background and objectives: avian tuberculosis is one of the most important infections affecting most species of birds. mycobacterium avium can not only infect all species of birds, but also infect some domesticated mammals.the most crucial aspect of control and eradication scheme is identification of infection sources and transmission routs. mo- lecular techniques such as restriction fragment l...

objective(s):leptin receptor (lepr) is a member of the class i cytokine receptor super-family that is known implicated in the initiation and progression of breast cancer. we have investigated the effect of q223r polymorphism on the breast cancer susceptibly in a sample of iranian subjects. materials and methods:we utilized a polymerase chain reaction (pcr) restriction fragment length polymorphi...

Soil fungal community structures are often highly heterogeneous even among samples taken from small field plots. Sample pooling is widely used in order to overcome this heterogeneity, however, no objective criteria have yet been defined on how to determine the number of samples to be pooled for representatively profiling a field plot. In the present study PCR/RFLP and T-RFLP analysis of fungal ...

ABSTRACT The barley cv. Bolivia carries two leaf rust (Puccinia hordei) resistance genes, Rph2 and Rph6, and is the only known source of the latter gene. A resistant line (Bolivia-Rph6) carrying Rph6 only was obtained in the F(4) generation of a cross between cv. Bolivia and the susceptible cv. Bowman via progeny testing with differential isolates of the leaf rust pathogen. Genetic analyses and...
