Identification of marker genes in diabetic wounds by DNA microarray study
Authors: T. Ni1, N. Wang1, Z.G. Mao1 and M. Yao1,2
This study aimed to identify marker genes in diabetic wounds using a dataset based on a DNA microarray of dermal lymphatic endothelial cells, and our results provide a basic understanding of diabetic wounds through further study of these differentially expressed genes (DEGs). From the Gene Expression Omnibus database, we downloaded a gene expression micro.. Read More»

Cross-amplification of nonspecific microsatellites markers: a useful tool to study endangered/vulnerable species of southern Andes deer
Authors: J.C. MarÃ?Ân, P. Orozco-terWengel, K. Romero, J.P. VÃ?¡squez, V. Varas and J.A. Vianna
Thirty-nine microsatellite loci that are highly conserved in red deer, sika deer, reindeer, Soay sheep, and other artiodactyls were tested in two vulnerable and endangered Neotropical deer (pudu: Pudu puda and huemul: Hippocamelus bisulcus) with the aim of producing a standardized set of markers that can be used successfully i..

Impact of forage clipping treatments on performance of winter wheat
Authors: S.A. Jadoon1, H. Ullah1, F. Mohammad2, I.H. Khalil2, M. Alam1,D. Shahwar1, M.F.A. Malik1 and Y. Jamal1
Farmers in northern parts of Pakistan face severe shortage of green forage for their livestock during the harsh winter season. Winter wheat has the potential to be used as a dual-purpose crop for forage plus grain production in these areas. Ten elite winter wheat lines from Oklahoma State University were evaluated at Hazara Research Station Abbottabad und.. Read More»

Rapid identification of red-flesh loquat cultivars using EST-SSR markers based on manual cultivar identification diagram strategy
Authors: X.Y. Li, H.X. Xu and J.W. Chen
Manual cultivar identification diagram is a new strategy for plant cultivar identification based on DNA markers, providing information to efficiently separate cultivars. We tested 25 pairs of apple EST-SSR primers for amplification of PCR products from loquat cultivars. These EST-SSR primers provided clear amplification produc.. Read More»

Identification of UV-B-induced microRNAs in wheat
Authors: B. Wang*, Y.F. Sun*, N. Song, X.J. Wang, H. Feng, L.L. Huang and Z.S. Kang
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play critical roles in post-transcriptional gene regulation and act as important endogenous regulators to various stressors. Ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation is a major factor influencing crop growth and development. In this study, we isolated a novel wheat miRNA, named Tae-miR6000, and confirmed its expression diversity after UV-B treatm.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of microsatellite markers for Bertholletia excelsa (Lecythidaceae) population genetic analysis
Authors: P.S. Sujii1, P.W. Inglis2, A.Y. Ciampi2, V.N. Solferini1 and V.C.R. Azevedo2
Seven polymorphic microsatellite markers were developed and validated for Bertholletia excelsa (Brazil nut tree) population genetic studies. This species is a widespread monotypic Amazonian tree with high non-timber economic value. Unfortunately, Brazil nut production is currently less than 25% of historical production levels, because of extensive defores.. Read More»

Phylogenetic relationships of chrysanthemums in Korea based on novel SSR markers

Chrysanthemums are well known for their esthetic and medicinal values. Characterization of chrysanthemums is vital for their conservation and management as well as for understanding their genetic relationships. We found 12 simple sequence repeat markers (SSRs) of 100 designed primers to be polymorphic. These novel SSR markers were used to evaluate 95 acce.. Read More»

Inhibitory effect of microRNA-24 on fatty acid-binding protein expression on 3T3-L1 adipocyte differentiation
Authors: M. Kang1*, L.M. Yan2*, Y.M. Li3, W.Y. Zhang3, H. Wang3, A.Z. Tang1 and H.S. Ou3
We examined the effect of microRNAs on 3T3-L1 adipocyte differentiation and expression of adipocyte-specific gene fatty acid-binding protein 4 (FABP4). We screened and identified adipo-related microRNAs during 3T3-L1 adipocyte differentiation with a microRNA microarray. High expression plasmids of miR-24 and miR-21 were constructed and transfected into 3T.. Read More»

Expressions of Src homology 2 domain-containing phosphatase and its clinical significance in laryngeal carcinoma
Authors: L.B. Dong1, G.Q. Li2, Z.H. Tian2, Z.M. Wang2 and K. Xu2
We investigated the expression of Src homology 2 domain-containing phosphatase (SHP-2) in laryngeal carcinoma and its clinical significance. Expression of SHP-2 was detected by immunohistochemical staining in normal mucosal tissues and various grades of laryngeal carcinoma. We looked for possible correlations between expression of SHP-2 in laryngeal carci.. Read More»
