De novo transcriptome assembly of sugarcane leaves submitted to prolonged water-deficit stress
Authors: A.A. Belesini, F.M.S. Carvalho, B.R. Telles, G.M. de Castro, P.F. Giachetto, J.S. Vantini, S.D. Carlin, J.O. Cazetta, D.G. Pinheiro and M.I.T. Ferro
Sugarcane production is strongly influenced by drought, which is a limiting factor for agricultural productivity in the world. In this study, the gene expression profiles obtained by de novo assembly of the leaf transcriptome of two sugarcane cultivars that differ in their physiological response to water deficit were evaluated..

Selecting sugarcane genotypes by the selection index reveals high gain for technological quality traits
Authors: L.A. Silva, P.E. Teodoro, L.A. Peixoto, C. Assis, K. Gasparini, M.H.P. Barbosa and L.L. Bhering
Sugarcane (Saccharum sp) is one of the most promising crops and researchers have sought for renewable alternative energy sources to reduce CO2 emission. The study of strategies, which allow breeders in the selection of superior genotypes for many traits simultaneously, is important. Therefore, the objectives of this study were.. Read More»

Identification of reference genes for RT-qPCR analysis in peach genotypes with contrasting chilling requirements
Authors: N. Marini, C.B. Bevilacqua, M.V. B�¼ttow, M.C.B. Raseira and S. Bonow
Selecting and validating reference genes are the first steps in studying gene expression by reverse transcriptase-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The present study aimed to evaluate the stability of five reference genes for the purpose of normalization when studying gene expression in various cultivars of Pru.. Read More»

Morphological descriptors and ISSR molecular markers in the evaluation of genetic variability of Tectona grandis genotypes
Authors: A.M. Chimello, J.G. Jesus, P.E. Teodoro, A.A.B. Rossi, K.L. Ara�ºjo, T.N. Marostega, L.G. Neves and M.A.A. Barelli
This study aimed to evaluate the genetic variability of the teak germplasm bank, using morphological traits and inter-simple sequence repeat molecular markers. Thirty clones were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replicates, and each plot was composed of three plants. A joint analysis of quantitative a.. Read More»

Assessment of allelic diversity among drought-resistant cotton genotypes using microsatellite markers
Authors: A. Javaid, F.S. Awan, F.M. Azhar and I.A. Khan
Drought, in conjunction with high temperature, is an important environmental constraint to cotton production. Development of cotton varieties with increased tolerance against adverse environmental conditions has been proposed as effective strategy for ensuring reliable yields. In the present study, 30 simple sequence repeat (S.. Read More»

Genetic divergence among corn hybrids and combining ability for agronomic and bromatological traits of silage
Authors: E. Gralak, M.V. Faria, A.S.T. Figueiredo, D.A. Rizzardi, M. Neumann, M.C. Mendes, C.A. Scapim and S. Galbeiro
We assessed the impact of genetic divergence and the ability to combine corn hybrids used for the production of silage on the agronomic and bromatological traits of silage quality. We evaluated 18 corn hybrids used as genitors in a circulant diallel scheme in which each genitor hybrid participated in 9 hybrid combinations, and.. Read More»

SETD5 gene variant associated with mild intellectual disability - a case report
Authors: E. Stur, L.A. Soares and I.D. Louro
The recent advent of exome sequencing has allowed for the identification of pathogenic gene variants responsible for a variety of diseases that were previously clinically diagnosed, with no underlying molecular etiology. Among these conditions, intellectual disability is a prevalent heterogeneous condition, presenting itself i.. Read More»

Polymorphisms in the melatonin receptor gene promoter and their associations with fertility characteristics in buffalo herd in Eastern Amazon
Authors: E.M. Barbosa, B.B. Souza, R.C. Guimar�£es, L.K.N. Silva, J.S.N. Azevedo, E.C. Gon�§alves, H.F.L. Ribeiro, S.T. Rolim Filho and E. Silva Filho
Buffalo production is spreading globally because of its economic advantage. Then, it has become necessary to improve the reproductive and productive efficiency of these animals, as well as to look for genetic factors that increase this efficiency. The objectives of this study were to characterize the promoter region of the mel.. Read More»
