Androgen receptor gene CAG repeat polymorphism and risk of isolated hypospadias: results from a meta-analysis
Authors: G. Huang, W. Shan, L. Zeng and L. Huang
Studies investigating the association between the CAG repeat polymorphism and the risk of isolated hypospadias have reported conflicting results. The aim of this study was to quantitatively summarize the evidence for such a relationship. Two investigators independently searched the Medline, Embase, CNKI, and Wanfang databases. Weighted mean difference and.. Read More»

Assessing wheat (Triticum aestivum) genotypes for â??Yrâ? resistance genes using conserved regions and simple-sequence motifs
Authors: E. Cabuk, Y. Aydin and A.A. Uncuoglu
Analysis of DNA sequence variation among genotypes is useful for differentiation of wheat accessions, selection strategies and genetic development of crop plants. We screened molecular markers for yellow rust resistance genes (Yr7, Yr9, Yr15, Yr18, Yr26, and YrH52), which are in the gene-rich regions of wheat chromosomes 1B, 2.. Read More»

Gene expression, serum amino acid levels, and growth performance of pigs fed dietary leucine and lysine at different ratios
Authors: H. Garc?a, A. Morales, A. Araiza, J.K. Htoo and M. Cervantes
We examined 96 pigs (28.1 ± 0.83 kg) to analyze the effect of Leu:Lys ratios on expression of the cationic amino acid transporters b0,+ and CAT-1 in the jejunum and liver as well as myosin expression in 2 muscles to estimate the optimum standardized ileal digestible (SID) Leu:Lys ratio for growth rate and efficiency. A wheat-and wheat bran-based di.. Read More»

Genetic variability in wild genotypes of Passiflora cincinnata based on RAPD markers
Authors: C.B.M. Cerqueira-Silva, L.D.H.C.S. Concei?§?£o, E.S.L. Santos, C.B. Cardoso-Silva, A.S. Pereira, A.C. Oliveira and R.X. Corr?ªa
The genetic diversity and characteristics of commercial interest of Passiflora species make it useful to characterize wild germplasm, because of their potential use for fruit, ornamental and medicinal purposes. We evaluated genetic diversity, using RAPD markers, of 32 genotypes of Passiflora cincinnata collected from the wild .. Read More»

Detection of genetically modified maize and soybean in feed samples
Authors: S. Meri?§, ??. ??ak?±r, N. Turgut-Kara and ??. Ar?±1,
Despite the controversy about genetically modified (GM) plants, they are still incrementally cultivated. In recent years, many food and feed products produced by genetic engineering technology have appeared on store shelves. Controlling the production and legal presentation of GM crops are very important for the environment an.. Read More»

Genetic diversity among Zygophyllum (Zygophyllaceae) populations based on RAPD analysis
Authors: I. Hammad and S.H. Qari
Zygophyllum species are succulent plants that are drought resistant and/or salt tolerant, growing under severe, dry climatic conditions. Despite their importance and abundance in the Mediterranean and Middle East regions, there is little information concerning molecular variations among species of this genus. Genetic diversity..

Genome elimination during microsporogenesis in two pentaploid accessions of Brachiaria decumbens (Poaceae)
Authors: G.C.L. Ricci, M.S. Pagliarini and C.B. Valle
Polyploidy is a prominent and significant force in plant evolution, taking place since ancient times and continuing until today. Recent cytogenetic studies in the genus Brachiaria using germplasm collected from wild African savannas in the 1980s revealed that most species and accessions within species are polyploid. Diploid, t.. Read More»

High degree of genetic diversity among genotypes of the forage grass Brachiaria ruziziensis (Poaceae) detected with ISSR markers
Authors: A.L.S. Azevedo, P.P. Costa, M.A. Machado, C.M.P. de Paula and F.S. Sobrinho
The grasses of the genus Brachiaria account for 80% of the cultivated pastures in Brazil. Despite its importance for livestock production, little information is available for breeding purposes. Embrapa has a population of B. ruziziensis from different regions of Brazil, representing most of existing variability. This populatio.. Read More»

Association of CYP2C19*3 gene polymorphism with breast cancer in Chinese women
Authors: C.Q. Gan, X.Y. Wang, Y.D. Cao, W.X. Ye, H. Liu and Y.Y. Sun
Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C19 metabolizes arachidonic acid to biologically active epoxyeicosatrienoic acids, which significantly promote proliferation of cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. We looked for a possible association between human CYP2C19*3 gene polymorphism and breast cancer in the Chinese Han population. In a Chinese H.. Read More»

Correlation between liver cancer occurrence and gene expression profiles in rat liver tissue
Authors: C.S. Xu, G.P. Wang, L.X. Zhang, C.F. Chang, J. Zhi and Y.P. Hao
Liver cancer (LC) is generally characterized by malignant cell proliferation and growth; it normally develops in stages that progress from non-specific injury of the liver to liver fibrosis, liver cirrhosis, dysplasia nodules, and liver carcinoma. We used a rat model of diethylnitrosamine (DENA)-induced LC; a Rat Genome 230 2... Read More»
