Somatic chromosome numbers were determined for 20 new germplasm accessions of Paspalum, belonging to 17 species collected in Brazil. Chromosome number is reported for the first time for P. reduncum (2n = 18), P. cinerascens (2n = 20), P. cordatum (2n = 20), P. filgueirasii (2n = 24), P. ammodes (2n = 36), P. bicilium (2n = 40), ... more
The need for the conservation of plant genetic resources has been widely accepted. Germplasm characterization and evaluation yield information for more efficient utilization of these valuable resources. The aim of the present study was to characterize the pea germplasm conserved at the Aegean Agricultural Research Institute of Turkey using morphological and simple sequence repeat (SSR)- ... more
This is the first study to examine the genetic diversity of mandacaru cactus (Cereus jamacaru P. DC.). Plants of spineless mandacaru are commonly found in gardens and parks of urban areas in northeastern Brazil. In addition to exploring their ornamental potential, morphological, and genetic characterization may contribute to the development of plant materials that can be used as ... more
In this paper, interspecific crosses among Crambe abyssinica, Crambe hispanica, and Crambe kralikii were reported. In the C. hispanica x C. abyssinica (H x A) cross, 118 F1 hybrids were produced without embryo rescue, while 5 F1 hybrids were obtained with embryo rescue, when C. hispanica was used as the female ... more
The discriminative potentials of biogeography, vocalization, morphology, cytogenetics, hemoglobin, and molecular profiling of cytochrome b as taxonomic techniques for differentiating Brazilian tortoises were evaluated in this study. In Brazil, two species of tortoises are described, Chelonoidis carbonarius and Chelonoidis denticulatus. However, in the present ... more
Enterococcus faecalis may enter a viable but nonculturable (VBNC) state under adverse conditions. E. faecalis, the major bacterial species present in failed root canal treatments, is thought to survive after endodontic treatment by entering a VBNC state. In this study, we characterized the VBNC state of E. faecalis. We designed 3 different protocols to successfully ... more
Bassia indica is a natural herb of medical and economic importance with a worldwide distribution, including in various regions of Egypt. It is primarily used for healing and is also considered a green fodder and can be used to remediate salty soils. We investigated morphological and germination parameters as well as the karyotype and genetic variation of ... more
One of the main global causes of mortality is cerebral ischemia. Studies report that alcohol abuse causes health problems, aggravating the conditions of neurological diseases. The role of microRNAs has been highlighted in the literature as biomarkers in various types of diseases, including neurological disorders. Evidence of dysregulation of serum miRNAs related to ... more
Cerebral ischemia is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality as Abusive use of alcohol also causes health problems, along with considerable social and economic repercussions. We examined how these two conditions affect histopathological signs, morphometrics, expression of apoptosis-related proteins CASPASE 3 and BCL2, and serum gene expression of miRNA-21 ... more
The sweet and chili pepper species of the genus Capsicum are originally from America; however, currently they are grown worldwide. Although widely appreciated, especially in the Amazon region, there have been few studies about C. chinense. Characterization and classification studies can aid in pepper crop genetic breeding and development of new ... more
