Genome-wide identification, classification, and analysis of two-component signal system genes in maize
Authors: Z.X. Chu, Q. Ma, Y.X. Lin, X.L. Tang, Y.Q. Zhou, S.W. Zhu, J. Fan and B.J. Cheng
Cytokinins play many vital roles in plant development and physiology. In plants, cytokinin signals are sensed and transduced by the two-component signal system. This signaling cascade is typically composed of three proteins: a sensory histidine kinase, a histidine phosphotransfer protein, and a response regulator. Through a co.. Read More»

An investigation of the relationship between serotonin transporter gene promoter polymorphism and psoriasis susceptibility in a Thai population
Authors: T. Tencomnao and J. Wongpiyabovorn
The serotonin transporter (5-HTT) is of great significance in the control of the serotonergic system, and its expression is known to be upregulated in psoriasis, a chronic or recurrent inflammatory skin disease. We investigated a possible association between the 5-HTT gene-linked polymorphic region (5-HTTLPR) and psoriasis in .. Read More»

Introgression of genes for cotton leaf curl virus resistance and increased fiber strength from Gossypium stocksii into upland cotton (G. hirsutum)
Authors: W. Nazeer, S. Ahmad, K. Mahmood, A.L. Tipu, A. Mahmood, B. Zhou
Cotton leaf curl virus disease is a major hurdle for successful cotton production in Pakistan. There has been considerable economic loss due to this disease during the last decade. It would be desirable to have cotton varieties resistant to this disease. We explored the possibility of transferring virus resistant genes from th.. Read More»

Prevalence of CCR5-Ã?Â?32 and CCR2-V64I polymorphisms in a mixed population from northeastern Brazil
Authors: H. Ferreira-Fernandes, A.C.C. Santos, F.J.N. Motta, R. Canalle, F.K.N. Yoshioka, R.R. Burbano, J.A. Rey, B.B. da Silva and G.R. Pinto
Chemokines are low-molecular weight proteins that play a key role in inflammatory processes. Genomic variations in chemokine receptors are associated with the susceptibility to various diseases. Polymorphisms in chemokine receptor type 5 (CCR5)-Δ32 and CCR2-V64I are related to human immunodeficiency virus infection resis.. Read More»

A new inducible expression system in a transformed green alga, Chlorella vulgaris
Authors: Y.F. Niu, M.H. Zhang, W.H. Xie, J.N. Li, Y.F. Gao, W.D. Yang, J.S. Liu and H.Y. Li
Genetic transformation is useful for basic research and applied biotechnology. However, genetic transformation of microalgae is usually quite difficult due to the technical limitations of existing methods. We cloned the promoter and terminator of the nitrate reductase gene from the microalga Phaeodactylum tricornutum and used .. Read More»

Diversity of pea (Pisum sativum) accessions based on morphological data for sustainable field pea breeding in Argentina
Authors: I. Gatti, M.A. Esp�³sito, P. Almir�³n, V.P. Cravero and E.L. Cointry
We characterized 13 accessions of dry peas of different origins from various growing regions in Argentina, based on three replications of 20 plants cultivated in 2009 and 2010 in a greenhouse, with the objective of selecting those with favorable characteristics for use in breeding programs. Significant differences were found f.. Read More»

Identification of neutral genes at pollen sterility loci Sd and Se of cultivated rice (Oryza sativa) with wild rice (O. rufipogon) origin
Authors: B. Liu, J.Q. Li, X.D. Liu, M.Q. Shahid, L.G. Shi and Y.G. Lu
Pollen sterility is one of the main hindrances against the utilization of strong intersubspecific (indica-japonica) heterosis in rice. We looked for neutral alleles at known pollen sterility loci Sd and Se that could overcome this pollen sterility characteristic. Taichung 65, a typical japonica cultivar, and its near isogenic ..

Heterozygosities and genetic relationship of tea cultivars revealed by simple sequence repeat markers and implications for breeding and genetic mapping programs
Authors: L.Q. Tan, C.C. Zhang, G.N. Qi, L.Y. Wang, K. Wei, S.X. Chen1,Y. Zou, L.Y. Wu and H. Cheng
Genetic maps are essential tools for quantitative trait locus analysis and marker-assisted selection breeding. In order to select parents that are highly heterozygous for genetic mapping, the heterozygosity (HS) of 24 tea cultivars (Camellia sinensis) was analyzed with 72 simple sequence repeat markers. In total, 359 alleles were obtained with an average of .. Read More»

Molecular mapping of genes for opposite leafing in maize using simple-sequence repeat markers
Authors: Y.Q. Tan, C.X. Xie, H.Y. Jiang, H. Ye, Y. Xiang, S.W. Zhu and B.J. Cheng
Maize with opposite phyllotaxy (OP) and also initiating ears in opposite pairs is an aberrant mutant and also precious material for maize breeding and plant evolution studies. Mapping and identifying the markers closely linked to genes for the OP trait are essential for cloning the gene and marker-assisted selection in breedin.. Read More»

DNA genetic artificial fish swarm constant modulus blind equalization algorithm and its application in medical image processing
Authors: Y.C. Guo, H. Wang and B.L. Zhang
This study proposes use of the DNA genetic artificial fish swarm constant modulus blind equalization algorithm (DNA-G-AFS-CMBEA) to overcome the local convergence of the CMBEA. In this proposed algorithm, after the fusion of the fast convergence of the AFS algorithm and the global search capability of the DNA-G algorithm to dr.. Read More»
