Allelic variations of the multidrug resistance gene determine susceptibility and disease behavior in ulcerative colitis [PDF]
, 2005 BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The MDR1 gene encodes P-glycoprotein 170, an efflux transporter that is highly expressed in intestinal epithelial cells. The MDR1 exonic single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) C3435T and G2677T have been shown to correlate with ...

The TaMYB44–TaMYB1 module regulates grain amylose biosynthesis and flour viscosity in wheat
Plant CommunicationsStarch content and composition in wheat endosperm are critical determinants of wheat yield and quality. Amylose content is a key parameter used to characterize starch viscosity in wheat flour, which influences pasting time, peak viscosity, and ...

The impact of one-decade ecological disturbance on genetic changes : a study on the brine shrimp Artemia urmiana from Urmia Lake, Iran [PDF]
, 2019 Urmia Lake, the largest natural habitat of the brine shrimp Artemia urmiana, has progressively desiccated over the last two decades, resulting in a loss of 80% of its surface area and producing thousands of hectares of arid salty land.

A Major Root Architecture QTL Responding to Water Limitation in Durum Wheat
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 The optimal root system architecture (RSA) of a crop is context dependent and critical for efficient resource capture in the soil. Narrow root growth angle promoting deeper root growth is often associated with improved access to water and nutrients in ...

Genetic diversity and prevalence of CCR2-CCR5 gene polymorphisms in the Omani population
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2014 Polymorphisms in the regulatory region of the CCR5 gene affect protein expression and modulate the progress of HIV-1 disease. Because of this prominent role, variations in this gene have been under differential pressure and their frequencies vary among ...
