Co-expression network analysis prioritizes signaling pathways regulating liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy in rats
Authors: Y. Zhou, J.C. Xu and C.S. Xu
The liver has extraordinary powers of regeneration following partial hepatectomy (PH). Changes in gene expression levels play a key role in cell proliferation and differentiation during liver regeneration (LR). To understand the molecular mechanisms underlying LR, this study was designed to assess the time-dependent changes in.. Read More»

Development and characterization of microsatellite loci in Brasenia schreberi (Cabombaceae) based on the next-generation sequencing
Authors: H. Liu, Z.C. Long, L.N. Li, Q.F. Wang, J.M. Chen and K. Liao
To understand genetic variability of the endangered aquatic herb Brasenia schreberi (Cabombaceae), we describe 31 microsatellite markers obtained using next-generation sequencing. A total of 24 individuals from the population of Jackson Lake, USA, were genotyped for each marker. Twenty-eight markers were polymorphic. The numbe.. Read More»

Bioinformatic analysis based on the complete coding region of the MSTN gene within and among different species
Authors: X.C. Song, C. Xu, Z.G. Yue, L. Wang, G.W. Wang and F.H. Yang
Myostatin, encoded by the MSTN gene (previously GDF8), is a member of the transforming growth factor-β superfamily, which normally acts to limit skeletal muscle mass by regulating the number and growth of muscle fibers. In this study, a total of 84 myostatin gene sequences with known complete coding regions (CDS) and corr.. Read More»

Genetic variability and diversity of the main resources of lily assessed via phenotypic characters, pollen morphology, and ISSR markers
Authors: J.M. Wang, S.L.Y. Ma, W.Q. Li, Q. Wang, H.Y. Cao, J.H. Gu and Y.M. Lu
Lily (Lilium spp), which belongs to Lilium, is one kind of monocotyledon. As a perennial ornamental plant with extremely high esthetic, edible, and medicinal value, lily has gained much favor due to its mostly showy flowers of various colors and elegant shape. In this research, we studied experimental materials in a sample of .. Read More»

Impacts of stocking on the genetic diversity of Colossoma macropomum in central Amazon, Brazil
Authors: C.A. de Queiroz, N.R. Sousa, G.F. da Silva and L.A.K.A. Inoue
Tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) is the main fish species farmed on a commercial scale in northern Brazil. In view of the current scenario of Brazilian aquaculture, studies on the genetic improvement and reproductive management of captive tambaqui are crucial in identifying the genetic variability of broodstocks and devising ma..

Variability of Colletotrichum spp in common bean
Authors: S.F. Mota, Q.L. Barcelos, M.A. Dias and E.A. Souza
The Colletotrichum genus presents large genetic variability, as demonstrated by the occurrence of several pathogenic races and phenotypic traits. The objective of this study was to characterize 22 strains of C. lindemuthianum and Colletotrichum spp recovered from anthracnose lesions and bean scab, and to verify the relationshi.. Read More»

Genetic analysis of floral organ size in broccoli Ã?Â? cabbage via a mixed inheritance model of a major gene plus polygene
Authors: J.S. Shu, Y.M. Liu, Z.S. Li, L.L. Zhang, Z.Y. Fang, L.M. Yang, M. Zhuang,Y.Y. Zhang and H.H. Lv
Broccoli and cabbage are important vegetable crops that produce hybrid seeds after insect pollination; the size of floral organs is crucial for this process. To investigate the genetic characteristics of floral organ sizes (corolla width, petal length and width, and lengths of stamen, anther, style, and stigma) and to improve .. Read More»

Structure of mitochondrial DNA control region and genetic diversity of Moschus berezovskii populations in Shaanxi Province
Authors: H. Feng, C.L. Feng, Y. Huang and J. Tang
In China, Moschus berezovskii (forest musk deer), a first-class national protected animal, was earlier widely distributed. However, wild populations of the forest musk deer have declined because of human activity and habitat loss. In order to gather useful information for its conservation and management, we investigated the ge.. Read More»
