Histochemical map of the ectopic expression of the Arabidopsis at Ext1 extensin gene in transgenic tobacco
Authors: G. Merkouropoulos and A.H. Shirsat
Histochemical analysis of transgenic tobacco plants harboring the promoter of the Arabidopsis extensin gene atExt1 fused to the β-glucuronidase gene coding sequence demonstrated expression of the transgene in stem tissues. The transgene was expressed in cells of the internal and external phloem at the nodal and internodal.. Read More»

Estimation of genetic parameters for partial egg production periods by means of random regression models
Authors: G.C. Venturini, D.A. Grossi, S.B. Ramos, V.A.R. Cruz, C.G. Souza, M.C. Ledur, L. El Faro, G.S. Schmidt and D.P. Munari
We estimated genetic parameters for egg production in different periods by means of random regression models, aiming at selection based on partial egg production from a generation of layers. The production was evaluated for each individual by recording the number of eggs produced from 20 to 70 weeks of age, with partial record.. Read More»

Induced mitotic homologous recombination by the babesicide imidocarb dipropionate in Aspergillus nidulans diploid cells
Authors: P.A.S.R. Santos, J.R. Sant�Anna, C.C.S. Franco, L.J. Rosada, G.N.M. Esquissato and M.A.A. Castro-Prado
Imidocarb dipropionate (IMD) is a chemotherapeutic agent prescribed for the treatment and control of babesiosis; it is known to be a nucleic acid synthesis inhibitor. Although it is an effective babesicide, there are reports of persistent IMD residues retained at high levels in edible tissues of cattle, swine and sheep, raising concerns about potential ef..

Association of RGA-SSCP markers with resistance to downy mildew and anthracnose in grapevines
Authors: P.A. Tantasawat, O. Poolsawat, T. Prajongjai, W. Chaowiset and A. Tharapreuksapong
Downy mildew (Plasmopara viticola) and anthracnose (Sphaceloma ampelinum) are two major diseases that severely affect most grapevine (Vitis vinifera) cultivars grown commercially in Thailand. Progress of conventional breeding programs of grapevine for improved resistance to these diseases can be speeded up by selection of mole.. Read More»

Molecular cytogenetic identification of a wheat (Triticum aestivum)-American dune grass (Leymus mollis) translocation line resistant to stripe rust
Authors: Y. Bao, J. Wang, F. He, H. Ma and H. Wang
Leymus mollis, a perennial allotetraploid (2n = 4x = 28), known as American dune grass, is a wild relative of wheat that could be useful for cultivar improvement. Shannong0096, developed from interspecific hybridization between common wheat cv. Yannong15 and L. mollis, was analyzed with cytological procedures, genomic in situ .. Read More»

Genetic and molecular mechanisms of aluminum tolerance in plants
Authors: C.C. Sim�µes, J.O. Melo, J.V. Magalhaes and C.T. Guimar�£es
Aluminum (Al) toxicity restricts root growth and agricultural yield in acid soils, which constitute approximately 40% of the potentially arable lands worldwide. The two main mechanisms of Al tolerance in plants are internal detoxification of Al and its exclusion from root cells. Genes encoding membrane transporters and accesso.. Read More»

Construction and functional identification of a hepatitis B virus S protein small hairpin RNA recombinant adenovirus
Authors: S. Wang, Y.Z. Liu, D.D. Qin, C.C. Zou, Y.R. Sheng A.L. Huang and H. Tang
Hepatitis B virus S protein (HBs) plays an important role in hepatocellular carcinoma progression. However, to date, no direct and effective methods exist to research the function of HBs. Here, we combined the technology of RNA interference with recombinant adenovirus, constructed a recombinant adenovirus-expressing small hair.. Read More»

Mendelian inheritance, linkage and genotypic disequilibrium in microsatellite loci isolated from Hymenaea courbaril (Leguminosae)
Authors: F.S. Carneiro, A.E.B. Lacerda, M.R. Lemes, R. Gribel, M. Kanashiro and A.M. Sebbenn
The Neotropical tree Hymenaea courbaril, locally known as Jatobá, is a valuable source of lumber and also produces comestible and medicinal fruit. We characterized Mendelian inheritance, linkage and genotypic disequilibrium at nine microsatellite loci isolated from H. courbaril, in order to determine if they would provi.. Read More»

DNA barcoding of arid wild plants using rbcL gene sequences
Authors: S.O. Bafeel, I.A. Arif, M.A. Bakir, A.A. Al Homaidan, A.H. Al Farhan and H.A. Khan
DNA barcoding is currently gaining popularity due to its simplicity and high accuracy as compared to the complexity and subjective biases associated with morphology-based identification of taxa. The standard chloroplast DNA barcode for land plants recommended by the Consortium for the Barcode of Life (CBOL) plant working group.. Read More»

Effects of beraprost sodium on renal function and inflammatory factors of rats with diabetic nephropathy
Authors: J. Guan, L. Long, Y.-Q. Chen, Y. Yin, L. Li, C.-X. Zhang, L. Deng and L.-H. Tian
Beraprost sodium (BPS) is a prostaglandin analogue. We investigated its effects on rats with diabetic nephropathy. There were 20 rats each in the normal control group (NC), the diabetic nephropathy group (DN), and the BPS treatment group. The rats in DN and BPS groups were given a high-fat diet combined with low-dose streptozo.. Read More»
