Maintaining high reproductive output in diverse conditions has consistently been found to promote invasiveness in introduced taxa. Following on this key observation, studies have compared the performance across environments of invasive vs. native congeners, and of introduced vs. native populations within invasive species. Performance differences among genotypes within introduced species have re...

BACKGROUND Polymorphisms in CYP2C19 are related to the metabolic oxidation of drugs to varying degrees. The CYP3A4*18, CYP3A5*3, and MDR1-3435 variant alleles are very important, particularly in tacrolimus metabolism in organ transplant rejection. AIM The aim of this study is o explore possible interactions among different CYP2C19 genotypes, namely, between homozygous extensive metabolizers (...

Beet powdery mildew incited by Erysiphe betae is a serious foliar fungal disease of worldwide distribution causing losses of up to 30%. In the present work, we searched for resistance in a germplasm collection of 184 genotypes of Beta vulgaris including fodder (51 genotypes), garden (60 genotypes), leaf (51 genotypes), and sugar (22 genotypes) beet types. Resistant genotypes were identified in ...

aim : the aim of the present study was to determine the species and genotypes of cryptosporidium spp. among children with diarrhea by pcr- rflp using the trap-c2 gene. background : cryptosporidium is a globally distributed protozoan parasite and one of the most common causes of infection and diarrhea in humans. patients and methods : four hundred and sixty nine stool samples were collected from...

conclusions our study shows that prevalence of hpv infection in cervical biopsy samples collected from suspected patients in khouzestan province is slightly higher than other provinces of iran. since hpv cervical infection, is an indicator for the host cervical cancer progression, parallel with pap smear test, pcr detection of hpv dna in biopsy of suspected cases is recommended. results out of ...

Abilities to detect heterogeneity of ospC genotypes of the Lyme disease spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi in the tick vector by in vitro culture (IVC) and direct PCR (dPCR) were compared. IVC failed to detect one-third of the ospC genotypes detected by dPCR. Among IVC results, common ospC genotypes were overrepresented while occurrence of rare genotypes was underestimated.

Determination of S-allele combinations of sweet cherry genotypes and cultivars has importance for both growers and breeders. We determined S-allele combinations of 40 local Turkish sweet cherry genotypes using a PCR-based method. Ten different S-alleles were detected. Although the most common S-allele was S3, as also found in Western genotypes and cultivars, there were some differences in the f...

The genetic divergence among 36 genotypes of bitter gourd (Momordica charantia L.) was determined through PCA, PCO, CVA, Cluster analysis (CLSA) and Mohalanobis’s D analysis. Through multivariate analysis based on 22 characters 36 genotypes were grouped into six distant clusters. Cluster VI includes maximum genotypes (12) followed by cluster I (6) and cluster II (6). Cluster V, cluster III and ...
