A new species of Rafflesia (Rafflesiaceae) from Mt. Benom Forest Reserve, Ulu Dong, Raub, Pahang, tunku-azizahiae Adam, Aizat-Juhari & Wan is described and illustrated. Cluster analysis principal component showed that R. tuanku-halimii are closely related morphologically, characterized by perigone lobes covered rows very spaced coalesced white warts, windows wholly rings warts. Score plot b...

Strawberry ( Fragaria × ananassa ) seedlings from 50 bi-parental crosses among 20 elite genotypes were evaluated for resistance to Phytophthora cactorum after artificial inoculation. Plots of seedlings or runner plants were rated using a disease severity score and the percentage of stunted plants per plot. The distribution of cross means for percentages of plants with stunting was highly skewed...

Comprehensive extraction coupled to NMR metabolomics was applied to the identification of active compounds from Morus alba stem bark binding to the adenosine A1 receptor. Orthogonal projection to the least square (OPLS) analysis was used to estimate which compounds significantly correlate with the activity. Based on the loading bi-plot and Y-related coefficient plot, unsaturated fatty acid sign...

In order to identify stable short duration rice genotypes across different agro-climatic zones in Telangana state, Additive Main Effects and Multiplicative Interaction Models (AMMI) GGE Bi-plot analyses was performed. Analysis of variance clearly revealed that contributed highest (34.57 %) followed by environments (32.31 genotype environment interaction (17.10 total sum squares indicating very ...

background: the aim of the present study was to investigate the in vitro effects of mercury (hg+2), lead (pb+2), silver (ag+2), tin (sn+2), bismuth (bi+3) and indium (in+3) ions on sperm creatine kinase. methods: creatine kinase was isolated from human sperm homogenates after chromatography on a deae cellulose column. results: at 60 µg ml-1 metal concentration, 70% of the creatine kinase activi...
