Interactome analysis and design of inhibitors against selected protein targets of Ser/Thr protein kinase (STPK) signaling pathways in Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv
Authors: A.B. Gurung, B.J. Mylliemngap, A. Bhattacharjee1, M.A. Ali and F.M.A. Al-Hemaid
Tuberculosis continues to be a major cause of mortality worldwide despite significant advances in chemotherapy and development of the BCG vaccine. Although curable, the tuberculosis treatment period (6-9 months) presents many concerns, including patient noncompliance and the development of drug toxicity and drug resistance. This study aimed to understand .. Read More»

Population genetic characterization of the Japanese oak silkmoth, Antheraea yamamai (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae), using novel microsatellite markers and mitochondrial DNA gene sequences
Authors: S.R. Kim, K.Y. Kim, J.S. Jeong, M.J. Kim, K.-H. Kim, K.H. Choi and I. Kim
The Japanese oak silkmoth, Antheraea yamamai Guérin-Méneville, 1861 (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae), is an important natural resource of industrial value for silk fiber production. Owing to a lack of geographic and population genetic information, systematic domestication of An. yamamai has not been possible yet. In th.. Read More»

Effects of silicon on seed setting rate of rice intersubspecific hybrids
Authors: W.-C. Li, L. Zhang, J. Wang, D. Wang, T.-X. Wang and C.-X. Duan
The present study found semi-sterility in rice intersubspecific hybrids of ‘Taichung 65’ x ‘Guangluai 4’ and ‘Ludao’ x ‘Qiuguang’. Embryo sac fertility was evaluated using the overall staining transparent method. The results showed that the embryo sac contained a normal egg cell, normal synergid cells, polar.. Read More»

Role of Nrf2 signal pathway in rats with deep hypothermia ischemia/reperfusion injury undergoing remote postconditioning
Authors: Z.Y. Wu, Z.W. Wang, R. Hu, Z. Zhou, L.C. Li and Z.F. Mao
We investigated the protective effects of remote postconditioning (RPC) in the lungs of rats with deep hypothermia ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury and the role of nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) signaling in this process. Forty-nine rats were randomly divided into a sham control group, deep hypothermia I/R group, RPC group, I/R+all-trans retin.. Read More»

Genome-wide association analysis of body conformation traits in Mexican Holstein cattle using a mix of sampled and imputed SNP genotypes
Authors: M.E. Gonz�¡lez, V.M. Gonz�¡lez, M.F. Monta�±o, G.E. Medina,P. Mahadevan, C. Villa and R. Villa
In arid and semi-arid zones, animal health and production are closely correlated with body conformation traits. These selected traits, in turn, allow livestock to adapt unfavorable soil and environmental conditions. The primary objective of this study was to perform a genome-wide association analysis for a set of sampled and i.. Read More»

Correlations among copeptin, ischemia-modified albumin, and the extent of myocardial injury in patients with acute carbon monoxide poisoning
Authors: J. Li, J.S. Wang, Z.X. Xie, W.Z. Wang, L. Wang, G.Y. Ma, Y.Q. Li and P. Wang
This study evaluated the relationships among copeptin, ischemia-modified albumin (IMA), and extent of myocardial injury in patients with acute carbon monoxide poisoning (ACOP). A total of 110 patients with different degrees of ACOP were selected as the poisoning group, and 30 healthy individuals as the control group. The levels of troponin I (cTnI), IMA, .. Read More»

Genetic improvement is the fundamental basis for improving nitrogen-use efficiency. A better understanding of genetic factors controlling nitrogen uptake and utilization is required for crop genetic improvement. In this study, we identified the quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with traits of nitrogen uptake and utilization by using the single-seq.. Read More»
