Molecular traceability of beef from synthetic Mexican bovine breeds

Authors: R. Rodr�­guez-Ram�­rez, A. Arana, L. Alfonso, A.F. Gonz�¡lez-C�³rdova, G. Torrescano, I. Guerrero Legarreta, and B. Vallejo-Cordoba

Traceability ensures a link between carcass, quarters or cuts of beef and the individual animal or the group of animals from which they are derived. Meat traceability is an essential tool for successful identification and recall of contaminated products from the market during a food crisis. Meat traceability is also extremely .. Read More»

Microsatellite loci in the tetraploid spined loach, Cobitis biwae, and cross-species amplification in four related species

Authors: O. Jablonska, A. Mar�­n, K. Kowalewska, T. Fujimoto and K. Arai

Fifteen microsatellite loci were identified in the tetraploid spined loach, Cobitis biwae (Teleostei: Cobitidae). Among these, 14 were polymorphic (5-31 alleles) and showed moderate to high cross-species amplification transferability in four related species, Cobitis matsubarai, Cobitis taenia, Misgurnus anguillicaudatus, and Misgurnus fossilis. The loci, .. Read More»

Molecular cloning and functional characterization of a novel CBL-interacting protein kinase NtCIPK2 in the halophyte Nitraria tangutorum

Authors: L.L. Zheng, Z. Gao, J. Wang, H.R. Zhang and Y.C. Wang

CBL-interacting protein kinases (CIPKs) mediate many plant responses to abiotic stress. However, their functions are poorly understood in halophytes. In this study, we isolated a CIPK gene, NtCIPK2, from the halophyte Nitraria tangutorum. By sequence alignment and the construction of a phylogenetic t.. Read More»

Genetic characterization of an elite coffee germplasm assessed by gSSR and EST-SSR markers

Authors: R.F. Missio, E.T. Caixeta, E.M. Zambolim, G.F. Pena, L. Zambolim, L.A.S. Dias and N.S. Sakiyama

Coffee is one of the main agrifood commodities traded worldwide. In 2009, coffee accounted for 6.1% of the value of Brazilian agricultural production, generating a revenue of US$6 billion. Despite the importance of coffee production in Brazil, it is supported by a narrow genetic base, with few accessions. Molecular differentiation and diversity of a coffee b.. Read More»

Comparison of RAPD and ISSR markers for assessment of genetic diversity among endangered rare Dalbergia oliveri (Fabaceae) genotypes in Vietnam

Authors: D.T. Phong, V.T.T. Hien, T.T.V. Thanh and D.V. Tang

Dalbergia oliveri is a leguminous tree of the Fabaceae family. This species is popular and valuable in Vietnam and is currently listed on the Vietnam Red List and on the IUCN Red List as endangered. Two PCR techniques using RAPD and inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers were used to make a comparative analysis of genetic.. Read More»

Detection of quantitative trait loci for kernel oil and protein concentration in a B73 and Zheng58 maize cross

Authors: Z. Yang, X. Li, N. Zhang, Y.N. Zhang, H.W. Jiang, J. Gao, B.K. Kuai, Y.L. Ding, X.Q. Huang

Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the most important food crops throughout the world, and provides oil and proteins to humans and livestock. Kernel oil and protein content in maize are two complex quantitative traits. In order to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) controlling oil and protein concentration in maize kernels, and to evaluate their genetic ef.. Read More»

Genetic analysis of the Venezuelan Criollo horse

Authors: E.G. Cothran, J.L. Canelon, C. Luis, E. Conant and R. Juras

Various horse populations in the Americas have an origin in Spain; they are remnants of the first livestock introduced to the continent early in the colonial period (16th and 17th centuries). We evaluated genetic variability within the Venezuelan Criollo horse and its relationship with other horse breeds. We observed high leve.. Read More»

Population genetic diversity and genetic structure of Spodoptera exigua around the Bohai Gulf area of China based on mitochondrial DNA signatures

Authors: L.-H. Zhou, X.-Y. Wang and J.-J. Lei

The beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), is an economically important pest that causes major losses in some main crop-producing areas of China. To control this pest effectively, it is necessary to investigate its population genetic diversity and genetic structure around the Bohai Gulf area of China. In this study, we used two mitocho..

Effects of different doses of Savda Munziq on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats with abnormal Savda syndrome

Authors: A. Maimaitiaili, A. Shabiti, M. Abudureheman, Z. Musha, Q. Jun, G. Maimaitiaili, A. Aibibula and H. Upur

To investigate the effects of different doses of abnormal Savda Munziq on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MI/RI) in rats with the abnormal Savda syndrome, 50 abnormal Savda animal models were randomly divided into a control group, a model group, a high-dose group, a middle-dose group, and a low-dose group, with each gr..
