Luffa cylindrica (L.) Roem. is an economically important vegetable crop in China. However, the genomic information on this species is currently unknown. In this study, for the first time, a genome survey of L. cylindrica was carried out using next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology. In total, 43.40 Gb sequence data of L. cylindrica, about 54.94× coverage of the estimated genome size of 789....

Glutamine synthetase has been purified to homogeneity from two N,-fixing cyanobacteria, Anabaena cylindrica and a species of Nostoc (the phycobiont of Peltigera canina). The activities of the A . cylindrica enzyme in the biosynthetic and transferase assays were, respectively, 9-4 and 32 pmol product formed min-l (mg protein)-l; the corresponding values for the Nostoc sp. enzyme were 6.5 and 20....

The wild-relative gene pools of wheat are a rich source of genetic variation for wheat improvement.Karyotypes of eight genotypes of Triticum monococcum subsp. aegilopoides and eight genotypes of Aegilops cylindrica,which grown wild next to each other in different regions in the west of Iran were studied. Root tips were treated in α-bromonaphthalene solution, fixed in chromic acid-formaldehyde f...

We reviewed the conservation status of rare and endangered species of mussels in southeastern Oklahoma by completing surveys of 10 long-term monitoring sites on the Kiamichi River and five sites in the Little River. We found extant populations of the Ouachita rock pocketbook, Arkansia wheeleri, scaleshell, Leptodea leptodon, winged mapleleaf, Quadrula fragosa, and rabbitsfoot, Quadrula cylindri...

This paper deals with an inspection of defects including corrosion and leakage by Acoustic Emission (AE) in an oil tank floor. In contrast to intrusive methods such as magnetic flux leakage, eddy current or ultrasonic, there is no need to emptying and entering the tank in AE method in order to inspection. In this research AE investigation and AE source location is presented in detail. The resul...

Marine algae are significant ingredients to formulate drugs for treating disease as they possess various bioactive potentials. Different marine algae (Laurencia papillosa and cylindrica (red algae) were collected from Red Sea (Faied and Ein Al-SokhnaSuez). Ulva fasciata (green algae) was collected from the Mediterranean Sea (Abu-Qir near Alexandria) and Dilophus fasciola (brown algae) was colle...

Transposable elements (TEs) represent a major fraction of plant genomes and drive their evolution. An improved understanding of genome evolution requires the dynamics of a large number of TE families to be considered. We put forward an approach bypassing the required step of a complete reference genome to assess the evolutionary trajectories of high copy number TE families from genome snapshot ...

ABSTRACT Although the isolated effects of cyanobacteria Anabaena cylindrica and bacteria Azospirillum brasilense are well-known, co-inoculation both can promote other benefits to corn plants’ biological nitrogen fixation growth. The aim was evaluate initial growth chloroplast pigment levels hybrids co-inoculated with A. cylindrica. experiment conducted in greenhouse conditions using completely ...
