Authors: L.R. Alves, R.C. Antunes, R.B. Andrade, A.A. Storti, S.L.B. Reis, L.G. Carrazza, C.F. Osava and N.V. Costa
Intramuscular fat (IMF) content has been identified as an important factor in determining the quality of pork. Previous studies have suggested that IMF deposition may be associated with the presence of the halothane (HAL) gene. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the HAL gene on IMF deposition in crossbred pigs of comme.. Read More»

Selection of inbred maize (Zea mays L.) progenies by topcrosses conducted in contrasting environments
Authors: C.S. Rodrigues, C.A.P. Pacheco, M.L. Guedes, R.G.V. Pinho and C.R. Castro
The aim of this study was to identify inbred progenies of S0:1 maize (Zea mays L.) plants that were efficient at a low level of technology and responsive at a high level of technology through the use of topcrosses. Two contrasting environments were created using two levels of base fertilization and topdressing, so that the levels of nitrogen, phosphorus, .. Read More»

Long interspersed nucleotide acid element-1 ORF-1 protein promotes proliferation and invasion of human colorectal cancer LoVo cells through enhancing ETS-1 activity
Authors: M.Y. Li, M. Zhu, F. Feng, F.Y. Cai, K.C. Fan, H. Jiang, Z.Q. Wang and E.Q. Linghu
The human proto-oncogene long interspersed nucleotide acid element-1 (LINE-1) open reading frame-1 protein (ORF-1p) is involved in the progress of several cancers. The transcription factor ETS-1 can mediate the transcription of some downstream genes that play specific roles in the regulation of cancerous cell invasion and meta.. Read More»

Quick method for identifying horse (Equus caballus) and donkey (Equus asinus) hybrids
Authors: M.M. Franco, J.B.F. Santos, A.S. Mendon�§a, T.C.F. Silva, R.C. Antunes and E.O. Melo
The domestication of the Equus genus 5000-6000 years ago has influenced the history of human civilization. As soon as horse and donkey species had been domesticated, they were crossbred, producing humanity’s first documented attempt at animal genome manipulation. Since then, the mule (male donkey x female horse) and the reciprocal cross (the hinny, .. Read More»

Serum thyroid hormone reference intervals in the apparently healthy individuals of Zhengzhou area of China
Authors: P. Wang, Y.J. Gao, J. Cheng, G.L. Kong, Y. Wang, X.Y. Wu, Z.G. Zhao and H.J. Yuan
This study aimed to establish reference intervals for serum thyroid hormones [serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), triiodothyronine (TT3), thyroxine (TT4), free triiodothyronine (FT3), and free thyroxine (FT4)] in apparently healthy individuals living in Zhengzhou. According to the requirement for laboratory support for th.. Read More»

Cloning and characterization of ChiMYB in Chrysanthemum indicum with an emphasis on salinity stress tolerance
Authors: M. He, H. Wang, Y. Z. Liu, W.J. Gao, Y.H. Gao, F. Wang and Y.W. Zhou
v-myb avianmyeloblastosis viral oncogene homolog (MYB) transcription factors are key regulators of stress responsive gene expression in plants. In this study, the MYB gene, ChiMYB (GenBank accession No. KT948997), was isolated from Chrysanthemum indicum, and was functionally characterized with an emphasis on salinity stress tolerance. The full ChiMYB cDNA.. Read More»

Enhancement of pectinase production by ultraviolet irradiation and diethyl sulfate mutagenesis of a Fusarium oxysporum isolate
Authors: L.B. Yin, C.F. Zhang, Q.L. Xia, Y. Yang, K. Xiao and L.Z. Zhao
Fusarium oxysporum strain BM-201 was treated with ultraviolet (UV) radiation to obtain a high pectinase-producing strain. Mutant UV-10-41 was obtained and then treated by diethyl sulfate. Next, the mutant UV-diethyl sulfate-43 derived from UV-10-41 was selected as high pectinase-producing strain. Mutant UV-diethyl sulfate-43 was incubated on slant for 10 .. Read More»

Loss of heterozygosity on chromosome 5 in Iranian esophageal cancer patients
Authors: F. Attaran-Bandarabadi, A.A. Ziaee, M. Yazdanbod, M. Shahpanah, A. Setayeshgar and M. Nassiri
There is a high incidence of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in Iran. Non-functionality of some tumor suppressor genes has been reported in esophageal cancer. Loss of heterozygosity on chromosome 5 has also been reported in esophageal carcinomas. We assessed loss of heterozygosity along a region of the long arm of ch.. Read More»

Prominent contribution of Th1, Th17, and Tregs to the host response during M. neoaurum infection
Authors: C.F. Wang, W.T. Yang, L.M. Yue, J.Y. Qiu, L.J. Zhang, C. Wang, X.Y. Jiang and A.D. Qian
Nontuberculous mycobacteria are ubiquitous in outside environment and animals. As for nontuberculous mycobacteria infection, there is only limited information in humans regarding infection and the subsequent immune response, especially for Mycobacterium neoaurum. Here, haematoxylin-eosin and Ziehl-Neelsen staining were used to observe pathological changes.. Read More»

Sexual reproduction development in apomictic Eulaliopsis binata (Poaceae)
Authors: J.J. Li, L. Liu, Y.D. Ouyang and J.L. Yao
Apomixis is a particular mode of reproduction that allows progeny formation without meiosis and fertilization. Eulaliopsis binata, a tetraploid apomictic species, is widely used for making paper, rope and mats. There is great potential for fixation of heterosis in E. binata due to autonomous endosperm formation in this species. Although most of its embryo sa.. Read More»
