The G1138A mutation rate in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) gene is increased in cells carrying the t (4; 14) translocation
Authors: P.L. Reddy and R.P. Grewal
Spontaneous mutations are a common phenomenon, occurring in both germ-line and somatic genomes. They may have deleterious consequences including the development of genetic disorders or, when occurring in somatic tissues, may participate in the process of carcinogenesis. Similar to many mutational hotspots, the G1138A mutation .. Read More»

Conservation and population genetic diversity of Curcuma wenyujin (Zingiberaceae), a multifunctional medicinal herb
Authors: W.H. Zheng, Y. Zhuo, L. Liang, W.Y. Ding, L.Y. Liang and X.F. Wang
Curcuma wenyujin is an important multifunctional medicinal herb in China. Currently, populations of C. wenyujin are decreasing, and wild individuals have almost disappeared from their natural habitats. Moreover, little is known regarding the molecular characteristics of this plant. In this study, we investigated the genetic diversity and variation of five.. Read More»

Overexpression of the CmACS-3 gene in melon causes abnormal pollen development
Authors: H. Zhang and F. Luan
Sexual diversity expressed by the Curcurbitaceae family is a primary example of developmental plasticity in plants. Most melon genotypes are andromonoecious, where an initial phase of male flowers is followed by a mixture of bisexual and male flowers. Over-expression of the CmACS-3 gene in melon plants showed an increased number of flower buds, and increa.. Read More»

A general review of competition genetic effects with an emphasis on swine breeding
Authors: C.Y. Chen, R.K. Johnson, L.D. Van Vleck, S. Newman
A review of previous studies is presented on estimates of genetic parameters and responses to selection with traditional breeding approaches, on correlations between agonistic behavior and growth performance, and on theoretical frameworks for selection incorporating interactions among individuals and on practical methods for i..

Genome-wide association study of meat quality traits in chicken
Authors: T. Zhang, Q.C. Fan, J.Y. Wang, G.X. Zhang, Y.P. Gu and Y. Tang
Meat quality traits are very important in the poultry industry. To identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and candidate genes affecting meat quality traits, a genome-wide association study was performed using the Illumina chicken 60K SNP beadchip in Jinghai yellow chicken. Four meat quality traits were measured. Two SNPs reached 5% Bonferroni gen.. Read More»

Identification of Glomerella cingulata f. sp phaseoli recombinants by RAPD markers
Authors: O.A. Camargo Junior, E.A. Souza, M.C. Mendes-Costa, J.B. Santos, M.A. Soares
We examined the capacity of strains of Glomerella cin-gulata f. sp phaseoli fungus (Colletotrichum lindemuthianum sexual stage) to form recombinants, using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD). Crosses of all possible combinations between strains 40, 42, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, and 26 were made on Petri dishes using M3 cult.. Read More»

Polymorphism and haplotype analyses of swine leukocyte antigen DQA exons 2, 3, 4, and their associations with piglet diarrhea in Chinese native pig
Authors: X.Y. Huang, Q.L. Yang, J.H. Yuan and S.B. Gun
In this study, 290 Chinese native Yantai black pig piglets were investigated to identify gene polymorphisms, for haplotype reconstruction, and to determine the association between piglet diarrhea and swine leukocyte antigen (SLA) class II DQA exons 2, 3, and 4 by polymerase chain reaction-single stranded conformational polymorphism and cloning sequencing...

XPG polymorphisms are associated with prognosis of advanced non-small cell lung cancer treated with platinum-based doublet chemotherapy
Authors: H.Z. Zou and Y.Q. Zhao
We conducted a cohort study to investigate whether 3 potential single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group G (XPG) gene could predict the survival of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with platinum-based doublet chemotherapy. We enrolled 262 patients with histologically confirmed NSC.. Read More»

Abnormal cytokinesis in microsporogenesis of Brachiaria humidicola (Poaceae: Paniceae)
Authors: E.V. Adamowski, K.R. Boldrini, M.S. Pagliarini, C.B. do Valle
Microsporogenesis was evaluated in the Brachiaria humidicola collection of the Embrapa Beef Cattle Center, represented by 60 accessions. One accession (H121) presented an abnormal pattern of cytokinesis that had never been reported in this genus. Among 900 meiocytes analyzed in the first division, 10.7% underwent precocious an..

Genetic variability and expression of agro-morphological traits among genotypes of Coffea arabica being promoted by supplementary irrigation
Authors: W.N. Rodrigues, S.V.B. Brinate, L.D. Martins, T.V. Colodetti and M.A. Tomaz
The use of supplementary irrigation to sustain the plantation during moments of severe water stress or moments of high water demand is becoming almost a norm to keep sustainable crops, especially due to the climate changes and the high frequency in which climate extremes are occurring lately. The objective of this study was to.. Read More»
