Investigation of mycoviruses in endophytic and phytopathogenic strains of Colletotrichum from different hosts
Authors: P. Rosseto1, A.T. Costa1, J.C. Polonio1, A.A. da Silva1, J.A. Pamphile1and J.L. Azevedo2
Fungi belonging to the Colletotrichum genus can be categorized as endophytic or phytopathogenic. These fungi can be infected by viruses, termed mycoviruses, which are know to promote hypovirulence in infected fungi. However, there are few studies that have described mycoviral infections of endophytes. The production of secondary metabolites by endophytes .. Read More»

Association of T1740C polymorphism of L-FABP with meat quality traits in Junmu No. 1 white swine
Authors: Y.H. Zhang L.S. Dai T.H. Ma S.Z. Wang J. Guo F.J. Li S.M. Zhang B.X. Sun D.F. Liu Y. Gao J.B. Zhang
This study was designed to investigate a single nucleotide polymorphism in intron 1 of the liver fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP) gene in 156 Junmu No. 1 white swine using PCR-single-strand conformational polymorphism. The association between the polymorphism and meat quality traits was also studied. The cloning and sequencing results indicated that th.. Read More»

Therapeutic effect of Pleurotus eryngii cellulose on experimental fatty liver in rats
Authors: J.F. Huang, T. Zhan, X.L. Yu, Q.A. He, W.J. Huang, L.Z. Lin,Y.T. Du and Y.T. Pan
The aim of this study was to explore the therapeutic effect of Pleurotus eryngii cellulose on experimental fatty liver in rats. Rats were fed high-fat fodder to establish a rat fatty liver model, and were then fed different concentrations of Pleurotus eryngii cellulose for six weeks. Lipitor was used as a positive control. Measured levels of alanine amino.. Read More»

Relationship between CYP17 gene polymorphisms and risk of prostate cancer
Authors: J. Song, Z.-H. Tao, X.-Y. Liu, S. Gong and L. Gan
Cytochrome P450 17a-hydroxylase (CYP17) plays a critical role in androgen biosynthesis. Polymorphisms of the CYP17 promoter have been proposed as risk factors for prostate cancer; however, some studies have produced inconclusive or controversial results. We investigated the relationship between polymorphisms of the CYP17 gene and the risk of prostate canc.. Read More»

Characterization of polymorphic microsatellite markers for the Neotropical leaf-frog Phyllomedusa burmeisteri and cross-species amplification
Authors: T.O. Brunes M.S. van de Vliet S. Lopes J. Alexandrino C.F.B. Haddad F. Sequeira
Twelve polymorphic tetranucleotide microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized for the leaf-frog Phyllomedusa burmeisteri, an endemic species of the Brazilian Atlantic forest. These loci were screened in 25 individuals from two populations of the Minas Gerais State (Carangola and Juiz de Fora). The number of alleles per locus ranged from 3 to 16 (.. Read More»

POPREP: a generic report for population management
Authors: E. Groeneveld, B.v.d. Westhuizen, A. Maiwashe, F. Voordewind and J.B.S. Ferraz
Genetic variation provides a basis upon which populations can be genetically improved. Management of animal genetic resources in order to minimize loss of genetic diversity both within and across breeds has recently received attention at different levels, e.g., breed, national and international levels. A major need for sustain.. Read More»

Salt stress alters DNA methylation levels in alfalfa (Medicago spp)
Authors: A. Al-Lawati1, S. Al-Bahry1, R. Victor1, A.H. Al-Lawati2 and M.W. Yaish1
Modification of DNA methylation status is one of the mechanisms used by plants to adjust gene expression at both the transcriptional and posttranscriptional levels when plants are exposed to suboptimal conditions. Under abiotic stress, different cultivars often show heritable phenotypic variation accompanied by epigenetic polymorphisms at the DNA methylat.. Read More»

Snap bean recommendation based on different methods of phenotypic stability
Authors: C.D. Marinho G.A. Gravina L.C. Ara�ºjo S.N.C. Almeida A.T. Amaral J�ºnior R.F. Daher L.S.A. Gon�§alves
In order to recommend the best strains of snap beans from the Universidade Estadual do Norte Fluminense (UENF) breeding program, different methods of analysis of phenotypic stability were adopted to evaluate the performance of 14 lines (F9 and F10) of indeterminate growth habit, which were compared with 3 controls, namely, 2 commercial varieties (Feltrin ..

Analysis of protein expression and a new prokaryotic expression system for goat (Capra hircus) spermadhesin Bdh-2 cDNA
Authors: J.B. Cajazeiras, L.M. Melo, E.S. Albuquerque, G. R�¡dis-Baptista, B.S. Cavada and V.J.F. Freitas
Low purification efficiency and incomplete characterization of male goat (buck) spermadhesins (Bdhs) prompted us to develop an effective system to produce recombinant Bdhs (rBdhs). Bdh-2 cDNA was inserted into a prokaryotic expression plasmid, pTrcHis TOPO. The pTrcHis-Bdh-2 system was constructed to produce a His6 fusion.. Read More»
