Analysis of genetic diversity of Hyptis pectinata (L.) Poit. plants using ISSR markers
Authors: R.B. Feitosa-Alcantara, A.V.C. Silva, A.F. Blank, C.S. Almeida, S.V. Alvares-Carvalho and M.F. Arrigoni-Blank
Hyptis pectinata, popularly known as ‘sambacaitá’ or ‘canudinho’, is a medicinal and aromatic species widely used in the Brazilian Northeast. In Sergipe, the excessive extraction of natural resources may reduce the genetic variability of native plants. Thus, molecular markers have frequently been.. Read More»

Physiological and enzymatic alterations in sesame seeds submitted to different osmotic potentials
Authors: R.M.O. Pires, M.A.B. Ã?Â?vila, D.G. Leite, H.O. Santos, G.A. Souza and E.V.R. Von Pinho
With the imminence of global climate changes that affect the temperature and the rainfall uniformity, it is growing the concern about the adaptation of crops to the water deficit. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate alterations in physiological and enzymatic mechanisms during the germination process of sesame see.. Read More»

miR-367 promotes uveal melanoma cell proliferation and migration by regulating PTEN
Authors: J.W. Ling, P.R. Lu, Y.B. Zhang, S. Jiang and Z.C. Zhang
We aimed to investigate the biological role of miR-367 in uveal melanoma cell growth and migration, and the underlying mechanism responsible. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was performed to evaluate miR-367 expression in uveal melanoma tissue samples and cell lines. A miR-367 mimic, miR-367 inhibitor, and neg.. Read More»

Correlation analysis of ADAMTS-4, VCAM-1, and TAK1 expression in cartilage tissue from spine tuberculosis
Authors: Z.X. Qiu, Z.S. Sha, X.M. Che and M.Y. Wang
A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 4 (ADAMTS-4) can effectively degrade articular cartilage matrix proteoglycan and damage the intervertebral disc of spinal tuberculosis patients, resulting in deterioration of the physical properties of articular cartilage. Transforming growth factor β activate.. Read More»

Genetic diversity analysis in Malaysian giant prawns using expressed sequence tag microsatellite markers for stock improvement program
Authors: K.H. Atin, A. Christianus, N. Fatin, A.C. Lutas, M. Shabanimofrad and B. Subha
The Malaysian giant prawn is among the most commonly cultured species of the genus Macrobrachium. Stocks of giant prawns from four rivers in Peninsular Malaysia have been used for aquaculture over the past 25 years, which has led to repeated harvesting, restocking, and transplantation between rivers. Consequently, a stock impr.. Read More»

Selection of Jatropha full-sib families based on genotypic adaptability and stability via mixed models
Authors: E.V. Rodrigues, P.E. Teodoro, L.A. Peixoto, L.A. Silva, B.G. Laviola and L.L. Bhering
The objectives of this study were to estimate the genetic parameters for Jatropha full-sib families and to select superior genotypes based on grain yield, adaptability, and stability simultaneously to be used for cloning and crossings. Grain yield was evaluated in thirteen full-sib families in a randomized block design for 5 y.. Read More»

Genetic diversity analyses of tropical goats from some countries of Middle East
Authors: R.M. Al-Atiyat
The genetic structure of 10 goat breeds from four countries of the Middle East and Horn of Africa was investigated at 17 microsatellite loci. The average allele number and richness were 9.65 and 5.78, respectively. The mean expected heterozygosity per population was 0.703, 0.715, 0.719, 0.699, 0.749, 0.719, 0.731, 0.721, 0.719.. Read More»

Diallel analysis for agronomic traits in upland cotton in semi-arid zones in Brazil
Authors: D.R. Queiroz, F.J.C. Farias, J.J.C. Vasconcelos, L.P. Carvalho, D.G. Neder, L.S.S. Souza, F.C. Farias and P.E. Teodoro
This study aimed to estimate the general- (GCA) and specific-combining ability (SCA) and obtain information on the genetic control of agronomic traits among six upland cotton genotypes and their hybrid combinations. In 2015, six cotton genotypes (FM 993, CNPA 04-2080, PSC 355, TAM B 139-17, IAC 26, and TAMCOT-CAMD-E), and fift.. Read More»
