COMPARATIVE CHLOROPLAST GENOME ANALYSIS OF FIVE WIDESPREAD SPECIES (ZANTHOXYLUM L.) AND DEVELOPMENT OF MOLECULAR MARKERS FOR THEIR DISCRIMINATION

Comparative chloroplast genome analysis of five widespread species (Zanthoxylum L.) and development of molecular markers for their discrimination

BackgroundZanthoxylum L., an important genus in the Rutaceae family, has great edible and medical values.However, the high degree of morphological similarity among Zanthoxylum species and the lack of sufficient chloroplast (cp) genomic resources have greatly impeded germplasm identification and phylogenetic analyses of Zanthoxylum.MethodsHere we as

To verify whether high-fat diet prepared from commercial diet plus chocolate, roasted peanuts and corn cookies induces hypercholesterolemia in mice and whether there is any hepatic involvement in this type of animal testing.Swiss mice received dea eyewear a high-fat diet for 15 and 30 days; plasma cholesterol, triglycerides and glucose rates were d
