identification and evaluation of indigenous genotypes of fruit trees are matter of consideration at the first step of the breeding programs. in order to study genetic diversity and to identify promising genotypes, 14 different genotypes of walnut in minoodasht region in golestan province (north of iran) were evaluated. traits such as nut shape, kernel color, ease of removal of kernel halves, ke...

BACKGROUND Nuclear protein in testis (NUT) midline carcinomas (NMC) are rare, highly aggressive epithelial neoplasms, characterised by protein expression of NUT-fusion proteins which reflects the genetic translocation between chromosome 15 and 19. NMC occurs mainly in midline structures, but there are reports regarding occurrence in structures outside the midline. We investigated specimens from...

In this study, we determined the nutritional and functional characteristics of cookies supplemented with chichá almond, gurguéia nut, soursop residue using two developed cookie formulations one standard formulation. Acceptance purchase intention were evaluated. As almond 6 nut 2 sensorially viable, descriptive quantitative analysis, centesimal composition caloric value, mineral levels, microbio...

The effect of three salicylic acid (0, 50 and 100 mg l-1) and K2SO4 (0, 0.1 and 0.2 %) levels on some characteristics nut and physiological parameters of pistachio trees cv. ‘Owhadi’ were investigated. Treatments were applied at endospermic growth stage of seed and cotyledons appearance. The results showed that potassium increase yield, splitting percentage; nut fresh mass and kernel dry mass a...

The areca nut, fruit of the oriental palm (Areca catechu), also called 'betel' nut in English, supari in Hindi, adike or betta in Kannada, adakka in Malayalam, and pakku in Tamil, is commonly used in India (FRLHT.org, 2015) and needs no introduction. It is used in traditional quids (beeda) wrapped in betel leaves (Piper betle) or as tobacco and areca nut mixtures. Areca nut is also used per se ...

Areca nut (seed of Areca catechu) is consumed by people from different parts of Asia, including India. The four major alkaloids present in areca nut are arecoline, arecaidine, guvacoline and guvacine. Upon cutting, the nut reveals two kinds of regions; white and brown. In our present study, we have monitored the formation of these two regions within the nut during maturation, using the non-inva...

NUT midline carcinomas (NMCs) comprise a group of highly aggressive tumors that have been reported primarily in the head, neck, and mediastinum of younger individuals. These tumors overexpress the nuclear protein in the testis (NUT), most commonly due to a chromosomal translocation that fuses the NUT gene on chromosome 15 with the BRD4 gene on chromosome 19. Although the earliest recognized cas...

Gene expression in lambdoid phages in part is controlled by transcription antitermination. For most lambdoid phages, maximal expression of delayed early genes requires an RNA polymerase modified by the phage N and host Nus proteins at RNA NUT sites. The NUT sites (NUTL and NUTR) are made up of three elements: BOXA, BOXB and an intervening spacer sequence. We report on N antitermination in H-19B...

Nuclear protein of the testis (NUT) midline carcinoma can present in the head, neck, and mediastinum. In general, it presents in young adult men and has a poor prognosis. We report on a case of NUT midline carcinoma of the mediastinum in a man 27 years of age without any prior malignancy. Due to the location of the tumor, mediastinal lymphoma and germ cell tumor were initially considered; howev...
