Authors: S.R. N�³brega, A.L.F. Coelho, C.F. Verola, I.R. Costa, R. Vila�§a, F.J.F. Luz and W.F. Ara�ºjo
Studies addressing chromosome variations have elucidated many points regarding the taxonomy of the Orchidaceae. Epidendrum L. besides being one the largest orchid genera, present remarkable morphological, and inter- and intraspecific chromosome variations. Thus, based on a previous report on flower color variation in individua.. Read More»

Cadmium accumulation and metallothionein gene expression in the liver of swamp eel (Monopterus albus) collected from the Mae Sot District, Tak Province, Thailand
Authors: M. Wahid, S. Prasarnpun and N. Yimtragool
Cadmium (Cd) is produced mainly as a by-product of zinc mining. In Thailand, the largest zinc mine is located in the Mae Sot district, Tak Province. Samples of Monopterus albus were collected from paddy fields in 4 sites, three downstream and one upstream from the zinc mine. The upstream site was considered to be uncontaminate.. Read More»

Genetic diversity and population structure analysis in Perilla frutescens from Northern areas of China based on simple sequence repeats
Authors: S.J. Ma, K.J. Sa, T.K. Hong and J.K. Lee
In this study, 21 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were used to evaluate the genetic diversity and population structure among 77 Perilla accessions from high-latitude and middle-latitude areas of China. Ninety-five alleles were identified with an average of 4.52 alleles per locus. The average polymorphic information conten.. Read More»

Morphological, cytogenetic, and molecular characterization of Arachis kuhlmannii Krapov. & W.C. Greg. (Leguminosae)
Authors: A.P. F�¡vero, A.P.S. Pe�±aloza, C.R. Lopes and J.F.M. Valls
Arachis kuhlmannii occurs in Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul States, Brazil. Its area of occurrence partially overlaps with that of other species in the Arachis section. Because of their morphological similarities, these species are often mistaken one for another. This study aimed the correct classification of available acc.. Read More»

Genetic effects of in vitro germination and plantlet development in chilli pepper
Authors: P.A. Barroso, M.M. R�ªgo, E.R. R�ªgo and K.T.C. Ferreira
The objective of this study was to estimate the genetic effects on in vitro germination and development of chili peppers. For this, four genotypes (UFPB-132, -134, -137, and -390) were used as parents. They were crossed in a complete diallel scheme. The parents (4) and hybrid (12) seeds were germinated in glass bottles contain.. Read More»

Cloning and functional characterization of the HbSYR1 gene encoding a syntaxin-related protein in Tibetan hulless barley (Hordeum vulgare L. var. nudum HK. f.)
Authors: Q.J. Xu, Y.L. Wang, Z.X. Wei, H.J. Yuan, X.Q. Zeng and N. Tashi
Tibetan barley is a staple food for the natives of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Drought causes a reduction in barley production. In this study, the full-length cDNA of a gene encoding a syntaxin-associated protein was cloned from the leaves of a drought-resistant variety of barley, “Himalaya 10”; its expression was evalu..
