Proteins differentially expressed by Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli strain M03 due to the biliar salt sodium deoxycholate

Authors: C.B.A. Ribeiro1, M.G. Sobral1, C.L. Tanaka1, C.B. Dallagassa1, G. Picheth1, F.G.M. Rego1, D. Alberton1, L.F. Huergo2, F.O. Pedrosa2, E.M. Souza2 and C.M.T. Fadel-Picheth1

Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) can cause conditions ranging from diarrhea to potentially fatal hemolytic uremic syndrome. Enteropathogen adaptation to the intestinal environment is necessary for the development of infection, and response to bile is an essential characteristic. We evaluated the response of STEC strain M03 to the bile salt so.. Read More»

A Medicago truncatula H+-pyrophosphatase gene, MtVP1, improves sucrose accumulation and anthocyanin biosynthesis in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.)

Authors: J.W. Wang, H.Q. Wang, W.W. Xiang and T.Y. Chai

We recently cloned MtVP1, a type I vacuolar-type H+-translocating inorganic pyrophosphatase from Medicago truncatula. In the present study, we investigated the cellular location and the function of this H+-PPase in Arabidopsis and potato (Solanum tuberosum L.). An MtVP1::enhanced green fluorescent protein fusion was constructe.. Read More»

Phenotypic and molecular characterization of Colletotrichum species associated with anthracnose of banana (Musa spp) in Malaysia

Authors: M.A. Intan Sakinah, I.V. Suzianti and Z. Latiffah

Anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum species is a common postharvest disease of banana fruit. We investigated and identified Colletotrichum species associated with anthracnose in several local banana cultivars based on morphological characteristics and sequencing of ITS regions and of the β-tubulin gene. Thirty-eight Coll.. Read More»

Preset ureter catheter in laparoscopic radical hysterectomy of cervical cancer

Authors: L. Han, R. Cao, J.Y. Jiang, Y. Xi, X.C. Li and G.H. Yu

The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of a temporary ureteral catheter in preventing iatrogenic ureteral damage in cervical cancer patients undergoing laparoscopic radical hysterectomy. All cases had confirmed diagnoses of cervical cancer preoperatively between December 2008 and December 2012 in our hospi.. Read More»

Cytogenetic and anatomic behavior of cytochimeras and total polyploids in cassava

Authors: D.Y. Hashimoto-Freitas1 and N.M.A. Nassar2

Cassava periclinal cytochimeras, cultivars, and interspecific hybrid and polyploid types were studied in relation to embryonic, cytogenetic, and anatomical behavior. Their apical shoots, pollen grains, male and female buds, roots, stomata, and flowering period were analyzed. Chimeras exhibited increased size of L1 and L2 cells. Polyploidy led to enlargeme..

Genetic variability and phylogenetic aspects in species of the genus Macrobrachium

Authors: A.L. Guerra, A.V.B. Lima, R.V. Lucato J�ºnior, M.C. Chiachio, F.G. Taddei and L. Castiglioni

The genus Macrobrachium includes prawns, which are widely distributed in lakes, floodplains, and rivers in tropical and subtropical regions of South America. This genus presents nearly 210 known species with great ecological and economic importance. However, few studies are related to the biology of these crustaceans. In this .. Read More»

Geographical genetics allows the evaluation of evolutionary processes underlying genetic variation within and among local populations and forms the basis for establishing more effective strategies for biodiversity conservation at the population level. In this study, we used explicit spatial analyses to investigate molecular ge.. Read More»

Expression analysis of differentially expressed miRNAs in male and female chicken embryos

Authors: Y.P. Feng, J.F. Chen, P. Huang, X. Wang, J. Wang, X.L. Peng and Y.Z. Gong

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA molecules that play key roles in the regulation of development processes of many tissues and organs at the post-transcriptional level. However, little is known about how they affect chicken gonadal development. We examined the expression of four miRNAs (miR-218, -200b, -196, and -206.. Read More»
