Use of transgenic seeds in Brazilian agriculture and concentration of agricultural production to large agribusinesses
Authors: C.D. Marinho, F.J.O. Martins, A.T. Amaral J�ºnior, L.S.A. Gon�§alves, S.C.S. Amaral and M.P. de Mello
We identified the commercial releases of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in Brazil, their characteristics, the types of genetic transformation used, and the companies responsible for the development of these GMOs, classifying them into two categories: private companies, subdivided into multinational and national, and pub..

Case report of isochromosome 17q in acute myeloid leukemia with myelodysplasia-related changes after treatment with a hypomethylating agent
Authors: J.C. Sousa, R.T. Germano, C.C.M. Castro, S.M.M. Magalhaes and R.F. Pinheiro
Isochromosome 17q is a relatively common karyotypic abnormality in medulloblastoma, gastric, bladder, and breast cancers. In myeloid disorders, it is observed during disease progression and evolution to acute myeloid leukemia in Philadelphia-positive chronic myeloid leukemia. It has been reported in rare cases of myelodysplast.. Read More»

Combined genetic and imaging diagnosis for two large Chinese families affected with Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease
Authors: Y. Lv, L.H. Cao2, H. Pang, L.N. Lu, J.L. Li, Y. Fu, S.L. Qi4, Y. Luo and J. Li-Ling
Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease (PMD) is a rare X-linked recessive disorder characterized by nystagmus, impaired motor development, ataxia, and progressive spasticity. Genetically defective or altered levels of proteolipid protein (PLP1) or gap-junction alpha protein 12 gene have been found to be a common cause. Here we report on.. Read More»

Diversity of propanil-degrading bacteria isolated from rice rhizosphere and their potential for plant growth promotion
Authors: A.R.L. Proc�³pio, R.E.L. Proc�³pio, A.A. Pizzirani-Kleiner and I.S. Melo
The herbicide propanil has long been used in rice production in southern Brazil. Bacteria isolated from contaminated soils in Massaranduba, Santa Catarina, Brazil, were found to be able to grow in the presence of propanil, using this compound as a carbon source. Thirty strains were identified as Pseudomonas (86.7%), Serratia (.. Read More»

Spermatogenesis of riffle bugs, Rhagovelia whitei and Rhagovelia sp (Veliidae), and backswimmers Martarega sp (Notonectidae)
Authors: M.M.U. Castanhole, L.L.V. Pereira, H.V. de Souza and M.M. Itoyama
We examined the course of spermatogenesis and the meiotic chromosome complements in aquatic species of true bugs, Heteroptera. The chromosome complement of the Veliidae species was 2n = 39 (38A + X0) and 23 (22A + X0) in Rhagovelia whitei and Rhagovelia sp, respectively, and in the species of the Notonectidae (Martarega sp) it..

A broad expression profile of the GMR-GAL4 driver in Drosophila melanogaster
Authors: W.-Z. Li, S.-L. Li, H.Y. Zheng, S.-P. Zhang and L. Xue
The GAL4/UAS binary system has been widely used in Drosophila melanogaster for ectopic expression of transgenes in a tissue-specific manner. The GMR-GAL4 driver, which expresses the yeast transcription factor GAL4 under the control of glass multiple reporter (GMR) promoter elements, has been commonly utilized to express target..

Genetic characterization of fig tree mutants with molecular markers
Authors: M.G.F. Rodrigues, A.B.G. Martins, J.A. Desid�©rio, B.W. Bertoni and M.C. Alves
The fig (Ficus carica L.) is a fruit tree of great world importance and, therefore, the genetic improvement becomes an important field of research for better crops, being necessary to gather information on this species, mainly regarding its genetic variability so that appropriate propagation projects and management are made.

Age-related changes in mitochondrial UCP, ANT and COX III gene expression in the breast muscle of quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica)
Authors: E. Gasparino, A.P. Del Vesco, S.E.F. Guimar�£es, S.C.C. da Silva, S.M. Marcato, A.R. de Oliveira Neto and K.R.S. Sousa
Efficient conversion of food into body mass has been associated with altered gene expression of some proteins of the electron transport chain. We evaluated the effect of age on mRNA expression of uncoupling protein, adenine nucleotide translocase and cytochrome c oxidase complex III in quails. One-day-old broiler quails were s.. Read More»
