Authors: Z.X. Qiu, Z.S. Sha, X.M. Che and M.Y. Wang
A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 4 (ADAMTS-4) can effectively degrade articular cartilage matrix proteoglycan and damage the intervertebral disc of spinal tuberculosis patients, resulting in deterioration of the physical properties of articular cartilage. Transforming growth factor β activate.. Read More»

Correlation of growth-related traits and their effects on body weight of the mud crab (Scylla paramamosain)
Authors: H.Y. Ma, C.Y. Ma, L.B. Ma, Z. Xu, N.N. Feng and Z.G. Qiao
In this study, we analyzed the correlation of 20 growth-related traits and their effects on body weight of Scylla paramamosain. The correlation coefficients in all trait pairs were significantly high, ranging from 0.551 to 0.999. Among 19 X-Y pairs, the correlation coefficient between traits X1 and Y was the highest, whereas that between X13 and Y was the.. Read More»

Correlation analysis between starch properties and single nucleotide polymorphisms of waxy genes in common rye (Secale cereale L.)
Authors: M. Meng, X. Gao, L.J. Han, X.Y. Li, D. Wu, H.Z. Li and Q.J. Chen
To understand the relationships between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the waxy gene and starch parameters in common rye, we performed sequence characterization, enzyme activity testing, amylopectin/amylose ratio evaluation, starch property testing, and correlation analysis. Specific primers were used to clone waxy .. Read More»

Correlation between interleukin-6 expression in articular cartilage bone and osteoarthritis
Authors: X.Q. Qu1*, W.J. Wang2*, S.S. Tang3, Y. Liu1 and J.L. Wang1
This study aimed to investigate the expressional profile of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in articular cartilage bone of osteoarthritis (OA) patients and its correlation with OA. A total of 30 articular cartilage bone samples from knee OA patients, which were collected by knee arthroscopy or articular surgery, comprised the study group, and 30 samples of normal ar..

Genetic diversity and selection of common bean lines based on technological quality and biofortification
Authors: S. de M. Steckling, N.D. Ribeiro, F.D. Arns, H.C. Mezzomo, M.T.D.F. Possobom
The development of common bean cultivars with high technological quality that are biofortified with minerals, is required to meet the demand for food with health benefits. The objectives of this study were to evaluate whether common bean genotypes differ in terms of technological and mineral biofortification traits, to study t.. Read More»

Desmoglein 4 diversity and correlation analysis with coat color in goat
Authors: G.X. E1, Y.J. Zhao1, Y.H. Ma2, G.L. Cao3, J.N. He4, R.S. Na1, Z.Q. Zhao1,C.D. Jiang1, J.H. Zhang1, S. Arlvd5, L.P. Chen1, X.Y. Qiu1, W. Hu1 and Y.F. Huang1
Desmoglein 4 (DSG4) has an important role in the development of wool traits in domestic animals. The full-length DSG4 gene, which contains 3918 bp, a complete open-reading-frame, and encodes a 1040-amino acid protein, was amplified from Liaoning cashmere goat. The sequence was compared with that of DSG4 from other animals and the results show that the DSG.. Read More»

Descriptive statistics and correlation analysis of agronomic traits in a maize recombinant inbred line population....
Authors: H.M. Zhang, G.Q. Hui, Q. Luo, Y. Sun and X.H. Liu
Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the most important crops in the world. In this study, 13 agronomic traits of a recombinant inbred line population that was derived from the cross between Mo17 and Huangzao4 were investigated in maize: ear diameter, ear length, ear axis diameter, ear weight, plant height, ear height, days to pollen..

Analysis of synonymous codon usage in FAD7 genes from different plant species
Authors: Q.P. Ma, C. Li, J. Wang, Y. Wang and Z.T. Ding
In this study, the codon bias of the FAD7 genes among 10 different plant species was analyzed to identify general patterns of codon usage in the FAD7 genes. Our results showed that U-ended or A-ended codons were preferentially used in FAD7 for dicots, whereas G-ended or C-ended codons were preferentially used in FAD7 for monocots. An ENC-plot showed that .. Read More»

Codon usage bias analysis for the spermidine synthase gene from Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze
Authors: E. You, Y. Wang, Z.T. Ding, X.F. Zhang, L.L. Pan and C. Zheng
The spermidine synthase (SPDS) gene exists widely in all types of plants. In this paper, the codon usage of the SPDS gene from Camellia sinensis (CsSPDS) was analyzed. The results showed that the codon usage of the CsSPDS gene is biased towards the T-ended or A-ended codons, which is similar to that observed in 73 genes selected from the C. sinensis genom..
