Standard Euclidian Distance, Tocher cl...

to study the tolerance of genotypes under terminal drought stress, 20 promising winter and facultative bread wheat genotypes were evaluated at karadj, ardebil, arak and hamedan agricultural research stations during 2001-02 cropping season. the experimental design in all the locations was randomized complete block of three replications. grain yield (yld), harvest index (hi), grain number per spi...

Crenate broomrape (Orobanche crenata) is considered to be the major constraint for legume crops in Mediterranean countries. Strategies of control have been developed, but only marginal successes have been achieved. For the efficient control of the parasite, a better understanding of its interaction and associated resistance mechanisms at the molecular level is required. The pea response to this...
