Phylogenetic analysis and assessment ability of Fusarium isolates for the biodegradation of the pesticide carbofuran

Authors: Abd El-Latif Hesham, Faizah Amer Al-Tihani, Sulaiman A. Alrumman and Ahmed F. El-Bebany

Carbofuran is a pesticide used against insects and nematodes. It is a common environmental pollutant associated with agricultural activities. Carbofuran has harmful effects on target and non-target organisms through the accumulation of acetylcholine at the junction of the nerve cell and the receptor sites system by inhibiting ..

Identification, Characterization, and Phylogenetic analysis of Pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan L. Mill sp.) Resistance Gene Analogs using PCR cloning and in silico methods

Authors: Ikechukwu O. Agbagwa, Prakash G. Patil, Alok Das, Khela R. Soren, Indra P. Singh, Sushil K. Chaturvedi, Nagaswamy Nadarajan

Pigeon Pea (Cajanus cajan), an important grain legume, is susceptible to Fusarium wilt (FW), sterility mosaic disease (SMD), and Phytophthora blight. Identification of resistance gene analogs (RGAs) is important for development of resistant varieties. In this study, degenerate primers targeting nucleotide binding sites (NBS) o.. Read More»

Adaptability and Stability of Soybean Genotypes in the States of Maranh�£o, Piau�­, Tocantins and Bahia

Authors: O.T. Hamawaki, A.P.O. Nogueira, F.G. Teixeira, T.F. Bicalho, G.L. Jorge, R.L. Hamawaki, C.S. Machado J�ºnior, G.F. Gomes, C.L. Hamawaki

The soybean crop has a substantial importance for Brazil’s agribusiness and economy. Besides, breeding programs have contributed to the development of the crop in the country allowing grain yield increase and, at the same time, intensifying the production of new cultivars that show both yield predictability and wide adap..

Heterosis and genetics parameters for yield and nutritional components in half-sibling maize progenies

Authors: Ivan Ricardo Carvalho, Alan Junior de Pelegrin, Maur�­cio Ferrari, Vin�­cius Jardel Szareski, , Antonio Costa de Oliveira, Luciano Carlos da Maia, Tiago Corazza da Rosa, Victoria Freitas de Oliveira, Jessica Fernanda Hoffmann, Maicon Nardino, F�¡bio Clasen Chaves, Velci Queir�³z de Souza

The growing demand for maize creates a challenge to breeders, requiring the development of higher yielding and higher quality genotypes. The objective of this work was to estimate the most relevant heterosis, variance components and genetic parameters, and to use a multivariate approach to define narrow sense heritability prof..

New tool application in veterinary forensic science to analyze genetic fingerprinting data

Authors: Reale S, Mascali LG, Bonanno , Lupo, Ferina , Vitale

In the last decades legal and other cases in which forensic veterinary science is required are increasing. The principles of investigation follow those used in human beings, although in animal species familial relationship identification is a hard task, due to high level of inbreeding. Familias 3 software is commonly used in h.. Read More»

Screening and identification of candidate genes essential for cervical lymph node metastasis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma with microarrays

Authors: Ming Fu, Yudong Ye, Chi Zhang, Zhuo Chen, Zhenchao Zhu, Yang Peng, Xiangning Zhang, Qianhui Qiu

The aim of the present study is to identify genes that are crucial for the cervical lymph node metastasis, which predicts poor prognosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), endemic in southern China. Microarrays with probes to determine genomic expression profile and promoter methylation status in tumor specimens were used, to .. Read More»

Genetic Polymorphism in Endometriosis: Trends in Scientific Production

Authors: Maria Gabriela Machado Junqueira, Amanda Fernandes Costa, Felipe de Ara�ºjo Nascimento, K�¡tia Karina Verolli de Oliveira Moura, Fl�¡via Melo Rodrigues

Endometriosis is characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue located outside the uterine cavity. The prevalence is around 6 to 10%. Regarding etiopathogenesis, several theories are accepted, but alterations in the molecular biology of the endometrium seem to be fundamental for the development of endometriosis. Women wi..

Adaptability and stability of cotton cultivars (Gossypium hirsutum L. race latifolium H.) using factor analytic model

Authors: J. J. Nuvunga, L. A. Oliveira, C. P. Silva, A. K. A. Pamplona, A. Q. Silva, E. G. Moura, M. P. Maleia, M. Balestre

To build up efficient strategies in plant breeding programs, it is requested a certain level of knowledge about the genotype–by-environments interaction (GEI) effects over the crop to be improved. One efficient way to gather this information is using linear mixed models using a parsimonious structure of GEI pattern such .. Read More»
