Chitin is an organic polymer and it is the most frequent marine natural polysaccharide after cellulose. The main natural sources of chitin are exoskeletons of insects, mollusks, the cell walls of certain fungi and crustaceans such as crabs, shrimps and lobsters. The waste of these marine exoskeletons are pollutant for the environment, but these waste raw materials could be useful for production of commercial products like chitin. Chitin is an important raw material used for water treatment, agricultural, biomedical, biotechnological purposes, food and paper industry and cosmetics. Based on the variety of importance, the present targets of this study are to optimize the demineralization process for the removal of calcium and phosphate contents from the waste of Portunidae segnis (P. segnis) by using acid at ambient temperature and to characterize the isolated demineralized sample as well as the percentage of remaining calcium and phosphorus contents by using Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES). The prepared waste carbs coarse powder samples of P. segnis were demineralized with seven different concentrations of hydrochloric acid at ambient temperature for 1 h. All the demineralization samples by the different concentrations were analyzed by using sensitive ICP-OES. The results based on ICP-OES showed that among the seven different concentrations used in the demineralization process for the isolation of chitin, the best was 2 M of HCl concentration for the production of chitin. The results also showed that the optimized concentration 2 M HCl gave the minimum concentration of calcium and phosphorus compared to other concentrations applied in this experiment. In conclusion, the optimized concentration for demineralization process could be used commercially for the isolation or commercial production of chitin for agricultural, biomedical and biotechnological purposes. 相似文献
Globally among biotic stresses, diseases like blight, rust and blast constitute prime constraints for reducing wheat
productivity especially in Bangladesh. For sustainable productivity, the development of disease-resistant lines and
high yielding varieties is vital and necessary. This study was conducted using 122 advanced breeding lines of
wheat including 21 varieties developed by Bangladesh Wheat and Maize Research Institute (BAMRI) with aims
to identify genotypes having high yield potential and resistance to leaf blight, leaf rust and blast diseases. These
genotypes were evaluated for resistance against leaf blight and leaf rust at Dinajpur and wheat blast at Jashore
under field condition. Out of 122 genotypes tested, 20 lines were selected as resistant to leaf blight based on
the area under the diseases progress curve (AUDPC) under both irrigated timely sown (ITS) and irrigated late
sown (ILS) conditions. Forty-two genotypes were found completely free from leaf rust infection, 59 genotypes
were identified as resistant, and 13 genotypes were identified as moderately resistant to leaf rust. Eighteen genotypes were immune against wheat blast, 42 genotypes were categorized as resistant, and 26 genotypes were identified as moderately resistant to wheat blast. Molecular data revealed that the 16 genotypes showed a positive 2NS
segment among the 18 immune genotypes selected against wheat blast under field conditions. The genotypes
BAW 1322, BAW 1295, and BAW 1203 can be used as earlier maturing genotypes and the genotypes BAW
1372, BAW 1373, BAW 1297 and BAW 1364 can be used for lodging tolerant due to short plant height. The genotypes WMRI Gom 1, BAW 1349 and BAW 1350 can be selected for bold grain and the genotypes WMRI Gom 1,
BAW 1297, BAW 1377 can be used as high yielder for optimum seeding condition but genotypes BAW 1377
and BAW 1366 can be used for late sown condition. The selected resistant genotypes against specific diseases can be used in the further breeding program to develop wheat varieties having higher disease resistance and
yield potential. 相似文献

Strawberry crinkle virus (SCV) is a member of the genus Cytorhabdovirus, family Rhabdovirida, and order Mononegavirales. SCV affects the production of various strawberry cultivars. In this study we investigated the genetic diversity of SCV in strawberry fields based on P3 (movement protein) gene.
Methods and results
The samples were collected from strawberry fields in the Kurdistan Province, Iran. P3 gene from 20 SCV isolates, representing 18 nucleic acid haplotypes, is composed of 729 nucleotides, encoding a protein with 243 amino acids. SCV-P3 sequences shared 98.77%–99.86% nucleotide and 97.5%–100% amino acid sequence identity. Phylogenetic analyses of the new P3 sequences with two previously published SCV-P3 sequences from the Czech Republic showed that there are two major phylogroups (I and II) and three minor phylogroups in the body of the phylogeny, I-1, I-2, II-1. Comparisons of P3 gene sequences revealed a mutational bias, with more differences being transitions than transversions. The ratio of non-synonymous/synonymous nucleotide changes was?<?1, indicating that SCV-P3 gene is under predominantly negative selection.
Conclusions
Phylogenetic and sequence identity analyses showed that SCV isolates from Iran are closely related and have not diverged more than 2% based on P3 gene despite geographical separation and strawberry cultivar. This is the first report of the genetic diversity of SCV worldwide.
