Authors: A.V. Nascimento1, M.C. Matos2, L.O. Seno3, A.R.S. Romero1, J.F. Garcia4 andA.B. Grisolia1
The aim of this study was to evaluate a genome wide association study (GWAS) approach to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with fertility traits (early puberty) in Nellore cattle (Bos indicus). Fifty-five Nellore cows were selected from a herd monitored for early puberty onset (positive pregnancy at 18 months of age). Extremes of .. Read More»

Molecular taxonomy and evolutionary hypothesis concerning Astyanax fasciatus (Characiformes, Characidae) from Vila Velha State Park and Tibagi and Igua�§u Rivers
Authors: D.A. Matoso M. da Silva R.F. Artoni R.A. Torres
A species complex hypothesis involving Astyanax fasciatus from southern Brazil was tested using 12S mtDNA sequences. Phylogenetic inferences were performed with maximum likelihood, maximum parsimony and Bayesian as phylogenetic methods and Hemigrammus bleheri as the outgroup. Besides 11 sequences from A. fasciatus, the data set was comprised of other part.. Read More»

Transfer and expression of the rabbit defensin NP-1 gene in lettuce (Lactuca sativa)
Authors: D. Song, X. Xiong, W.F. Tu, W. Yao, H.W. Liang, F.J. Chen and Z.Q. He
Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) is an annual plant of the daisy family, Asteraceae, with high food and medicinal value. However, the crop is susceptible to several viruses that are transmitted by aphids and is highly vulnerable to post-harvest diseases, as well as insect and mammal pests and fungal and bacterial diseases. Here, th.. Read More»

Key KdSOC1 gene expression profiles during plantlet morphogenesis under hormone, photoperiod, and drought treatments
Authors: C. Liu1*, C. Zhu2* and H.M. Zeng1
Kalanchoe daigremontiana utilizes plantlet formation between its zigzag leaf margins as its method of asexual reproduction. In this study, K. daigremontiana SUPPRESSOR OF OVEREXPRESSION OF CONSTANS 1 (KdSOC1), a key intermediate in the transition from vegetative to asexual growth, was cloned. Furthermore, its expression profiles during plantlet formation .. Read More»

Cytotoxicity evaluation of the whole protein extract from Bar-transgenic rice on Mus musculus lymphocytes
Authors: X.B. Lu
With the expanding demand for genetically modified (GM) rice, its safety evaluation is of great significance. Therefore, this study was carried out to assess the acute cytotoxicity of the whole protein extract from GM rice Bar68-1 in Mus musculus lymphocytes in vitro. Cell viability was determined by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8.. Read More»

Identification of molecular markers in patients with hypertensive heart disease accompanied with coronary artery disease
Authors: H. Pang, B. Han, Z.Y. Li and Q. Fu
We investigated the plasma hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL), and apelin levels in patients with hypertensive heart disease (HHD) plus coronary artery disease (CAD). Patients with hypertension hospitalized in Xuzhou Central Hospital were categorized into the HHD group and the HHD plus CAD group; 40 healt.. Read More»

Protective role of +294 T/C (rs2016520) polymorphism of PPARD in Mexican patients with colorectal cancer
Authors: M.A. Rosales-Reynoso, L.I. Wence-Chavez, A.R. Arredondo-Valdez,S. Dumois-Petersen, P. Barros-NÃ?ºÃ?±ez, M.P. Gallegos-Arreola, S.E. Flores-MartÃ?Ânez and J. SÃ?¡nchez-Corona
PPARD encodes for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta, which plays a significant role in controlling lipid metabolism, atherosclerosis, inflammation, cancer growth, progression, and apoptosis. Accumulated evidence suggests that the polymorphism rs2016520 in PPARD is associated with lipid metabolism, obesity, metab.. Read More»

Diversity, population structure, and evolution of local peach cultivars in China identified by simple sequence repeats
Authors: Z.J. Shen, R.J. Ma, Z.X. Cai, M.L. Yu and Z. Zhang
The fruit peach originated in China and has a history of domestication of more than 4000 years. Numerous local cultivars were selected during the long course of cultivation, and a great morphological diversity exists. To study the diversity and genetic background of local peach cultivars in China, a set of 158 accessions from different ecological regions,.. Read More»

Association among agro-industrial traits and simultaneous selection in sweet sorghum
Authors: P.S.S. Leite, T.G. Fagundes, J.A.R. Nunes, R.A.C. Parrella,N.N.L. Dur�£es and A.T. Bruzi
Sweet sorghum has emerged as an alternative crop for ethanol yield. The breeding of this crop is performed to obtain cultivars with high ethanol yield, which necessarily requires associating favorable phenotypes for multiple traits. Therefore, the aims of this study were to investigate the association between agro-industrial t.. Read More»

Association of liver X receptor �± (LXR�±) gene polymorphism and ischemic stroke
Authors: H.X. Wang, K. Zhang, L. Zhao, J.W. Tang, L.Y. Gao and Z.P. Wei
We examined the relationship between the liver X receptor a gene (LXRα) rsl2221497 polymorphism and the susceptibility to ischemic stroke in a Chinese population. The polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism technique was used to detect the genotype of rsl2221497 in the LXRαgene of 300 stroke patients and 300 healthy .. Read More»
