Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is a rapid method with high specificity and efficiency under isothermal condition using a set of four specifically designed primers that recognize six distinct sequences on the target gene. In this study, a LAMP method was developed for specific detection of Babesia orientalis in water buffalo (Bubalus babalis, Linnaeus, 1758). Four primers were des...

The C-banding karyotype of the jerboas Allactaga tetradactyla, Jaculus jaculus jaculus, and Jaculus orientalis was described and interspecific relationships were discussed. Despite the conservation of a relatively small amount of C-heterochromatin located at the centromeric region of some chromosomes in all karyotypes, a striking loss of C-heterochromatin was clearly observed in J. orientalis. ...

Bu çalışmada, doğu kayını (Fagus orientalis Lipsky.) fidanlarına arbusküler mikorizal fungus (AMF) aşılaması yapılmıştır. AMF aşılı ve aşısız tüplü fidanlar Yenice yöresinde 3 farklı yükselti kademesine (200-400 m, 400-600 m 600-800 m) dikilmiş arazi performansları izlenmiştir. Hem kademelerinin kendi içinde hem de arasında karşılaştırmalar yapılmış fidanlıkta kantitatif karakterler (yükselti, ...

Earthworms were collected in forests, damp habitats, springs, orchards and agricultural fields of the Kohgiluyeh & Boyer Ahmad Province, Iran, from April 2009 to April 2010. Specimens were collected at 20 established stations by digging and by diluted formalin methods. Ten species belonging to family Lumbricidae were identified based on morphology: Aporrectodea caliginosa (Savigny, 1826), Ap. r...
