to evaluate allelic diversity at loci encoding low molecular weight glutenin subunits (lmw-gs) among 62 genotypes of bread wheat, nine specific primer pairs for glu-a3, glu-b3, glu-d3 loci were employed. pcr products were separated on 2% agarose gels. two pairs of specific primers, at amplified glu-a3 locus, 8 alleles were detected the c allele of which was the most abundant with a frequency of...

Background: Species identification in commercially processed food and feed products is one of the important issues. This study was conducted to develop a genetic method for the detection of pig and cattle species in processed food and feed products using newly designed species-specific primers targeting mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene fragments. Methods: Two sets of specific primers were designed ...

Backgrounds: Canine parvovirus (CPV) has been incriminated as a primary pathogen related to acute hemorrhagic enteritis in dogs. Three major antigenic variants of CPV (CPV-2a/2b/2c) have so far been identified. Objectives: This study was carried out to investigate the frequency of CPV-2 and its variants (CPV-2a/2b/2c) in a population of healthy and diarrheic dogs in the north west of Iran. Meth...

in present study, a sybr green based real time pcr assay was developed for specific detection and quantification of bacillus subtilis in dough used for bread making. new primer pairs were designed to amplify a 212 base pair fragment of the apre gene. specificity of these primer pairs was confirmed with conventional and real time pcr methods. standard curves constructed using the threshold cycle...

fusarium culmorum which is considered as the causal agent of fusarium head blight, can produce deoxynivalenol (don), nivalenol (niv) and their acetylated derivatives. this study has been assessed in order to detect the tri13 gene using primer pairs tri13donr/tri13f and tri13r/tri13nivf, to investigate the potential of f. culmorum isolates in the production of don and niv in west azarbayjan prov...

Sequence characterized amplifled region (SCAR) markers were derived from random amplified polymorphic DNAs (RAPDs) that segregate in a longleaf pine x slash pine Fi family. Nine RAPD fragments, five from longleafpine and four from slash pine, were cloned and end sequenced. A total of 13 SCAR primer pairs, with lengths between 17 and 24 nucleotides, were developed. Nine (for SCAR loci FGPO04, FG...

Background: The present study aimed to investigate the presence of leptin mRNA transcript in epididymal spermatozoa of Holstein cattle by RT-PCR analysis. Materials and Methods: To collect sperm from epididymis, the whole testes of three adult Holstein bulls were quickly removed after slaughtering. Samples were transferred to the laboratory on ice and subsequently the epididymal contents were c...

Background: Multidrug resistance Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MDRPA) is most important issue in healthcare setting. It can secrete many virulence effector proteins via its secretion system type (T1SS-T6SS). They are using them as conductor for delivering the effector proteins outside to begins harmful effect on host cell increasing pathogenicity, competition against other microorganism and nutrient ...

  Today, it is nearly 25 years past from investigation of Shiga toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) which is able to produce Shiga toxins and cause different gastroenteritis. Since incidence of gastroenteritis due to STEC is increasing, it's necessary to develop rapid, specific and accurate procedures like PCR. In this study, we used PCR method to detect and identify STEC in cultures of 55 Escher...
