Isolation, diversity, and biotechnological potential of rhizo- and endophytic bacteria associated with mangrove plants from Saudi Arabia
Authors: F. Bibi, I. Ullah, S.A. Alvi, S.A. Bakhsh, M. Yasir, A.A.K. Al-Ghamdi and E.I. Azhar
Marine bacteria have been exceptional sources of halotolerant enzymes since decades. The aim of the present study was to isolate bacteria producing hydrolytic enzymes from seven different mangroves collected from the coastal area of Thuwal, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and to further screen them for other enzymatic and antifungal act..

Differential gene expression in the peripheral blood of Chinese Sanhe cattle exposed to severe cold stress
Authors: Q. Xu, Y.C. Wang, R. Liu, L.F. Brito, L. Kang, Y. Yu, D.S. Wang, H.J. Wu and A. Liu
Livestock is an important food resource for the inhabitants of cold regions, such as northern Asia and alpine regions, where agriculture is limited. In these regions, cold stress largely affects livestock production, thereby reducing the productivity and survival of animals. Despite the importance of breeding cold-tolerant ani.. Read More»

Selecting sugarcane genotypes by the selection index reveals high gain for technological quality traits
Authors: L.A. Silva, P.E. Teodoro, L.A. Peixoto, C. Assis, K. Gasparini, M.H.P. Barbosa and L.L. Bhering
Sugarcane (Saccharum sp) is one of the most promising crops and researchers have sought for renewable alternative energy sources to reduce CO2 emission. The study of strategies, which allow breeders in the selection of superior genotypes for many traits simultaneously, is important. Therefore, the objectives of this study were.. Read More»

Identification of reference genes for RT-qPCR analysis in peach genotypes with contrasting chilling requirements
Authors: N. Marini, C.B. Bevilacqua, M.V. B�¼ttow, M.C.B. Raseira and S. Bonow
Selecting and validating reference genes are the first steps in studying gene expression by reverse transcriptase-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The present study aimed to evaluate the stability of five reference genes for the purpose of normalization when studying gene expression in various cultivars of Pru.. Read More»

Assessment of allelic diversity among drought-resistant cotton genotypes using microsatellite markers
Authors: A. Javaid, F.S. Awan, F.M. Azhar and I.A. Khan
Drought, in conjunction with high temperature, is an important environmental constraint to cotton production. Development of cotton varieties with increased tolerance against adverse environmental conditions has been proposed as effective strategy for ensuring reliable yields. In the present study, 30 simple sequence repeat (S.. Read More»

Authors: E. Gralak, M.V. Faria, A.S.T. Figueiredo, D.A. Rizzardi, M. Neumann, M.C. Mendes, C.A. Scapim and S. Galbeiro
We assessed the impact of genetic divergence and the ability to combine corn hybrids used for the production of silage on the agronomic and bromatological traits of silage quality. We evaluated 18 corn hybrids used as genitors in a circulant diallel scheme in which each genitor hybrid participated in 9 hybrid combinations, and.. Read More»
