Wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV) is a mite-vectored with substantial economic impact on wheat production. One of the effective sources resistance to WSMV, Wsm1, carried translocation from Thinopyrum intermedium. The original whole arm form this (T4DL·4JsS) was highly against WSMV but yield penalty in absence virus. Shorter recombinants Th. intermedium are now available. This study characterized...

Five common range forage including Agropyron intermedium, Bromustomentellus, Hordeum bulbosum, Cousinia bakhtiarica and Scariolla orientalis, weresampled during three phenological stages, from controlled rangeland stations over fivelocations in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province, Iran. All samples were chemicallyanalyzed for Crude Protein (CP%), in vitro Dry Matter Digestibility (DMD), OrganicM...

A new steinernematid nematode, herein described as Steinernema poinari sp. n., was recovered by baiting soil samples with the last instar wax moth larvae Galleria mellonella in three localities of southwest Bohemia, Czech Republic. Morphological and molecular data confirmed this nematode as a new species which belongs to the affine/intermedium group. S. poinari sp. n. was characterized by male,...

Glutamate excretion by colonies of Citrobacter intermedium C3 was detected by using the auxotrophic strain Leuconostoc mesenteroides P-60. A constant ratio of strain C3 colonies did not excrete glutamate. These colonies were subcultured, and colonial analysis of their descendants established that the change from non-excretor to excretor (Sg(-) --> Sg(+)) is a spontaneous and random process with...

Ochrobactrum intermedium is an opportunistic human pathogen belonging to the alpha 2 subgroup of proteobacteria. The 16S rDNA sequences of nine O. intermedium isolates from a collection of clinical and environmental isolates exhibited a 46-bp insertion at position 187, which was present in only one sequence among the 82 complete or partial 16S rDNA sequences of Ochrobactrum spp. available in da...

In this study, the expression of proteolipid protein (PLP) and nestin is studied in the late bell stage of developing rodent teeth in neonatal rats. By using immunohistochemistry, it was shown that odontoblasts, ameloblasts and the stratum intermedium are positive for PLP in regions of active matrix deposition. Reactivity for nestin could be detected in the odontoblasts, stratum intermedium and...

Inferring the origins of hybrid taxa based on morphology alone is difficult because morphologically similar hybrids can arise from hybridization between different populations of the same parental species or be produced by hybridization of different parental species. In this study, we investigated the origins of two semi-creeping taxa in Melastoma, which are morphologically similar to a natural ...

Monogeneans, a class of parasitic platyhelminthes, are usually found on the surface fish. When it feeds its host, harbours bacteria, which can survive in gut. Occasionally, monogeneans may cause damages fish tissue while feeding and allow secondary infection. The present study aimed to isolate identify culturable bacteria obtained within gill monogeneans, Cichlidogyrus thurstonaeand Scutogyrus ...
