Transcription factor 7 gene (TCF7) is located on genomic candidate region for fat traits on sheep chromosome no. 5  and it is excepted to affect fat traits. In the present study, blood samples were collected from 164 Lori-Bakhtiari sheep in Shouli breeding station  located at Shahr-e-Kord city, and 113 Zel sheep in Shirang breeding station located at Gorgan city. DNA was extracted from blood sa...

     Meat quality and carcass composition are the most important economic traits in sheep. Body fat and fat-tail are key factors affecting carcass quality and meat production in each breed, and mutations in sequences of the genes that control these traits can affect the animal performance and therefore the breeding value. The aim of this study was to investigate the polymorphism in some regions...

GDF9 gene is one of the most important effective factors on litter size in sheep. Thus, the aim of the present study was to detect single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) available in exon 2 of GDF9 gene in pure and crossbred of Pakistani sheep using PCR-SSCP. Hence, blood samples were collected from 30 Pakistani sheep, 17 crossbred sheep (Pakistani rams × Lori-Bakhtiari) and 7 crossbred sheep (...

the aim of the present study was to determine the in?uence of presence or absence of corpus luteum (cl) on hormonal and metabolites composition of follicular ?uid (ff) harvested from different sized follicles and its relationship with blood serum concentrations in sanjabi ewes. ovaries and blood samples were collected from 60 clinically healthy adult ewes (sanjabi breed) 1–3 years of age in dio...

the history of plant’s used for mankind is as old as the start of humankind. initially, people used plants for their nutritional proposes but after the discovery of medicinal properties, this natural ?ora became a useful source of disease cure and health improvement across various human communities. berberis vulgaris is one of the medicinal plants used in iranian traditional medicine. berberis ...

nanotechnology is a general term which is related with field of all advanced science term that generally predicates with all modern technologies which consider nanoscales. improvement in the quality of products by adding some nanoparticles and study of their behavior in the presence of these nanoparticles have been obtained in many researches. on the other hand numerous demands for sowing ...

 In this study, blood samples were collected from the jugular vein of 109 Kermani sheep from Kermani sheep breeding station.  Genomic DNA was extracted from blood sample using modified salting out method and polymerase chain reactions were performed for amplification of 214 bp fragment containing a part of exon 4 of GH gene. Single Strand Conformation Polymorphism (SSCP) was used for genotyping...

the aim of this study was to identify the problems of translating markedness structures from english to persian in order to look closely at what possible difficulties translators may face. it also seeks to probe the strategies applied accordingly by iranian translators in translating them. from three translation of blindness novel, the sentences with marked structures were elicited and also the...
