Diagnosis of Idiopathic Primary Infertility in a Consanguineous Infertile Family using Clinical and Molecular Cytogenetic Techniques
Authors: H. Muhammad, R. Khan, F. Wahab, I. Khan, B. Shah, A. Ali, N. Farooqi, Dil, N. Ali, F. Jalil and S. Ali
Background: Male infertility is a multifactorial medical problem affecting around 7% of the male population in whom 1% are affected by Non Obstructive Azoospermia (NOA). Despite of advanced diagnostic techniques, majority of the infertility cases remain idiopathic .Therefore more evidence based scientific research is required to investigate the underlying..

Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase (eNOS) Gene Polymorphisms and Risk of Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: An Updated Meta-Analysis
Authors: N. Manabesh, M. Shubham, K. Amit, S. Rakhee, K. Pradeep
Previously published studies have examined whether the polymorphisms (G894T, 4b/a, and T786C) in the Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase (eNOS) gene are associated with risk of Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (aSAH), have reported conflicting results. Thus, we performed a meta-analysis to examine the potential association between these three single nucle.. Read More»

Screening of Chickpea Germplasm for Growth and Yield Related Traits under Agro-Climatic Conditions of Thal
Authors: N. Parveen, A. Masood, M. T. Mahmood, N. Khalid and M. Shahbaz
A field experiment comprising of fifty chickpea germplasm entries along with two commercial varieties (Punjab-2008 and Bittle-2016) was carried out for characterization of chickpea germplasm and screening of superior chickpea genotypes under agro-climatic conditions of Kallurkot (Thal, Punjab, Pakistan) at research area of Gram Breeding Research Station, ..

Dynamism of the breeding program for irrigated rice in Southeast Brazil
Authors: A.C. Silva J�ºnior, 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, .. Read More»

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 path.. 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..

Digital image analysis to quantify genetic divergence in passion fruit seeds
Authors: Leandro Rafael Fachi, Willian Krause, Henrique Duarte Vieira, Dej�¢nia Vieira de Ara�ºjo, 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 famili.. Read More»
