Authors: C. Ma, Q.L. Zhou, Y.J. Deng, X. Liang, D.P. Wu and Y.Z. Dong
The vitamin D receptor BsmI gene polymorphism is reportedly associated with low bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women, but results from previous studies are conflicting. In the present study, we investigated the association between this polymorphism and the risk of low BMD through a meta-analysis of published stud.. Read More»

Association between adiponectin receptor 2 gene polymorphisms and cerebral infarction
Authors: B. Yuan and J.F. Teng
We examined the association between the adiponectin receptor 2 gene and the risk of ischemic stroke. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism was used to detect rs12342 genotypes of the adiponectin receptor 2 gene in 300 ischemic stroke patients and 320 age- and gender-matched healthy controls. In the.. Read More»

Relationship between genetic polymorphisms of DNA ligase 1 and non-small cell lung cancer susceptibility and radiosensitivity
Authors: H. Tian, X. He, L. Yin, W.J. Guo, Y.Y. Xia and Z.X. Jiang
The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between genetic polymorphisms in DNA ligase 1 (LIG1) and nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) susceptibility and radiosensitivity in a Chinese population. This was a case-control study that included 352 NSCLC patients and 448 healthy controls. Polymerase chain reactionrestriction fragment length polymorph.. Read More»

Genome-wide identification and phylogenetic analysis of the AP2/ERF gene superfamily in sweet orange (Citrus sinensis)
Authors: T.M. Ito, P.B. Polido, M.C. Rampim, G. Kaschuk and S.G.H. Souza
Sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) plays an important role in the economy of more than 140 countries, but it is grown in areas with intermittent stressful soil and climatic conditions. The stress tolerance could be addressed by manipulating the ethylene response factor (ERF) transcription factors because they orchestrate .. Read More»

Sublingual vein parameters, AFP, AFP-L3,and GP73 in patients with hepatocellularcarcinoma
Authors: J. Zhao, L.-Y. Guo, J.-M. Yang and J.-W. Jia
This study evaluated the diagnostic value of alphafetoprotein (AFP), AFP heterogeneity 3 (AFP-L3), Golgi protein 73 (GP73), and sublingual vein parameters in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Levels of serum AFP, AFP-L3, GP73, and sublingual vein scores were measured in 34 patients with chronic hepatitis, 65 patients with post-hepatitis B cirrhosis, 71 pati.. Read More»

Impacts of single nucleotide polymorphisms and haplotypes in the bovine Dapper1 gene on body weight
Authors: J. Wang, C. Wang, Y. Gao, X.-Y. Lan, C.-Z. Lei, J.-Q. Wang and H. Chen
The Dapper1 protein plays important role in multiple developmental processes via negative modulation of the Wnt signaling pathway. We detected variations in Dapper1 in 1185 individuals from 5 Chinese cattle breeds and determined their effects on bovine body weight. Two silent mutations (g.8344C>T and g.8428C>T) in exon 6 along with two substitutions.. Read More»

Phenotypic and genotypic variation among Capsicum annuum recombinant inbred lines resistant to bacterial spot
Authors: S.O. Moreira, R. Rodrigues, H.S. Oliveira, A.M. Medeiros, C.P. Sudr�© and L.S.A. Gon�§alves
A breeding program carried out under Brazilian growing conditions to obtain Capsicum annuum cultivars with disease resistance to bacterial spot (BS) produced 8 promising recombinant inbred lines (RILs). The present study aimed to characterize these RILs using phenotypic descriptors and molecular markers (inter-simple sequence repeat) and to confirm their .. Read More»

Identification and expression analysis of YABBY family genes associated with fruit shape in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.)
Authors: H.Q. Han, Y. Liu, M.M. Jiang, H.Y. Ge and H.Y. Chen
YABBY family genes play important roles in the development of leaf, flower, and fruit. The purpose of this research was to integrate all the YABBY genes and analyze the correlation between gene expression and fruit shape in tomato. Scanning of 24 genomes of sequenced species demonstrated that YABBY genes were very normal and stable in flowering plants exc.. Read More»
