Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Investigation of Organelle Genomes of Extra Nuclear Sunflower Mutants with Variegated PhenotypeIrina Dremuk, Nikolay Kozel, Mariya Logacheva et al.The comparative analysis of complete chloroplast and mitochondrial DNA sequences of the original inbred line 3629 and three extra nuclear mutant lines variegated-1, variegated-15, variegated-17, obtained by the N-nitroso-N-methylurea induced mutagenesis, was done. The studied mutant lines were presented two different phenotypes with diverse chlorophyll content: Pale/green mutant line variegated-17 with 1.8% relative (to 3629 line) chlorophyll content in mutant … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 24 Oct 2017 · 7,638 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleInvestigation and Comparison of the Quantitative and Qualitative Frequency Distribution of the RiversVijay P. Singh, Mohsen Ghane, Kaveh Ostad-Ali-Askari et al.The entrance of pollutants from human activities to the surface water has seriously threatened the quality of water. TDS is an important qualitative parameter of water that describes the water salinity by measuring the concentration of total dissolved solids. First, using TDS and discharge data of the Cuyahoga River, Ohio, the partial and annual data sets were obtained. Then, partial … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 16 Oct 2017 · 8,495 accessesView PDFCite
