Genetic interrelatedness among 13 strains of mycoplasmalike organisms (MLOs) from various sources was evaluated by dot hybridization and restriction fragment length polymorphism analyses using cloned DNA probes derived from Canadian peach X (CX) and western X (WX) MLOs. Dot hybridization analysis indicated that CX, WX, and clover yellow edge MLOs are closely related and form a distinct strain c...

Criconemella xenoplax, Fusarium solani, and F. oxysporum caused necrosis of Nemaguard peach feeder roots in greenhouse tests. Root necrosis was more extensive in the presence of either fungus than wtih C. xenoplax alone. Shoot growth and plant height were less for plants inoculated with F. oxysporum or F. solani than for plants inoculated with the fungi plus C. xenoplax. Neither synergistic nor...

Salicornia is a wild and annual (biennial, in some species) halophytic plant from Chenopodiaceae family that grows near salt marshes salted wetlands or the vicinity of coastal areas Asia, North America, Middle East. It also grown semi-arid Iran such as Isfahan, Fars, Yazd provinces. Genetic variability populations, structure were studied 10 geographical populations persica. diversity parameters...

Background and objectives: Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is a common disease of the nonkeratinized oral mucosa characterized by painful ulcerations and inflammation, causing difficulty in eating, swallowing, and speaking. Symptomatic treatment is considered for this disease due to the ambiguity of the exact etiology. The beneficial therapeutic effects of Persica and Propolis mouthwashes l...

The species Gracilariopsis persica was first described by Bellorin et al. (2008). G. persica grows from late September to July and shows high growth rate from January to May in the Persian Gulf. Tissue growth and branch induction of red seaweed, Gracilariopsis persica from the Persian Gulf investigated under various culture levels of temperature, light intensity, photoperiod, salinity, initial ...

background: relapsing fever caused by borrelia persica , is an acute tick-borne disease which is transmitted by soft ticks of ornithodoros tholozani to human.     methods: value of pcr and xenodiagnosis for detection of b. persica in o. tholozani ticks was compared. sixty-four bor­relia -free ticks were fed on infected guinea pigs and used for the experiments. for xenodiagnosis, a group of 32 t...
