Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers were used to study the genetic diversity and discriminate among 17 unknown genotypes (considered potentially salt tolerant) and 16 known olive cultivars. Fifteen decamer primers which produced 38 reproducible polymorphic bands in the genotypes were selected for analysis. The RAPD markers resulted in 93 distinct banding patterns. Based on either ...

The diagnosis of cutaneous and subcutaneous spindle cell neoplasms in children is often challenging has potential therapeutic prognostic implications. Although correctly diagnosing dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans infantile fibrosarcoma paramount, pathologists should not ignore a number diagnostic pitfalls linked to mostly rare tumors with completely different clinical outcomes. In the last deca...

Many aquatic plant species are distributed over large areas and diverse environments with populations interconnected by abiotic and biotic mediators. Here, we examined differences and similarities in the population genetic structure of six sympatric and widespread aquatic plant species. We sampled the aquatic species from six Chinese lakes found on plateaus, plains, and different river systems ...

ziziphora tenuior, named kakooti in farsi, is one of the aromatic and medicinal plants of a wide distribution in iran. in this study, rapd molecular markers, (by utilization of 16 primers) was applied to determine the genetic diversity of 39 samples of ziziphora tenuior from 21 geographical regions in iran. a number of 100 polymorphic bands out of 110 amplified ones was produced and analyzed th...

Environmental gradients are important factors that can potentially influence the genetic diversity and differentiation of populations. The present study examines effect environmental heterogeneity Hyrcanian forests on populations Circaea lutetiana L. (Onagraceae). Using morphometrics, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) leaf epidermis, molecular markers, we analyzed among nine from environmental...

The study of distinctive and consistent behaviors in the most common genetic syndromes with intellectual disability is useful to explain abnormalities or associated psychiatric disorders. The behavioral phenotypes revealed outcomes totally or partially specific for each syndrome. The aim of our study was to compare similarities and differences in the adaptive profiles of the five most frequent ...

Ten novel loci have been found to be associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) susceptibility by a recent genome-wide association study conducted in Europeans. To test their disease associations and genetic similarities/differences in Asians and Europeans, we genotyped the 10 novel single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and performed an association study. A Chinese cohort from Northern...

Pfeiffer syndrome is an autosomal dominant condition classically combining craniosynostosis with digital anomalies of the hands and feet. The majority of cases are caused by heterozygous mutations in the third immunoglobulin-like domain (IgIII) of FGFR2, whilst a small number of cases can be attributed to mutations outside this region of the protein. A mild form of Pfeiffer syndrome can rarely ...
