We cloned DNA fragments of sisomicin-producing Micromonospora inyoensis into Streptomyces plasmid vectors and identified Streptomyces lividans TK24 transformants expressing the M. inyoensis sisomicin-resistance (sisA) gene. The sisA gene was compared to the previously reported Micromonospora purpurea Kan-Gen (kanamycin-gentamicin)-resistance gene. While the restriction endonuclease digestion pa...

in order to assess the immunopathological effects of aqueous echinacea purpurea extract (epe) on mice experimentally challenged with pasteurella multocida serotype a, forty female balb/c mice were randomly divided into four groups. the groups included a control group (received sterile distilled water 2 times/week for 2 weeks, intraperitoneally and then 100 μl sterile saline intranasally), a pma...

The study involved seven species and cultivars of ornamental apple trees including Malus × floribunda, M. halliana, niedzwetzkyana, purpurea, purpurea ‘Ola’, ‘Royalty’, ‘Selkirk’. average value increment, length, duration shoots’ growth were determined to characterize the seasonal shoots. percentages rooted cuttings, callus formation without roots, unviable cuttings registered for each investig...
