Abstract

Yellow pistachio hard scale, Lepidosaphes pistaciae (Hem.: Coccoidea: Diaspididae) is one of the detrimental pests to pistachio trees. This pest is distributed throughout the pistachio producing regions of Iran. It is complex species, having distinct genetic variation. As genetically diversity awareness is essential for identification and management, the diaspidid samples selected from 10 infected region and used to test hypotheses about the genetic variability between and within its populations, during 2016. Inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) molecular marker was used to assess genetic diversity. Extracted DNA of specimens amplified with nine ISSR primers, six of primers showed the best polymorphism. After observation and scoring bands patterns, data were analyzed with NTSYS ver. 2.02 and POPGENE ver. 1.31 software. Results showed that the bands are in the range between 100 and 2000 bp. The used ISSR primers generated 63 polymorphic fragments, and the average heterozygosity for each primer was 0.266 and the maximum number of bands were recorded for primer SMR7. A dendrogram based on the Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic mean (UPGMA) method placed them in three groups also, Anar and Baft populations were the most di...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
