Characterization of aapP and nopP genes related to the biological nitrogen fixation efficiency with soybean in contrasting strains of Bradyrhizobium japonicum
Authors: J.G. Perin, M.B.D. Bert�©li, J.S. do Valle, G.A. Linde, L.D. Paccola-Meirelles, N.B. Colauto and F.G. Barcellos
Soybean (Glycine max) is considered one of the most economically important agricultural crops in Brazil. Due to the high protein content of its grains, this crop demands a greater amount of nitrogen (N) for production. In general, for soybean, nitrogen fertilization costs through chemical fertilizers are considered high. Howev.. Read More»

Genetic diversity in natural populations of Stylosanthes scabra using ISSR markers
Authors: J.C. Costa, G.G.M. Fracetto, F.J.C. Fracetto, T.C. Souza, M.V.F, Santos and M.A. Lira JĂ?Âșnior
Genetic diversity is the basis for genetic improvement, providing genes for new cultivars. Stylosanthes scabra is a legume used in pastures, presenting economic importance in tropical and subtropical regions. Molecular markers are targeted in population studies, thus we evaluated the genetic diversity distribution of S. scabra.. Read More»

Ectopic Expression of AtCIPK23 Enhances Drought Tolerance via Accumulating Less H2O2 in Transgenic Tobacco Plants
Authors: Liming Lu, Linglong Yang, Ke Li, Yifei Lu, Liqin Li
Drought is a major threat to agricultural crop growth and productivity. However, the molecular mechanism behind such effects remains largely unknown. Plant CBL (Calcineurin B-Like)-interacting protein kinases (CIPKs) are believed to play an important role in plant drought tolerance and signalling transduction. Here, we report .. Read More»

Isolation and cross-amplification of fifteen microsatellites for oil-rewarding Calceolaria species (Calceolariaceae)
Authors: M. MurĂ?Âșa, G. Peralta, L. Carrasco, and F. PĂ?©rez
Calceolaria is a diversified American genus whose species are mainly visited by oil-collecting bees, representing a highly specialized plant-pollinator system. However, although this is a unique plant system, different aspects of its ecology and evolution remain unexplored. In this study we characterized fifteen polymorphic mi.. Read More»

Genetic diversity as tool to identify standard leaf nutrients in cassava genotypes
Authors: JAD Giles, WP Rodrigues, G Oliosi, FL Partelli, HD Vieira and Vanderlei da Silva Santos
Among the factors affecting cassava yield, the leaf nutrients content has received little attention since cassava genotypes may grow well under inappropriate nutrient supply, however showing inadequate nutritional quality of tuberous roots. Considering this aspect, the genetic diversity should be explored in order to determine.. Read More»

Large-scale development, characterization, and cross-amplification of ESTù��SSR markers in Chinese chive
Authors: Qingming Tang, Langbo Yi, Xianglin Yuan, Fu Li
Chinese chive (Allium tuberosum Rottler ex Spr.) is an important vegetable crop. However, genetic and breeding studies of the species have been restricted by the lack of simple sequence repeat markers (SSRs). In the present study, a total of 2553 Chinese chive SSRs were developed from the species’ transcriptome, with 626.. Read More»

Novel polymorphisms in bovine CD4 and LAG-3 genes associated with somatic cell counts of clinical mastitis cows
Authors: Tahir Usman, Yachun Wang, Minyan Song1, Xiao Wang, Yichun Dong, Chao Liu, Shuxiang Wang, Yi Zhang, Wei Xiao, Ying Yu
Clinical mastitis cows normally produce clotted milk, thus the much higher somatic cells in milk are unable to be counted by routine FOSS machine. The proteins coded by CD4 and LAG-3 genes can bind to MHC class II molecules and play important roles in in-flammatory diseases. The present study was designed to investigate the ef.. Read More»
