This study aimed to identify Capsicum genotypes with resistance to bacterial spot (BS), anthracnose and Pepper yellow mosaic virus (PepYMV). Fifty-four genotypes of Capsicum spp were evaluated. Resistance reaction against BS was evaluated using three replicates, testing hypersensitivity and quantitative resistance in leaves. After evaluation, inoculated leaves were detached from the plants, bei...

A uniparentally inherited 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea (DCMU)-resistant mutant of Chlamydomonas reinhardii, Dr2, which has a resistance mechanism of the type defined as ;primary,' has been isolated. In vitro Hill reactions catalyzed by isolated thylakoid membranes reveal a reduced apparent affinity of the thylakoids for DCMU. These changes in membrane properties quantitatively accoun...

Objective(s): Clostridioides (Clostridium) difficile infection as a healthcare-associated infection can cause life-threatening infectious diarrhea in hospitalized patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the toxin profiles and antimicrobial resistance patterns of C. difficile isolates obtained from hospitalized patients in Shiraz, Iran.Mater...

Insulin resistance occurs frequently in patients with chronic kidney disease. However, the mechanisms of insulin resistance associated with chronic kidney disease are unclear. It is known that an increase in the mitochondrial acetyl-CoA (AcCoA)/CoA ratio causes insulin resistance in skeletal muscle, and this ratio is regulated by carnitine acetyltransferase that exchanges acetyl moiety between ...
