Impacts of single nucleotide polymorphisms and haplotypes in the bovine Dapper1 gene on body weight
Authors: J. Wang, C. Wang, Y. Gao, X.-Y. Lan, C.-Z. Lei, J.-Q. Wang and H. Chen
The Dapper1 protein plays important role in multiple developmental processes via negative modulation of the Wnt signaling pathway. We detected variations in Dapper1 in 1185 individuals from 5 Chinese cattle breeds and determined their effects on bovine body weight. Two silent mutations (g.8344C>T and g.8428C>T) in exon 6 along with two substitutions.. Read More»

miR-204 suppresses non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) invasion and migration by targeting JAK2
Authors: P. Wang, H.Y. Lv, D.M. Zhou and E.N. Zhang
Aberrant expression of microRNA is associated with the development and progression of cancers. MicroRNA-204 (miR-204) down-regulation has been previously demonstrated in non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC); however, the underlying mechanism by which miR-204 suppresses tumorigenesis in NSCLC remains elusive. In this study, mi.. Read More»

Genetic analysis of agronomic traits associated with plant architecture by QTL mapping in maize
Authors: Z.P. Zheng and X.H. Liu
Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the most important cereal crops worldwide, and increasing the grain yield and biomass has been among the most important goals of maize production. The plant architecture can determine the grain yield and biomass to some extent; however, the genetic basis of the link between the plant architecture and grain yield/biomass is un.. Read More»

Construction of overexpression vectors of Magnaporthe oryzae genes BAS1 and BAS4 fusion to mCherry and screening of overexpression strains
Authors: M.L. Liang, J.L. Yan, Y.Q. Yang, L. Liu, C.Y. Li and J. Yang
The aim of this study was to construct overexpression vectors and selecting strains of the Magnaporthe oryzae effectors BAS1 and BAS4. Primer pairs of BAS1, BAS4, and mCherry were designed based on their known nucleotide sequences. The coding sequences of BAS1 and BAS4 were amplified, and the pXY201 plasmid was selected as a template to amplify the mCherr.. Read More»

Assessment of genetic diversity of Tunisian orange, Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck using microsatellite (SSR) markers
Authors: A. Mahjbi, A. Oueslati, G. Baraket, A. Salhi-Hannachi and S. Zehdi Azouzi
Citrus are one of the most cultivated crops in the world. Economically, they are very important fruit trees in Tunisia. Little is known about the genetic diversity of the Tunisian Citrus germplasm. Exploring this diversity is a prerequisite for the identification and characterization of the local germplasm to circumvent and co.. Read More»

Estimate of genetic gain in popcorn after cycles of phenotypic recurrent selection
Authors: H.J. Ematn�©, J.A.R. Nunes, K.O.G. Dias, P.E.R. Prado and J.C. Souza
Popcorn is widely consumed in Brazil, yet there are few breeding programs for this crop. Recurrent selection (RS) is a viable breeding alternative for popcorn; however, the gains achieved must be frequently checked. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of selection for grain type (round and pointed) after four cycles.. Read More»

Phenotypic and genotypic variation among Capsicum annuum recombinant inbred lines resistant to bacterial spot
Authors: S.O. Moreira, R. Rodrigues, H.S. Oliveira, A.M. Medeiros, C.P. Sudr�© and L.S.A. Gon�§alves
A breeding program carried out under Brazilian growing conditions to obtain Capsicum annuum cultivars with disease resistance to bacterial spot (BS) produced 8 promising recombinant inbred lines (RILs). The present study aimed to characterize these RILs using phenotypic descriptors and molecular markers (inter-simple sequence repeat) and to confirm their .. Read More»

Identification and expression analysis of YABBY family genes associated with fruit shape in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.)
Authors: H.Q. Han, Y. Liu, M.M. Jiang, H.Y. Ge and H.Y. Chen
YABBY family genes play important roles in the development of leaf, flower, and fruit. The purpose of this research was to integrate all the YABBY genes and analyze the correlation between gene expression and fruit shape in tomato. Scanning of 24 genomes of sequenced species demonstrated that YABBY genes were very normal and stable in flowering plants exc.. Read More»

The mud crab (Scylla paramamosain) is of economic importance for the fisheries and aquaculture industry in China. In this study, we constructed the first genetic linkage map for this species using microsatellite and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers. The map consisted of 65 linkage groups, including 34 trip.. Read More»

Authors: Y. Zhou, S.-J. Teng, L. Yang, S.-B. Li and Y. Xu
The aim of this study was to investigate the existence of a β-lactamase gene in a group of multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii. Twenty strains of multi-drug resistant A. baumannii were isolated.
