Hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotypes E to J are understudied genotypes. Genotype is found almost exclusively in West Africa. Genotypes F and H America rare other parts of the world. The distribution genotype G not completely known. I Asia probably result from recombination events with number reported sequences for HBV small compared genotypes, which could impact phylogenetic pairwise distance anal...

INTRODUCTION Various cases of self-inflicted foreign bodies in the male urethra have been reported. Most of them are associated with autoerotic stimulation, psychiatric disorders or intoxication. CASE PRESENTATION We report the first case of a patient who put an Allen key completely in his urethra. The patient presented with dysuria, haematuria and penile pain. CONCLUSION A self-inflicted u...

In order to study the genetic diversity in rice (Oryza sativa L.), 29 genotypes consisting land races, pure and improved lines were evaluated using simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. A total of 30 SSR primers were used to amplify some part of rice genome in germplasms, the PIC values ranged from 0.07 (RM 340) to 0.71 (RM 7426) with an average of 0.45. The results showed a total number of 106...

self-incompatibility is one of the main problems in almond production. in this research work, at the first step, some local cultivars as well as some imported ones were evaluated from the point of their male and female organ compatibility. then, ten selected commercial self-incompatible cultivars(female parents) were crossed with two self-compatible cultivars(male parents) i. e. tuono and super...

rapid germination is an important factor determining the final yield. the most important abiotic stress threatening lentils is drought and temperature. therefore, this study was performed with the aim of investigating effects various thermal treatments (5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30°c) and four levels of drought (0, -4, -8, -12 and -16 bar) on percentage and germination rate of lentil genotypes. a s...

Nineteen safflower genotypes (Carthamus tinctorius L.) that originated from different geographical regions were screening for their response to infection with Macrophomina phaseolina, the charcoal rot pathogen at the research farm of Gorgan University of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources, Gorgan, Iran, in 2005. The plants were evaluated for length and width of necrotic lesion at the e...

a comparative study was conducted to find a reliable and simple method for evaluation of resistance of sugar beet genotypes to rhizoctonia root and crown rot. for this, 12 sugar beet genotypes were used in greenhouse, field and in vitro experiments. the field experiment was performed in micro plots (1×1×2 meter) using randomized complete block design with 4 replications. prior to planting, the ...

The objective of this work was to characterize the morphology and viability of the pollen of 15 genotypes of castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) and to generate information that can assist in the selection of highly promising male parents for future use in genetic improvement programs aimed at producing seeds for oil extraction. Acetolysis and scanning electron microscopy was used to characterize...

ABSTRACT The objective was to evaluate the intake and digestibility of nutrients, ingestive behavior, performance goats fed with spineless cactus genotypes resistant carmine cochineal (Miúda or Orelha de Elefante Mexicana (OEM). Thirty castrated male goats, without defined breed, aged 12 14 months, an average body weight 19.0±2.8kg, were distributed in a completely randomized design among three...
