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...

genetic diversity relationships of 50 isolates of cytospora schulzeri on apple from different parts of the semirom region were analyzed using 15 polymerase chain reaction (pcr) based markers, 7 random amplified polymorphic dnas (rapds) and 8 microsatellite primed polymerase chain reaction (mp-pcr). using 7 selected rapd primers 113 bands were generated, of which 81 bands were polymorphic (71.7%...

Huntington's disease (HD) is caused by an abnormal expanded polyglutamine (polyQ) repeat in the huntingtin protein. Insulin-like growth factor-1 acting through the prosurvival kinase Akt mediates the phosphorylation of huntingtin at S421 and inhibits the toxicity of polyQ-expanded huntingtin in cell culture, suggesting that compounds enhancing phosphorylation are of therapeutic interest. Howeve...

A novel peptide mapping approach has been used to map sites of charge modification to major structural domains of regulatory subunit (R) of type I cAMP-dependent protein kinase from S49 mouse lymphoma cells. Proteolytic fragments of crude, radiolabeled R were purified by cAMP affinity chromatography and displayed by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. [35S]methionine-labeled pep...

Three different DNA-based techniques, Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD), Inter Simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR) and Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) markers, were used for fingerprinting Dactylis glomerata genotypes and for detecting genetic variation between the three different subspecies. In this study, RAPD assays produced 97 bands, of which 40 were polymorphic (41.2%). The I...

Objective: The aim of this study was to estimate genetic variability and phonetic relationships of 50 isolates of P. sojae from Iran. Methods: During 2005–2007, 142 isolates of Phytophthora sojae were collected from soil samples and diseased soybean plants from Lorestan, Mazandaran, Golestan and Ardabil provinces. Races of the isolates were determined. DNA of P. sojae...

The combined use of the arbitrarily primed polymerase chain reaction [AP-PCR, also known as random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD}] and isozyme mapping resulted in the production of 87 potential marker loci, enabling an overall expansion within the genetic map of the fish genus Xiphophorus. Use of DNA sequencing-style acrylamide gels and carefully controlled conditions of amplification ...
