Polymorphisms in the bovine CIDEC gene are associated with body measurement traits and meat quality traits in Qinchuan cattle
Authors: C.G. Mei, L.S. Gui, C.Z. Fu, H.C. Wang, J.L. Wang, G. Cheng and L.S. Zan
Previous studies have shown that the cell death-inducing DFF45-like effector-C (CIDEC) gene is involved in lipid storage and energy metabolism, suggesting that it is a potential candidate gene that affects body measurement traits (BMTs) and meat quality traits (MQTs). The aim of this study was to identify polymorphisms of the bovine CIDEC gene and analyze.. Read More»

Polymorphisms in the SIRT5 gene and their association with body measurement and ultrasound traits in Qinchuan cattle
Authors: L.S. Gui,H.C. Wang,G.Y. Liu and L.S. Zan
Silent information regulator 5 (SIRT5), a member of the Sirtuin family class III nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent protein deacetylases, plays an important role in metabolic and aging processes in mammals. We identified 4 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (G22010A, G22052A, G22119T, and G22245C) in the 3' untranslated regions of the SIRT5 g.. Read More»

Computational identification and characterization of conserved miRNAs and their target genes in beet (Beta vulgaris)
Authors: J.L. Li, J. Cui and D.Y. Cheng
Highly conserved endogenous non-coding microRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in plants and animals by silencing genes via destruction or blocking of translation of homologous mRNA. Sugar beet, Beta vulgaris, is one of the most important sugar crops in China, with properties that include wide adaptability and strong tolerance to salinity and impoverished.. Read More»

Local expression and role of BMP-2/4 in injured spinal cord
Authors: Z.S. Cui, P. Zhao, C.X. Jia, H.J. Liu, R. Qi, J.W. Cui, J.H. Cui, Q. Peng, B. Lin and Y.J. Rao
We investigated local changes in BMP-2/4 expression in rat spinal cords 1 week following injury to study the damage effects of BMP-2/4 in spinal cord injury (SCI). Sprague Dawley rats (45, 4 months old) were randomized into three groups comprising 15 rats each: a SHAM group, an SCI without noggin group (SCIO), and an SCI with noggin group (SCID). The SCIO..

Development and cross-species transferability of unigene-derived microsatellite markers in an edible oil woody plant, Camellia oleifera (Theaceae)
Authors: B.G. Jia, Q. Lin, Y.Z. Feng, X.Y. Hu, X.F. Tan, F.G. Shao and L. Zhang
Camellia oleifera is an important edible oil woody plant in China. Lack of useful molecular markers hinders current genetic research on this tree species. Transcriptome sequencing of developing C. oleifera seeds generated 69,798 unigenes. A total of 6949 putative microsatellites were discovered among 6042 SSRcontaining unigenes. Then, 150 simple sequence .. Read More»

Proteomic analysis of mycelial proteins from Magnaporthe oryzae under nitrogen starvation
Authors: X.-G. Zhou, P. Yu, C. Dong, C.-X. Yao, Y.-M. Ding, N. Tao andZ.-W. Zhao
Magnaporthe oryzae is an important model system in studies of plant pathogenic fungi, and nitrogen is a key nutrient source affecting microbial growth and development. In order to understand how nitrogen stress causes changes in mycelial proteins, we analyzed differentially expressed mycelial proteins from the M. oryzae virule.. Read More»

Authors: Y.L. Liu,L.H. Wang,J.Q. Li,Q.W. Zhan,Q. Zhang,J.F. Li and F.F. Fan
The sorghum-sudangrass hybrid (Sorghum bicolor x S. sudanense) is an important forage crop. However, little is known about the genetic mechanisms related to forage yield and the 4 forage yield component traits in this forage crop. In this study, a linkage map was constructed with 124 assigned SSR markers using an F2 mapping population derived from the cro.. Read More»
