| mammalian microevolution in action: adaptive edaphic genomic divergence in blind subterranean mole-rats. | genomic diversity of anonymous regions across the genome, most probably including coding and noncoding amplified fragment length polymorphisms (aflps), was examined in 20 individuals of the blind mole-rat, spalax galili, one of four allospecies of the spalax ehrenbergi superspecies of blind subterranean mole-rats in israel. we compared 10 individuals from two nearby populations in upper galilee, separated by only a few dozen to hundreds of metres and living in two sharply contrasting ecologies: ... | 2004 | 15252970 |
| in vitro evaluation of cytotoxic and antimicrobial potentials of the saudi traditional plant alhagi graecorum boiss. | various species of alhagi are known for a wide diversity of ethnopharmacological uses. this study explored the in vitro antimicrobial and cytotoxic potentials of the crude ethanolic extract and isolated fractions from the traditional saudi plant alhagi graecorum. the antimicrobial activity was evaluated against 19 pathogenic microbial strains using the broth micro dilution assay. on the other hand, the cytotoxicity was assessed using the crystal violet staining method on mcf-7, hepg-2, hct-116, ... | 2015 | 26051727 |
| ecological investigation of three geophytes in the deltaic mediterranean coast of egypt. | this study was conducted to investigate the ecological features of three geophytes namely asparagus stipularis, cyperus capitatus and stipagrostis lanata which grow naturally in the nile delta coast of egypt. c. capitatus and s. lanata are growing in non-saline sandy soils and can tolerate drought stress while, a. stipularis is growing in saline and non-saline sandy and calcareous clay soils and can tolerate drought and salt stress. multivariate analysis of the vegetation of 100 sampled stands s ... | 2013 | 24506033 |
