The evaluation of an almond collection using morphological variables and identification of self-incompatibility genotype  is useful for selecting pollinizers and for the design of crossing in almond breeding programs. In this study, important morphological traits and self-incompatibilities in 71 almond cultivars and genotypes were studied. Simple and multiplex specific PCR analyses were used in...

CYP2C19 polymorphism is associated with pretreatment drug response prediction, metabolism, and disposition. Pakistan consists of a population comprising of various ethnic groups residing in different regions of the country each claiming diverse ethnic origins. The identification of CYP450 genotypic composition of these populations is therefore necessary to avoid adverse drug reactions in these ...

Abstract Background Recent studies from different malaria-endemic regions including western Africa have now shown that Plasmodium vivax can infect red blood cells (RBCs) and cause clinical disease in Duffy-negative people, though the phenotype was thought to confer complete refractoriness against invasion with P. . The actual prevalence of local populations Ghana is unknown little information a...

Background: The tumor suppressor gene TP53 (alias p53) located on chromosome 17 is involved in various cancers. Case-control studies have shown that p53 codon 72 polymorphism modulates the prognosis and susceptibility to various malignancies. We undertook the present study to explore a possible association between mucinous and non-mucinous adenocarcinomas with different genotypes or alleles at ...

The putative promoter region of the SNRPN gene contains a CpG island which is heavily methylated in the maternally derived allele and unmethylated in the paternally derived allele. In patients with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) only the methylated allele is present, while in those with Angelman syndrome (AS) only the unmethylated allele is present. The purpose of this paper is to report a polymer...

Grapevine powdery mildew (GPM), caused by the fungus Erysiphe necator, is a constant threat to worldwide production of grape berries, requiring repeated use fungicides for management. The frequent fungicide applications have resulted in resistance commonly used quinone outside inhibitor (QoI) and associated with single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) mitochondrial cytochrome b gene (cytb). In t...
