Genetic diversity among accessions of Capsicum annuum L. through morphoagronomic characters
Authors: Angela Maria dos Santos Pessoa, Elizanilda Ramalho do R�ªgo, Michelle Gon�§alves de Carvalho, Cristine Agrine Pereira dos Santos, Mailson Monteiro do R�ªgo
Genetic variability among pepper genotypes is essential in obtaining hybrid combinations with greater heterotic effect and in obtaining superior strains. This work’s goal was to evaluate the genetic diversity between accessions of Capsicum annuum L., indicating the selection of promising individuals for ornamental purpos.. Read More»

Agronomic performance of plantain genotypes and genetic variability using Ward-MLM algorithm
Authors: Z. S. Gon�§alves, D. R. S. da Inven�§�£o, C. A. da S. Ledo, C. F. Ferreira, E. P. Amorim
Plantains in Brazil are produced from the `Terra Maranhão’, ‘Terrinha’ and ‘D´Angola’ cultivars, which are all susceptible to black Sigatoka, weevils and nematodes. Therefore, the development of resistant plantain cultivars with agronomic characteristics aligned with market demands i.. Read More»

Retrospective Investigation of Interleukin 1 and 6 Gene Polymorphism among Elderly Patients with Sarcopenia in the Turkish Population
Authors: Pinar Tosun Tasar
Introduction: Sarcopenia, one of the geriatric syndromes, is defined as generalized and progressive reduction in skeletal muscle mass accompanied by loss of muscle strength and/or function. There is a paucity of research in the Turkish population about the effects of interleukin 1 (IL-1) and IL-6 gene polymorphism on sarcopeni.. Read More»

Development and characterization of twenty-eight polymorphic microsatellite for rice field eel (Monopterus albus) using RAD tag sequencing
Authors: Feifei Zhang, Yulan Wang, Min Xu, Lili Wei, Qiwang Zhong
Monopterus albus is a special economic aquatic animal in China. Most of cultured M. albus are wild species captured from different areas, and this makes the wild resources of M. albus are under great threat. Microsatellite markers can help us understand the genetic resources of M. albus in different areas. In this study, using.. Read More»

Characterization of Genetic Diversity and Linkage Disequilibrium of ZmNAC33 in Maize
Authors: Wenping Liu, Chunxiao Zhang, Shufang Li, Fengxue Jin, Wanjun Li, Xiaohui Li
The maize NAC gene, encoding a NAC domain transcription factor, plays vital roles in the growth process of maize under abiotic stresses. To investigate the response of ZmNAC33 to salinity stress, we analyzed the expression of the ZmNAC33 gene in roots and leaves of three-leaf stage seedlings among maize inbred lines. The resul..

Prenatal diagnosis of ventricular septal defect and trisomy 7q11.23q21.3 in two fetuses: A case report
Authors: Kai Mu, Li-Sha Chen, Juan Wen, Yi Liu, Na Liu, Dong-Hua Cao
The objective of prenatal diagnosis (PD) is to provide prenatal diagnostic testing services for genetic conditions that enable families to make informed choices consistent with their individual needs and values, and to support them in deal with the outcome of such testing. This case we reported is about two fetuses with ventri.. Read More»

Bell’s palsy following growth hormone therapy in a patient with Prader-Willi syndrome: The first report
Authors: Setila Dalili, Elham Bidabadi, Babak Behnam
Prader–Willi syndrome (PWS) is a complex genetic disorder with different manifestations in infancy and childhood including obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, mild to moderate intellectual impairment and learning disabilities. In this syndrome, growth hormone therapy improves outcomes. For the first time, here we report a.. Read More»

Characterization of gametophytic self-incompatibility of superior clones of Coffea canephora
Authors: M.S. Moraes, A.L. Teixeira, A.R. Ramalho, M.C. EspÃ?Ândula, M.A.G FerrÃ?£o and R.B. Rocha
The ability to avoid self-pollination is a trait that evolved as a manner of reducing the deleterious effects of inbreeding in various allogamous plant species, including Coffea canephora. The aim of this study was to perform directed hybridizations to characterize the compatibility groups of superior C. canephora clones, sinc.. Read More»
