Lack of association between human leukocyte antigen polymorphisms rs9277535 and rs7453920 and chronic hepatitis B in a Brazilian population
Authors: V.R.Z.B. Pereira, J.M. Wolf, G.Z. Stumm, T.R. Boeira, J. Galvan, D. Simon and V.R. Lunge
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a serious public health problem worldwide. The progression of the disease depends on several host and viral factors and may result in fulminant hepatitis (very rare), acute hepatitis with spontaneous clearance, and chronic hepatitis B infection. Previous studies demonstrated that variations.. Read More»

High genetic diversity of Jatropha curcas assessed by ISSR
Authors: B.G. D?az, D.M. Argollo, M.C. Franco, S.M. Nucci, W.J. Siqueira, D.M. de Laat and C.A. Colombo
Jatropha curcas L. is a highly promising oilseed for sustainable production of biofuels and bio-kerosene due to its high oil content and excellent quality. However, it is a perennial and incipiently domesticated species with none stable cultivar created until now despite genetic breeding programs in progress in several countri.. Read More»

Expressed sequence tags related to nitrogen metabolism in maize inoculated with Azospirillum brasilense
Authors: L. Pereira-Defilippi, E.M. Pereira, F.M. Silva and G.V. Moro
The relative quantitative real-time expression of two expressed sequence tags (ESTs) codifying for key enzymes in nitrogen metabolism in maize, nitrate reductase (ZmNR), and glutamine synthetase (ZmGln1-3) was performed for genotypes inoculated with Azospirillum brasilense. Two commercial single-cross hybrids (AG7098 and 2B707.. Read More»

Influence of processing and storage of integral grape juice (Vitis labrusca L.) on its physical and chemical characteristics, cytotoxicity, and mutagenicity in vitro
Authors: E. D?¼sman, I.V. Almeida, E.P. Pinto, L. Lucchetta and V.E.P. Vicentini
Integral grape juice is extracted from the grape through processes that allow the retention of their natural composition. However, due to the severity of some processes, fruit juices can undergo changes in their quality. The present study evaluated the cytotoxic and mutagenic effects of integral grape juice by a cytokinesis-bl.. Read More»

Authors: S.V. ?lvares-Carvalho, R. Silva-Mann, I.B. Gois, M.F.V. Melo, A.S. Oliveira, R.A. Ferreira and L.J. Gomes
The success of recovery programs on degraded areas is dependent on the genetic material to be used, which should present heterozygosity and genetic diversity in native and recovered populations. This study was carried out to evaluate the model efficiency to enable the recovery of a degraded area of the Lower São Francis.. Read More»
