Is differential expression of p16INK4a based on the classification of uterine smooth muscle tumors associated with a different prognosis? A meta-analysis
Authors: H.Y. Cao, S. Yang, S. Wang, L.Y. Deng, J.Y. Lou
We conducted a meta-analysis to examine p16INK4a expression in uterine smooth muscle tumors (USMTs). Although the prognostic value of tumor suppressor p16INK4a has been elucidated in a variety of cancers and precancerous lesions, its role in USMTs is not well established. We searched PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase for publ.. Read More»

Digital phenotyping for quantification of genetic diversity in inbred guava (Psidium guajava) families
Authors: W. Krause, A.P. Viana, N.R. Cavalcante, M. Ambr�³sio, E.A. Santos, H.D. Vieira
Digital image analysis of seeds has been used for the identification of cultivars, determination of seed color and mechanical damage, and classification of different seed sizes. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficiency of digital image analysis of seeds for the quantification of genetic diversity among genot.. Read More»

RNA-Seq-based transcriptome and the reproduction-related genes for the aphid Schlechtendalia chinensis (Hemiptera, Aphididae)
Authors: P. Liu, Z.X. Yang, X.M. Chen, P. Yang
Chinese galls form on sumac plants (Rhus chinensis) and are used for medicinal and chemical purposes, due to their richness in tannins. The galls are formed by aphids, the most prominent of which is Schlechtendalia chinensis, which forms horn-shaped galls on the winged rachis of R. chinensis. S. chinensis has a complex life cy..

Association of RUNX2 and TNFSF11 genes with production traits in a paternal broiler line
Authors: N.V. Grupioni, N.B. Stafuzza, A.B. Carvajal, A.M.G. Ibelli, J.O. Peixoto, M.C. Ledur, D.P. Munari
Intense selection for production traits has improved the genetic gain of important economic traits. However, selection for performance and carcass traits has led to the onset of locomotors problems and decreasing bone strength in broilers. Thus, genes associated with bone integrity traits have become candidates for genetic stu.. Read More»

Identification of 19 loci for reproductive traits in a local Chinese chicken by genome-wide study
Authors: Q.C. Fan, P.F. Wu, G.J. Dai, G.X. Zhang, T. Zhang, Q. Xue,H.Q. Shi, J.Y. Wang
Reproductive traits have long been studied and have an important influence on chicken breeding. To identify quantitative trait loci affecting reproductive traits, a genome-wide analysis of a Chinese chicken breed was performed to analyze age at first egg body weight at first egg, first egg weight, egg weight at the age of 300 ..

Myrciaria dubia, an Amazonian fruit: population structure and its implications for germplasm conservation and genetic improvement
Authors: C.F. Nunes, T.A. Setotaw, M. Pasqual, E.A. Chagas, E.G. Santos,D.N. Santos, C.G.B. Lima, G.M.A. Can�§ado
Myrciaria dubia (camu-camu) is an Amazon tree that produces a tart fruit with high vitamin C content. It is probably the fruit with the highest vitamin C content among all Brazilian fruit crops and it can be used to supplement daily vitamin C dose. This property has attracted the attention of consumers and, consequently, encou.. Read More»

Effect of photoperiod on serum hormone concentrations during the annual reproductive cycle in geese
Authors: X.Z. Zhao, G.L. Gao, H.W. Wang, Q. Li, K.S. Zhang,H. Zhong, Q.G. Wang
The poor egg-laying rate of geese hinders the development of the goose industry; therefore, the reproductive performance of geese is an important area of investigation. To evaluate the relationship between photoperiod, reproductive hormones, and reproductive activity during the egg-laying cycle in geese under natural condition.. Read More»

A study on natural recovery of tassel fertilization and doubling method in maize haploids
Authors: L. Jiang, X.Y. Yang, X.Y. Li, P.K. Deng, G.X. Jing, X.Q. Wang,Z. Xing, R.G. Zhao
Doubling method is the technical barriers in maize haploid breeding. It was very important to establish the independent intellectual property rights for doubling method. In this experiment, the maize haploid inducer, TG15, was used for producing maternal haploids. Also, haploids were obtained from two kinds of maternal genotyp.. Read More»
