Serum proteomic spectral characteristics of acute myeloid leukemia and their clinical significance
Authors: R.-J. Zheng, R.-J. Wu and X.-D. Ma
We investigated the differences between the serum proteomic spectral characteristics of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients and those of healthy people. We collected peripheral blood serum samples from 62 AML patients and 15 healthy controls. After removing high-abundance proteins, low-abundance serum proteins were separated.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of Bromeliaceae species from the Atlantic Forest
Authors: Y. Sheu, A.S. Cunha-Machado, A.B.P.L. Gontijo, F.C. Favoreto,T.C.B. Soares and F.D. Miranda
The Bromeliaceae family includes a range of species used for many purposes, including ornamental use and use as food, medicine, feed, and fiber. The state of Espírito Santo, Brazil is a center of diversity for this family in the Atlantic Forest. We evaluated the genetic diversity of five populations of the Bromeliaceae .. Read More»

Molecular identification of cetaceans from the West Atlantic using the E3-I5 region of COI
Authors: L.H.O. Falc�£o, A.S. Campos, J.E.P. Freitas, M.A.A. Furtado-Neto and V.V. Faria
Molecular identification is very useful in cases where morphology-based species identification is not possible. Examples for its application in cetaceans include the identification of carcasses of stranded animals in advanced state of decomposition and body parts that are illegally traded. One DNA region that is often used for.. Read More»

Chromosomal evolution in large pelagic oceanic apex predators, the barracudas (Sphyraenidae, Percomorpha)
Authors: R.X. Soares, M.B. Cioffi, L.A.C. Bertollo, A.T. Borges, G.W.W.F. Costa and W.F. Molina
Sphyraena (barracudas) represents the only genus of the Sphyraenidae family and includes 27 species distributed into the tropical and subtropical oceanic regions. These pelagic predators can reach large sizes and, thus, attracting significant interest from commercial and sport fishing. Evolutionary data for this fish group, as.. Read More»

Phylogeography and population structure analysis reveals diversity by mutations in Lasiodiplodia theobromae with distinct sources of selection
Authors: P.H.D. Santos, B.M. Carvalho, K.P. Aguiar, F.A.S. Aredes, T.P.S. Poltronieri, J.M.S. Vivas, V. Mussi Dias, G.A. Bezerra, D.B. Pinho, M.G. Pereira and S.F. Silveira
Lasiodiplodia theobromae is a plant pathogen with a worldwide distribution, with low host specificity, causing stem cankers, dieback diseases, and fruit rot in several species of plants. In coconut, this pathogen is reported as the etiological agent of “coconut leaf blight” (CLB) disease, causing several losses in .. Read More»

Expression of catalase, alcohol dehydrogenase, and malate dehydrogenase in rot grains upon fungicide use on maize hybrids grown at different spacings
Authors: E.R. Kluge, M.C. Mendes, M.V. Faria, H.O. Santos, L.A. Santos and I.E. Sandini
In this study, we evaluated the fungicide effect on the incidence of rot grains and expression of catalase (CAT), alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), and malate dehydrogenase (MDH) enzymes in commercial maize hybrids grown with conventional and reduced spacing in Guarapuava, PR, Brazil. The experiment was designed in random blocks wi.. Read More»

Inheritance of bacterial spot resistance in Capsicum annuum var. annuum
Authors: L.R.A. Silva, R. Rodrigues, S. Pimenta, J.W.S. Correa, M.S.B. Ara�ºjo, C.S. Bento and C.P. Sudr�©
Since 2008, Brazil is the largest consumer of agrochemicals, which increases production costs and risks of agricultural products, environment, and farmers’ contamination. Sweet pepper, which is one of the main consumed vegetables in the country, is on top of the list of the most sprayed crops. The bacterial spot, caused .. Read More»

Polymorphisms of AluI and Hin1I loci of the IGF-1R gene and their genetic effects on growth traits in Bian chickens
Authors: P.F. Wu, D. Wang, C.F. Jin, X.Q. Zhang, H.Q. Wu, L. Zhang, F.X. Ding, K. Z. Xie and G.X. Zhang
Growth traits are important economic traits in broiler chicken production. AluI and Hin1I loci are two restriction sites, which are respectively located in exons 2 and 3 of the IGF-1R gene. These two loci are significantly related to the growth traits in Jinghai Yellow chickens. In this study, a correlation analysis was perfor.. Read More»
