This study was aimed to assess expression of IL-22 gene in patients with newly diagnosed autoantibodies against the thyroid antigens; anti-thyroglobulin (anti-TG), and anti-thyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO) in comparison with patients previously diagnosed and treated for autoimmune hypothyroidism as well as healthy control individuals. Twenty-eight patients with positive anti-TG and/or anti-TPO were enrolled in this study along with twelve age- and gender-matched healthy controls. Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to assess gene expression and fold change among the study groups. Results revealed anti-TG concentration ranges of 134.3 to 2998.9 IU/mL and anti-TPO concentration ranges of 41.6 to 1018.4 IU/mL in patients while control group individuals were negative for these autoantibodies. The mean fold change of IL-22 expression (2-∆∆Ct) was the highest in newly diagnosed patients compared to patients on treatment for autoimmune hypothyroidism and healthy controls indicating the potential role of IL-22 in the early stages of the disease and its contribution in immune imbalance.

This study was aimed to investigate the genetic variability of 26 rice genotypes and evaluation at two locations in Sulaimani governorate, Gaba and Chawtan which were completely different in their environmental condition during the season of 2019. The performances of the genotypes were analyzed at both locations as well as the average of both. Simple coefficients of correlation were used to assess the grain yield components and their relationships. Path analysis was used to determine the direct and indirect effects of such components on grain yield plant-1. The genotypes were grouped based on the agro-morphological features using cluster analysis. Almost all of the traits at both locations and the average of both locations showed highly significant differences; Chawtan outperformed Gaba location for the traits no. of tillers plant-1, no. of panicle plant-1, 1000-grain weight, and plant-1 grain yield, whereas higher values were found for plant height and no. of grains panicle-1 for Gaba location. At both locations, there was a highly significant and positive association between the number of tillers and panicles in plant-1 and grain yield plant-1. The number of panicle plants-1 had the most favorable direct effects on grain yield at both locations. At both locations, the highest positive indirect effect on grain output was provided by the number of tillers plant-1 via the number of panicle plant-1. Based on the agro-morphological features, the rice genotypes were grouped into 5 clusters at both locations. At both locations, Cluster V gave better values regarding grain yield.

This study was aimed to investigate the significant wheat yield losses in northern and central Iraq. The cause of these losses was examining the presence of wheat curl mite Aceria tosichella and three viruses vectored by this species – Wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV), High Plains wheat mosaic virus (HPWMoV), and Triticum mosaic virus (TriMV). Mite specimens were collected from Erbil, Mosul, and Baghdad over three years (2020-2022) and identified using morphological characterization and DNA sequencing of the ITS region. Virus presence was determined using Double Antibody Sandwich-Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (DAS-ELISA). Mites were identified conclusively as A. tosichella, providing the first record of this species in Iraq. All three viruses were found to be present, with WSMV having the largest presence as it was detected in 99.56%, then HPWMoV (79.5%) of mite colonies. This is the first record of HPWMoV anywhere in Eurasia besides Ukraine and its widespread presence in Iraq in all three sampled provinces. TriMV was detected only in Erbil. To date this virus has been recorded only in North America and its limited presence in Iraq. The confirmed presence of A. tosichella and three vectored-viruses in Iraq are all new records and critical information for reducing wheat yield losses in this country.

The aim of this study was to compare the effect of boron and nanoboron" on histomorphology of the small intestine in layer chickens. 210 day-old chicks were used and were randomly assigned to seven equal groups. The experiment, groups were exposed to both normal boron and nano-boron as follows:G1 received 15 mg/L of boron in their drinking water, G2 got 25 mg/L, G3 got 45 mg/L, while groups nano boron as following G4 got 15 mg/L, G5 got 25 mg/L, G6 got 45 mg/L of nano-boron, and G7 was not given any treatment. By using a light microscope, the histomorphology result of intestine was examine to determine the villi's height, thickness, crypt depth, and muscle thickness. The measurements of villi height, crypt depth, and muscle thickness showed a significant difference (P≤0.05) between all treated groups (nanoboron at G5,G6 than normal boron) in comparison with control group, with the highest mean in G6(NB) in all measures of intestine. The findings of this study concluded that the adding of "boron and nanoboron" to consumption water improved the structure of intestine, and this was particularly evident at high nanoboron concentrations.

This study was designed to investigate the influence of different gestation periods on serum estrogen, progesterone and biochemical attributes levels in Awassi ewes. Ten ewes of 2-5 years old and 35-50 kg live body weight were used currently during the period from September 2019 to February 2020. Estrogen concentration seemed to decline since 2nd month and reached its lesser level at 4th month and re-increased at 5th month of gestation. The progesterone level increased (P≤0.05) at 2nd and 3rd months and decreased at 5th month of gestation. Serum Cholesterol, glucose, total protein, albumin and glubulin were decreased (P≤0.05) at the last gestation period. AST, ALT, and ALP activities take similar trend being decreased at the last gestation period. In conclusion estrogen, progesterone and other blood biochemical parameters were changed obviously during different gestation periods of Awassi ewes.

A factorial in randomized complete block design (RCBD), with three replicates, including three seeding rates (200,250, and300seeds.m-2), and three grain size grades of Admiral variety of triticale whole (ungraded), thousand seed weight (TSW) 47.32g, heavy seeds 54.04g and light seeds 40.18g; for two successive growing seasons 2019-2020 and 2020-2021. The results revealed that spike length resembled number of spikelets per spike, grain density and number of grain per spike as seeding rate 200 with whole seeds attained highest value. Great differences between the two seasons were obvious, which was attributed to shortage in rainfall in the second season(407.1mm and 165.4mm). The interaction of seeding rate 200 with heavy size seeds resulted in maximum biological yield (6233 kg.ha-1). The interaction of target seed rate 200 with heavy seeds resulted in maximum grain yield(2895 kg.ha-1). Harvest index was highest value for interaction of seed rate 300 with light seed size which was(4.8). Thousand kernels weight give superior weight for the interaction of rate 200 seeds with heavy grade size(52.02g), the second season was clearly obvious as heavy grade resulted in heavier seeds significantly(14.88g) although it was very small atrophic seeds due to shortage of rainfall. Protein content as percentage was significantly affected by seeding rate, seed grade and their interaction for the first season protein% at 200 seeding rate surpassed other rates(12.04%). Seed grade of whole ungraded seeds resulted in higher protein(12.25%). With respect of the interaction, the highest values was (13.03%) for whole seeds with target rate 200 seeds.m-2.
