Two marine sponges-associated cultivable bacteria: Diversity and biological activities
Authors: Fehmida Bibi*, Sana Akhtar Alvi, Abdulmohsin Al-Sofyani, Muhammad Yasir, Eman Ahmed Kensarah and Esam Ibraheem Azhar
Marine sponges harbor diverse bacterial communities. Sponge associated bacteria produce potential secondary metabolites of medical use. Little is known about sponge associated diversity from red sea therefore, we have collected two sponge samples i.e., Pione vastifica and Siphonochalinna siphonella collected from north of red ..

How efficiently Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) identify prolificity-determining genes in sheep
Authors: Magda V Benavides, Carlos Jos�© H Souza, Jos�© Carlos F. Moraes
Genome wide association studies are performed to narrow down or, better still, pinpoint the region or genes involved in the regulation of a known phenotype. The data concerning litter size usually comes from a restrict number of individuals due to the laborious and costly nature of the phenotyping by lambing data of several br.. Read More»

Sub-lethal doses of neonicotinoid and carbamate insecticides reduce the lifespan and alter the expression of immune health and detoxification related genes of honey bees (Apis mellifera)
Authors: Hassan Tarek, Mollah Md. Hamiduzzaman, Nuria Morfin and Ernesto Guzman-Novoa
Honey bees (Apis mellifera) are exposed to sublethal doses of insecticides, but little is known about insecticide effects on their survivorship associated to health-related gene expression. To test the effect of sublethal doses of clothianidin, imidacloprid and carbaryl on the lifespan and health of honey bees, workers were or.. Read More»

Resistance to Helicoverpa armigera mediated by zingiberene and glandular trichomes in tomatoes for industrial processing
Authors: J.F. J�ºnior, J.T.V. Resende, A.A. da Silva, A. Gabriel, A.R. Zeist*, R. Favaro, D.A. Nascimento, R.A. Zeist and C.K. Camargo
The Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) is a recent pest in Brazil, causing losses in tomato production in the Espírito Santo and Goiás states, in Brazil. A promising alternative to control this insect pest is the development of resistent tomato varieties. The breeding programs have aimed to introduce alleles of r.. Read More»

The effect of acetate Ringer's solution on inflammatory factors and NF-�ºB signal pathway in the liver of hemorrhagic shock rats
Authors: Z. P. Xu�Q. Song�Z. L. Qiu�L. Li�Z. H. Du and Z. J. Wang
Purpose: To investigate the effect of resuscitation with acetated Ringer's solution during hemorrhagic shock (HS) on inflammatory factors and nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway in liver tissue. Methods: In this study, a rat HS model was established. HS rats received acetated Ringer's solution, lactated Ringer's solution and saline for.. Read More»

Identification of Clematidis radix et Rhizoma and its adulterants by core haplotype based on the ITS sequences
Authors: Yi-Mei Zang, Ya Gao, Ying Liu, Chun-Sheng Liu
To develop a method to identify Clematidis radix et Rhizoma using sequence similarity and sequence-specific genetic polymorphisms based on the ITS sequences. DNA was extracted from leaves of Clematis mandshurica Rupr and C. hexapetala using a DNA extraction kit. ITS sequences were amplified by PCR, and analyzed in Contig Expre.. Read More»

Expression of lipid metabolism and myosin heavy chain genes in pigs is affected by genotype and dietary lysine
Authors: RC Veloso, PS Lopes, MS Duarte, FF Silva, A Saraiva, ML Chizzotti, W Silva and SEF Guimar�£es
Expression of lipid metabolism and myosin heavy chain genes was evaluated in skeletal muscle of pig’s genotypes submitted to different dietary digestible lysine contents. Fifty-two barrows and fifty gilts from three genotypes (G: Piau, Duroc and Pietrain crossbreds) were assigned to three dietary digestible lysine conten.. Read More»

Authors: Asima Gazal, F.A. Nehvi, Ajaz Ahmad Lone, Zahoor Ahmed Dar
A set of hundred maize inbred lines were analyzed for resilience to moisture stress for twenty-four traits related to maturity, morphological, physiological, yield, quality and root traits. Evaluation confirmed a wide range of variability revealing significant response of main effects (lines, irrigations and years and their re.. Read More»

Preliminary analysis on the developmental transcriptomes of swallowtail butterfly Papilio polytes (Lepidoptera: Papilioidae)
Authors: Shun Yao, Yun-liang Wang, Rui-song Tao, Cheng-yong Su, Jia-sheng Hao
The butterflies are one of the insect groups which undergo typical complete metamorphosis in their life history. However, up to now, little is known about the genomic mechanism that regulates the butterfly metamorphosis. In this study, using a swallowtail butterfly P. polytes as a model organism, a high-throughput sequencing p.. Read More»
