pod borer is one of the main factors for yield decrease of chickpea. therefore, breeding of chickpea for resistance to this pest is important. modified cry1ac gene of bacillus thuringiensis in pcry1ac-nptii plasmid containing twin t-dna for cry1ac and nptii genes have been used for transformation of chickpea. at last 38 plants had nptii gene that 36 plants of them had cry1ac gene and two plants...

one of the important technical obstacles in the study of many filamentous fungi is the development of efficient transformation system. transformation of filamentous fungi is difficult because they have a cell wall and for most frequently used approaches preparing of protoplast is necessary. protoplast preparation is batch-dependent and often frustrating work. in this study, a modified method wa...

here, the concept of quantum potential that has been illustrated in extended phase space (eps) in previous works is explored for its marginal behavior. unlike in configuration space, different representations of the quantum mechanics can be found in eps when exploiting appropriate canonical transformations. these canonical transformations revealed that there exist several representations in whi...

agrobacterium tumefaciens mediated transformation may offer a better alternative than the biolistic gun for genetic transformation of maize plants. this gene delivery system results in a greater proportion of stable, low-copy number transgenic events than does the biolistic gun, and is highly efficient. in the present work, we studied maize transformation using a. tumefaciens by identifying som...

single-walled carbon nanotubes (swcnt) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes(mwcnt) were melt-blended with polyvinylidene fluoride (pvdf).ft-ir technique revealed that swcnt has insignificant effect on the crystalline structure of pvdf and at 3wt% modification only 14% beta crystal isformed. this observation was accounted for by the chair structure of swcnt. in mwcnt nancomposites it was found that...

In the present study effect of feeding area specific mineral mixture on the serum mineral status of cattle in different agro climatic zones (plateau, plain and hills) of Chhattisgarh state was studied. The soil and fodder mineral status of different zones were analyzed. Macro minerals were below desired level in soil of hill region followed by plateau and plain whereas Mg level in soils of diff...

background: to investigate the relationship between renal stone formation and osteoporosis. methods: eight hundred thirty healthy subjects aged between 20 and 76 years were randomly selected from 50 clusters to take part in the study. of these, 68 (8.2%) had a previous history of renal stone disease. all participants underwent clinical exami nation and bone mineral densitometry of the lumbar sp...

background : the role of minerals on parasite persistency and the interaction between minerals and animal responses to the parasite infestation is not clear. for these reasons, the present re­search was aimed to compare copper, zinc and iron status in sheep with parasitic myocarditis and healthy ones in 2009. methods : blood and heart tissue samples were collected from 145 slaughtered sheep and...
