Genetic variability of sugarcane genotypes for red rot disease
Authors: M.S. Iqbal, B. Tabassum, M.F. Awan, M. Tariq, Q. Ali and I.A. Nasir
Sugarcane is a vital crop grown for sugar and sugary products. The importance of sugarcane has been increased greatly as many countries have started the biofuel production using sugarcane as a source. This crop suffers many diseases caused by bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Red rot is one of the major diseases which limit the yield every year. We have scree.. Read More»

Genetic variability for salt tolerance in maize seedlings
Authors: Tanzeel-ur-Rehman, Qurban Ali and Arif Malik
Maize is very sensitive for abiotic environmental stress conditions involving drought, heat and salt stress as important stress conditions. For this purpose a study was planned to conduct in greenhouse of Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, University of the Lahore to determine effects of salt stress on maize seedling growth. For our study w.. Read More»

Comparative analysis of genomic DNA extraction protocols: Maxi-preparation of quality DNA for genetic evaluation and phylogenetic studies
Authors: Muhammad Naeem, Shoaib Hassan, Samra Masud, Qurban Ali, Sikandar Hayat, Ammar Danyal Naeem and Zara Naeem
Four different DNA extraction protocols were compared for ability to produce DNA from the various tissues (caudal fin, pectoral fin, pelvic fin, muscle and gills) of three different freshwater fish species (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix, Labeo rohita and Sperata sarwari). Study describes the comparison of Phenol-chloroform; salt extraction.. Read More»

Authors: Sikandar Hayat, Muhammad Naeem, Arif Malik, Qurban Ali, Muhammad Khalid, Samrah Masud and Arif Mahmood Bhutta
Viral Hepatitis like hepatitis B and hepatitis C are the serious cause of mortality in Pakistan. Present study estimated the prevalence and risk factors associated with Hepatitis B and C among school going children from urban and rural areas. In urban areas overall prevalence of HBV was 5% where the highest prevalence of HBV was 80% and 20% in males and f.. Read More»

Fusarium wilt’s pathogenic studies and disease management: A review
Authors: Ch. Muhammad Rafiq, Muhammad Tariq Mahmood, Mushtaq Ahmad, Imtiaz Ali, Sadia Kaukab, Muhammad Shafiq, Muhammad Saleem, Umer Iqbal
Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris is one of the most important fungal diseases of chickpea limiting its productivity in almost all chickpea growing countries across the world. F. oxysporum is soil borne and root inhabiting in nature which may survives in soil for longer period (up to six years). Pathogen undergoes.. Read More»

Genetic studies for yield and related traits in micro and macrosperma exotic lentil genotypes
Authors: Ch. Muhammad Rafiq, Sadia Kaukab, Aqsa Tahir, Masood Qadir, Busharat Hussain, Shakeel Ahmad Anwar, Muhammad Tariq Mahmood, Ali Aziz, Amir Hameed and Khalid Mehmood Mughal
With respect to seed size lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus) species usually are distributed into two main groups namely Microsperma (<2.5 g/100-seeds) with small rounded seeds and Macrosperma (>2.5 g/100-seeds) with larger and more flattened seeds. The seeds/pod and pods/plant will decrease as the seed size increases that adversely affect the.. Read More»

Uncoupling Proteins and Cardiac Apoptosis in High Fat Diet-Fed Male Rats
Authors: K. Alsolami, Z. Alrefaie
This study aimed to assess impact of high fat diet (HFD) on cardiac apoptosis, and cardiac uncoupling proteins (UCPs) 2&3 expression. Twenty rats were fed either (45%) or (10%) fat diet for 6 months, then cardiac tissue expression of BAX, Bcl2, Fas, Fas-L (markers for apoptotic pathways) and UCP 2&3 were assessed. Results revealed enhancement of i.. Read More»
