Association between polymorphisms of the CRH and POMC genes with economic traits in Korean cattle (Hanwoo)

Authors: J. Seong and H.S. Kong

The corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH) and proopiomelanocortin (POMC) genes are considered to play an important role in the growth and development of mammals. In this study, the bovine CRH and POMC genes were characterized to detect genetic variation at these loci in relation to economic traits in Korean cattle (Hanwoo). Nine single nucleotide polymor..

Identifying differentially expressed genes and pathways in two types of non-small cell lung cancer: adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma

Authors: J. Liu, X.Y. Yang and W.J. Shi

Non-small cell lung carcinoma, NSCLC, accounts for 80-85% of lung cancers. NSCLC can be mainly divided into two types: adenocarcinoma (ADC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The purpose of our study was to identify and differentiate the pathogenesis of ADC and SCC at the molecular level. The gene expression profiles of ADC an.. Read More»

Association of XRCC5 polymorphisms with COPD and COPD-related phenotypes in the Han Chinese population: a case-control cohort study

Authors: B. Wang, J. Yang, J. Xiao, B. Liang, H.X. Zhou, Z. Su, S. Xu, H. Chen, C. Ma, J. Deng, D. Li, H. Zhou, X. Ou and Y. Feng

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and integrative genomic approaches have demonstrated significant associations between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and polymorphisms of the X-ray repair cross-complementing protein 5 gene (XRCC5) in non-Asian populations. We investigated whether XRCC5 polymorphisms might b.. Read More»

Expression of catalase, alcohol dehydrogenase, and malate dehydrogenase in rot grains upon fungicide use on maize hybrids grown at different spacings

Authors: E.R. Kluge, M.C. Mendes, M.V. Faria, H.O. Santos, L.A. Santos and I.E. Sandini

In this study, we evaluated the fungicide effect on the incidence of rot grains and expression of catalase (CAT), alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), and malate dehydrogenase (MDH) enzymes in commercial maize hybrids grown with conventional and reduced spacing in Guarapuava, PR, Brazil. The experiment was designed in random blocks wi.. Read More»

Inheritance of bacterial spot resistance in Capsicum annuum var. annuum

Authors: L.R.A. Silva, R. Rodrigues, S. Pimenta, J.W.S. Correa, M.S.B. Ara�ºjo, C.S. Bento and C.P. Sudr�©

Since 2008, Brazil is the largest consumer of agrochemicals, which increases production costs and risks of agricultural products, environment, and farmers’ contamination. Sweet pepper, which is one of the main consumed vegetables in the country, is on top of the list of the most sprayed crops. The bacterial spot, caused .. Read More»

Meta-analysis of associations between the TP53 Arg72Pro polymorphism with risk of head and neck carcinomas based on case-control studies

Authors: W.H. Ren, D.K. Jiang, Y. Pei, S.Q. Wang, X.M. Yang and L. Yu

Genetic factors have been shown to play a role in the development of head and neck cancers (HNCs). However, studies investigating the association between the TP53 Arg72Pro polymorphism and HNCs susceptibility have yielded conflicting results. Hence, we performed a meta-analysis of all eligible studies (up to January 1, 2012) t.. Read More»

Cloning and functional prediction of differentially expressed genes in the leaves of Glycine max parents and hybrids at the seedling stage

Authors: J. Zhang, D. Yao, P. Wang, S.Y. Guan, J. Ma and Y.P. Fu

Here, we compare the molecular mechanism of soybean heterosis through the differential expression of basic cloning. Specifically, we cloned 22 differentially expressed cDNA fragments from hybrid combinations of Jilin 38 x EXP (which had obvious yield advantages) and their parents. In addition, we compared the homology of these.. Read More»

Computing numerator relationships between any pair of animals

Authors: L.D. Van Vleck

We describe a simple method to compute the numerator relationship between any or all pairs of animals in the numerator relationship matrix. The method depends on output of the MTDFNRM program from the MTDFREML set of programs. An option of the MTDFNRM program creates a file that includes the inbreeding coefficient for each ani..

Heterosis for the improvement of yield in mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek]

Authors: P.A. Tantasawat, P. Khajudparn, T. Prajongjai and O. Poolsawat

Heterotic effects of mungbean hybrids from 25 crosses between parents differing in 9 agronomic and physiological traits were evaluated for various selected traits and seed yield. Significant heteroses were observed in most selected traits, except for the number of seeds per plant. When the heterosis of seed yield was evaluated in these hybrids, significan.. Read More»
