The Phomopsis is a genus of imperfect plant pathogenic fungus whose hosts comprise several species in different regions of the world, such as grapes, soybean, acacia, hollyhock, velvetleaf, and several other plants. In this study, samples collected from hollyhock, velvetleaf, purple bauhinia, and acacia plants suspected to be infected with Phomopsis fungi. Samples were culture...

Background: Gossypium thurberi is a wild diploid species that has been used to improve cultivated allotetraploid cotton. G. thurberi belongs to D genome, which is an important wild bio-source for the cotton breeding and genetic research. To a certain degree, chloroplast DNA sequence information are a versatile tool for species identification and phylogenetic implications in plants. Different ch...

background:   human fascioliasis is an important health problem in the province of gilan, at the caspian sea, iran. there is the overlapping of both fasciolid species, fasciola hepatica and f. gigantica . recent studies on both domestic animal and lym­naeid infection furnished evidence suggesting that f. gigantica and radix gedrosiana may be the main fasciolid and lym­naeid involved in the dise...

In India, Holstein and its crosses are being used extensively in breeding programmes and all these breeding bulls are screened for autosomal recessive genes. Blood samples are collected in ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) coated tubes and DNA was isolated by using phenol-chloroform method. Polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) wereperformed by using...

background and objectives: the increase of infections caused by nontuberculous mycobacteria (ntm) is receiving increasing attention worldwide. mycobacterium fortuitum is encountered with increasing frequency in clinical laboratories of iran. materials and methods: sequence variation of 48 m. fortuitum clinical isolates, were investigated by sequence analysis of the 16s-23s internal transcribed ...

trichophyton rubrum is an anthropophilic fungus causing up to 90% of chronic cases of dermatophytosis. several properties of this fungus have been investigated so far. however, a few studies were carried out in the field of molecular biology of this fungus. in the present study, we tried to identify the subunit g of its vacuolar atpase (v-atpase). pairs of 21 nt primers were designed from highl...

the aim of this study was to produce a recombinant protein consisting of the catalytic and translocation domains of diphtheria toxin for its later application as a vaccine candidate against corynebacterium diphtheria. to achieve this goal, at first, the amino acid sequence of dt386 was used for prediction of t and b cell epitopes using on-line servers. the dt386 coding sequence was synthesized ...
