seed protein profiles of 47 accessions belonging to eleven species and four tribes of grain legumes were studied, by extracting the total proteins from ten single seeds in each accession and performing sds-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. all eleven species were clearly recognizable from their protein banding patterns, but only phaseolus vulgaris expressed high intraspecific variations, ...

Most current methods to identify cell-specific RNA binding protein (RBP) targets require analyzing an extract, a strategy that is problematic with small amounts of material. To address this issue, we developed TRIBE, a genetic method that expresses an RBP of interest fused to the catalytic domain of the RNA editing enzyme ADAR. TRIBE therefore performs Adenosine-to-Inosine editing on candidate ...

A new issid genus in the tribe Hemisphaeriini (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Issidae) is described from China: Rotundiforma gen. nov.. One new species, Rotundiforma nigrimaculata sp. nov. (China: Yunnan, Menglun), is described and illustrated. Distribution and morphological diversity of tribe Hemisphaeriini are discussed briefly. A checklist for the 14 genera of Hemisphaeriini is provided.

Planthoppers of the tribe Achilini (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Achilidae) from China, are reviewed. A key to the three genera of Chinese Achilini is given. A new genus and species of the tribe from southwestern China: Paracatonidia webbeda gen. & sp. nov., is described. A new genus and species record for China, Cixidia kasparyani Anufriev, is also given.

The study is mainly focused on medicinal importance of plants used by Yanadi tribe to treat various ailments. MATERIALS AND METHODS The information collected on treated ailments, part used, preparation, combination, and addition of ingredients t...

PREMISE OF THE STUDY The mint family (Lamiaceae) is the sixth largest family of flowering plants, with the tribe Mentheae containing about a third of the species. We present a detailed perspective on the evolution of the tribe Mentheae based on a phylogenetic analysis of cpDNA and nrDNA that is the most comprehensive to date, a biogeographic set of analyses using a fossil-calibrated chronogram,...

A generic-level cladistic analysis of the cleptoparasitic bee tribe Epeolini (Apinae: Nomadinae) is presented. One hundred and two characters of adult external morphology are identified and coded for 32 representatives of all genera and subgenera presently recognized within the tribe, along with five outgroup taxa. The resulting topology is used in the formation of a higher-level classification...

The tribe Sophoreae sensu Polhill [9,10] is a large and diverse assemblage comprising the ancient and primitive ancestral stocks of Papilionoideae. The most frequent chromosome basic numbers in this tribe are x = 11 and x = 9 but chromosome numbers range from x = 8-14 are also known. In this study chromosome numbers and karyotype variation of Iranian members of tribe Sophoreae are reported. Ira...
