The hypoxic brain damage induced by stroke is followed by an ischemia-reperfusion injury modulated by oxidative stress. Magnetoencephalographic (MEG) recording of rest and evoked cortical activities is a sensitive method to analyse functional changes following the acute ischemic damage. We aimed at investigating whether MEG signals are related to oxidative stress compounds in acute stroke. Eigh...

genetic diversity of six populations of bartail flathead (platycephalus indicus linnaeus, 1758) was investigated using amplified fragment length polymorphism (aflp). a total of 118 reproducible bands amplified with ten aflp primer combinations were obtained from 42 fishes that were collected from six different locations in the northern part of the persian gulf. the percentage of polymorphic ban...

micropropagated plantlets derived from three different grape rootstock genotypes namely, dogridge (vitis champini), so4 (v. berlandieri×v. rupestris) and ari-h-144 (v. vinifera×v. labrusca) were subjected to randomly amplified polymorphic dna (rapd) and inter simple sequence repeats (issr) analyses in order to evaluate their genetic stability and/or detect likely existing variations among in vi...

We employed RAPD and sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) markers to evaluate polymorphisms in 15 tomato (Solanum lycopersicon) genotypes that were obtained from a tomato breeding program. Four local tomato genotypes selected from the Sanliurfa province (Southeastern Anatolia Region of Turkey), 10 heat-tolerant tomato genotypes, received from the Asian Vegetable Research and Developme...

Bilophila wadsworthia isolates recovered from a right-ear cholesteatoma and brain abscess of the same patient were analyzed by means of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) fingerprinting with single primers (T3B and M13 core) to ascertain if they originated from the same clone. Their PCR fingerprint profiles were compared with those of three additional B. wadsworthia clinical isolates and the type ...

In present investigations molecular characterization of seven Pieridae butterflies was carried out using four RAPD markers. A total 57 bands were scored with four decamer primers of which 57 were polymorphic and the percentage of polymorphism was 100%. Genus specific bands have been observed i.e. a band of 818bp with primer 12 & 520bp with primer OPP-5. Dendrogram constructed using the NTSYSspc...

Whitefly, Bemisia tabaci is an important sucking pest of field, horticultural and ornamental plants causing feeding injuries besides spreading disease by acting as a vector of Gemini viruses. The polyphagous nature of the pest makes it as a highly complex species. The influence of six host plants utilized by the species on the population differences at molecular level was attempted using Random...

The lethal gene 'Luteus-Pa' is found in cacao genotypes (Theobroma cacao) of the Parinari (Pa) series, from Peru. Seedlings affected by this gene have yellowing leaves and subsequently die. We mapped this gene based on microsatellite markers and RAPDs, in order to elucidate the inheritance of 'Luteus-Pa' and investigate possible lethal mechanisms. DNA samples of genitors were amplified with 87 ...

Kumar A, Verma N. 2012. A comparative phylogenetic analysis of medicinal plant Tribulus terrestris in Northwest India revealed by RAPD and ISSR markers. Biodiversitas 13: 107-113. Several DNA marker systems and associated techniques are available today for fingerprinting of plant varieties. A total of 5 RAPD and 8 ISSR primers were used. Amplification of genomic DNA of the 6 genotypes, using RA...
