in this study, 40 genotypes and breeding lines in the vegetative stage was conducted in a factorial arrangement based on a complete randomized block design with 3 replications in greenhouse at sari university agricultural science and natural resource, iran, 2008. seventeen genotypes were selected and tested in seedling stage in 2009. the results showed that genotypes had significant difference ...

To exploit the polymorphism of repeat numbers in short tandem repeat (STR) sequences (microsatellites) as molecular markers, STRs must be isolated and PCR primers must be developed in flanking sequences. In species with large genomes such as Allium cepa L. (onion and shallot), an efficient selection procedure for genomic fragments containing STRs is a crucial step. Here we describe a nonradioac...

abstract objective: shallots are important part of the diet for many people and there is long-held belief in their health enhancing properties. the aim of this study was to determine antifungal activity of shallot against reference fungal strains. methods: alcoholic and aqueous extracts of shallot (allium hirtifolium) were tested for in vitro antifungal activities against aspergillus fumigatus,...

Genomic assessment of local sheep breeds is relevant to the reconstruction post-domestication migrations and filling in gaps developmental history contemporary phylogeographic-differentiation patterns Eurasia. In this study, we aimed reveal possible genetic relationships between Russia Persian Highlands (Iran) based on high-density SNP genotypes. All samples (n = 395) from 11 Iranian 10 Russian...

OBJECTIVES To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the contributions of GST genetic variants to the risk of diabetic retinopathy in an Iranian population. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine whether sequence variation in glutathione S-transferase gene (GSTM1 and GSTT1) is associated with development of diabetic retinopathy in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)...

Background & Aims: Due to the increasing number of older women with anxiety sensitivity, attention this condition in vulnerable group is particular importance. Spiritual wellbeing can promote mental health elderly, especially women. study aims determine relationship between spiritual and sensitivity Ashtian, Iran. Materials Methods: This a descriptive-correlational study. The population inc...

AIM The purpose of this study was to investigate the possible influence of age and gender on association between -765G > C COX-2 genetic polymorphism and gastric adenocarcinoma risk in Iranian patients. BACKGROUND The promoter polymorphism of COX-2 gene -765G > C has been described to play an important role in many cancers such as gastric cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS We carried out single-n...

Genetic polymorphism G6721T (rs.7003908) in gene encoding DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PKcs, encoded by the XRCC7 gene) has been defined. In order to get more insight into the genetic structure of Iranian population the present study was carried out on Iranian Persian population living in Shiraz (Fars province, southwest Iran). The total study subjects consisted of 935 (195 males, 740 fema...

UNLABELLED Objective(s) : Apolipoprotein E genotype (APOE) polymorphism affects lipid levels and coronary artery disease (CAD) risk. The aim of this study was to study the association of the Apolipoprotein E genotypes with coronary artery disease in the Iranian population. MATERIALS AND METHODS The Apolipoprotein E genotype in DNA samples extracted from 66 CAD+ patients and 61 control subject...
