Phosphate-induced-1 gene from Eucalyptus (EgPHI-1) enhances osmotic stress tolerance in transgenic tobacco.
Authors: A.O. Sousa, E.T.C.M. Assis, C.P. Pirovani, F.C. Alvim and M.G.C. Costa
Environmental stresses such as drought, freezing, and high salinity induce osmotic stress in plant cells. The plant response to osmotic stress involves a number of physiological and developmental changes, which are made possible, in part, by the modulation of the expression of specific genes. Phosphate-induced-1 gene (PHI-1) w.. Read More»

Rhizosphere bacteriome of the medicinal plant Sapindus saponaria L. revealed by pyrosequencing
Authors: A. Garcia, J.C. Polonio, A.D. Polli, C.M. Santos, S.A. Rhoden, M.C. Quecine, J.L. Azevedo and J.A. Pamphile
Sapindus saponaria L. of Sapindaceae family is popularly known as soldier soap and is found in Central and South America. A study of such medicinal plants might reveal a more complex diversity of microorganisms as compared to non-medicinal plants, considering their metabolic potential and the chemical communication between the..

Estimation of genetic parameters and genetic changes for growth characteristics of Santa Ines sheep
Authors: E.L. Aguirre, E.C. Mattos, J.P. Eler, A.D. Barreto Neto and J.B. Ferraz
Studying genetic parameters and genetic changes in Santa Ines sheep is important, because it is the commonest breed in Brazil. This study obtained genetic data from 37,735 pedigree records of lambs over 12 years (2003-2014) from 33 flocks in 10 Brazilian States; 11,851 records of performance were available. (Co)variance components, genetic parameters and .. Read More»

Extracellular enzymatic profiles and taxonomic identification of endophytic fungi isolated from four plant species
Authors: R.N. Alberto, A.T. Costa, J.C. Polonio, M.S. Santos, S.A. Rhoden, J.L. Azevedo and J.A. Pamphile
Plants of medicinal and economic importance have been studied to investigate the presence of enzyme-producing endophytic fungi. The characterization of isolates with distinct enzyme production potential may identify suitable alternatives for specialized industry. At Universidade Estadual de Maringá Laboratory of Microbi..

Cinnamon effectively inhibits the activity of leukemia stem cells
Authors: X. Guan, M.C. Su, R.B. Zhao, H.M. Ouyang, X.D. Dong, P. Hu, Q. Pei, J. Lu, Z.F. Li, C.R. Zhang and T.-H Yang
Cinnamon is the main component of Sanyangxuedai, which is one of the effective traditional Chinese medicines for treating malignancies. Leukemia is a prevalent malignant disease that Sanyangxuedai has been used to treat. Although successful in several studies, there is a lack of solid evidence as to why Sanyangxuedai has an effect on leukemia, and little .. Read More»

Human leukocyte antigen-B27 alleles in Xinjiang Uygur patients with ankylosing spondylitis
Authors: H.-Y. Zou, W.-Z. Yu, Z. Wang, J. He and M. Jiao
We investigated the distribution of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B27 subtypes in Uygur ankylosing spondylitis patients in Xinjiang. B27-positive patients with ankylosing spondylitis were subtyped by using polymerase chain reaction-sequence-based typing. The HLA-B27 subtype frequencies of Uygur patients were compared with those in Han patients in Xinjiang.. Read More»

Effect of total peony glucoside pretreatment on NF-�ºB and ICAM-1 expression in myocardial tissue of rat with myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury
Authors: L. Lu, P. Wei, Y. Cao, Q. Zhang, M. Liu, X.D. Liu, Z.L. Wang and P.Y. Zhang
Early recovery of myocardial perfusion is beneficial for myocardial ischemia. However, ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) may exacerbate myocardial injury. Research shows that total peony glucoside (TPG) can inhibit ischemic myocardial cell apoptosis. However, whether it can ameliorate I/R injury remains poorly understood. This study .. Read More»

Comparison of methods to preserve Rheum palmatum (Polygonaceae) for efficient DNA extraction and PCR amplification
Authors: M. Huang, X.J. Sun, Y. Zhou and X.M. Wang
In this study, we compared the quality of DNA extracted using the modified CTAB method, from Rheum palmatum leaves preserved using fourteen different methods, including ones used commonly in other species: under ultra-cold (-80°C) temperatures, after drying with an absorbent paper, desiccating using a silica gel, drying at 60°C, in 70% ethanol, ab..

Authors: W.H. Shen, Z.H. Li, Y.H. Peng, M.H. Yang, Z.Q. Tan and W. Zheng
Microsatellite markers were isolated using dual-suppression-PCR for the endangered species Excentrodendron hsienmu (Tiliaceae) to evaluate the genetic diversity and population structure of this species. A total of 11 polymorphic microsatellite loci were characterized in E. hsienmu. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 9, with an average of 5.2.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of Ceratoides arborescens, a species endemic to China, detected by intersimple sequence repeat (ISSR)
Authors: P.C. Wang, L.L. Zhao, B.T. Mo, Y. Zhang, J. Chen and L.B. Wang
In order to investigate genetic diversity and population structure of Ceratoides arborescens, six populations were selected from different steppe types in Inner Mongolia grasslands of China. Intersimple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers were used to assess the genetic diversity within and among natural populations of C. arborescens. Thirteen ISSR primers gen.. Read More»
