Estimate of natural cross-pollination rate of Capsicum annuum using a codominant molecular marker associated with fruit pungency
Authors: EV Justino, MEN Fonseca, ME Ferreira, LS Boiteux, PP Silva, WM Nascimento
The production of seeds with high genetic quality requires accurate estimates of the natural cross-pollination rate in cultivated Capsicum species. This is important in order to establish the most suitable isolation distance among fields of distinct genotypes, to minimize the risk of genetic contamination and to ensure that th.. Read More»

Marker-Assisted elimination of drought-susceptible accessions in upland rice breeding
Authors: Ariadna Faria Vieira, Gabriel Feresin Pantali�£o, Fernanda Martins Abreu, Ricardo Dias Silveira, Ana Letycia Basso Garcia, Leandro Gomide Neves, Rosana Pereira Vianello, Adriano Pereira Castro, Claudio Brondani
Breeding for water-deficit tolerance is fundamental to guarantee the sustainability of upland rice production, mainly due to the possibility of an increased frequency of drought episodes due to climate change. This work aimed to identify single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers, derived from RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq), genom.. Read More»

Lentinus crinitus strains respond differently to cultivation pH and temperature
Authors: R.A. Marim, K.V. Avelino, G.A. Linde, N.B. Colauto and J.S. Valle
Fungus ability to respond to environmental changes allows their adaptation to a wide variety of conditions such as pH, temperature, light, nutrient availability, chemicals, and competition among species. Temperature and pH can affect fungal growth as well as their metabolism. Knowing these factors on fungus species is relevant.. Read More»

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..
