Authors: T.G. Oliveira1, A.M.S. Pereira2, J.S. Coppede2, S.C. Fran�§a2, L.C. Ming1 and B.W. Bertoni2
Croton antisyphiliticus Mart. is a medicinal plant native to Cerrado vegetation in Brazil, and it is popularly used to treat urogenital tract infections. The objective of the present study was to assess the genetic variability of natural C. antisyphiliticus populations using AFLP molecular markers. Accessions were collected in the states of Minas Gerais, .. Read More»

Identification of novel and useful EST-SSR markers from de novo transcriptome sequence of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
Authors: Z.J. Yang, Z.S. Peng and H. Yang
Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are highly informative, polymorphic, and co-dominant Mendelian markers that provide an important genomic resource for genetic research. Recently, the use of large-scale transcriptome sequence has become a reliable and efficient approach for the identification and development of new EST-SSR markers. In this study, 8389 potent..

Three-step method for the amplification of the coxsackievirus A10 genome
Authors: A.Y. Wang1,2*, C.Y. Mu1,3*, C. Chen3, Z. Li1 and Y.H. Xu2
The whole-genome sequencing of coxsackievirus (CV)-A10 does not follow a conventional experimental protocol. To fully understand the genetic variation and evolution of CV-A10, complete genome amplification is necessary. Most previous studies have concentrated on partial sequences of the CV-A10 genome, such as the VP1 gene. The few studies that have invest.. Read More»

Non-parametric approach to the study of phenotypic stability
Authors: D.F. Ferreira1, S.B. Fernandes2, A.T. Bruzi3 and M.A.P. Ramalho2
The aim of this study was to undertake the theoretical derivations of non-parametric methods, which use linear regressions based on rank order, for stability analyses. These methods were extension different parametric methods used for stability analyses and the result was compared with a standard non-parametric method. Intensive computational methods (e.g..

Salicylic acid-induced changes in physiological parameters and genes of the flavonoid biosynthesis pathway in Artemisia vulgaris and Dendranthema nankingense during aphid feeding
Authors: Y. Sun*, X.L. Xia*, J.F. Jiang, S.M. Chen, F.D. Chen and G.S. Lv
Phloem-feeding aphids cause serious damage to plants. The mechanisms of plant-aphid interactions are only partially understood and involve multiple pathways, including phytohormones. In order to investigate whether salicylic acid (SA) is involved and how it plays a part in the defense response to the aphid Macrosiphoniella sanbourni, physiological changes.. Read More»

Development of microsatellite markers in the tetraploid fern Ceratopteris thalictroides (Parkeriaceae) using RAD tag sequencing
Authors: X.Y. Yang1*, Z.C. Long2*, A.W. Gichira2, Y.H. Guo1, Q.F. Wang2 and J.M. Chen2
To understand the genetic variability of the tetraploid fern Ceratopteris thalictroides (Parkeriaceae), we described 30 polymorphic microsatellite markers obtained using the restriction site-associated DNA (RAD) tag sequencing technique. A total of 26 individuals were genotyped for each marker. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 4 to 10, and the .. Read More»

Bovine dopamine receptors DRD1, DRD4, and DRD5: genetic polymorphisms and diversities among ten cattle breeds
Authors: A.M. Sifuentes-Rinc�³n1, A.G. Trejo-Tapia1, R.D. Randel2, P. Ambriz-Morales1 and G.M. Parra-Bracamonte1
The aim of this study was to analyze the allelic frequency distribution and segregation among breeds and/or between different cattle genetic groups of four novel single nucleotide polymorphisms of the bovine DRD1 and DRD5 genes and one reported SNP from the DRD4 gene. One hundred and nine-animals from ten different cattle breeds were genotyped and allelic.. Read More»

Iron translocation in Pleurotus ostreatus basidiocarps: production, bioavailability, and antioxidant activity
Authors: M.E. Yokota1, P.S. Frison1, R.C. Marcante1, L.F. Jorge1, J.S. Valle1, D.C. Dragunski2, N.B. Colauto1 and G.A. Linde10
Translocation of minerals from substrate to mushrooms can change the medicinal characteristics, commercial value, and biological efficiency of mushroom. In the present study, we demonstrated that addition of iron to the substrate reduces the yield of Pleurotus ostreatus mushroom. The biological efficiency of the mushroom varied from 36.53% on the unsupple.. Read More»
