MDR1 C3435T polymorphism in Mexican patients with breast cancer
Authors: N.M. MacÃ?Âas-GÃ?³mez, M. GutiÃ?©rrez-Angulo, E. Leal-Ugarte, L. RamÃ?Ârez-Reyes, J. Peregrina-Sandoval, J.P. Meza-Espinoza, F. Ramos Solano, M. de la Luz Ayala-Madrigal and F. Santoyo Telles
We investigated whether the MDR1 C3435T polymorphism is associated with fibrocystic changes (FCC), infiltrating ductal breast cancer (IDBC), and/or clinical-pathological features of IDBC in Mexican patients. Samples from women who received surgical treatment in 2007 at the Centro Médico de Occidente (Méx.. Read More»

Molecular cloning and functional characterization of cyclin E and CDK2 from Penaeus monodon
Authors: C. Zhao, M.J. Fuand L.H. Qiu
Reduced reproductive performance of the black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) has caused economic losses and hampered the fishing industry. Detailed investigation of the molecular mechanism by which the cell cycle is regulated in this organism is needed to understand the development and maturation of ovaries and oocytes, with a view to improving reproducti..

Polymorphisms in the DGAT1 gene in buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) in the Amazon
Authors: C.S. Silva, E. Silva Filho, A.S. Matos, A.S. Schierholt, M.R. Costa, L.C. Marques, J.S. Costa, R.L. Sales, M.R. Figueir�³ and J.R.F Marques
Water buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) are quite well adapted to climatic conditions in the Amazon, and in this biome, they are noted for the considerable amount of meat and milk they produce and how hard they are able to work. Because of a lack of research dedicated to improving the rearing of buffaloes in the Amazon, the objective of this study was to geneti.. Read More»

Expression analysis of self-incompatibility-associated genes in non-heading Chinese cabbage
Authors: L. Wang, C. Wang, T.T. Ge, J.J. Wang, T.K. Liu, X.L. Hou and Y. Li
In Brassicaceae, a self-incompatibility (SI) system mediates pollen-pistil interactions. Self-pollen could be recognized and rejected by incompatible pistils. Several components involved in the SI response have been determined, including S-locus receptor kinase (SRK), S-locus cysteine-rich protein/S-locus protein 11, and arm r.. Read More»

An improved DNA marker technique for genetic characterization using RAMP-PCR with high-GC primers
Authors: C.L. Wei, J.L. Cheng, M.A. Khan, L.Q. Yang, S. Imani, H.C. Chen and J.J. Fu
Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) is a widely used molecular marker technique. As traditional RAPD has poor reproducibility and productivity, we previously developed an improved RAPD method (termed RAMP-PCR), which increased the reproducibility, number of bands, and efficiency of studies on polymorphism. To further develop the efficiency of this met.. Read More»

Efficient method of protein extraction from Theobroma cacao L. roots for two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry analyses
Authors: F.Z. Bertolde, A.-A.F. Almeida, F.A.C. Silva, T.M. Oliveira and C.P. Pirovani
Theobroma cacao is a woody and recalcitrant plant with a very high level of interfering compounds. Standard protocols for protein extraction were proposed for various types of samples, but the presence of interfering compounds in many samples prevented the isolation of proteins suitable for two-dimensional gel electro..

Identification and characterization of genes related to cellulolytic activity in basidiomycetes
Authors: A.F.N. Volpini, T. Thomazine, S.H. Umeo, G.A. Pereira, G.A. Linde, J.S. Valle, N.B. Colauto, F.G. Barcellos and S.G.H. Souza
Enzymes produced by basidiomycetes that are involved in the cellulose degradation process, and their respective codifying genes, must be identified to facilitate the development of novel biotechnological strategies and applications in the agro-industry. The objective of this study was to identify prospective cellulase-producing genes and characterize thei.. Read More»

Characterization and gene cloning of the rice (Oryza sativa L.) dwarf and narrow-leaf mutant dnl3
Authors: L. Shi, X.J. Wei, Y.M.N. Adedze, Z.H. Sheng, S.Q. Tang, P.S. Hu and J.L. Wang
The dwarf and narrow-leaf rice (Oryza sativa L.) mutant dnl3 was isolated from the Japonica cultivar Zhonghua 11 (wild-type). dnl3 exhibited pleiotropic developmental defects. The narrow-leaf phenotype resulted from a marked reduction in the number of vascular bundles, while the dwarf stature was caused by the formation of foreshortened internodes and a r.. Read More»

Analysis of pecan cultivars Mahan and Western in East China
Authors: X. Luo, Z. Li, Z. Sun and X. Wan
Pecan (Carya illinoensis) has been introduced to East China for over one hundred years, but its planting is still only occurring at a small scale. The key limiting factor is its low yield. To enhance the yield pecan in East China, two pecan cultivars, Mahan and Western, were examined. Twenty traits describing phasic development, yield, nut quality, and cu.. Read More»

Novel mutations in the FUCA1 gene that cause fucosidosis
Authors: W. Panmontha1, P. Amarinthnukrowh, P. Damrongphol, T. Desudchit, K. Suphapeetiporn and V. Shotelersuk
Fucosidosis is a rare lysosomal storage disorder inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. Its estimated frequency is below 1 in 200,000 live births. Its clinical phenotypes include progressive neurological and mental deterioration, coarse facial features, growth retardation, visceromegaly, angiokeratomas, and seizures. The disease is caused by mutation.. Read More»
