Authors: F.A. Saiki, A.P. Bernardi, M.S. Reis, H. Faoro, E.M. Souza, F.O. Pedrosa, A. Mantovani and A.F. Guidolin
Mimosa scabrella Benth., popularly known as ‘‘bracatinga’’, is a pioneer and endemic species of Brazil, occurring in Mixed Ombrophilous Forest associated with Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest biomes. It is a fast-growing tree of the Fabaceae family that facilitates the dynamics of ecological succession. SS.. Read More»

Chloroplast diversity of Casearia grandiflora in the Cerrado of Piau� State
Authors: M.F. Costa, A.A. Pereira, J.B. Pinheiro, M.I. Zucchi, A.S.F. Ara�ºjo, R.L.F. Gomes, S.E.S. Valente, M.E.A. Oliveira and A.C.A. Lopes
Casearia grandiflora (Salicaceae) is a typical Cerrado species adapted to disturbed environments, making it useful for restoration projects. Knowledge of genetic diversity is important for establishing conservation strategies for this species. This study aimed to compare chloroplast haplotype diversity and structure of C. gran..

Differential expression of hENT1 and hENT2 in colon cancer cell lines
Authors: Y. Liu, T. Zuo, X. Zhu, N. Ahuja and T. Fu
Human equilibrative nucleoside transporters (hENT) 1 and 2, encoded by SLC29A1 and SLC29A2, permit the bidirectional passage of nucleoside analogues into cells and may correlate with clinical responses to chemotherapy in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the expression profiles of.. Read More»

Polyandrous behavior in an overexploited giant South American turtle (Podocnemis expansa) population in Central Amazon, Brazil
Authors: C. Fantin, J. Morais, R. Botero-Arias, C. Ara�ºjo, C. Camillo and I.P. Farias
The aim of the present study was to investigate the reproductive behavior of the giant Amazon River turtle (Podocnemis expansa) in the Amazon. This was carried out by estimating the degree of polymorphism in five DNA microsatellites in a sample of 359 hatchlings from 12 nests in the Mamirauá Sustainable Development Rese.. Read More»

Dysregulation of gene expression in a patient with depressive disorder after transient ischemic attack confirmed by a neurophysiological neuromarker
Authors: M. Trystu��a, M. �»ychowska, M. Wilk-Fra��czuk, J.D. Kropotov and M. P��chalska
The aim of this study was to evaluate dysregulation of gene expression associated with the cellular stress response in a patient with a post-“warning stroke” depressive disorder confirmed by the presence of a neurophysiological neuromarker through the use of quantitative EEG and event-related potentials. The patien.. Read More»

Genetic relationships in a germplasm collection of Camellia japonica and Camellia oleifera using SSR analysis
Authors: Y. Zhao, C.J. Ruan, G.J. Ding and S. Mopper
Camellia japonica produces different color and bigger flowers, widely being used for gardening green in southern China. However, cultivars were introduced from different regions, but their origin and pedigree information is either not available poorly documented, causing problems in authentication. Many low-yield trees in Came.. Read More»

Assessment of genetic diversity of cotton genotypes for various economic traits against cotton leaf curl disease (CLCuD)
Authors: M. Javed, S.B. Hussain and M. Baber
In Pakistan, cotton crop has been under enormous threat of cotton leaf curl disease (CLCuD) over the last four decades. In order to estimate genetic diversity in cotton germplasm CLCuD resistance, we assessed 100 cotton genotypes for their CLCuD resistance/tolerance and other related agronomical traits. Various statistical ana.. Read More»

Inhibition of mitochondrial calcium uptake 1 in Drosophila neurons
Authors: P.G. M�Angale and B.E. Staveley
The mitochondrial calcium uptake 1 (MICU1) is a regulatory subunit of the mitochondrial calcium uniporter that plays an important role in calcium sensing. It contains two EF-hand domains that are well conserved across diverse species from protozoa to plants and metazoans. The loss of MICU1 function in mammals is attributed to .. Read More»
