Analysis of simple sequence repeat markers linked with blast disease resistance genes in a segregating population of rice (Oryza sativa)

Authors: S. Ashkani, M.Y. Rafii, M. Sariah, A. Siti Nor Akmar, I. Rusli, H. Abdul Rahim and M.A. Latif

Among 120 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers, 23 polymorphic markers were used to identify the segregation ratio in 320 individuals of an F2 rice population derived from Pongsu Seribu 2, a resistant variety, and Mahsuri, a susceptible rice cultivar. For phenotypic study, the most virulent blast (Magnaporthe oryzae) pathotype.. Read More»

Embolus-carried vascular endothelial cell growth factor 165 improves angiogenesis in thromboangiitis obliterans

Authors: Q. Liu, H.C. Zhou, X.L. Yang, Y.P. Zhao, H.P. Luo, C.W. He and X.B. Wan

We investigated neovasculization effects of embolus-carried human vascular endothelial cell growth factor 165 (VEGF165)-encoded adenovirus (Ad) vector in the hindlimbs of rats with thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO). Rats were equally divided into blank control (I), TAO model (II), embolus (III), Ad-VEGF165 intravascular treatme.. Read More»

Plasmid construction for genetic modification of dicotyledonous plants with a glycolate oxidizing pathway

Authors: X.L. Bai, D. Wang, L.J. Wei and Y. Wang

There are many kinds of dicotyledonous C3 plants, which often release CO2 fixed by photosynthesis and consume energy in photorespiration. In Escherichia coli, glycolate can be metabolized by an oxidation pathway that has some of the same compounds as dicotyledonous photorespiration. With the bacterial glycolate metabolism path..

Damaging effects of water-borne cadmium chloride on DNA of lung cells of immature mice

Authors: X.F. Yang Y.M. Ge H.T. Zhang H.M. Ning J.Q. Jiang Y.H. Qi Z.L. Wang

We investigated the effects of cadmium on lung cell DNA in immature mice. The mice were randomly divided into four groups: control group, low-dose group (1/100 LD50), middle-dose group (1/50 LD50), and high-dose group (1/25 LD50); they were supplied with cadmium chloride or control water for 40 days. Lung cells collected from sacrificed mice were used to .. Read More»

Clinical and molecular genetic study of 12 Italian families with autosomal recessive Stargardt disease

Authors: M. Oldani S. Marchi A. Giani S. Cecchin E. Rigoni A. Persi D. Podavini A. Guerrini A. Nervegna G. Staurenghi M. Bertelli

Stargardt disease was diagnosed in 12 patients from 12 families using complete ophthalmologic examination, fundus photography, fundus autofluorescence, and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography. DNA was extracted for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and direct DNA sequencing (ABCA4 gene). Genetic counseling and eye examination were offered to 16 add.. Read More»

Genetic effect of the prolactin receptor gene on egg production traits in chickens

Authors: L. Zhang D.Y. Li Y.P. Liu Y. Wang X.L. Zhao Q. Zhu

The identification and utilization of potential candidate genes with significant effects on economically important traits have become increasingly important in poultry breeding programs. The prolactin (PRLR) receptor is a specific receptor for prolactin, which is an anterior pituitary peptide hormone involved in various physiological activities and is ess.. Read More»

Genetic trend estimates of meat quality traits in a male broiler line

Authors: G.B. Mour�£o, L.G. Gaya, J.B.S. Ferraz, E.C. Mattos, A.M.M.A. Costa, T. Michelan Filho, O.C. Cunha Neto, A.M. Fel�­cio and J.P. Eler

The present research was conducted to estimate the genetic trends for meat quality traits in a male broiler line. The traits analyzed were initial pH, pH at 6 h after slaughter, final pH, initial range of falling pH, final range of falling pH, lightness, redness, yellowness, weep loss, drip loss, shrink loss, and shear force. ..

Association of HTTLPR and 5-HT2A T102C polymorphisms with smoking characteristics and anthropometric profiles of Thai males

Authors: K. Suriyaprom B. Phonrat U. Chuensumran A. Tungtrongchitr R. Tungtrongchitr

Nicotine increases serotonin release in the brain. Gene polymorphisms in the serotonergic system have been suggested to be associated with smoking behavior. We investigated a possible association between two polymorphisms in the serotonergic system - HTTLPR of a serotonin transporter gene and 5-HT2Aat position T102C - with biochemical and anthropometric p..

Spermatogenesis in Nesotriatoma bruneri (Usinger 1944) (Hemiptera, Triatominae)

Authors: Y.V. Reis, K.C.C. Alevi, F.F.F. Moreira and M.T.V. Azeredo-Oliveira

The Nesotriatoma genus consists of the species N. flavida N. bruneri and N. obscura, forming the Flavida complex. Variation in the size and morphological differences intraspecific of N. flavida led to the description of N. bruneri. Two years later, the same author proposed the synonymization of N. bruneri with N. flavida. Only in 1981 the specific status .. Read More»
