Authors: Pimwipa Teerawarunyoo, Chatmongkon Suwannapoom, Phuping Sucharitakul, Kittisak Buddhachat, Waranee Pradit, Korakot Nganvongpanit and Siriwadee Chomdej
Biodiversity stems from speciation, and species identification allows scientists to measure species biodiversity. However, some closely related species, particularly amphibians that choose to inhabit the same environment, are difficult to identify. Juvenile specimens of Limnonectes gyldenstolpei (Lg) and L. taylori (Lt) were u.. Read More»

Cloning and expression analysis of pistillata-like gene in Sedirea japonica
Authors: Suhua Jiang, Suyan Niu, Xiuyun Yuan, Fang Liang, Shenping Xu, Mofei Wang, Bo Cui
Members of the pistillata-like (PI-like) subfamily of plant MADS-box genes play multiple roles in regulation of reproductive meristems and the specification of sepal and petal identities. However, the function of PI-like genes in the Sedirea japonica is largely unknown. In this study, a full-length of PI-like gene in Sedirea j.. Read More»

Morphological Variation of Perilla Crop and Their Weedy Types from Northern and Southern Areas of China
Authors: S.J. Ma and J.K. Lee
In this study, we detected the morphological variation of 91 Perilla accessions from Northern and Southern China by the measurement of 7 quantitative and 10 qualitative characters. The accessions of cultivated var. frutescens were significantly different from accessions of weedy var. frutescens and cultivated and weedy types o.. Read More»

Differential expression of trypsin-3 and phosrestin II genes in the main malaria vector, Anopheles darlingi, from the Brazilian Amazon region
Authors: Ohse, K.C, Matiolli, C.C, Scarpassa, V.M, Santos, V. S, Tadei, W. P, Rafael, M. S
Anopheles darlingi is the most anthropophilic mosquito related to Plasmodium infection of malaria, causing significant morbidity and mortality in South America. Pyrethroid chemical has been used to control mosquitos. We analyzed the expression of trypsin-3 and phosrestin II genes implicated to feeding and resistance to insecti.. Read More»

Characterization of molecular hemoglobin c and beta thalassemia
Authors: M.H. Lagares, M.S. Rabelo, C.G.B. Dias-penna, R.S. Mascarenhas, K.S.F. Silva and K.K.V.O. Moura
The hemoglobinopathies are a group of hereditary alterations prevalent in many parts of the world, but significantly affect the Brazilian population for its abundant miscegenation. These alterations in structural genes that cause the formation of hemoglobin variants, and/or regulatory genes, causing thalassemias. Currently, th.. Read More»

Relevance of Additive and Nonadditive Genetic Relatedness for Genomic Prediction in Rice Population under Recurrent Selection Breeding
Authors: Odilon P. Morais J�ºnior, Jo�£o Batista Duarte, Fl�¡vio Breseghello, Alexandre S. G. Coelho, Tereza C. O. Borba, Jordene T. Aguiar, P�©ricles C. F. Neves, and Orlando P. Morais
In genomic recurrent selection programs of self-pollinated crops, additive genetic effects (breeding values) are effectively relevant for selection of superior progenies as new parents. However, considering additive and nonadditive genetic effects can improve the prediction of genome-enhanced breeding values (GEBV) of progenie.. Read More»

Authors: K.B. Penteado, C.I.S. Gressler, A.D. Da Cruz, T.C. Vieira, & M.A. D. Gigonzac
X-Fragile Syndrome (FXS) is the most common cause of inherited intellectual disability and the second of genetic origin, with an estimated prevalence of 1/4000 men and 1/6000 women. The etiology is associated with a trinucleotide expansion of CGG sequences and hypermethylation of the promoter region of the FMR1 (Fragile-X Ment.. Read More»
