Expression and localization of Luman/CREB3 in mouse embryos during the pre-implantation period
Authors: T.N. Mahmoud, P.F. Lin, F.L. Chen, J.H. Zhou, X.G. Wang, N. Wang, X. Li and Y.P. Jin
Luman/CREB3 is a transcription factor that is a member of the cAMP-response-element-binding protein family of basic region-leucine zipper transcription factors. This protein interacts with host cell factor 1, which also associates with the herpes simplex virus protein VP16 to induce the transcription of herpes simplex virus. Currently, the physiological f..

Lack of an association between TSC gene Arg904Gln polymorphisms and essential hypertension risk based on a meta-analysis
Authors: F. Zhang Y. Yang D. Hu H. Lei Y. Wang
Although there have been several studies investigating a possible association between essential hypertension and TSC gene Arg904Gln polymorphisms, the results have been inconsistent. We conducted a meta-analysis of four case-control studies (one study in Europe and three studies in Asia), including 1811 essential hypertension cases and 1381 controls. The .. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of 10 microsatellite loci for Pallas� long-tongued bat Glossophaga soricina (Phyllostomidae)
Authors: 3521
Glossophaga soricina is a widespread Neotropical nectarivorous bat. We characterized 10 microsatellite loci isolated from a shotgun genomic library. We analyzed tissues from wing membrane of 67 individuals collected from two populations of Central Brazil (Brasília and Alto Paraíso). The number of alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 20, and th..

Modification research on in wall of capillary copper tube with Norland optical adhesive 68 in a double stereo PCR microfluidic chip
Authors: J. Wu, F.J. Wang, C.Y. Wang, K.X. Yu, Y. Ma, T. Chen, Y.H. Li and Y. Zheng
In this study, a Norland optical adhesive 68 (NOA68) film, approximately 2.2 μm thick, was manufactured using ultraviolet solidified NOA68 in apparatus manufacturing film on the inwall of a capillary copper pipe, developed in our laboratory. The roughness of the inwall of capillary copper pipe was improved from Ra = 0.766 to 0.204 μm and the contact.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of Lagerstroemia (Lythraceae) species assessed by simple sequence repeat markers
Authors: D. He Y. Liu M. Cai H.T. Pan Q.X. Zhang X.Y. Wang X.J. Wang
Lagerstroemia (crape myrtle) are famous ornamental plants with large pyramidal racemes, long flower duration, and diverse colors. However, little is known about the genetic structure and diversity of germplasm in Lagerstroemia. We genotyped 81 L. indica cultivars, five other species of Lagerstroemia, and 10 interspecific hybrids using 30 simple sequence repe.. Read More»

Glutathione S-transferase M1 and T1 polymorphism in men with idiopathic infertility
Authors: A.C.F. Finotti1,2, R.C.P. Costa e Silva1,2, B.M. Bordin1,2, C.T.X. Silva2 and K.K.V.O. Moura1,2
Male infertility is a heterogeneous disorder, with various genetic and environmental factors that contribute to the impairment of spermatogenesis. Genetic causes are responsible for 60% of cases of idiopathic infertility. Polymorphisms of genes that encode detoxifying enzymes of phase II drug metabolism can modify their expression or functi..

Identification of introgressed alien chromosome segments associated with grain quality in Oryza rufipogon x MR219 advanced breeding lines using SSR markers
Authors: P. Fasahat K. Muhammad A. Abdullah R. Wickneswari
A limited backcross procedure was utilized to introgress genes associated with grain quality traits from Oryza rufipogon (Accession No. IRGC 105491), a wild rice from Malaysia, to the cultivated rice O. sativa cv. MR219, a popular high yielding Malaysian rice cultivar. A set of 10 BC2F7 progenies were selected based on the field performance and phenotypic.. Read More»

Assessment of the potential genotoxic risk of medicinal Tamarindus indica fruit pulp extract using in vivo assays
Authors: F.M.V. Silva1, M.F. Leite2, A.C.C. Spadaro2, S.A. Uyemura3 andE.L. Maistro4
Tamarindus indica has been used in folk medicine as an antidiabetic, a digestive aid, and a carminative, among other uses. Currently, there is no information in the toxicology literature concerning the safety of T. indica extract. We evaluated the clastogenic and/or genotoxic potential of fruit pulp extract of this plant in vivo in peripheral blood and li.. Read More»
