Even though oats (Avena spp.) have the capacity to produce numerous compounds with potential act antagonistically against plant pathogens, studies on genotypic effect of this crop focusing their nematicidal activity are limited. The objective study was verify aqueous extracts prepared biomass oat genotypes, hatching second-stage juveniles root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne javanica and Meloidogyn...

OBJECTIVE Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes dominate genetic susceptibility factors in multiple sclerosis (MS). Given the general consensus that incidence and prevalence of MS has been rising and specifically in women, we evaluated MHC-gender interactions. METHODS In a large family-based cohort consisting of 7,093 individuals (2,127 affected individuals) from 1,055 MS families, we ...

First line in abstract should be Date palm is an important fruit crop of the arid and semiarid region. In the present investigation two types of DNA based marker RAPD and ISSR were used to characterize 8 date palm genotypes grown in the Kutch region. Amplification of genomic DNA of 8 genotypes using 13 RAPD analyses yielded 88 fragments, of which 35 were polymorphic, with an average of 2.69 pol...

We present a model for evolving population which maintains genetic polymorphism. By introducing random mutation in the model population at a constant rate, we observe that the population does not become extinct but survives, keeping diversity in the gene pool under abrupt environmental changes. The model provides reasonable estimates for the proportions of polymorphic and heterozygous loci and ...

lentil (lens culinaris. medik) is one of the major cool season pulse crops which could suffer damage under severe cold. some physiological parameters such as electrolyte leakage (el) have been used to assess the response of crops to cold conditions. in order to evaluate the possibility of using the el index for assessing the freezing tolerance of lentil genotypes, a factorial experiment carried...

background: to study methaemoglobin content and nadh-methaemoglobin reductase activity of three human erythrocyte genotypes (hbaa, hbas and hbss).materials and methods: studies to ascertain methaemoglobin concentration and level of nadh-methaemoglobin reductase activity of three human erythrocyte genotypes (hbaa, hbas and hbss) were carried out in forty-three (43) healthy male participants of c...
