Authors: M.A.A. Silva, M.M. Souza, G.S. Silva, C.A.F. Melo, R.X. Corr�ªa, I.S. Ara�ºjo and L.D.H.C.S. Concei�§�£o
The genus Passiflora L. is the most representative of Passifloraceae, with over 500 known species, among which 150-200 originated from Brazil. In addition to the great commercial importance of this genus for the fruit market, many of the species have exotic flowers with a huge diversity of colors and can thereby be ex.. Read More»

Comparative analysis of human masculinity
Authors: B.K. Bhowmick, N. Takahata, M. Watanabe and Y. Satta
To study rapidly evolving male specific Y (MSY) genes we retrieved and analyzed nine such genes. VCY, HSFY and RBMY were found to have functional X gametologs, but the rest did not. Using chimpanzee orthologs for XKRY, CDY, HSFY, PRY, and TSPY, the average silent substitution is estimated as 0.017 ± 0.006/site and the s.. Read More»

The Candida albicans AAA ATPase homologue of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Rix7p (YLL034c) is essential for proper morphology, biofilm formation and activity of secreted aspartyl proteinases
Authors: A.S.A. Melo, A.C.B. Padovan, R.C. Serafim, L. Puzer, A.K. Carmona, L. Juliano Neto, A. Brunstein and M.R.S. Briones
Proper morphology is essential for the ability of Candida albicans to switch between yeast and hyphae and thereby sustain its virulence. Here we identified, by differential screening, a novel C. albicans AAA ATPase encoding gene, CaYLL34 (RIX7), with enhanced expression in hyphae. Phylogenetic analysis suggests that CaYLL34 be..

Variation and genetic structure of Tunisian Festuca arundinacea populations based on inter-simple sequence repeat pattern
Authors: N. Chtourou-Ghorbel, H. Elazreg, S. Ghariani, N. Ben Mheni, M. Sekmani, M. Chakroun and N. Trifi-Farah
Tunisian tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) is an important grass for forages or soil conservation, particularly in marginal sites. Inter-simple sequence repeats were used to estimate genetic diversity within and among 8 natural populations and 1 cultivar from Northern Tunisia. A total of 181 polymorphic inter-simple sequence repeat markers were ge.. Read More»

Localization and expression of histone H2A variants during mouse oogenesis and preimplantation embryo development
Authors: B.J. Wu, F.L. Dong, X.S. Ma, X.G. Wang, F. Lin and H.L. Liu
Epigenetic modifications of the genome, such as histone H2A variants, ensure appropriate gene activation or silencing during oogenesis and preimplantation embryo development. We examined global localization and expression of the histone H2A variants, including H2A.Bbd, H2A.Z and H2A.X, during mouse oogenesis and preimplantatio.. Read More»

Effect of Jianpi Bushen prescription on the expression of SHP-1 and apoptosis-related genes in chemically damaged model mice
Authors: D.C. He, J.J. Xiao*, Y. Zhang, H. Lin, X.J. Ding and Y. Tu
We investigated the effect of Jianpi Bushen prescription (JBP) on the expression of the SHP-1 and apoptosis-related genes in chemically damaged model mice and a compound e-jiao slurry (EJS) group (positive control). Kunming mice received an abdominal injection of 100 mg/kg cyclophosphamide once a day for 3 consecutive days to .. Read More»

Genome-wide identification, phylogenetic relationships, and expression analysis of the carotenoid cleavage oxygenase gene family in pepper
Authors: X.H. Zhang, H.Q. Liu, Q.W. Guo, C.F. Zheng, C.S. Li, X.M. Xiang, D.F. Zhao, J. Liu, J. Luo, D.K. Zhao, J.Q. Zheng and H.J. Wan
Carotenoid cleavage oxygenases (CCOs) are a family of dioxygenases, which specifically catalyze the cleavage of conjugated double bonds in carotenoids and apocarotenoids in plants. In this study, genome-wide analysis of CCO genes in pepper plants was performed using bioinformatic methods. At least 11 members of the CCO gene fa.. Read More»

Genetic diversity and population structure in Harpadon nehereus based on sequence-related amplified polymorphism markers
Authors: Z.H. Zhu, H.Y. Li*, Y. Qin and R.X. Wang
In this study, the genetic diversity among ten populations of the Bombay duck was studied on the basis of sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP). The ten populations were collected from the East China Sea and South China Sea areas. A total of 98 loci were obtained from 292 individuals using eight SRAP primers. The aver.. Read More»

Molecular characterization and functional analysis of a Flowering locus T homolog gene from a Phalaenopsis orchid
Authors: D.M. Li, F.B. LÃ?Â?, G.F. Zhu, Y.B. Sun, H.L. Liu, J.W. Liu and Z. Wang
Warm day and cool night conditions significantly induce reproductive spike formation in Phalaenopsis plants; hence, determining the flowering mechanism regulating the reproductive transition is important. Flowering locus T (FT) plays important roles in flowering induction in several plants. To explore spike i.. Read More»

Congenital bilateral anorchia: hormonal, molecular and imaging study of a case
Authors: I. Rousso, D. Iliopoulos, F. Athanasiadou, L. Zavopoulou, G. Vassiliou and N. Voyiatzis
The aetiology of congenital bilateral anorchia is unknown. For many years there was speculation of an association between genetic factors and anorchia. We performed different tests in an anorchid boy, 2.5 years old, presented to us with micropenis and absence of both testes, in order to determine any possible factors contribut.. Read More»
