| Aims and introduction
All over the world aphids are pests of economic importance, affecting all varieties of plants like cereal crops, vegetables, ornamental plants and fruits. Aphids damage plants either directly or indirectly. Aphids are one of the major agricultural pests. There are only a few plants that are not susceptible to infestation by this destructive pest. They cause direct damage by sucking the sap of leaves, blocking photosynthesis which results in leaf distortion, gall production, discoloration, stunting, leaf curling, wilting, twisting and premature leaf falls. They are directly involved in transmission of plant viruses and indirectly by depositing honey dew that reduces photosynthetic activity and induces sooty mold... |

| Hemophilia A is the most common hereditary severe disorder of blood clotting. In families affected with hemophilia, genetic analysis provides opportunities to prevent recurrence of the disease. This study establishes a diagnostic strategy for carrier-ship determination in Pakistani population using an extragenic polymorphic marker for the first time. The analysis of St14 VNTR (DXS52) was carried out by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), in order to determine its informativeness in terms of heterozygosity in Pakistani population. This may be a milestone for further analysis of other polymorphic markers for carrier detection and prenatal diagnosis of hemophilia. Seventy eight blood samples (Hemophiliac = 23, Normal = 55) from 15 families were analyzed for... |
