Authors: H. Muhammad, R. Khan, F. Wahab, I. Khan, B. Shah, A. Ali, N. Farooqi, Dil, N. Ali, F. Jalil and S. Ali
Background: Male infertility is a multifactorial medical problem affecting around 7% of the male population in whom 1% are affected by Non Obstructive Azoospermia (NOA). Despite of advanced diagnostic techniques, majority of the infertility cases remain idiopathic .Therefore more evidence based scientific research is required to investigate the underlying..

Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase (eNOS) Gene Polymorphisms and Risk of Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: An Updated Meta-Analysis
Authors: N. Manabesh, M. Shubham, K. Amit, S. Rakhee, K. Pradeep
Previously published studies have examined whether the polymorphisms (G894T, 4b/a, and T786C) in the Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase (eNOS) gene are associated with risk of Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (aSAH), have reported conflicting results. Thus, we performed a meta-analysis to examine the potential association between these three single nucle.. Read More»

Development and Transferability of Microsatellites Markers for Species of the Saltans Group of Drosophila (Diptera: Drosophilidae)
Authors: B.E. Roman, B.M. Trava and L. Madi-Ravazzi
The microsatellite markers (SSRs) are highly polymorphic, fast evolving, and regarded as neutral markers. Due to these traits, they have been widely used in population studies. The development of specific SSRs for a given species opens possibilities for the application, by means of transferability, in population studies of other species that are phylogene.. Read More»

Genetic Evaluation for Effects of Salt and Drought Stress on Growth Traits of Zea mays Seedlings
Authors: M. Khalil, M.S. Rashid, Q. Ali and A. Malik
Maize is an important grain cash crop grown throughout the world for its grain and fodder. It is highly sensitive for abiotic stress conditions; like drought, chilling, alkalinity, heat, salt and cold conditions. Present study was carried out to find out the effects of salt or NaCl and drought stress on three selected maize genotypes viz., P6103, L5971 an.. Read More»

Evaluation of Genetic Variability in Wheat and Maize under Heavy Metal and Drought Stress
Authors: M. Tahir, M.S. Rashid, Q. Ali and A. Malik
There are certain conditions which cause a change in the growth pattern of plants. These circumstances are significantly effective in growth and cultivation of major crops. The effects of higher levels of copper sulphate through fertilizers can be effective in reducing the growth of a healthy plant. An experiment was conducted in the greenhouse of Institu.. Read More»
