Authors: A.A. Moreira, L.S.S. Martins, R.S. Musser, R.M. Moraes Filho, W.A. Maranh�£o, J.G.A. Rossiter and A.V.V. Montarroyos
Malpighia emarginata is cultivated in almost all Brazil and is considered an important agricultural crop. The root-knot nematode Meloidogyne enterolobii has been described as a major threat to this crop, causing great production losses. Due to the scarcity of information about the severity of this parasite in M. emarginata pla.. Read More»

Wnt7b gene expression and functional analysis in the mussel Mytilus coruscus
Authors: Y.F. Xu, X. Liang, Y.R. Chen, Y.F. Li and J.L. Yang
To understand the potential functions of Wnt7b in different developmental stages and adult tissues of the mussel Mytilus coruscus, the Wnt7b gene was cloned using the rapid amplification of cDNA ends technique. The full-length Wnt7b gene was 1910 bp long, with a 1059-bp open reading frame encoding 352 amino acids. The amino ac.. Read More»

Preparation and biological activity of a paclitaxel-single-walled carbon nanotube complex
Authors: X.D. Fu, Y.Y. Zhang, X.J. Wang, J.X. Shou, Z.Z. Zhang andL.J. Song
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have unique transmembrane abilities. The huge superficial area and abundance of π electrons confer SWCNTs perfect absorptive capability toward proteins, nucleates, and many drugs. These characteristics make SWCNTs a new and efficient drug carrier. The purpose of this study was to disp.. Read More»

Association of genetic variations in miR-146a rs2910164 and miR-149 rs11614913 with the development of classic Kaposi sarcoma
Authors: H. Yang, Q.L. Lu, X.J. Wu, H.Y. Ma, Y.Y. Qu, D.Z. Zhang and X.M. Pu
Classic Kaposi sarcoma is a type of vascular proliferative inflammatory disease. Previous studies have reported significant associations between microRNAs expression and the development of classic Kaposi sarcoma. Here, we conducted a case-control study to investigate the association between miR-146a and miR-149 genetic polymor.. Read More»

Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of CIPK genes in diploid cottons
Authors: J.J. Wang, X.K. Lu, Z.J. Yin, M. Mu, X.J. Zhao, D.L. Wang, S. Wang, W.L. Fan, L.X. Guo, W.W. Ye and S.X. Yu
Calcineurin B-like protein-interacting protein kinase (CIPK) plays a key regulatory role in the growth, development, and stress resistance of plants by combining with phosphatase B subunit-like protein. In the present study, CIPK genes were identified in the whole genomes of diploid cottons and their sequences were subjected t.. Read More»

Development and characterization of microsatellite markers for Brazilian four-eyed frogs (genus Pleurodema) endemic to the Caatinga biome
Authors: M.T.C. Thom�©, J. Alexandrino, S. Lopes, C.F.B. Haddad and F. Sequeira
We used pyrosequencing to develop microsatellite markers for the Brazilian four-eyed frog Pleurodema diplolister and tested the microsatellite markers for cross-amplification in its sister Pleurodema alium, which are both endemic species of the Caatinga biome in northeastern Brazil. We used multiplex sets to amplify and genoty.. Read More»

NJ cluster analysis of the SnRK2, PYR/PYL/RCAR, and ABF genes in Tibetan hulless barley
Authors: H.J. Yuan, Y.L. Wang, Z.X. Wei, Q.J. Xu, X.Q. Zeng, Y.W. Tang and T.S. Nyima
The abscisic acid (ABA) signaling pathway is known as one of the most important signaling pathways in plants and is mediated by multiple regulators. The genes SnRK2, PYR/PYL/RCAR, and ABF are relevant to both ABA-dependent and -independent signaling pathways. To elucidate the profile of these genes from Tibetan hulless barley .. Read More»

Correlation between gene polymorphisms of CYP1A1, GSTP1, ERCC2, XRCC1, and XRCC3 and susceptibility to lung cancer
Authors: H.X. Liu, J. Li and B.G. Ye
Lung cancer is a common malignant tumor that is characterized by high morbidity and poor prognosis. Studies suggest that an individual’s genetic background affects the risk of developing lung cancer. Therefore, we investigated the relationship between gene polymorphisms and susceptibility to lung cancer. We recruited 308.. Read More»

Relationship between genetic polymorphisms in the DRD5 gene and paranoid schizophrenia in northern Han Chinese
Authors: Y. Zhao, M. Ding, H. Pang, X.M. Xu and B.J. Wang
Dopamine (DA) has been implicated in the pathophysiology of several psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia. Thus, genes related to the dopaminergic (DAergic) system are good candidate genes for schizophrenia. One of receptors of the DA receptor system is dopamine receptor 5 (DRD5). Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs.. Read More»

Genetic analysis of molecular markers for propamocarb residue in Cucumis sativus using quantitative trait locus mapping
Authors: M. Xin, L. Wang, B.H. Ma, Z.W. Qin and X.Y. Zhou
The use of pesticides to protect plants against harmful organisms, such as pathogenic microorganisms, is one of the most effective ways to improve agricultural production. However, the continuous use of pesticides might present a risk to human health, animals, and the environment. In this study, two cucumber (Cucumis sativus) .. Read More»
