Cadmium accumulation and metallothionein gene expression in the liver of swamp eel (Monopterus albus) collected from the Mae Sot District, Tak Province, Thailand
Authors: M. Wahid, S. Prasarnpun and N. Yimtragool
Cadmium (Cd) is produced mainly as a by-product of zinc mining. In Thailand, the largest zinc mine is located in the Mae Sot district, Tak Province. Samples of Monopterus albus were collected from paddy fields in 4 sites, three downstream and one upstream from the zinc mine. The upstream site was considered to be uncontaminate.. Read More»

High molecular weight glutenin subunits and the classification used in Brazilian wheat industry
Authors: P.I. Chapla, E.S.N. Vieira, F.A. Franco, G.A. Linde, G.J. Silva, N.B. Colauto, V.S. Marchioro and I. Schuster
Industrial wheat quality flour is related to gluten amount in grain. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between high molecular weight (HMW) glutenins obtained by SDS-PAGE and gluten strength (W) obtained by the alveograph test and cropping environmental effect on wheat flour quality for Brazilian industry. Fifty-one.. Read More»

Inexpensive metagenomic DNA extraction protocol with high quality from marine sediments contaminated by petroleum hydrocarbons
Authors: I. GarcÃ?Âa-Bautista, T. Toledano-Thompson, E. DantÃ?¡n-GonzÃ?¡lez, J. GonzÃ?¡lez-Montilla and R. Valdez-Ojeda
Marine environments are a reservoir of relevant information on dangerous contaminants such as hydrocarbons, as well as microbial communities with probable degradation skills. However, to access microbial diversity, it is necessary to obtain high-quality DNA. An inexpensive, reliable, and effective metagenomic DNA (mgDNA) extra.. Read More»

Morphological, cytogenetic, and molecular characterization of Arachis kuhlmannii Krapov. & W.C. Greg. (Leguminosae)
Authors: A.P. F�¡vero, A.P.S. Pe�±aloza, C.R. Lopes and J.F.M. Valls
Arachis kuhlmannii occurs in Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul States, Brazil. Its area of occurrence partially overlaps with that of other species in the Arachis section. Because of their morphological similarities, these species are often mistaken one for another. This study aimed the correct classification of available acc.. Read More»
