Stolf-Moreira, M.A. Beneventi, A.A.P. Rolla, N. Neumaier, K. Yamaguchi-Shinozaki, J.F.C. Carvalho and A.L. Nepomuceno
We evaluated the molecular, anatomical and physiological properties of a soybean line transformed to improve drought tolerance with an rd29A:AtDREB1A construct. This construct expressed dehydration- responsive element binding protein DREB1A from the stress-inducible rd29A promoter. The greenhouse growth test included four rand.. Read More»

Transcription factors expressed in soybean roots under drought stress

To gain insight into stress-responsive gene regulation in soybean plants, we identified consensus sequences that could categorize the transcription factors MYBJ7, BZIP50, C2H2, and NAC2 as members of the gene families myb, bzip, c2h2, and nac, respectively. We also investigated the evolutionary relationship of these transcript.. Read More»

Association of -619C/T polymorphism in CDSN gene and psoriasis risk: a meta-analysis
Authors: Y. Wu, B. Wang, J.L. Liu, X.H. Gao, H.D. Chen and Y.H. Li
Previous studies investigating the association between corneodesmosin (CDSN) polymorphisms and psoriasis risk have provided inconsistent results. The aim of our study was to clarify the effects of CDSN -619C/T polymorphism on psoriasis risk by conducting a meta-analysis. We conducted searches of the published literature in Pub.. Read More»

Meta-analysis of an association of codon 72 polymorphisms of the p53 gene with increased endometrial cancer risk
Authors: Y. Gu, X. Zhou and S.L. Zhang
Polymorphisms of the p53 gene have been associated with susceptibility to endometrial cancer. However, whether there is a specific association is still controversial. We investigated a possible association between p53 codon 72 polymorphism and endometrial cancer risk by conducting a meta-analysis. Publications addressing this .. Read More»

Molecular evolution of two consecutive carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase genes in strigolactone biosynthesis in plants
Authors: R.K. Wang, J.J. Lu, G.N. Xing, J.Y. Gai and T.J. Zhao
Strigolactones are newly discovered plant hormones that perform various functions, from signaling in symbiotic interactions with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi to controlling outgrowth of axillary buds. We examined the phylogenetic relationships of two carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase genes (CCD7 and CCD8) that are involved in co.. Read More»

Combining P values to improve classification of differential gene expression in the HTself software
Authors: D.A. Cortez, A.P. Tonon, P. Colepicolo and R.Z.N. V�ªncio
HTself is a web-based bioinformatics tool designed to deal with the classification of differential gene expression in low replication microarray studies. It is based on a statistical test that uses self-self experiments to derive intensity-dependent cutoffs. We developed an extension of HTself, originally released in 2005, by .. Read More»

Genetic diversity of sea-island cotton (Gossypium barbadense) revealed by mapped SSRs
Authors: X.Q. Wang, C.H. Feng, Z.X. Lin and X.L. Zhang
In order to evaluate the genetic diversity of sea-island cotton (Gossypium barbadense), 237 commonly mapped SSR markers covering the cotton genome were used to genotype 56 sea-island cotton accessions. A total of 218 polymorphic primer pairs (91.98%) amplified 361 loci, with a mean of 1.66 loci. Polymorphism information conten.. Read More»

Cross-amplification and characterization of microsatellite loci in Acropora austera from the south-western Indian Ocean
Authors: P.H. Montoya-Maya, A.H.H. Macdonald and M.H. Schleyer
Here, we report the successful cross-species amplification of previously published acroporid microsatellite markers in the coral Acropora austera from the south-western Indian Ocean. This fast-growing species is a major reef-building coral on South African reefs; however, it is the most damaged coral by scuba diving activity, .. Read More»

Tetraploidization in Wilms tumor in an infant
Authors: E.T. Valera*, M.S. Brassesco*, C.A. Scrideli and L.G. Tone
Genetic instability is frequent in human cancer. Unscheduled tetraploidization can trigger cell transformation and tumorigenesis. We made a cytogenetic analysis by Giemsa-trypsin banding of a stage I, biphasic Wilms tumor diagnosed in a 10-month-old male. An evident karyotypic heterogeneity was found. Four different subclones .. Read More»

Genetic diversity of eggplant (Solanum melongena) germplasm from Turkey assessed by SSR and RAPD markers
Authors: K. Demir, M. Bak�±r, G. Sar�±kam�±�� and S. Acunalp
Eggplant is a major crop in Turkey, which produces more of this crop than all of Europe; consequently, germplasm resources are of concern for the country. Molecular characterization of eggplant genotypes collected from different geographical regions of Turkey was carried out using SSR and RAPD markers. With amplification of fi.. Read More»
