chicory (cichoriumintybus l.) is an important industrial crop which is used for inulin production. inulin is widely applied as food ingredient due to its health promoting properties. for the first time, attempts were made to investigate thirteen endemic chicory genotypes including three pumilum populations, along with five root chicory cultivars, four witloof chicory varieties and a crispum end...

Highlight Research The parasitic disease has been record in snakehead fish (Channa striata) from South Kalimantan nematodes with needle shape on both tip end approximately 1 mm length and moving inside of wall cysts were found abdomen cavity flesh morphology the nematode was observed by light- scanning electron-microscope analysis 18S rRNA showed that this parasite is belonging to Tanqua tiara ...

Phylogenetic relationships are hotspots for orchid studies with controversial standpoints. Traditionally, the phylogenies of orchids are based on morphology and subjective factors. Although more reliable than classic phylogenic analyses, the current methods are based on a few gene markers and PCR amplification, which are labor intensive and cannot identify the placement of some species with deg...

Hypertriglyceridemia is defined as an abnormal concentration of triglycerides in blood and is a commonly encountered lipid abnormality frequently associated with other lipid and metabolic derangements. Prolonged hypertriglyceridemia may produce neuropathological and abnormal metabolic changes particularly in peripheral sensory nerves. In the present study, we evaluated the role of several prote...

Based on the computation of the influence function, a tool to measure the impact of each piece of sampled data on the statistical inference of a parameter, we propose to analyze the support of the maximum-likelihood (ML) tree for each site. We provide a new tool for filtering data sets (nucleotides, amino acids, and others) in the context of ML phylogenetic reconstructions. Because different si...

Assessing bacterial flora composition appears to be of increasing importance to fields as diverse as physiology, development, medicine, epidemiology, the environment, and the food industry. We report here the development and validation of an original microarray strategy that allows analysis of the phylogenic composition of complex bacterial mixtures. The microarray contains approximately 9,500 ...
