low phosphorous (p) availability in soils limits production of soybean [glycine max (l.) merr.] around the world. this study was conducted to determine whether exogenous expression of the rice (oryza sativa l.) phosphates transporter gene ospt2 would increase inorganic phosphates (pi) acquisition and improve yield in transgenic soybean. cotyledonary-node explants of the soybean were inoculated ...

objective: the aim of this study was to estimate genetic variability and phonetic relationships of 50 isolates of p. sojae from iran. methods: during 2005–2007, 142 isolates of phytophthora sojae were collected from soil samples and diseased soybean plants from lorestan, mazandaran, golestan and ardabil provinces. races of the isolates were determined. dna of p. sojae fifty isolates was amplifi...

anthrax, a zoonotic disease caused by bacillus anthracis, has affected humans since ancient times. for genomic characterization of razi b. anthracis sterne 34f2 substrain, single nucleotide polymorphism (snp) genotyping method developed by van erth, variable-number tandem-repeat (vntr)-8 analysis proposed by keim, and multiple-locus vntr analysis (mlva)-3 introduced by levy were employed. in th...
