Authors: B. Li, M. Yang and J.W. Liu
This study investigated the STK39 expression in peripheral blood of hypertension patients and the relation between its genetic polymorphism and blood pressure. The observation group comprised of 42 primary hypertension patients admitted to our hospital, and the control group comprised of 30 healthy individuals who underwent physical examination in our hos..

Genetic studies of â??noble caneâ? for identification and exploitation of genetic markers
Authors: S. Nawaz, F.A. Khan, S. Tabasum, M.Z. Iqbal and A. Saeed
Forty genotypes (clones) of sugarcane, including elite lines, commercial cultivars of Saccharum officinarum and clones of S. barberi were fingerprinted with 50 SSR markers using a PCR-based marker assay. Nei’s genetic distances for SSR data were determined and relationships between accessions were portrayed graphically i.. Read More»

Conservation of glycolytic oscillations in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and human pancreatic ?²-cells: a study of metabolic robustness
Authors: A.S. Silva and J.A. Yunes
The present study compares two computer models of the first part of glucose catabolism in different organisms in search of evolutionarily conserved characteristics of the glycolysis cycle and proposes the main parameters that define the stable steady-state or oscillatory behavior of the glycolytic system. It is suggested that .. Read More»

Genetic variability of Mahanarva sp (Hemiptera: Cercopidae) collected from different sites in Brazil
Authors: A.M. Auad, R. Domingues, M.A. Machado, L.S. Souza, G.S. Carvalho and S.V. Paula-Moraes
Spittlebugs are the leading cause of damage to tall grasses. Annual losses are estimated to reach 2.1 billion dollars in sugarcane crops and grazing land throughout the world. Correct identification of these species is difficult due to similarities in color, body size and male genitalia. Molecular markers have been useful in t.. Read More»

Estimation of the growth curve and heritability of the growth rate for giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) cubs
Authors: T.D. Che, C.D. Wang, L. Jin, M. Wei, K. Wu, Y.H. Zhang, H.M. Zhang and D.S. Li
Giant panda cubs have a low survival rate during the newborn and early growth stages. However, the growth and developmental parameters of giant panda cubs during the early lactation stage (from birth to 6 months) are not well known. We examined the growth and development of giant panda cubs by the Chapman growth curve model and estimated the heritability .. Read More»

Characterization of the dry bean polygalacturonase-inhibiting protein (PGIP) gene family during Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Sclerotiniaceae) infection
Authors: M.B. Oliveira1, L.B. Nascimento1, M.L. Junior2 and S. Petrofeza1
Polygalacturonase-inhibiting proteins are leucine-rich repeat proteins that inhibit fungal endopolygalacturonases. The interaction of polygalacturonase-inhibiting protein with endopolygalacturonases limits the destructive potential of endopolygalacturonases and may trigger plant defense responses induced by oligogalacturonides..

Evaluation of insertion-deletion markers suitable for genetic diversity studies and marker-trait correlation analyses in cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.)
Authors: S. Meng, X.L. Yang, P.M. Dang, S.L. Cui, G.J. Mu, C.Y. Chen and L.F. Liu
Peanut is one of the most important oil crops worldwide. We used insertion-deletion (InDel) markers to assess the genetic diversity and population structure in cultivated peanut. Fifty-four accessions from North China were genotyped using 48 InDel markers. The markers amplified 61 polymorphic loci with 1 to 8 alleles and an average of 2.6 alleles per mark.. Read More»

Cloning and characterization of peanut allene oxide cyclase gene involved in salt-stressed responses
Authors: H.H. Liu, Y.G. Wang, S.P. Wang and H.J. Li
In this study, the full-length cDNA encoding allene oxide cyclase (AhAOC) was isolated from peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.). The deduced amino acid sequence of AhAOC showed high homology with other plant AOCs. The transcript of AhAOC was found to be abundantly expressed in roots. Expression analysis demonstrated that AhAOC was induced by abscisic acid, methy.. Read More»

Estimation of genetic variability among peanut genotypes for resistance to leaf spot disease
Authors: Q. Bano, M. Hassan, S.B. Hussain, M. Javed, M.A. Zulfiqar, M. Younas, M. Baber, M. Zubair and S.M. Hussain
This study aimed to identify high-yielding peanut genotypes with resistance to leaf spot disease. The experimentsincluded material from fourteen local and four exotic peanut genotypes that showed highly significant differences among morphological and disease severity parameters in all the genotypes which, in turn, suggested diversity genotypes. Disease se.. Read More»

Association between XRCC3 Thr241Met polymorphism and risk of osteosarcoma in a Chinese population
Authors: J. Guo, H.C. Lv, R.H. Shi and W.L. Liu
Osteosarcoma is one of the most common bone malignancies in adolescents, and hereditary factors may influence its susceptibility. We assessed the association between XRCC3 Thr241Met polymorphism and susceptibility to osteosarcoma in a Chinese population. Between May 2012 and May 2014, a total of 136 osteosarcoma patients and 136 healthy control subjects w.. Read More»
