GENETIC DIVERSITY OF THE RECOVERED POPULATIONS OF MESOCRICONEMA XENOPLAX (NEMATODA: CRICONEMATIDAE) FROM ORCHARDS IN FARS PROVINCE, SOUTHERN IRAN

Genetic diversity of the recovered populations of Mesocriconema xenoplax (Nematoda: Criconematidae) from orchards in Fars province, Southern Iran

In this survey, 14 populations of Mesocriconema xenoplax were collected from the rhizosphere of eight fruit and nut trees in Fars province, Southern Iran.The phylogenetic relationships of these populations with other representatives of the species were investigated using sequences of cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 mitochondrial gene (COI) and D2-D3

Expression and Function of Transmembrane-4 Superfamily (Tetraspanin) Proteins in Osteoclasts: Reciprocal Roles of Tspan-5 and NET-6 during Osteoclastogenesis

Background: Osteoclasts are bone-resorbing multinuclear polykaryons essential for bone remodeling, formed through cell fusion of mononuclear macrophage/monocyte lineage precursor cells upon stimulation by the RANK/RANKL system.Recent studies have revealed that a family of tetraspanin proteins, such as CD9, is critically involved in the cell fusion/
