Evaluation of the mutagenicity and antimutagenicity of soy phytoestrogens using micronucleus and comet assays of the peripheral blood of mice
Authors: A.M. Niwa R.J. Oliveira M.S. Mantovani
Studies show that soy imparts many favorable properties in the human body, including the prevention of chronic diseases such as osteoporosis, heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. Soy is rich in isoflavones, and it is a candidate for the chemoprevention of diseases owing to its low toxicity. In this study, a soy phytoestrogen (with high levels of the isoflavo.. Read More»

Mitochondrial DNA insertions in the nuclear Capra hircus genome
Authors: F.Y. Ning, J. Fu and Z.H. Du
Nuclear mitochondrial pseudogenes (numts), originating from mtDNA insertions into the nuclear genome, have been detected in many species. However, the distribution of numts in the newly published nuclear genome of domestic goat (Capra hircus) has not yet been explored. We used the entire goat mtDNA sequence and nuclear genome,..

Antisense expression of Gossypium hirsutum UDP-glucuronate decarboxylase in Arabidopsis leads to changes in cell wall components
Authors: D.M. Zhang1*, Y.X. Pan2*, Y. Zhang1, Z.K. Li1, L.Q. Wu1, H.W. Liu1, G.Y. Zhang1, X.F. Wang1 and Z.Y. Ma1
UDP-glucuronate decarboxylase (UDP-xylose synthase; UXS, EC 4.1.1.35) is an essential enzyme of the non-cellulosic polysaccharide biosynthetic pathway. In the present study, using transient expression of fluorescently labeled Gossypium hirsutum UXS (GhUXS3) protein in onion epidermal cells, we observed that this protein was distributed in the cytoplasm. T.. Read More»

Association of the GSTT1 polymorphism in upper aerodigestive tract cancer with tobacco smoking
Authors: T.M. Silva, C.R. Marques, M.F. Marques Filho, A.B. Marques, G. Di Pietro and F. Rios-Santos
Polymorphisms in genes encoding xenobiotic-metaboli- zing enzymes might explain differences in the susceptibility to upper aerodigestive tract (UADT) cancers in individuals exposed to tobacco or other carcinogens. The present study aimed to evaluate the association of polymorphisms in the glutathione S-transferase (GST) candid.. Read More»

Genotypic stability and adaptability in tropical maize based on AMMI and GGE biplot analysis
Authors: M. Balestre, R.G. Von Pinho, J.C. Souza and R.L. Oliveira
We evaluated the phenotypic and genotypic stability and adaptability of hybrids using the additive main effect and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) and genotype x genotype-environment interaction (GGE) biplot models. Starting with 10 single-cross hybrids, a complete diallel was done, resulting in 45 double-cross hybrids that .. Read More»

Effects and mechanism of Tripterygium wilfordii on chronic glomerulo nephritis
Authors: W.Y. Pei1, C.H. Yang2 and X.L. Zhang3
The objective of this study was to investigate the clinical effects of Tripterygium wilfordii on chronic glomerulo nephritis (CGN) and its mechanisms. Eighty-two cases of CGN treated in our hospital were randomly divided into observation and control groups. The control group was treated with conventional western medicine, and the observation group was tre.. Read More»

In silico comparative analysis and expression profile of antioxidant proteins in plants
Authors: S. Sheoran B. Pandey P. Sharma S. Narwal R. Singh I. Sharma R. Chatrath
The antioxidant system in plants is a very important defensive mechanism to overcome stress conditions. We examined the expression profile of antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) using a bioinformatics approach. We explored secondary structure prediction and made detailed studies of signature pattern o.. Read More»

Cytogenetic and molecular analysis of an apomictic cassava hybrid and its progeny
Authors: N.M.A. Nassar, P.T.C. Gomes, A.M. Chaib1, N.N. Bomfim,R.C.D. Batista and R.G. Collevatti
An interspecific hybrid between cassava and Manihot glaziovii acquired an apomixis gene from the parent M. glaziovii. This hybrid was exposed to open pollination during three subsequent generations. Seven sibs and the maternal progenitor of the fourth generation were genotyped using six microsatellite loci previously developed.. Read More»
