Random regression models using different functions to model milk flow in dairy cows
Authors: M.M.M. Laureano, A.B. Bignardi, L. El Faro, V.L. Cardoso, H. Tonhati and L.G. Albuquerque
We analyzed 75,555 test-day milk flow records from 2175 primiparous Holstein cows that calved between 1997 and 2005. Milk flow was obtained by dividing the mean milk yield (kg) of the 3 daily milking by the total milking time (min) and was expressed as kg/min. Milk flow was grouped into 43 weekly classes. The analyses were per.. Read More»

Composition and structure of microbial communities associated with different domestic sewage outfalls
Authors: Z.H. Wang, J.Q. Yang, D.J. Zhang, J. Zhou, C.D. Zhang, X.R. Su and T.W. Li
The diversity of microbiota in waste waters has not been thoroughly examined, despite the potential impact of microbes on effluent quality. Wastewater microbial communities harbor pathogenic bacteria, viruses, and parasites. To study microbial communities in domestic sewage outfalls, 454 pyrosequencing technology was used to i..

Genetic diversity of Broussonetia papyrifera populations in southwest China
Authors: S.X. Liao, Z.H. Deng, K. Cui, Y.Z. Cui and C.H. Zhang
Broussonetia papyrifera is an important native tree species with high economic value in southwest China. Its resources are drastically reduced because of over-harvesting and habitat fragmentation. In this study, 17 natural populations of B. papyrifera were analyzed using inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) ma.. Read More»

Delimiting invasive Myriophyllum aquaticum in Kashmir Himalaya using a molecular phylogenetic approach
Authors: M.A. Shah, M.A. Ali, F.M. Al-Hemaid and Z.A. Reshi
Myriophyllum aquaticum (Vell.) Verdc. (family Haloragaceae) is one of the most invasive and destructive South American aquatic plant species and is present in a wide range of geographic regions, including the Kashmir Himalaya. Confusion regarding the taxonomic delimitation of M. aquaticum in the Himalayan region impedes effective and tar.. Read More»

Cross-species transferability of eastern white pine (Pinus strobus) nuclear microsatellite markers to five Mexican white pines
Authors: A.R. Villalobos-Ar�¡mbula, J.A. P�©rez de la Rosa, A. Arias, O.P. Rajora
We examined cross-species transferability and usefulness of six nuclear microsatellite markers developed in consubgeneric eastern white pine (Pinus strobus) with regard to ecologically and commercially important Mexican white pine species of conservation genetics concern: Pinus chiapensis (Mart.)

Diversity of TNF-�± region in Chinese domestic goats
Authors: G.X. E,R.S. Na,Y.J. Zhao,Y.H. Ma and Y.F. Huang
Tumor necrosis factor-a is a cytokine with a wide range of effects on both lymphoid and non-lymphoid cells. In this study, we identified polymorphisms in major histocompatibility complex class III gene in the 4th exon and the 3' untranslated region of tumor necrosis factor-a to evaluate the immunogenetic diversity of Chinese south indigenous goat. Three s.. Read More»

A novel splice variant of the bovine GALNTL5 gene identified in Chinese Holstein bull testis tissue and its mRNA expression
Authors: H. Li, Q. Jiang, Z.H. Ju, J.M. Huang, X.G. Wang, C.H. Yang, Y. Sun, G.W. Yang, J.F. Zhong and C.F. Wang
The polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase-like protein 5 (GALNTL5) is a newly identified protein that is specifically expressed in testis tissue and participates in spermatogenesis. In this study, we characterized a novel bovine GALNTL5 splice variant, designated as GALNTL5-AS, by using real-time polymerase chain react.. Read More»

Development of novel SCAR markers for genetic characterization of Lonicera japonica from high GC-RAMP-PCR and DNA cloning
Authors: J.L. Cheng, J. Li, Y.M. Qiu, C.L. Wei, L.Q. Yang and J.J. Fu
Sequence-characterized amplified region (SCAR) markers were further developed from high-GC primer RAMP-PCR-amplified fragments from Lonicera japonica DNA by molecular cloning. The four DNA fragments from three high-GC primers (FY-27, FY-28, and FY-29) were successfully cloned into a pGM-T vector. The positive clones were seque.. Read More»

Therapeutic influence of intraperitoneal injection of Wharton�s jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells on oviduct function and fertility in rats with acute and chronic salpingitis
Authors: H.J. Luo,X.M. Xiao,J. Zhou and W. Wei
To study the effect of Wharton’s jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells (WJMSCs) on the rat salpingitis model, 50 female Wistar rats were randomly divided into one control and five model groups. Mixed bacteria were injected into the oviducts of model groups. The treated acute and chronic groups received intraperitoneal injections of WJMSCs (1 x 106) o.. Read More»

Association of MDR1 C3435T and C1236T single nucleotide polymorphisms with male factor infertility
Authors: S.E. Aydos, A. Karada��, T. ��zkan, B. Alt�±nok, M. Bunsuz, S. Heidargholizadeh, K. Aydos and A. Sunguro��lu
Infertility affects 1 in 6 couples and approximately 1 in 25 men. Male factor infertility is a major cause of spermatogenic anomalies, the causes of which are largely unknown. Impaired reproductive functions in men might result from physiological, genetic, and/or environmental factors such as xenobiotics. The multi-drug resistance1 (MDR1) gene encodes a P.. Read More»
