Structural and functional characterization of the Colletotrichum lindemuthianum nit1 gene, which encodes a nitrate eductase enzyme
Authors: G.B. Nogueira M.V. Queiroz R.A. Ribeiro E.F. Ara�ºjo
Colletotrichum lindemuthianum is the causal agent of plant bean anthracnose, one of the most important diseases affecting the common bean. We investigated the structure and expression of the nit1 gene (nitrate reductase) of C. lindemuthianum. The nit1 gene open reading frame contains 2787 bp, interrupted by a single 69-bp intron. The predicted protein has 90.. Read More»

Partial diallel crosses for predicting yield of semiexotic maize populations
Authors: C.M. Silva, J.B. Miranda Filho, U.C. Mendes and E.F. Reis
In Brazil, the total production of maize has increased continuously due to the advances in technology but also to the new frontiers for the maize crop, including the expansion of the second crop (safrinha; usually maize after soybean). Therefore, the exploitation of new sources of germplasm seems to be imperative to attend the.. Read More»

Roles of peripheral B1 cells in the individualized treatment of adult idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura
Authors: H.-Q. Luo, Y.-G. Zhong, G.-Z. Zhou, J.-P. Fu and W.-Y. Feng
The aim of this study was to perform an association study between seven Fyn-binding protein gene (FYB)-tag single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and type I diabetes mellitus (T1DM), as well as with disease age of onset. We also assessed the role of FYB SNPs in the insurgence of autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type III (APSIII), characterized by the sim.. Read More»

Meta-analysis demonstrates association of the TGF-�²1 gene -C509T polymorphism with susceptibility to IgA nephropathy in European but not in Asian populations
Authors: H. Wang P. Li Z.-C. Feng
There are conflicting reports associating the TGF-β1 gene -C509T polymorphism with susceptibility to IgA nephropathy. We investigated this association through a meta-analysis. Case-control studies were searched up to January 2012; the genotype frequencies in the control group were found to be consistent with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Publication bi.. Read More»

Multivariate approach in popcorn genotypes using the Ward-MLM strategy: morpho-agronomic analysis and incidence of Fusarium spp
Authors: R.N.F. Kurosawa, A.T. do Amaral Junior, F.H.L. Silva, A. dos Santos,M. Vivas, S.H. Kamphorst and G.F. Pena
The multivariate analyses are useful tools to estimate the genetic variability between accessions. In the breeding programs, the Ward-Modified Location Model (MLM) multivariate method has been a powerful strategy to quantify variability using quantitative and qualitative variables simultaneously. The present study was proposed.. Read More»

The present study investigates the effects of electroacupuncture (EA) on urinary bladder pressure (UBP) in patients with acute gastrointestinal injury (AGI). Twenty patients with AGI admitted to the First Hospital of Jiaxing intensive care unit from December 2011 to June 2013 were evaluated. Conventional group patients (n = 10) were administered moderate .. Read More»

Dihydromyricetin induces cell apoptosis via a p53-related pathway in AGS human gastric cancer cells
Authors: F.J. Ji, X.F. Tian, X.W. Liu, L.B. Fu, Y.Y. Wu, X.D. Fang,H.Y. Jin
The aim of the present study was to determine the antiproliferative and pro-apoptotic effects of dihydromyricetin (DHM) on the AGS human gastric cancer cells and their underlying mechanisms. The effects of DHM on AGS cells were evaluated by using 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT), la.. Read More»

Distribution of mating-type alleles and M13 PCR markers in the black leaf spot fungus Mycosphaerella fijiensis of bananas in Brazil
Authors: C.B. Queiroz E.C. Miranda R.E. Hanada N.R. Sousa L. Gasparotto M.A. Soares G.F. Silva
The fungus Mycosphaerella fijiensis is the causative agent of black sigatoka, which is one of the most destructive diseases of banana plants. Infection with this pathogen results in underdeveloped fruit, with no commercial value. We analyzed the distribution of the M. fijiensis mating-type system and its genetic variability using M13 phage DNA markers. We fo.. Read More»
