Authors: L.F. Brito, F.G. Silva, A.L.P. Melo, G.C. Caetano, R.A. Torres, M.T. Rodrigues and G.R.O. Menezes
Data from 1279 lactations of 783 Alpine and Saanen goats of the herd of our university in Minas Gerais, Brazil, were used to study environmental effects on and to estimate genetic parameters for milk production until 270 days of lactation (MP270) and for production and percentages of fat (PFAT and %FAT), protein (PPROT and %PR..

Comparison of methods for estimates of molecular genetic diversity in genus Croton: influence of coefficients, clustering strategies and data projection
Authors: M.M. Scaldaferri, J.S. Freitas, J.G.P. Vieira, Z.S. Gon�§alves, A.M. Souza and C.B.M. Cerqueira-Silva
We investigated 10 similarity (and disimilarity) coefficients in a set of 40 wild genotypes of Croton linearifolius subjected to analyses using hierarchical grouping methods, grouping methods by optimization and data projection in two-dimensional space. Genotypes were characterized by analyzing DNA polymorphism with t.. Read More»

Key pathways involved in prostate cancer based on gene set enrichment analysis and meta analysis
Authors: Q.Y. Ning, J.Z. Wu, N. Zang, J. Liang, Y.L. Hu and Z.N. Mo
Prostate cancer is one of the most common male malignant neoplasms; however, its causes are not completely understood. A few recent studies have used gene expression profiling of prostate cancer to identify differentially expressed genes and possible relevant pathways. However, few studies have examined the genetic mechanics o.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of nucleotide-binding site and C-terminal leucine-rich repeat-resistance gene candidates in bananas
Authors: Isolation and characterization of nucleotide-binding site and C-terminal leucine-rich repeat-resistance gene candidates in bananas
Commercial banana varieties are highly susceptible to fungal pathogens, as well as bacterial pathogens, nematodes, viruses, and insect pests. The largest known family of plant resistance genes encodes proteins with nucleotide-binding site (NBS) and C-terminal leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domains. Conserved motifs in such genes in.. Read More»

Effects of phenylalanine on reproductive performance and teratogenesis in mice
Authors: R.J. Oliveira, J.R. Pesarini, M.O. Mauro, L.S. Fronza, S.G. Victorelli, W.B. Cantero, M.C. Sena and A.C.M.B. Antoniolli
We evaluated the effects of phenylalanine on reproductive performance and teratogenesis in mice, as well as we assessed its protective effect in mice treated with an acute dose of cyclophosphamide. Animals were divided into 6 experimental groups (females N = 15/group, males N = 5/group): G1, the negative control group, phospha.. Read More»

Identification of complete linkage disequilibrium in the DSG4 gene and its association with wool length and crimp in Chinese indigenous sheep
Authors: Y.H. Ling, H. Xiang, G. Zhang, J.P. Ding, Z.J. Zhang, Y.H. Zhang, J.L. Han, Y.H. Ma and X.R. Zhang
The desmoglein 4 (DSG4) gene is a potential candidate in the search for genes that may affect wool traits, because of its function. This study aimed to screen for polymorphisms in partial exon 16 and 3êÂ?Â?UTR of the sheep desmoglein 4 DSG4 gene, and to test its possible association with wool length.. Read More»

Genetic diversity analysis of tree peony germplasm using iPBS markers
Authors: Y.B. Duan, D.L. Guo, L.L. Guo, D.F. Wei and X.G. Hou
We examined the genetic diversity of 10 wild species (populations) and 55 varieties of tree peony using inter-primer binding site (iPBS) markers. From a total of 36 iPBS primers, 16 were selected based on polymorphic amplification. The number of bands amplified by each primer ranged from 9 to 19, with an average of 12.88 bands per primer. The length of ba.. Read More»

Authors: T.L.P.O. Souza, S.N. Dessaune, M.A. Moreira and E.G. Barros
Soybean rust (SBR), caused by the fungus Phakopsora pachyrhizi, has been reported in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cultivars and elite lines that were infected under controlled and natural field conditions in South Africa, the United States, Argentina, and Brazil. Although SBR is currently not a top pri.. Read More»
