Authors: R.C.C. Vasconcellos, T.F.C. Lima, C.N. Fernandes-Brum, A. Chalfun-Junior and J.B. Santos
The interaction between polygalacturonase-inhibiting proteins (PGIPs), produced by plants, and endopolygalacturonases (PGs), produced by fungi, limits the destructive potential of PGs and can trigger plant defense responses. This study aimed to i) investigate variation in the expression of different common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) genotypes and its re.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of 19 highly polymorphic microsatellite markers in the devil stinger, Inimicus japonicus (Synanceiidae)
Authors: X.H. Dong, M.Y. Li, X.N. Tang, X.L. Zhang and L. Miao
Inimicus japonicus, the devil stinger, has an extensive distribution along the coast of China, Japan and the Korean Peninsula. Nineteen highly polymorphic microsatellite markers were isolated and characterized in I. japonicus. Twenty-eight individuals from a wild population were tested for polymorphism using this set of polymo.. Read More»

DNA barcoding and phylogenetic relationships of Ardeidae (Aves: Ciconiiformes)
Authors: Z.H. Huang, M.F. Li and J.W. Qin
The avian family Ardeidae comprises long-legged freshwater and coastal birds. There has been considerable disagreement concerning the intrafamilial relationships of Ardeidae. Mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) was used as a marker for the identification and phylogenetic analysis of avian species. In the present study, we analyzed the COI b.. Read More»

Mapping, expression and regulation of the TRa gene in porcine adipose tissue
Authors: Z.-W. Cai, Y.-F. Sheng, L.-F. Zhang, Y. Wang, X.-L. Jiang, Z.-Z. Lv and N.-Y. Xu
Thyroid hormone receptors (TR) are members of the nuclear receptor superfamily. There are at least two TR isoforms, TRα and TRβ. The TRα isoform plays a critical role in mediating the action of thyroid hormone in adipose tissue. We mapped the porcine TRα gene to chromosome 12 p11-p13, by using the ImpRH .. Read More»

Clinical effects and safety of interventional therapy for parenchyma vascular malformation
Authors: M.J. Cai, W.X. Liang , W.W. Mai, W.L. He and H.X. Kuang
Parenchyma vascular malformation (VM) is a common disease in modern society. Here, we investigated the clinical effects and safety of interventional therapy (IT) on the treatment of parenchyma VM. From January 1998 to December 2010, 31 patients with VM who elected IT were investigated, including 11 cases of venous VM and 20 ca.. Read More»

Characterization and identification of ISSR markers associated with oil content in sea buckthorn berries
Authors: J. Ding, C.J. Ruan, Y. Guan, J.Y. Shan, H. Li and Y.H. Bao
Bioactive oils extracted from sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) berries contain highly nutritional and medicinal compounds; however, the oil contents of sea buckthorn berries are very low. Thirteen inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) primers were used to identify markers associated with oil content of dry pulp in 51 cultivars and lines, which clustered.. Read More»

Association of MHC class-III gene polymorphisms with ER-positive breast cancer in Chinese Han population
Authors: Q. Pan Y. Ning L.Z. Chen S. Zhang Z.Z. Liu X.X. Yang W. Wei H. Wei Q.G. Li H.N. Yue J.X. Wang
Polymorphisms of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) have been linked to many diseases, especially autoimmune disorders. Previous studies have shown that genetic variants in MHC class III are associated with breast cancer. To determine if there is an association between MHC class III and breast cancer risk in the Chinese Han population, we carried .. Read More»

Association of HLA-DRB alleles and pulmonary tuberculosis in North Chinese patients
Authors: G.L. Shi, X.L. Hu, L. Yang, C.L. Rong, Y.L. Guo and C.X. Song
Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) plays a central role in the regulation of the immune response. HLA class II molecules are essential for T cell-mediated adaptive immunity and present peptide antigens to CD4+ T cells. Because of its important role in the immune response and its high degree of polymorphism, the HLA system is associ.. Read More»

Authors: W. Wang, C.Y. Ma, W. Chen, H.Y. Ma, H. Zhang, Y.Y. Meng, Y. Ni and L.B. Ma
Determining correlations between certain traits of economic importance constitutes an essential component of selective activities. In this study, our aim was to provide effective indicators for breeding programs of Lateolabrax maculatus, an important aquaculture species in China. We analyzed correlations between 20 morphometric traits and body weight, usi.. Read More»

Authors: R.P. Savegnago, M.E. Buzanskas, B.N. Nunes, S.B. Ramos, M.C. Ledur, K. Nones and D.P. Munari
Studies estimating genetic parameters for reproductive traits in chickens can be useful for understanding and improvement of their genetic architecture. A total of 1276 observations of fertility (FERT), hatchability of fertile eggs (HFE) and hatchability of total eggs (HTE) were used to estimate the genetic and phenotypic para.. Read More»
