Background: The emergence and propagation of different phylogenetic groups of antimicrobial-resistant E. coli have become a worldwide health concern in human and veterinary medicine. Therefore, the evaluation of the phylogenetic distribution of antibiotic-resistant E. coli is important for therapeutic and economic purposes. The aims of this study were to determine phylogenetic groups and patter...

results the present work figured out that the heterogeneity of the quasispecies of our local strains 4a was high showing up 15% diversity. this study also showed four glycosylation sites that play an important role in the entry of the virus and protein folding. besides, different epitpoes were identified in different regions of the e1 and e2 domains; a finding which would help in determining th...

peanut plants showing mottling, yellow and necrotic spots on leaves were collected from peanut fields in golestan province. electron microscopic studies revealed the presence of flexuous filamentous particles ca. 700 nm in length, which was suggestive of a potyvirus infection. healthy nicotiana benthamiana plants mechanically inoculated with sap from infected peanut plants showed mottling, down...

salinity is one of the important problems in the world's agricultural land that each year millions tons of salt from the soil through crop irrigation arrive to arable lands. wheat is one of the first and most important cereal crops in the world that provide staple food for more than a third of the world's population. using modern genetic methods such as sequencing provided quickly and...

background: cockroaches are of vital importance medically and hygienically as they can disperse human patho­genic agents and are especially responsible for food contamination and spreading of food borne pathogens. in this study, part of mtdna-coi gene of five common pest cockroaches was tested for diagnostic and phylogenetic pur­poses. methods: we have described barcode region of mtdna-coi gene...

Background: Increasing worldwide contamination with hydrocarbons has urged environmental remediation using biological agents such as bacteria. Our goal here was to study the phylogenetic relationship of two crude oil degrader bacteria and investigation of their ability to degrade hydrocarbons. Materials and Methods: Phylogenetic relationship of isolates was determined using morphological and...

Abstract The forewing base structure of the orthopteran suborder Ensifera, a group insects well known for their sound-producing behavior, was examined by using light microscopy, confocal laser scanning and µCT. We detected significant novel characters, such as functional changes in tpm9 muscle from flexor to extensor that are likely associated with acquisition behavior forewings. Phylogenetic a...

Explaining community assembly mechanisms along elevational gradients dominated by deterministic processes or stochastic is a pressing challenge. Many studies suggest that phylogenetic and functional diversity are significant indicators of the process. In this study, we analyzed structure beta traits an gradient discussed effects environmental spatial factors. We found showed inconsistent change...
