1 Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) and microsatellites (simple sequence repeats; SSRs) are useful methods for studying genetic diversity of willow (Salix spp.). AFLP delivers a large number of data points from a single experiment and is a useful method for distinguishing between closely related individuals. SSR markers are very robust tools, and we have identified several markers t...

A rust fungus was found causing stem cankers on 1to 5-year-old stems of Salix elbursensis in the north west of Iran. The rust also forms uredinia on leaves and flowers of the host willow. Light and scanning electron microscopy revealed that the new rust is morphologically distinct from several Melampsora species occurring on the willows taxonomically close to S. elbursensis, but indistinguishab...

Engineered levee breaches on the lower Cosumnes River, Central California, create hydrologic and geomorphic conditions necessary to construct dynamic sand splay complexes on the floodplain. Sand splay complexes are composed of a network of main and secondary distributary channels that transport sediment during floods. The main channel is bounded by lateral levees that flank the breach opening. ...

We report the case of a 4-years-old boy who was admitted with hypovolemic shock due to a severe gastrointestinal bleeding. The esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGDS) showed hiatus hernia, erosions and ulcerations of the lower esophagus, possibly due to a gastroesophageal reflux, and a small duodenal erosion. The child was previously healthy and he had never shown any symptoms related to this conditi...

506 Abstract: Present study was to investigate antioxidant and anti inflammatory effects of salix tetrasperma Roxb in rats. The Hydroalcoholicic extract of salix tetrasperma Roxb (100 and 200 mg/kg body weight) was studied for anti-inflammatory in animal models. The activity was studied in carragenan induced rats paw edema against indomethacin as standard, and it showed significant anti inflamm...

Salix matsudana Koidz. is a deciduous, rapidly growing, and drought resistant tree and is one of the most widely distributed and commonly cultivated willow species in China. Currently little transcriptomic and small RNAomic data are available to reveal the genes involve in the stress resistant in S. matsudana. Here, we report the RNA-seq analysis results of both transcriptome and small RNAome d...
