Genetic Advances and Heritability for Different Seedling Traits of Wheat and Maize under Heavy Metal and Salt Stress

Authors: K. Afzal, M.S. Rashid, Q. Ali and A. Malik

Maize (Zea mays) and wheat (Triticum aestivum) both are an important cereal crop plants. Both are grown as food and feed for human and livestock. Wheat and maize are highly sensitive to heat, drought, salinity and heavy metal toxicity. For evaluation of genotypes of maize and wheat under heavy metal and salt stress, an experimented was conducted in the gr.. Read More»

Genetic Evaluation of Brassica juncea and Sinapis alba Seedling Traits under Multi Stress Conditions

Authors: H. Khan, M.S. Rashid, Q. Ali and A. Malik

Brassica is an important oil seed crop plant species grown throughout the world. Brassica juncea and Sinapis alba are very sensitive to abiotic stress conditions which included drought, heat, salt, heavy metals and cold which disturb their growth and yield. For this purpose to check the effect of heavy metals, salt and drought, an experiment was conducted.. 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»

Expression of HCN and sodium channels in murine model of Type I diabetes

Authors: Anantha Maharasi Rama Krishnan and Kavitha Sankaranarayanan

Pancreatic apoptosis is an important event in the pathogenesis of Type 1 Diabetes. It is characterized by secretion and binding of inflammatory cytokines to the pancreatic islets, that activate downstream signaling mechanism. These signaling mechanisms finally increase intracellular calcium level and that lead to the activation of apoptotic pathways. Ion .. Read More»

Authors: Feraydoon Abdolmaleki, Soudeh Ghafoui-Fard, Mohammad Taheri, Alireza Mordadi, Mandana Afasharpad, Abolghasem Nikfallah, Bashir Nazparvar, Vahid Kholghi Oskooei, Mir Davood Omrani

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have crucial roles in regulation of many aspects of cell functions which are related with carcinogenesis process. The lncRNA Opa Interacting Protein 5-antisense 1 (OIP5-AS1) is among lncRNAs whose roles in some human malignancies have been elucidated. In the current study, we aimed at identification of the role of this lncRN.. Read More»

The clinical significance of miR-7-5p downregulation in gastric dysplasia and gastric cancer tissue

Authors: Sara Omrani, Ali Zare, Shahriar Tarighi, Hamid Ghaedi, Mir Davood Omrani

miRNAs have been involved in the pathogenesis of several cancers such as gastric cancer (GC.). In the following study we analyzed the expression of miR-7 in gastric cancer samples compared non-tumor tissues and gastric dysplasia (GD) samples with patients’ clinico-pathological data and its potential as diagnostic biomarker. We first analyzed its exp.. Read More»

NNT and NNT-AS1 expression levels are not different between bipolar patients and healthy subjects

Authors: Soudeh Ghafouri-Fard, Mohammad Taheri, Vahid Kholghi Oskooie, Mir Davood Omrani, Arezou Sayad

Nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenase (NNT) participates in redox and energy interconnections. Nnt silencing in N27 dopaminergic cells has changed basal, extra, and greatest mitochondrial oxygen absorption rates and made these cell vulnerable to constant upsurges in H2O2. NNT-antisense RNA1 (NNT-AS1) is transcribed from the opposite stand of NNT gene a.. Read More»
