Fructus polygoni orentalis extract inhibited liver regeneration and proliferation of bone marrow cells of rat after partial hepatectomy
Authors: J.Y. Yang, J.S. Wang and H.B. Liu
To study the effect of fructus polygoni orentalis extract (EFPO) on liver regeneration and proliferation of bone marrow cells on rat model of partial hepatectomy, EFPO was extracted, and 60 adult male Wistar rats were divided randomly into 6 experimental groups. Rats were treated with intergastric administration (ig) with EFPO daily. All rats were euthani.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of microsatellite markers for Dendranthema morifolium (Asteraceae) using next-generation sequencing
Authors: W.J. Yuan, S. Ye, L.-H. Du, S.-M. Li, X. Miao and F.-D. Shang
Dendranthema morifolium (Asteraceae) is a perennial herbaceous plant native to China. A long history of artificial crossings may have resulted in complex genetic background and decreased genetic diversity. To protect the genetic diversity of D. morifolium and enabling breeding of new D. morifolium cultivars, we developed a set.. Read More»

Phenotypic and genetic correlations for body structure scores (frame) with productive traits and index for CEIP classification in Nellore beef cattle
Authors: Horimoto ARVR, Ferraz JBS, Balieiro JCC and Eler JP
The present study was carried out to estimate both (co)variance components and genetic parameters for frame scores obtained using two methods (FRAME_GMA and FRAME_BIF) as well as phenotypic and genetic correlations with traits such as weaning weight, weight gain from weaning to yearling, scrotal circumference, muscle score, an..

Comparison and analysis of Wuding and avian chicken skeletal muscle satellite cells
Authors: H.Q. Tong, Z.Q. Jiang, T.F. Dou, Q.H. Li, Z.Q. Xu, L.X. Liu,D.H. Gu, H. Rong, Y. Huang, X.B. Chen, M. Jois, M.F.W. te Pas, C.R. Ge and J.J. Jia
Chicken skeletal muscle satellite cells are located between the basement membrane and the sarcolemma of mature muscle fibers. Avian broilers have been genetically selected based on their high growth velocity and large muscle mass. The Wuding chicken is a famous local chicken in Yunnan Province that undergoes non-selection bree.. Read More»

Evaluation of DNA polymorphisms involving growth hormone relative to growth and carcass characteristics in Brahman steers
Authors: V.R. Beauchemin, M.G. Thomas, D.E. Franke2 and G.A. Silver
Associations of DNA polymorphisms in growth hormone (GH) relative to growth and carcass characteristics in growing Brahman steers (N = 324 from 68 sires) were evaluated. Polymorphisms were an Msp-I RFLP and a leucine/valine SNP in the GH gene as well as a Hinf-I RFLP and a histidine/arginine SNP in transcriptional regulators o.. Read More»

Genetic mapping of Theobroma cacao (Malvaceae) seedlings of the Parinari series, carriers of the lethal gene Luteus-Pa
Authors: B.C. Rehem, A.-A.F. Almeida, R.X. Corr�ªa, A.S. Gesteira, M.M. Yamada and R.R. Valle
The lethal gene ‘Luteus-Pa’ is found in cacao genotypes (Theobroma cacao) of the Parinari (Pa) series, from Peru. Seedlings affected by this gene have yellowing leaves and subsequently die. We mapped this gene based on microsatellite markers and RAPDs, in order to elucidate the inheritance of ‘Luteus-Pa&rsquo.. Read More»

Analysis of the genetic divergence of soybean lines through hierarchical and Tocher optimization methods
Authors: D.A.V. Cantelli, O.T. Hamawaki, M.R. Rocha, A.P.O. Nogueira, R.L. Hamawaki, L.B. Sousa, C.D.L. Hamawaki
This study aimed to evaluate the clustering pattern consistency of soybean (Glycine max) lines, using seven different clustering methods. Our aim was to evaluate the best method for the identification of promising genotypes to obtain segregating populations. We used 51 generations F5 and F6 soybean lines originating from diffe..

Eight polymorphic microsatellite markers for the spotted babylon, Babylonia areolata (Buccinidae)
Authors: Y. Wang, H. Lu, J. Zheng, K. Long, Y.H. Shi, Z.F. Gu and A.M. Wang
The spotted babylon, Babylonia areolata, is one of the most extensively cultured marine mollusks in southeast Asia. Eight polymorphic microsatellite markers were developed for this species, from a microsatellite-enriched library. These markers, characterized in 32 individuals from a hatchery population, were polymorphic, with .. Read More»

Association of BoLA-DRB3.2 alleles with tick (Boophilus microplus) resistance in cattle
Authors: M.L. Martinez, M.A. Machado, C.S. Nascimento, M.V.G.B. Silva, R.L. Teodoro, J. Furlong, M.C.A. Prata, A.L. Campos, M.F.M. Guimar�£es, A.L.S. Azevedo, M.F.A. Pires and R.S. Verneque
Losses caused by bovine tick burdens in tropical countries have a tremendous economic impact on production systems. Besides reducing production, this parasite can cause death in the most susceptible animals. The use of commercial acaricides has been the major method of control, but their misuse has led to tick resistance to ma.. Read More»

Molecular differentiation in natural populations of Anopheles oswaldoi sensu lato (Diptera: Culicidae) from the Brazilian Amazon, using sequences of the COI gene from mitochondrial DNA
Authors: V.M. Scarpassa and J.E. Conn
Anopheles (Nyssorhynchus) oswaldoi (Peryassú, 1922) s. l., which has been incriminated as a potential human malaria vector in Western Brazilian Amazon, may constitute a cryptic species complex. However, the most recent study with isozymes indicated high similarity among samples from the States of Acre, Amazonas and Rond.. Read More»
