Induction of apoptosis in human cervical carcinoma Hela cells with active components of Menispermum dauricum
Authors: J.Y. Wang, S. Sun, L. Liu and W.S. Yang
Menispermum dauricum DC possesses a wide range of pharmacological effects. In this study, the mechanism of apoptosis induced by active components of M. dauricum was investigated in the human cervical carcinoma HeLa cell line. HeLa cells were treated with different M. dauricum concentrations over different time periods. The pro.. Read More»

A new strategy employed for identification of sweet orange cultivars with RAPD markers
Authors: X. Sun, Q. Mu, D. Jiang , C. Wang, X.C. Wang and J.G. Fang
We optimized RAPD techniques by increasing the length of RAPD primers and performing a strict screening of PCR annealing temperature to distinguish 60 sweet orange cultivars from the Research Institute of Pomology at the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences. A new approach called cultivar identification diagram (CID) was used to improve the efficiency.. Read More»

Molecular combing in the analysis of developmentally regulated amplified segments of Bradysia hygida
Authors: K.J.R. Passos, S.Y. Togoro, S. Carignon, S. Koundrioukoff, A.-M. Lachages, M. Debatisse and M.A. Fernandez
Molecular combing technology is an important new tool for the functional and physical mapping of genome segments. It is designed to identify amplifications, microdeletions, and rearrangements in a DNA sequence and to study the process of DNA replication. This technique has recently been used to identify and analyze the dynamics of replication in amplified.. Read More»

Association of cyclin D1 and survivin expression with sensitivity to radiotherapy in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma
Authors: S.M. Fu, M.X. Xu, S.M. Lin, Z. Liang and J.H. Cai
The association between cyclin D1 and survivin protein expressions with radiotherapy sensitivity in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma was investigated. Biopsy specimens of 72 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma were collected before the initiation of radiotherapy (49 cases were in the radiationsensitive group and 23 ca.. Read More»

Molecular characterization of Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis isolated from goats using ERIC-PCR
Authors: E.M.S. Dorneles, J.A. Santana, G.I. Andrade, E.L.S. Santos, A.S. Guimar�£es, R.A. Mota, A.S. Santos, A. Miyoshi, V. Azevedo, A.M.G. Gouveia, A.P. Lage and M.B. Heinemann
Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis, the infectious agent of caseous lymphadenitis (CLA), is responsible for substantial economic losses in goat and sheep production. Molecular characterization of C. pseudotuberculosis isolates by enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus (ERIC)-PCR has shown promising results in genotyping strains isolated from shee..

Population structure and genetic diversity in natural populations of Theobroma speciosum Willd. Ex Spreng (Malvaceae)
Authors: L.D. Giustina, L.N. Luz, F.S. Vieira, F.S. Rossi, C.R.A. Soares-Lopes, T.N.S. Pereira and A.A.B. Rossi
The genus Theobroma found in the Amazon region is composed of 22 species, including Theobroma speciosum, better known as cacauí. These species are constantly threatened by forest fragmentation caused by human activities and require conservation strategies and management aimed at preserving them in their natural environm..

Assessment of genetic diversity of landraces of Dendrocalamus hamiltonii using AFLP markers and association with biochemical traits
Authors: S.D. Waikhom, S. Ghosh, N.C. Talukdar and S.S. Mandi
Fermented bamboo shoots are popular traditional food items of various ethnic groups of the northeastern India, especially in Manipur State. Dendrocalamus hamiltonii is an economically important bamboo species used to produce fermented bamboo shoots. We studied genetic variability of this bamboo species in Chandel and Imphal-East (commercial production dis.. Read More»

DNA barcoding based on plastid matK and RNA polymerase for assessing the genetic identity of date (Phoenix dactylifera L.) cultivars
Authors: M.R. Enan and A. Ahmed
The cultivated date palm is the most agriculturally important species of the Arecaceae family. The standard chloroplast DNA barcode for land plants recommended by the Consortium for the Barcode of Life plant working group needs to be evaluated for a wide range of plant species. Therefore, we assessed the potential of the matK .. Read More»

Association of the CD36 gene with impaired glucose tolerance, impaired fasting glucose, type-2 diabetes, and lipid metabolism in essential hypertensive patients
Authors: Y. Wang, X.O. Zhou, Y. Zhang, P.J. Gao and D.L. Zhu
Essential hypertension is a common disorder that can increase the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D). CD36 has been studied in patients with diabetes and hypertension extensively; however, few studies have focused on the relationship of the CD36 gene with impaired fasting glucose (IFG)/impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or T2D in essential hypertension patients...
