To understand the functions of rice homologues of the Arabidopsis flowering-time gene CONSTANS (CO) and salt-tolerance gene STO, we performed a similarity search of the single-run sequence data of cDNA clones accumulated by the Rice Genome Research Program, and isolated seven rice cDNA clones (S3574, C60910, S12569, R2931, R1479, R1577, and E10707) coding for proteins containing one of two zinc...

crustacean hemocyanins represent a unique case of molecular heterogeneity among oxygen-carrying proteins. two populations of gammarus lacustris and six populations of gammarus komareki were identified and isolated from aquatic habitats of ardabil (northwest of iran). the populations were nominated based on name of isolated region. principal component analysis of morphological absolute attribute...

Non-specific lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) constitute a large protein family in plants characterized by having tunnel-like hydrophobic cavity, which allows them to different molecules. LTPs have been studied various model including those of agronomic interest. Recent studies demonstrated that play key functions both biotic and abiotic stress. In plants-pathogen interaction, they act as either ...

Objectives: Epidemics create a lot of social and behavioral changes in all areas, sport is no exception. The aim of this study is understanding lived experience of athletic older adults in Tehran from COVID-19 pandemic. Methods and Materials: The research was carried out by the qualitative method and through a phenomenological approach. The participants were 16 Athletic older adults in Tehran ...

Endophytic bacteria from three arboreal species native to the Amazon (Carapa guianenses, Ceiba pentandra, and Swietenia macrophylla), were isolated and identified, through partial sequencing of the 16S rRNA encoding gene. From these, 16 isolates were obtained, although, when compared to sequences deposited in GenBank, only seven had produced identifiable fragments. Bacillus, Pantoea and two non...

Late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) genes display distinct functions in response to abiotic stresses plants. In pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.), a total of 21 PgLEA were identified and classified into six groups including LEA1, LEA2, LEA3, LEA5, LEA7, dehydrins (DHN). Open reading frames (ORFs) PgLEAs range from 291 bp (PgLEA1-1) 945 (PgLEA2-11) distributed randomly among the seven chromosom...

BACKGROUND The number of patients with endometrial carcinoma (EmCa) with advanced stage or high histological grade is increasing and prognosis has not improved for over the last decade. There is an urgent need for the discovery of novel molecular targets for diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of EmCa, which will have the potential to improve the clinical strategy and outcome of this disease. ...
