Genome-wide identification, classification, and expression analysis of sHSP genes in Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa ssp pekinensis)
Authors: P. Tao, W.L. Guo, B.Y. Li, W.H. Wang, Z.C. Yue, J.L. Lei and X.M. Zhong
Small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) are essential for the plant’s normal development and stress responses, especially the heat stress response. The information regarding sHSP genes in Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa ssp pekinensis) is sparse, hence we performed a genome-wide analysis to identify sHSP genes in this species. .. Read More»

Matrilineage differentiation of the genus Tetragonisca using mitochondrial DNA markers and the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism technique
Authors: S.A. Santos, A.R. Bronzato, B.M.T. Moreira, K.F. Araujo, L. Ronqui, C.A. Mangolin, V.A.A. Toledo and M.C.C. Ruvolo-Takasusuki
The Meliponinae are important pollinators of plant species, and one of the most managed species is Tetragonisca angustula. Initially, two subspecies were identified in T. angustula: T. angustula angustula and T. angustula fiebrigi. Subsequently, T. a. fiebrigi was considered a species, based on the coloration of its mesepisternum. The objective of the pre.. Read More»

Meiotic behavior of Brachiaria decumbens hybrids
Authors: V.F. Souza, M.S. Pagliarini, C.B. Valle, N.C.P. Bione, M.U. Menon and A.B. Mendes-Bonato
Brachiaria decumbens is a forage grass of inestimable value for livestock in Brazil due to its production of good quality forage even when planted on acid and poor soils, although it is susceptible to pasture spittlebugs. Only one cultivar, cv. Basilisk, has been used as the pollen donor in crosses with Brachiaria ruziziensis since 1988 at Embrapa Gado de.. Read More»

Characterization of OsPM19L1 encoding an AWPM-19-like family protein that is dramatically induced by osmotic stress in rice
Authors: H. Chen, H. Lan, P. Huang, Y. Zhang, X. Yuan, X. Huang, J. Huang and H. Zhang
The plant-specific AWPM-19-domain proteins play important roles in plant development and stress responses. In the current study, OsPM19L1 encoding Oryza sativa AWPM-19-like protein 1 was isolated from rice. Tissue-specific gene expression analysis revealed that OsPM19L1 was highly expressed in the leaf sheath of rice. Interest.. Read More»

Isolation of Pantoea ananatis from sugarcane and characterization of its potential for plant growth promotion
Authors: J.F. da Silva, R.R. Barbosa, A.N. de Souza, O.V. da Motta, G.N. Teixeira, V.S. Carvalho, A.L.S.R de Souza and G.A. de Souza Filho
Each year, approximately 170 million metric tons of chemical fertilizer are consumed by global agriculture. Furthermore, some chemical fertilizers contain toxic by-products and their long-term use may contaminate groundwater, lakes, and rivers. The use of plant growth-promoting bacteria may be a cost-effective strategy for par.. Read More»

Effect of IL-1�², IL-8, and IL-10 polymorphisms on the development of myocardial infarction
Authors: S. Wang, Y.X. Dai, L.L. Chen, T. Jiang, M.Q. Zheng, C.G. Li, Y.P. Chen, W.H. Lin, J.F. Zhang and J. Jiang
Myocardial infarction (MI) is currently a leading cause of death worldwide, and is caused by various environmental and genetic factors. We therefore conducted a case-control study to investigate the association between polymorphisms in interleukins IL-1β, IL-8, and IL-10 and MI risk. This study recruited 260 MI patients a..

Even though several in vitro studies have focused on bacterial biology, the extent of such knowledge is not complete when considering an actual infection. As culture-independent microbiology methods such as high-throughput sequencing became available, important aspects of host-bacterium interactions will be elucidated. Based on microbiological relevance, .. Read More»

Serial analysis of gene expression in adenocarcinoma samples and normal colonic mucosa in a Chinese population
Authors: X.L. Zhang, F. Gao, W. Li, W.Z. Tang and S. Zhang
The goal of this study was to identify the differences in gene expression between adenocarcinoma samples and colonic normal mucosa of a Chinese population. Gene expression libraries of adenocarcinoma and normal colonic mucosa were generated by serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE). Expression tags were obtained from sequencing results using the SAGE20.. Read More»

Authors: H.W. Lu, M. Huang, J.H. Wang, X.L. Sun and Y.Q. Ke
The association between the CCDC26 rs4295627 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and the glioma risk has been studied previously, but these studies have yielded conflicting results. The aim of the present study is to analyze this association more vigorously, by means of a meta-analysis. A comprehensive literature search was p.. Read More»
