THE GENETIC BASIS OF DIVERSITY IN MALARIA PARASITES

The artemisinin-based combined therapy (ACT) post-treatment illness in Plasmodium falciparum-endemic areas is characterized by vague malaria-like symptoms. The roles of treatment modality, persistence of parasites and host proinflammatory response in disease course are unknown. We investigated the h[r]

Domestication and selection of Vitis vinifera L. for table and wine grapes has led to a large level of berry size diversity in current grapevine cultivars. Identifying the genetic basis for this natural variation is paramount both for breeding programs and for elucidating which genes contributed to[r]

and ethologically differentiated and reproductive isolation is established (Meyer et al., 1990; Verheyen et al., 2003; Nagl et al., 1998; Terai et al., 2004). In a preliminary study, we compared some morphological characters, such as the number of spinous and soft fin ray cou[r]

Recently, abiotic stress like salinity, drought and temperature are the severe problems to worldwide wheat production, mostly in arid and semiarid areas. A feasible solution is breeding for salt-tolerant cultivars of wheat, while the presence of genetic variation is a prerequisite for genetic improv[r]

Seed weight (SW) and silique length (SL) are important determinants of the yield potential in rapeseed (Brassica napus L.). However, the genetic basis of both traits is poorly understood

SUMMARY
Plasmodium knowlesi is a simian malaria parasite currently recognized as the fifth cause of human malaria. Singapore reported its first local human knowlesi infection in 2007 and epidemiological investigations revealed that long-tailed[r]

In the present study, RAPD markers were employed to study the genetic diversity, a RAPD profile of 64 rice bean genotypes generated 83 bands, of which 47 were polymorphic 56.62% of polym[r]

Osteosarcoma is a highly genetically unstable tumor with poor prognosis. We performed microarray-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH), transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq), and pathway analysis to gain a systemic view of the pathway alterations of osteosarcoma.

Besides genetic diversity estimates it is often important in molecular ecological studies to represe[r]

Genetic divergence study of 144 rice landraces using Mahalanobis D2 statistics revealed the presence of considerable genetic diversity. The 144 diverse landraces were grouped into 13 clusters with the cluster VI consists of maximum of 17 landraces followed by cluster XII which has 16 landraces.

SSR from organelle genomes, mitochondrial SSR have little impact comparing to chloroplasts. Moreover, chloroplst genomes are transimitted in multiple copies during mitosis and miosis and for that reason they are subject to random drift between and within individuals. The uniparental[r]

With this background, present study attempted to assess the genetic diversity and structure of _Musa _cultivars using molecular markers.. Applying the appropriate degree of caution, rand[r]

The molecular evaluation of twelve chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) varieties (screened for their resistance to fusarium wilt) at the Department of Plant Pathology and Agriculture Microbiology in 2014-15 was conducted to assess the genetic diversity and relationship of chickpea genotypes using RAPD.

Sesame (Sesamum indicum L., 2n = 26) is an important oilseed crop with an estimated genome size of 369 Mb. The genetic basis, including the number and locations of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) of sesame grain yield and quality remain poorly understood, due in part to the lack of reliable markers a[r]

Argentina has a long tradition of sunflower breeding, and its germplasm is a valuable genetic resource worldwide. However, knowledge of the genetic constitution and variability levels of the Argentinean germplasm is still scarce, rendering the global map of cultivated sunflower diversity incomplete

This study aimed to evaluate the genetic diversity and to characterize nine pistillate parents of castor (Ricinus communis L.) germplasms by RAPD and SSR markers. The availability of diverse germplasm of any crop is an important genetic resource to mine the genes that may assist in attaining yield a[r]

Cycas simplicipinna (T. Smitinand) K. Hill. (Cycadaceae) is an endangered species in China. There were seven populations and 118 individuals that we could collect were genotyped in this study. Here, we assessed the genetic diversity, genetic structure and demographic history of this species.
