Comparative transcriptome analysis of self-incompatible flower stigmas and self-compatible bud stigmas following self-pollination in broccoliComparative transcriptome analysis of self-incompatible flower stigmas and self-compatible bud stigmas followingself-pollination in broccoli

Authors: H.F. Yu, J.S. Wang, X.G. Sheng, Z.Q. Zhao, Z.R. Qi H.H. Gu

DH07 is a DH line of Class I S-haplotype in broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica), in which stigmas of flowers show self-incompatibility (SI) and stigmas of buds show self-compatibility (SC). The molecular mechanisms that lead to stigmas at different developmental stages having different responses to self-pollination are y.. Read More»

Effect of a high-concentrate diet on milk components and mammary health in Holstein dairy cows

Authors: Z.L. Xie, J. Zhang, D.M. Zhang, J.F. Li, Y.H. Lin

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»

Characterization of maize genotypes for genetic diversity on the basis of inter simple sequence repeats

Authors: R.W. Muhammad, A. Qayyum, M.Q. Ahmad, A. Hamza, M. Yousaf, B. Ahmad, M. Younas, W. Malik, S. Liaqat, E. Noor

Genetic diversity in crops is essential to make improvements related to superior germplasms. Implementation of molecular markers to identify suitable genotypes speeds up the breeding progress by enhancing selection efficiency. This study was carried out to probe genetic diversity among 21 maize genotypes using 20 inter simple .. Read More»

Fluorescence Image Analyzer - FLIMA: software for quantitative analysis of fluorescence in situ hybridization

Authors: H.C.M. Silva, M.M.C. Martins-J�ºnior, L.B. Ribeiro, D.A. Matoso

The Fluorescence Image Analyzer (FLIMA) software was developed for the quantitative analysis of images generated by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Currently, the images of FISH are examined without a coefficient that enables a comparison between them. Through GD Graphics Library, the FLIMA software calculates the a.. Read More»

Evaluation of perfused bovine udder for gene expression studies in dairy cows

Authors: I.S.B. Pinto, I. Fonseca, H.M. Brand�£o, J.C. Gern3, A.S. Guimar�£es, W.A. Carvalho, M.A.V.P. Brito, L.F. Viccini, M.F. Martins

Intramammary infections are one of the main causes of productivity loss in dairy cows. To better understand the immune system response and to avoid the use of live animals, we validated the use of isolated bovine udder as an ex situ model. Six mammary glands were collected from cows ready for culling. Three udders were perfuse.. Read More»

Genetic and molecular characterization of multiflorous spikelet in oat

Authors: C.M. Zimmer, I.P. Ubert, K. Pellizzaro, L.C. Federizzi, I.C. Nava

Multiflorous spikelets are found in several grass species of agricultural and economic interest. In oat, this morphological characteristic is associated with the production of naked grains. Although many genetic studies have been performed over the past century, the inheritance of the multiflorous spikelet trait is not fully u.. Read More»
