Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the genes for interleukin-4, -13 and interferon-gamma, and 21 additional SNPs which previously had been significantly associated with immune traits in the chicken, were genotyped in white and brown layer hens and analyzed for their association with helminth burden following natural infections. A nucleotide substitution located upstream of the promoter o...

Alcohol and aqueous extracts from the leaves of Argemone mexicana were investigated for their anthelmintic activity against Pheretima posthuma and Ascardia galli. Five concentrations (6.25, 12.5, 25, 50 and 100 mg/ml) of each extracts were studied in activity, which involved the determination of time of paralysis and time of death of the worms. Both the extracts exhibited significant anthelmint...

The effect of leaf detachment on chlorophyll fluorescence was analyzed for Zea mays, Cucumis sativus, Phaseolus vulgaris, and Echinochloa crus-galli. Results clearly indicate that detachment hastens the decrease in chlorophyll fluorescence during the course of chilling experiments. For maize and bean, the activity of photosystem II of chloroplasts isolated from detached leaves is lower than tha...

A series of novel 5-(4-hydroxybenzyl)-2-thioxoimidazolidin-4-one esters were synthesized under mild conditions by the reaction of 5-(4-hydroxybenzyl)-2-thioxoimidazolidin-4-one and carboxylic acids with DCC and DMAP as the promoters. Their structures were confirmed by ¹H-NMR, IR, ESI-MS and elemental analysis. The preliminary bioassy results indicated that some of compounds exhibit good herbici...
