Immunohistochemical localization of sex hormone receptors in two Raillietina tapeworms
Authors: L. Chen, Y.M. Sun, L. Mu, Y. Zeng, H.Y. Li and T.H. Yang
Sex hormone receptors play critical roles in development and reproduction. However, it is not known whether they exist in Raillietina tapeworms, and if they do, whether they have a similar function to that in vertebrates. We examined the immunohistochemical distributions of androgen receptors (ARs), estrogen receptors (ERs), a.. Read More»

Effect of increased UV-B radiation on carotenoid accumulation and total antioxidant capacity in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) leaves
Authors: J. Shen, C.Q. Jiang, Y.F. Yan, B.R. Liu and C.L. Zu
Carotenoids are important components of plant antioxidant systems, which protect photosystems from photooxidative destruction during ultraviolet-B (UV-B) exposure. The influence of carotenoids on total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of plants has rarely been studied. In this study, tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L., ‘K326’.. Read More»

GSTM1 polymorphism in patients with clinical manifestations of atherosclerosis
Authors: D.A. Rodrigues, J.V.M. Martins, K.S.F. e Silva, I.R. Costa, M.H. Lagares, F.L. Campedelli, A.M. Barbosa, M.P. de Morais and K.K.V.O. Moura
Atherosclerosis is characterized by lesions, called atheroma or atheromatous plaques, in the inner layer of blood vessels, which block the vascular lumen and weaken the underlying tunica media. Several modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors for the development of atherosclerosis exist. The modifiable risk factors include h.. Read More»

Bioinformatics: an overview and its applications
Authors: W.J.S. Diniz and F. Canduri
Technological advancements in recent years have promoted a marked progress in understanding the genetic basis of phenotypes. In line with these advances, genomics has changed the paradigm of biological questions in full genome-wide scale (genome-wide), revealing an explosion of data and opening up many possibilities. On the ot.. Read More»

Changes in protein profile detected in seedlings of Caesalpinia peltophoroides (Fabaceae) after exposure to high concentration of cadmium
Authors: L.M.C. Gomes A.S. Gesteira A.-A.F. de Almeida A.V. de Castro L.O. Dias C.P. Pirovani F.P. Gomes
Sibipiruna (Caesalpinia peltophoroides Benth) is a tree of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. It is a flowering ornamental tree widely planted throughout Brazil and indicated for restoration of degraded areas. We examined protein profile changes in leaves of seedlings of C. peltophoroides grown in nutrient solution under greenhouse conditions, after exposure .. Read More»

Comparison between different selection indices in energy cane breeding
Authors: A.A.C. de Azeredo, L.L. Bhering, B.P. Brasileiro, C.D. Cruz,L.C.I. Silveira, R.A. Oliveira, J.C. Bespalhok Filho, E. Daros
Sugarcane breeding programs have been adapting to a new market demand: aside from high sucrose yield per hectare, the sector needs new cultivars with higher fiber percentages. The selection of sugarcane clones based on phenotype alone is a complex task. The selected clones should display high performance in a series of yield- .. Read More»

RAPD analysis of genetic diversity and population structure of Elymus sibiricus (Poaceae) native to the southeastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, China
Authors: X. Ma S.-Y. Chen S.-Q. Bai X.-Q. Zhang D.-X. Li C.-B. Zhang J.-J. Yan
Genetic diversity of Elymus sibiricus (Poaceae) was examined in eight populations from the southeast Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. We detected 291 RAPD polymorphic loci in 93 samples. The percentage of polymorphic bands (PPB) was 79%. Genetic diversity (HE) was 0.264, effective number of alleles (NE) was 1.444, Shannon’s information index (HO) was 0.398, a.. Read More»

Antiquity, botany, origin and domestication of Jatropha curcas (Euphorbiaceae), a plant species with potential for biodiesel production
Authors: L.A.S. Dias R.F. Missio D.C.F.S. Dias
Jatropha curcas is a multi-purpose plant species, with many advantages for biodiesel production. Its potential oil productivity is 1.9 t/ha, beginning the fourth year after planting. Nevertheless, limitations such as high harvest cost, lack of scientific konowledge and low profitability have prevented it from being utilized commercially. In order to provide .. Read More»

A rapid method to increase the number of F1 plants in pea (Pisum sativum) breeding programs
Authors: M.A. Esp�³sito P. Almir�³n I. Gatti V.P. Cravero F.S.L. Anido E.L. Cointry
In breeding programs, a large number of F2 individuals are required to perform the selection process properly, but often few such plants are available. In order to obtain more F2 seeds, it is necessary to multiply the F1 plants. We developed a rapid, efficient and reproducible protocol for in vitro shoot regeneration and rooting of seeds using 6-benzylaminop.. Read More»
