We have previously demonstrated that systemic administration of testosterone increases the rate of axonal regeneration following facial nerve crush in adult male hamsters. In this investigation, the molecular mechanisms by which androgens may enhance axonal regeneration were examined. Specifically, the following question was addressed using Northern blot and in situ hybridization with three cyt...

in this report, β-tubulin gene polymorphism was investigated in haemonchus contortus  populations isolated from sheep flocks in different regions of khouzestan province, southwestern iran. the samples were chosen on the basis of regional variation in benzimidazole treatment background of sheep flocks. our objective was to study the relationship between treatment background andβ -tubulin gene po...

Serpula himantioides is a widely distributed saprotrophic fungus that causes root and butt rot in various tree species. In Japan, associated with S. observed Chamaecyparis pisifera Abies sachalinensis. Previous studies have shown includes five phylogenetically defined cryptic lineages, but the placement of Japanese isolates remains unclear. To clarify phylogenetic relationship between known we ...

Changes in gene expression were investigated in axotomized CNS neurons under conditions that inhibit or permit regrowth of their damaged axons. Levels of mRNA encoding beta-tubulin, the 150 kDa neurofilament subunit (NF-M), and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) were examined by quantitative in situ hybridization of adult rat retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) after axotomy in the opti...

The yeast protein Rbl2p suppresses the deleterious effects of excess beta-tubulin as efficiently as does alpha-tubulin. Both in vivo and in vitro, Rbl2p forms a complex with beta-tubulin that does not contain alpha-tubulin, thus defining a second pool of beta-tubulin in the cell. Formation of the complex depends upon the conformation of beta-tubulin. Newly synthesized beta-tubulin can bind to R...

Ghaderi F, Hasehemi SAA (2022) Phytophthora citricola as the causal agent of persimmon root rot in Fars province of Iran. Plant Pathology Science 11(2): 1-10.   Doi: 10.2982/PPS.11.2.1   Introduction: Phytophthora species are a serious threat to plant products worldwide. Therefore, identifying them is the first step in finding a way to treat the disease. The aim of this study was to identify ...

An altered beta-tubulin gene that confers resistance to the fungicide benomyl was isolated from a genomic library of a UV-induced mutant of Cercospora kikuchii and used as a selectable marker for transformation. The level of benomyl resistance conferred to the transformants was at least 150-fold greater than the intrinsic resistance of the C. kikuchii recipient protoplasts. In the majority of c...
