Genetic background of Citrus nobilis Lour. �Gonggan� based on the chloroplast trnL gene
Authors: Y.-J. Guo, Q.-H. Ji, X.-Q. Zhou, Y.-P. Hu, L.-Y. Guo, H. Jiang and J.-W. Zeng
The genetic backgrounds of many Citrus varieties are quite complex. Classifications and phylogenetic relationships of Citrus species have become the focus of researchs. Some conserved genes of chloroplast genome’s research have been proven effective in determining the biosources of hybrids and phylogenetic analysis. Thus, we studied variations among.. Read More»

Genetic variability in domesticated Capsicum spp as assessed by morphological and agronomic data in mixed statistical analysis
Authors: C.P. Sudr�©, L.S.A. Gon�§alves, R. Rodrigues, A.T. do Amaral J�ºnior, E.M. Riva-Souza and C. dos S. Bento
Capsicum species are very important in Brazil because of economic, cultural and biological factors, and the country is considered to be a diversity center for this genus. Collection and maintenance of the genetic diversity in Capsicum are important to avoid genetic erosion. Besides the identification of species, the characteri.. Read More»

Psychological characteristics of and counseling for carriers of structural chromosome abnormalities
Authors: H.L. Wang, B. Wu, K.M. Guo and R.H. Tian
Infertility as a psychological problem has gained increasing attention. Male partners among infertile couples have elevated levels of psychological distress, which could affect semen quality, result in hormonal abnormalities, and increase the occurrence of early miscarriage. Infertile women are more vulnerable to psychological.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of the forage peanut in the Jequitinhonha, S�£o Francisco, and Paran�£ River valleys of Brazil
Authors: H.S.F.S. Az�ªvedo, A.C.B. Sousa, K. Martins, J.C. Oliveira, R.B.T. Yomura, L.M. Silva, J.F.M. Valls, G.M.L. Assis and T. Campos
Arachis pintoi and A. repens are legumes with a high forage value that are used to feed ruminants in consortium systems. Not only do they increase the persistence and quality of pastures, they are also used for ornamental and green cover. The objective of this study was to analyze microsatellite markers in order to access the .. Read More»

Transferability of microsatellite loci from exotic Cervidae to Brazilian brocket deer (Mazama spp, Mammalia: Cervidae)
Authors: A.M.B. Mantellatto, E.A.G. Carnelossi and J.M.B. Duarte
Transferability of microsatellite loci between closely related species has been reported in several species. This helps reduce costs involved with the development of primers for newly investigated species. Fifteen microsatellite primers developed for Rangifer tarandus, Cervus elaphus, C. axis, and Moschus berezovskii were test.. Read More»

Molecular cloning and expression of epsilon toxin from Clostridium perfringens type D and tests of animal immunization
Authors: A.M. Souza, J.K.P. Reis, R.A. Assis, C.C. Horta, F.F. Siqueira, S. Facchin, E.R. Alvarenga, C.S. Castro, F.M. Salvarani2, R.O.S. Silva, P.S. Pires, C. Contigli, F.C.F. Lobato and E. Kalapothakis
Epsilon toxin produced by Clostridium perfringens types B and D causes enterotoxemia in sheep, goats and calves. Enterotoxemia can cause acute or superacute disease, with sudden death of the affected animal. It provokes huge economic losses when large numbers of livestock are affected. Therapeutic intervention is challenging, .. Read More»

Correlation between serum level of chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 18 and poor prognosis in breast cancer
Authors: J.H. Sun, N. Fan and Y. Zhang
In this study, we investigated the correlation between serum chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 18 (CCL-18) and the prognosis as well as clinical characteristics of breast cancer. Blood samples from 207 breast cancer patients, 126 individuals with benign breast tumors, and 93 healthy women were collected. Serum CCL-18 expression was.. Read More»

Transferability and characterization of microssatellite loci in Anacardium humile A. St. Hil. (Anacardiaceae)
Authors: T.N. Soares, L.L. Sant�Ana, L.K. de Oliveira, M.P.C. Telles and R.G. Collevatti
Microsatellite markers were transferred from the cashew, Anarcadium occidentale, to Anacardium humile (Anacardiaceae), a Neotropical shrub from the Brazilian savanna, that produces an edible nut and pseudo-fruit. We tested 14 microsatellite primers from A. occidentale on A. humile. Polymorphism of each microsatellite locus was analyzed based on 58 individ.. Read More»

Interpretation of electrophoretograms of seven microsatellite loci to determine the genetic diversity of the Arabian Oryx
Authors: I.A. Arif, H.A. Khan, M. Shobrak, A.A. Al Homaidan, M. Al Sadoon, A.H. Al Farhan and A.H. Bahkali
Microsatellite markers are commonly used for examining population structure, especially inbreeding, outbreeding and gene flow. An array of microsatellite loci, preferably with multiallelic presentation, is preferable for ensuring accurate results. However, artifact peaks or stutters in the electrophoretograms significantly ham.. Read More»

Diversity of endophytic bacteria in Brazilian sugarcane
Authors: G.S. Magnani, C.M. Didonet, L.M. Cruz, C.F. Picheth, F.O. Pedrosa and E.M. Souza
Endophytic bacteria live inside plant tissues without causing disease. Studies of endophytes in sugarcane have focused on the isolation of diazotrophic bacteria. We examined the diversity of endophytic bacteria in the internal tissues of sugarcane stems and leaves, using molecular and biochemical methods. Potato-agar medium wa.. Read More»
