Comparative study of the cytogenetic and molecular characteristics of Triatoma maculata and T. pseudomaculata (Heteroptera, Triatominae)
Authors: P.P. Mendon�§a
Triatomines are hematophagous insects of great concern in public health because they are vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi, a protozoan that causes Chagas disease. Triatomines are also of great genetic interest, because they possess holocentric chromosomes and undergo an unusual form of meiosis with post-reductional segregation of .. Read More»

Karyological features of wild and cultivated forms of myrtle (Myrtus communis, Myrtaceae)
Authors: S. Ser�§e, E. Ekbi�§, J. Suda, K. G�¼nd�¼z and Y. Kiyga
Myrtle is an evergreen shrub or small tree widespread throughout the Mediterranean region. In Turkey, both cultivated and wild forms, differing in plant and fruit size and fruit composition, can be found. These differences may have resulted from the domestication of the cultivated form over a long period of time. We investigat.. Read More»

Abnormal hemoglobin phenotypes in carriers of mild anemia in Latin America
Authors: P.J.A. Zamaro and C.R. Bonini-Domingos
We looked for abnormal hemoglobins in blood samples sent for diagnosis of anemia. Identification of the hemoglobins was made using electrophoretic, chromatographic and molecular procedures. The 2020 blood samples were of patients from various regions of Brazil and from some other Latin American countries. Among the abnormal he.. Read More»

Efficient human paternity testing with a panel of 40 short insertion-deletion polymorphisms
Authors: J.R. Pimenta and S.D.J. Pena
We developed a panel of 40 multiplexed short insertion-deletion (indel) polymorphic loci with widespread chromosomal locations and allele frequencies close to 0.50 in the European population. We genotyped these markers in 360 unrelated self-classified White Brazilians and 50 mother-child-probable father trios with proven pater.. Read More»

Molecular cloning and expression analyses of RPS3a gene from mulberry under abiotic stresses and among different mulberry varieties
Authors: J. Qian, H. Zhou, M.D. Zhao, H. Wang, F. Li, Y.H. Wang, R.J. Fang, W.G. Zhao and H.J. Kim
A full-length cDNA sequence coding ribosomal protein S3a of mulberry tree, which we designated MmRPS3a (GenBank accession No. KR610331), was cloned based on mulberry expressed sequence tags. Sequence analysis showed that the MmRPS3a is 1089 bp long and contains a 80-bp 5'-UTR (untranslated region) and a 220-bp 3'-UTR. Its open.. Read More»

Genetic characterization of pea (Pisum sativum) germplasm from Turkey using morphological and SSR markers
Authors: G. Sar�±kam�±��, R. Yanmaz, S. Ermi��, M. Bak�±r and C. Y�¼ksel
The need for the conservation of plant genetic resources has been widely accepted. Germplasm characterization and evaluation yield information for more efficient utilization of these valuable resources. The aim of the present study was to characterize the pea germplasm conserved at the Aegean Agricultural Research Institute of.. Read More»

Influence of different fluid resuscitation techniques on the number of myeloid-derived suppressor cells in rats
Authors: Z.J. Wang, H.X. Wang, L. Li, L. Wang and H.H. Dou
We investigated the influence of different fluid resuscitation techniques on the number of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in rats. Seventy-two healthy Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into groups that received sham operation (Sham group), hypertonic saline (HRS group), lactated ringer’s solution (LRS g.. Read More»

Artificial intelligence in the selection of common bean genotypes with high phenotypic stability
Authors: A.M. Corr�ªa, P.E. Teodoro, M.C. Gon�§alves, L.M.A. Barroso,M. Nascimento, A. Santos and F.E. Torres
Artificial neural networks have been used for various purposes in plant breeding, including use in the investigation of genotype x environment interactions. The aim of this study was to use artificial neural networks in the selection of common bean genotypes with high phenotypic adaptability and stability, and to verify their .. Read More»

Association of the programmed cell death-1 PD1.5 C>T polymorphism with cervical cancer risk in a Chinese population
Authors: X.F. Li, X.Q. Jiang, J.W. Zhang and Y.J. Jia
The association of the programmed cell death-1 PD1.5 C>T polymorphism with cervical cancer risk has not been investigated. In this hospital-based case-control study, we analyzed 256 patients with cervical cancer and 250 healthy controls. Pearson chi-square test was used to examine differences in the distribution of genotype.. Read More»
