Using Bayesian and Eigen approaches to study spatial genetic structure of Moroccan and Syrian durum wheat landraces
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2013-01)
The Mediterranean durum wheat landraces are genetically diverse and important sources for improving resistance to abiotic and biotic stresses and developing adapted and productive durum wheat varieties in the Mediterranean ...
Identification and characterization drought tolerance of gene LEA-D11 soybean (glycine max L. Merr) based on PCR-sequencing
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2013-01)
Drought is one of the most damaging abiotic stress. Different plants response differently to drought stress. Abiotic stresses such as drought induced diverse physicological and molecular responses in plants. These responses ...
Comparative study on some selected species of Ocimum genus on free radical scavenging activity and hepatoprotective activity against CCl4 induced intoxication in rats
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2013-10)
In this study, we compared the in vitro antioxidant property among the selected Ocimum species (O. sanctum, O. americanum, O. basilicum and O. gratissimum) and hepatoprotective activities of their extracts against CCl4 ...
Breeding of NHase hyper-producing Rhodococcus ruber strain LUV30-06 and verification of mutants by RAPD
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2013-04)
A nitrile hydratase (NHase) hyper-producing Rhodococcus ruber strain LUV30-06 was bred by mutagenization on the starting strain CGMCC3090 with ultraviolet irradiation and lithium chloride. The NHase activity of the strain ...
Functional reconstruction of bovine P450scc steroidogenic system in Escherichia coli
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2013-10)
Mammalian cytochrome P450scc enzyme system catalyzes the initial step in steroid hormone biosynthesis—cholesterol hydroxylation followed by cleavage of the side-chain to yield pregnenolone. This system consists of three ...
Bax promoter G(-248)A polymorphism in a Turkish clinical breast cancer patients: A case-control study
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2013-01)
Bax is an important protein involved in apoptotic process. Mutations of the Bax gene are known to af- fect protein expression and function. A promotor polymorphism G(-248)A in the 5’UTR of Bax gene may alter regulation of ...
Interaction between the Wilms tumour factor-1 element in the promoter of Amh and a downstream enhancer is required for a strong expression of the gene in pre-pubertal sertoli cells
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2013-07)
Amh (anti-Müllerian hormone) is a single copy gene which is expressed strongly in Sertoli cells in the foetal testis and participates in the onset of sexual differentiation. Its promoter driving the expression of a reporter ...
Plasmid instability when the hsp60 gene promoter is used to express the protective non-toxic fragment B of the diphtheria toxin in recombinant BCG
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2013-04)
The genetic modification of the live attenuated Mycobacterium bovis BCG to deliver a protective Corynebacterium diphtheriae antigen in vivo could be a safer and less costly alternative to the new and more expensive DTP ...
Effect of SP600125 on proliferation of embryonic stem cell
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2013-04)
SP600125 is an inhibitor of c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK), which plays a fundamental role in regulating animal development. Using SP600125 to deal with the mouse embryonic stem cells, it is revealed that the number of ...
TLR5 involvement in attenuated IL-8 production in nuclear decorin silenced oral mucosal dysplastic keratinocytes and squamous cell carcinoma
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2013-10)
Head and neck cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers in the world. Roughly half of these malignancies originate from oral mucosa and constitute Oral squamous cell carcinomas. Despite many advances in diagnostic and ...
