Authors: D.J. Zhang, J.X. Liu, Z.Y. Lu, C.L. Li, E. Comada and M.S. Yang
Poplar-cotton agro-ecosystems are the main agricultural planting modes of cotton fields in China. With increasing acres devoted to transgenic insect-resistant poplar and transgenic insect-resistant cotton, studies examining the effects of transgenic plants on target and non-target insects become increasingly important. We systematically surveyed populatio.. Read More»

Genetic diversity among melon accessions (Cucumis melo) from Turkey based on SSR markers
Authors: Y.A. Ka�§ar O. Simsek I. Solmaz N. Sari Y.Y. Mendi
Melon (Cucumis melo) is an important vegetable crop in Turkey, where it is grown in many regions; the most widely planted lines are local winter types belonging to the var. inodorous. We examined 81 melon genotypes collected from different provinces of Turkey, compared with 15 reference melon genotypes obtained from INRA/France, to determine genetic diversit.. Read More»

Mendelian inheritance, genetic linkage, and genotypic disequilibrium at microsatellite loci in Genipa americana L. (Rubiaceae)
Authors: R.O. Manoel, M.L.M. Freitas, E.V. Tambarussi, J. Cambuim, M.L.T. Moraes and A.M. Sebbenn
Genipa americana is a tropical tree species that is widely distributed in the humid tropical and subtropical regions of Central and South America. This study investigated Mendelian inheritance, genetic linkage, and genotypic disequilibrium at six microsatellite loci developed for G. americana. Adult trees (188) and regenerants (163) were sampled and genot.. Read More»

Identification of Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae strains causing bacterial canker of kiwifruit in the Anhui Province of China, and determination of their streptomycin sensitivities
Authors: X. Yang, X.-K. Yi, Y. Chen, A.-F. Zhang, J.-Y. Zhang, Z.-H. Gao, Y.-J. Qi and Y.-L. Xu
27Bacterial canker, caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae, is one of the most severe diseases of kiwifruit. It has become an international pandemic and threatens the sustainable development of kiwifruit production in all main kiwi-growing regions worldwide. Streptomycin has been the major bactericide for the control of kiwifruit canker, especially.. Read More»

Genetic diversity and the conservation priority of Glycine soja populations from Northern China
Authors: Y.L. Niu, W.Y. Guo, L.R. Bai and J.C. Zhao
ABSTRACT. Knowledge of the spatial patterns of genetic variation in wild populations has significant implications for in situ conservation and the determination of conservation order. To study the levels of genetic diversity, spatial genetic structures, and genetic distances in Glycine soja, 11 natural populations in northern China were analyzed by estima.. Read More»

Transferability and characterization of simple sequence repeat markers from Anacardium occidentale to A. humile (Anacardiaceae)
Authors: L.G. Cota P.A. Moreira E.V. Menezes A.S. Gomes A.R.O. Ericsson D.A. Oliveira A.F. Melo Jr.
Use of molecular markers can be limited by the high cost and extensive time required for their development. Transfer of simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers reduces the cost and time limitations and has allowed the use of these markers in a larger number of species. We tested 11 SSR markers previously developed for Anacardium occidentale on A. humile. The.. Read More»

Three branches of phospholipase C signaling pathway promote hepatocyte growth in rat liver regeneration
Authors: G.G. Xu, Z. Geng, X.C. Zhou, Y.G. He, T.T. He, J.X. Mei,Y.J. Yang, Y.Q. Liu and C.S. Xu
In general, the phospholipase C (PLC) signaling pathway is involved in many physiological activities, including cell growth. However, little is known regarding how the PLC signaling pathway participates in regulating hepatocyte (HC) growth during liver regeneration (LR). To further explore the influence of the PLC signaling pathway on HCs at the cellular .. Read More»

Application of indirect linkage analysis and direct genotyping to hemophilia A carrier detection in Sichuan, China
Authors: P. Sun, L. Ma, G. Diao, C.Q. Li and F.Z. Lin
Hemophilia A (HA) is an inherited X-linked bleeding disorder caused by mutations in the factor VIII gene. Prenatal detection in female carriers from families with HA is important to reduce the number of HA patients. The purpose of this study was to detect carriers in families with HA from Sichuan, China, using linkage analysis and a direct genotyping meth.. Read More»

Analysis of genetic diversity among wild bermudagrass germplasm from southwest China using SSR markers
Authors: Y. Ling X.-Q. Zhang X. Ma S.-Y. Chen T.-T. Chen W. Liu
Fifty-five wild accessions of bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon) were collected from southwest China (Sichuan, Chongqing, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Tibet), and their genetic diversity was analyzed using simple sequence repeat markers. A total of 267 polymorphic bands were detected with 18 primer combinations. The genetic similarity among the accessions ranged from 0.. Read More»

Relationship between polymorphisms in exon 10 of FSHR gene and litter size in swine
Authors: X.D. Zhang, H.Y. Zhu, J. Zhou, N. Wang, N. Zhou, L. Huang, T. Wu, Y.F. Feng, Y.Y. Ding and Z.J. Yin
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), a glycoprotein secreted by the anterior pituitary, can regulate ovarian function through the FSH receptor (FSHR). To evaluate the effects of the FSHR gene on reproductive traits in pigs, polymorphisms in exon 10 of the FSHR gene were observed by polymerase chain reaction-single-strand conformation polymorphism, and 3 si..
