Zeytin Genetik Kaynaklarıyla ilgili Zeytincilik Araştırma Enstitüsünde ilk çalışmalar 1968 yılında başlamıştır. Yapılan survey çalışmaları ile belirlenen tiplerden aşı kalemleri alınarak fidanlarının Enstitüde dikimleri gerçekleşmiştir. Antalya ilinde 2016 yapılan çalışmasında Manavgat ilçesinde “Beylik” zeytini olarak bilinen yeni bir tip tespit edilmiştir. Bu yerel çeşidi kimliklendirmek amac...

Hybridization refers to the crossing breeding of two plants. Coefficient of Parentage (COP) is used by the plant breeders to determine the genetic diversity across various varieties so as to incorporate the useful characters of the two varieties to develop a new crop variety with particular useful characters. Genetic Diversity is the prerequisite for any cultivar development program. Genetic Di...

low water consumption in autumn sugar beet sowing is an important strategy for sugar beet production, especially in arid regions like iran. for the development of a new monogerm triploid hybrid called sharif which is bolting tolerant and suitable for autumn sowing in khuzestan province, a breeding program was started in 1994 and continued for16 years. this program had two stages; the first stag...

Detailed observations of a growing number of supernovae have determined a bloom of new peculiar events. In this paper we take a short tour through the SN diversity and discuss some important, physical issues related to it. Because of the role of SN Ia in determining the cosmological parameters, it is crucial to understand the physical origin of even subtle, observed differences. An important is...

The word “optimization” is cropping up in a wide variety of settings, especially advertisements for decision support and enterprise resources planning software. The problems being addressed are extremely complex and consequently the models being optimized can be at best an approximation of the goals of the organization and its shareholders. In such an environment, a decision maker would often b...

red fleshed apples have high levels of anthocyanins in their flesh. iran enjoys a large variety of these apples due to its location in central asia. in the present study, 20 genotypes including eight iranian red fleshed and 12 commercial iranian and foreign apples were selected for the study of genetic diversity of red fleshed apples. we used a set of 11 microsatellite markers (ssrs) to determi...

A case of a 25 year old man with the black variety of trichomicosis pubis is presented on account of its extreme rareity. Scanning electron microscopy confirms that trichomicosis pubis is caused by bacterial colonisation of the pubic hair and shows that bacteria are able to penetrate cuticular horny cells directly through their free plasma membrane.

This issue of Neurology ® : Neuroimmunology and Neu-roinflammation (N2) includes a wide variety of exciting articles. As usual, I had difficulty selecting the articles to highlight in this Editor's Corner, which is aimed to reflect the range of topics rather than imply a higher quality of the selected manuscripts. One of the treatments frequently used in neuro-myelitis optica (NMO) is rituximab...
