Digital image analysis to quantify genetic divergence in passion fruit seeds
Authors: Leandro Rafael Fachi, Willian Krause, Henrique Duarte Vieira, Dejânia Vieira de Araújo, Petterson Baptista da Luz, Alexandre Pio Viana
Phenotyping through digital images has been used to evaluate morphological characteristics of seeds, providing fast, accurate results. The objective of this work was to estimate the genetic divergence among full-sibling families of passion fruit through morphophysiological characteristics of seeds using the Ward-MLM method. Seeds of 98 full-sibling families (FSF) of passion fruit from the breed.. Read More»

Synonymous Variant of ACE Gene (rs4343) is Coupled with Early Age at Onset and Diminished Diabetic Duration in South Indian Diabetic Nephropathy Patients
Authors: S. Babi Heera, Umme Najiya Mahwish, Fazul Rahman, Sayeeduddin S, Sree Bhushan Raju , Parveen Jahan
Diabetic nephropathy (T2DN) is a major micro vascular complication associated with type-2 diabetes (T2DM). Abnormally active Renin Angiotensin System pathway is shown to influence the development of T2DN and the inter-individual variation with respect to ACE levels, a key enzyme in this pathway partly dependent on the genetic variants of ACE; suggests patient’s genotype ..

Protective effect of Vitamin D on Cardiac Mitochondrial Apoptotic pathway in Rats fed with high fat diet
Authors: Khadeejah Mesaid Al-Solami, Zienab Alrefaie, Hossam Awad
Background: Both diet quality and vitamin D status are important factors associated with many cardiovascular risk factors. Cardiac mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis has been associated with those factors. The current work aimed to assess the effect of chronic consumption of high fat diet (HFD) on the cardiac markers of mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis and whether vitamin D s.. Read More»

Dynamism of the breeding program for irrigated rice in Southeast Brazil
Authors: A.C. Silva Júnior, V.Q. Carneiro, I.G. Santos, W.G Costa, R.D.S. Rosado, C.D. Cruz and P.C. Soares
The estimation of the genotypic replacement rate is aimed at evaluating the performance of breeding programs. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the dynamics of the genetic improvement program of flooded rice, developed in Minas Gerais, during the period from 1993 to 2016. We evaluated 210 lines in three environments between 1993 and 2016, in blocks, ranging from three to four re.. Read More»

Molecular Characterization of Tuf Gene and Antibiotic Susceptibility Patterns of Streptococcus Species in Local Population of Lahore, Pakistan
Authors: A. Mahmood, A. J. Sami and Q. Ali
Background: Multi Drug Resistance (MDR) is a global problem which is expeditiously increasing. Different antimicrobial drugs have been reported resistant against various Streptococcus species. This has been a threat to local individuals in all over the world specifically in developing countries including Pakistan. Decreased efficiency of drugs due to emergence of new resistance mechanisms in tr.. Read More»

Development and Transferability of Microsatellites Markers for Species of the Saltans Group of Drosophila (Diptera: Drosophilidae)
Authors: B.E. Roman, B.M. Trava and L. Madi-Ravazzi
The microsatellite markers (SSRs) are highly polymorphic, fast evolving, and regarded as neutral markers. Due to these traits, they have been widely used in population studies. The development of specific SSRs for a given species opens possibilities for the application, by means of transferability, in population studies of other species that are phylogenetically related, thereby optimizing time..

Authors: M. Sharif, F. Ansari, A. Malik, Q. Ali, Z. Hasan and N.U.H. Khan
Pomegranate is a fruit bearing plant belonging to Lythraceae; in botanic language it is called Punica granatum. It is been considered as a traditional medicine for the cure of many diseases. The purpose of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial activity and phytochemicals present qualitatively present in different parts of Pomegranate plant and to investigate antioxidant activity. Cold.. Read More»
