Evaluation of genetic diversity in Piper spp using RAPD and SRAP markers
Authors: Y. Jiang and J.-P. Liu
Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) analysis were applied to 74 individual plants of Piper spp in Hainan Island. The results showed that the SRAP technique may be more informative and more efficient and effective for studying genetic diversity of Piper spp than the RAPD te.. Read More»

Molecular and chromosomal mutations among children with B-lineage lymphoblastic leukemia in Brazilâ??s Federal District
Authors: D.R. Mesquita J.C. C?³rdoba ?.Q. Magalh?£es M.S. C?³rdoba J.R.C. Oliveira A. Gon?§alves I. Ferrari C. Martins-de-S?¡
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) accounts for approximately 80% of all acute leukemias during childhood. Chromosomal anomalies resulting from gene fusion, which are frequent in leukemias, create hybrid transcripts, the great majority of which encode transcription factors. We analyzed 88 pediatric patients (median age 7.3 yea.. Read More»

Effect of forest fragmentation on microsporogenesis and pollen viability in Eugenia uniflora, a tree native to the Atlantic Forest
Authors: Effect of forest fragmentation on microsporogenesis and pollen viability in Eugenia uniflora, a tree native to the Atlantic Forest
Habitat fragmentation, caused by the expansion of agriculture in natural areas, may be one of the strongest impacts humans have on the ecosystem. These changes can decrease the number of individuals in a population, leading to endogamy. In allogamous species, endogamy can have a negative effect on reproductive capacity. In this study, we analyzed the effe.. Read More»

Molecular evolutionary analysis of the high-affinity K+ transporter gene family in angiosperms
Authors: P. Yang, C. Hua, F. Zhou, B.-J. Zhang, X-N. Cai, Q.-Z. Chen and R.-L. Wang
The high-affinity K+ transporter (HKT) family comprises a group of multifunctional cation transporters widely distributed in organisms ranging from Bacteria to Eukarya. In angiosperms, the HKT family consists primarily of nine types, whose evolutionary relationships are not fully understood. The available sequences from 31 plant species were used to perfo..

Expression analysis of dihydroflavonol 4-reductase genes in Petunia hybrida
Authors: Y.X. Chu, H.R. Chen, A.Z. Wu, R. Cai and J.S. Pan
Dihydroflavonol 4-reductase (DFR) genes from Rosa chinensis (Asn type) and Calibrachoa hybrida (Asp type), driven by a CaMV 35S promoter, were integrated into the petunia (Petunia hybrida) cultivar 9702. Exogenous DFR gene expression characteristics were similar to flower-color changes, and effects on anthocyanin concentration were observed in both types .. Read More»

Meta-analysis of the relationship between the LOC387715/ARMS2 polymorphism and polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy
Authors: J.J. Jiang X. Wu P. Zhou W.Z. Yu L.Z. Huang X.X. Li
We investigated the association between the LOC387715/ARMS2 polymorphism (rs10490924 G>T) and susceptibility to polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) through a meta-analysis of 1446 cases and 3255 controls from eight case-control studies. The genetic effect of the LOC387715/ARMS2 rs10490924 G>T polymorphism on PCV was assessed by calculating pooled odds ra.. Read More»

Assessment of genetic diversity and variation of Robinia pseudoacacia seeds induced by short-term spaceflight based on two molecular marker systems and morphological traits
Authors: C.Q. Yuan Y.F. Li P. Sun Y.H. Sun G.J. Zhang M.S. Yang Y.Y. Zhang Y. Li L. Wang
The black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) is a forest legume that is highly valued as a honey plant and for its wood. We explored the effect of short-term spaceflight on development of R. pseudoacacia seedlings derived from seeds that endured a 15-day flight; the genetic diversity and variation of plants sampled from space-mutagenized seeds were compared to pl..

Karyotype and spermatogenesis in Triatoma lenti (Hemiptera: Triatominae), a potential Chagas vector
Authors: K.C.C. Alevi P.P. Mendon?§a M. Succi N.P. Pereira J.A. Rosa M.T.V. Azeredo-Oliveira
All species of Triatominae are susceptible to infection by Trypanosoma cruzi (Kinetoplastida: Trypanosomatidae) and consequently, potential insect vectors of Chagas disease. Currently, there are 140 known species of triatomine bugs, which can be grouped into specific species complexes. The species Triatoma lenti (Hemiptera: Triatominae) is found only in B.. Read More»

Association between the WRAP53 gene rs2287499 C>G polymorphism and cancer risk: A meta-analysis
Authors: H.Y. Cao, S. Wang, Z.Y. Zhang and J.Y. Lou
The TP53 5'-untranslated region flanking the gene WRAP53 (also known as WDR79 and TCAB1) has been hypothesized to be associated with cancer risk due to its critical function in regulating p53 levels. In this review, we analyzed the association between the WRAP53 gene rs2287499 C>G polymorphism and risk of cancer using five case-control studies, compris.. Read More»
