Estimation of genetic parameters and variance components for growth traits in Romosinuano cattle in the Colombian humid tropics
Authors: Sarmiento RM and Garcia JP
(Co)variance components and genetic parameters were estimated for body weights of a Romosinuano herd located in Sinú Valley, Cordoba, Colombia. Restricted maximum likelihood methods were used with a univariate animal model for birth weight, weaning weight (270 days), 16-month weight (480 days), weaning daily gain, and p.. Read More»

Transcriptome analysis of Arabidopsis seedlings responses to high concentrations of glucose
Authors: L. Han, J.L. Li, M. Jin and Y.H. Su
Sugars acting as fuel energy or as signaling molecules play important roles in plant growth and development. Although sugars associated with early seedling development have been analyzed in detail, few studies have examined the effect of sugar on genome-wide gene transcription. To analyze the role of glucose on the genomic level, we examined the response .. Read More»

Study of genetic divergence among wheat genotypes through random amplified polymorphic DNA
Authors: Iqbal A, Khan AS, Khan IA, Awan FS, Ahmad A and Khan AA
The degree of genetic divergence was estimated in seven wheat genotypes, six exotic genotypes and one local variety, through random amplified polymorphic DNA methodology. A total of 112 DNA fragments were generated by the 15 random primers, with an average of about 7.4 bands per primer. Among the 112, 50 fragments showed polym.. Read More»

Microsatellite marker analysis reveals the distinction between the north and south groups of hard clam (Meretrix meretrix) in China
Authors: X.F. Gu, Y.H. Dong, H.H. Yao, X.L. Zhou, X.Y. Qi and Z.H. Lin
Meretrix meretrix is one of the important commercial bivalves in China. A total of 198 individual clams were collected from 5 locations characteristic of the clam’s 5 main natural habitats in China, that is, Shandong, Jiangsu, Fujian, Guangdong, and Guangxi. Ten polymorphic microsatellite markers were selected to examine the genetic diversity and id.. Read More»

Next-generation sequencing identification and characterization of microsatellite markers in Aconitum austrokoreense Koidz., an endemic and endangered medicinal plant of Korea
Authors: Y.-E. Yun, J.-N. Yu, G.H. Nam, S.-A. Ryu, S. Kim, K. Oh and C.E. Lim
We used next-generation sequencing to develop 9 novel microsatellite markers in Aconitum austrokoreense, an endemic and endangered medicinal plant in Korea. Owing to its very limited distribution, over-harvesting for traditional medicinal purposes, and habitat loss, the natural populations are dramatically declining in Korea. All novel microsatellite mark.. Read More»

Transcriptional co-activator PGC-1�± gene is associated with chicken skeletal muscle fiber types..
Authors: J.T. Shu, W.J. Xu, M. Zhang, W.T. Song, Y.J. Shan, C. Song, W.Q. Zhu, X.Y. Zhang and H.F. Li
The peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α) is a candidate gene for meat quality traits because of its prominent role in muscle fiber type switching and determination. We investigated the effects of the PGC-1α gene on chicken skeletal muscle fiber type switching and on othe.. Read More»

Reference genes for quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction studies in soybean plants under hypoxic conditions
Authors: T.J. Nakayama, F.A. Rodrigues, N. Neumaier, F.C. Marcelino-Guimar�£es, J.R.B. Farias, M.C.N. de Oliveira, A. Bor�©m, A.C.B. de Oliveira, B.M. Emygdio and A.L. Nepomuceno
Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) is a powerful tool used to measure gene expression. However, because of its high sensitivity, the method is strongly influenced by the quality and concentration of the template cDNA and by the amplification efficiency. Relative quantifi cation is an effective strategy .. Read More»

Lack of an association between -308G>A polymorphism of the TNF-�± gene and liver cirrhosis risk based on a meta-analysis
Authors: D. Chen, J.L. Liu, Y. Liu, J. Zhu and S.W. Wang
TNF-α is a potential proinflammatory cytokine that plays an important role in the pathogenesis of liver cirrhosis. We investigated a possible association between TNF-α -308G>A polymorphism and liver cirrhosis risk by conducting a meta-analysis. Publications addressing the association between TNF-α -308G>..

Implications of the progeny x environment interaction in selection index involving characteristics of the common bean
Authors: L.K. Lima M.A.P. Ramalho A.F.B. Abreu
Breeders normally select simultaneously for several traits in various environments. We investigated the effects of the progeny x environment interaction on success in selection for several traits. The population used was obtained from a cross between the CVIII-85-11 line, which has a semi-erect to prostrate plant architecture and a cream with brown streak.. Read More»

Associations between polymorphisms of the GFI1B gene and growth traits of indigenous Chinese goats.
Authors: H.F. Cai, Z. Chen and W.X. Luo
This study aimed to investigate polymorphisms of the eighth exon in the GFI1B gene among three indigenous Chinese goat breeds (QianBei Ma goats, GuiZhou white goats, and GuiZhou black goats). Furthermore, association analysis was conducted between these polymorphisms and growth traits. Polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR.. Read More»
