Differential interactions between Curtobacterium flaccumfaciens pv. flaccumfaciens and common bean
Authors: S.C.D. Valdo, A. Wendland, L.G. Ara�ºjo, L.C. Melo, H.S. Pereira, P.G. Melo and L.C. Faria
Bacterial wilt of common bean caused by Curtobacterium flaccumfaciens pv. flaccumfaciens is an important disease in terms of economic importance. It reduces grain yield by colonizing xylem vessels, subsequently impeding the translocation of water and nutrients to the superior plant parts. The existence of physiological races i.. Read More»

Effect of fragmentation on the natural genetic diversity of Theobroma speciosum Willd. ex Spreng. populations
Authors: T.L. Varella, A.A.B. Rossi, J.F.E. Dardengo, G.F. Silveira, M.D.A. Souza and M.L.S. Carvalho
t fragmentation reduces the effective size of natural populations, isolates individuals in the landscape, and, consequently, changes species’ mating systems by increasing the degree of relatedness between individuals and inbreeding. Investigating the impact of habitat degradation on forest fragments helps to assess the g.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of Aquilegia (Ranunculaceae) species and cultivars assessed by AFLPs
Authors: R.R. Zhu, Y.K. Gao, L.J. Xu and Q.X. Zhang
Species of the genus Aquilegia are exceptionally diverse in their floral morphology and color, commonly known as columbine. They are widely planted ornamentals and are highly attractive for hummingbirds. However, little is known about their genetic diversity. We examined the genetic diversity of the species and cultivars using.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of polymorphic microsatellite loci from the invasive plant Solidago canadensis (Asteraceae)
Authors: S.-Y. Zhao, S.-G. Sun, Y.-H. Guo, J.-M. Chen and Q.-F. Wang
Solidago canadensis, a clonal herb originally from North America (common name: Canada goldenrod), is an invasive species in many countries. We developed microsatellite primers for this species. Eleven polymorphic loci were generated and primers were designed. Polymorphism of these 11 loci was assessed in 35 plants from two populations (Wuhan and Shanghai).. Read More»

Identification and characterization of differentially expressed genes during incompatible interaction between the foliar rust Melampsora larici-populina and poplar
Authors: Z.J. Chen, Z.M. Cao and Z.D. Yu
Poplars are extensively cultivated worldwide, and their susceptibility to the foliar rust fungus leads to considerable damages in plantations. To better understand the molecular basis of poplar responses to the foliar rust, suppression subtractive hybridization was used to identify the potential important or novel genes involv.. Read More»

Mutation screening of TSC1 and TSC2 genes in Chinese Han children with tuberous sclerosis complex
Authors: C.R. Mi, H. Wang, H. Jiang, R.P. Sun and G.X. Wang
Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant neurogenetic disorder caused by mutations in the TSC1 or TSC2 genes and is frequently associated with hamartoma formation in multiple organ systems. Here, we report two novel mutations in the TSC2 gene, including a splicing mutation (IVS 29 +1G>C) in intron 29 and a .. Read More»

Prediction and extraction of microRNA2target interactions associated with leukemia
Authors: L. Gong, Q. Yan, R. Yang and X. Sun
MicroRNAs are small, non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression by suppressing mRNA translation or inducing mRNA degradation, and have been implicated in a growing number of diseases. To understand microRNAs’ function, it is vital to identify microRNA2target interactions. This work explores the prediction and extracti.. Read More»

RAPD-based genetic diversities and correlation with morphological traits in Camellia (Theaceae) cultivars in China
Authors: X.F. Wang, H.Y. Zheng, W.H. Zheng, C.Q. Ao, H.Y. Jin, L.H. Zhao, N. Li and L.R. Jia
Camellia is an economically important ornamental plant that has many uses, such as in beverages, foods and medicines. We examined 15 Camellia cultivars in Wenzhou, China, using RAPD markers and measurements of three traits (petal color, flower diameter, blooming period). PCR amplification with 15 random primers produced 1935 b.. Read More»

Cytogenetics and morphology of two tortoise species of the genus Chelonoidis (Fitzinger, 1835) (Testudines)
Authors: T.L. Silva
The reptiles were reduced in number of species since the time that they ruled the earth until today. The tortoises have been poorly studied, particularly their morphological and cytogenetic features. We examined the species Chelonoidis carbonaria and C. denticulata, terrestrial tortoises representative of two contrasting biome.. Read More»

Genetic diversity and mycelial compatibility groups of the plant-pathogenic fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum in Brazil
Authors: C.G. Litholdo J�ºnior, E.V. Gomes, M. Lobo J�ºnior, L.C.B. Nasser and S. Petrofeza
The genetic variability of 40 Sclerotinia sclerotiorum isolates from various fields widely distributed throughout Brazil and different host crops was analyzed using RAPD markers and mycelial compatibility groupings (MCGs). The isolates were characterized using 16 random primers of the OPERON series, which produced 121 DNA frag.. Read More»
