Molecular cloning and differential expression of the glucocorticoid receptorgene in the estuarine tapertail anchovy Coilia nasus
Authors: F.K. Du, G.C. Xu, Y. Li, Z.J. Nie and P. Xu
To understand the regulation of the glucocorticoid receptor gene (Gcr) during loading and transport stress in fish, the Gcr gene of Coilia nasus was cloned. Gcr in C. nasus is expressed strongly in the liver and muscle, and less stronglyin the gills, brain, spleen, intestine, trunk kidney, and head kidney. Gcr expression in bo.. Read More»

Quantitative trait locus analysis for ear height in maize based on a recombinant inbred line population
Authors: Z.Q. Li, H.M. Zhang, X.P. Wu, Y. Sun and X.H. Liu
Maize (Zea mays L.) is among the crops with the greatest worldwide economic importance. Ear height is a very important trait that is considered necessary in maize and is related to morphology, lodging, and yield. To realize its genetic basis, an F9 recombinant inbred line population and a genetic map consisting of 101 simple s.. Read More»

Genetic diversity analysis of fruit characteristics of hawthorn germplasm
Authors: K. Su,Y.S. Guo, G. Wang, Y.H. Zhao, W.X. Dong
One hundred and six accessions of hawthorn intraspecific resources, from the National Germplasm Repository at Shenyang, were subjected to genetic diversity and principal component analysis based on evaluation data of 15 fruit traits. Results showed that the genetic diversity of hawthorn fruit traits varied. Among the 15 traits.. Read More»

Isolation and in silico functional analysis of MtATP6, a 6-kDa subunit of mitochondrial F1F0-ATP synthase, in response to abiotic stress
Authors: A.A. Moghadam S.M. Taghavi A. Niazi M. Djavaheri E. Ebrahimie
Mitochondrial F1F0-ATP synthase is a key enzymatic complex of energy metabolism that provides ATP for the cell. Subunits of this enzyme over-express under stress conditions. Little is known about the structure and regulatory mechanism of the F0 portion of this enzyme. We isolated the full-length coding sequence of the RMtATP6 gene from rice and wheat, and pa.. Read More»

Development of simple sequence repeat markers in persimmon (Diospyros L.) and their potential use in related species
Authors: Y. Yang, Z.B. Jing, X.F. Ruan and J.M. Cheng
Persimmon (Diospyros L.) is an economically important fruit in the world, and it has been recognized as a healthy nutrient supply for human consumption. In this study, 14 microsatellite markers were developed from an AG/TC and AC/TG-enriched genomic library of Chinese persimmon Mopanshi. Twelve polymorphic markers were selected in 4 related species; these.. Read More»

Association of three common single nucleotide polymorphisms of SLC7A7 with the development of glioma in a Chinese population
Authors: H. Zhang and W.J. Shi
Gliomas are brain tumors that can be seriously damaging to human health. The SLC7 family is involved in amino acid or peptide transportation. The relationship between SLC7A7 polymorphisms and the development of glioma has been reported previously by a few studies. Therefore, we performed a hospital based case-control study to .. Read More»

RNA-Seq-based transcriptome and the reproduction-related genes for the aphid Schlechtendalia chinensis (Hemiptera, Aphididae)
Authors: P. Liu, Z.X. Yang, X.M. Chen, P. Yang
Chinese galls form on sumac plants (Rhus chinensis) and are used for medicinal and chemical purposes, due to their richness in tannins. The galls are formed by aphids, the most prominent of which is Schlechtendalia chinensis, which forms horn-shaped galls on the winged rachis of R. chinensis. S. chinensis has a complex life cy..

Polymorphisms in the ovine myostatin gene are associated with birth weight but not with weight gain in Iranian Makoei sheep
Authors: M. Farhadian A. Hashemi K. Mardani R. Darvishzadeh S. Jafari
Myostatin, a transforming growth factor-beta superfamily member, has been well documented as a negative regulator of muscle growth and development. Myostatin, which has 376 amino acids, is synthesized as a precursor protein. Polymorphism of the myostatin gene in Makoei sheep was investigated by PCR and single-strand conformation polymorphism technique (SSCP).. Read More»
