Genes associated with disc degeneration identified using microarray gene expression profiling and bioinformatics analysis
Authors: Y. Chen, K. Chen, M. Li, C. Li, H. Ma, Y.S. Bai, X.D. Zhu and Q. Fu
Disc degeneration is strongly associated with back or neck pain, sciatica, and disc herniation or prolapse. It places an enormous economic burden on society and can greatly affect quality of life. Alternative treatment approaches, such as genetic therapies, are urgently needed to slow or reverse the disc degeneration process. We downloaded gene expression.. Read More»

Peroxidase is involved in Pepper yellow mosaic virus resistance in Capsicum baccatum var. pendulum
Authors: L.S.A. Gon�§alves, R. Rodrigues, M.S.S. Diz, R.R. Robaina, A.T. do Amaral J�ºnior, A.O. Carvalho and V.M. Gomes
Pathogenesis-related proteins (PRs) are among the defense mechanisms of plants that work as an important barrier to the development of pathogens. These proteins are classified into 17 families according to their amino acid sequences, serology, and/or biological or enzyme activity. The present study aimed to identify PRs associated with the pathosystem of .. Read More»

Selection in sugarcane based on inbreeding depression
Authors: A.A.C. de Azeredo, L.L. Bhering, B.P. Brasileiro, C.D. Cruz and M.H.P. Barbosa
This study aimed to evaluate the gene action associated with yield-related traits, including mean stalk weight (MSW), tons of sugarcane per hectare (TCH), and fiber content (FIB) in sugarcane. Moreover, the viability of individual reciprocal recurrent selection (RRSI-S1) was verified, and the effect of inbreeding depression on.. Read More»

Relationship between TBX20 gene polymorphism and congenital heart disease
Authors: X.F. Yang, Y.F. Zhang, C.F. Zhao, M.M. Liu, J.P. Si, Y.F. Fang,W.W. Xing and F.L. Wang
Congenital heart disease in children is a type of birth defect. Previous studies have suggested that the transcription factor, TBX20, is involved in the occurrence and development of congenital heart disease in children; however, the specific regulatory mechanisms are yet to be evaluated. Hence, this study aimed to evaluate th.. Read More»

Gene expression and enzyme activity of lipoprotein lipase correlate with intramuscular fat content in Guangxi san-huang and Arbor Acres chickens
Authors: Y.N. Huang, J. Wang, B.J. Chen, Q.Y. Jiang, Y.F. Guo, G.Q. Lan and H.S. Jiang
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is a key enzyme in lipid metabolism. This study investigated LPL gene expression, LPL enzyme activity, and the correlation of each with intramuscular fat (IMF) in Chinese Guangxi san-huang (GXSH) and Arbor Acres (AA) chickens. The results showed that age and breed had significant effects on LPL express.. Read More»

Molecular phylogeny of Lathyrus species: insights from sequence-related amplified polymorphism markers
Authors: S. Marghali, A. Touati, M. Gharbi, D. Sdouga and N. Trifi-Farah
Sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) markers were used to evaluate the intra- and interspecific variation among 40 Lathyrus genotypes (four species) (Fabaceae). Ten SRAP primer combinations resulted in a total of 94 bands, and they exhibited high interspecific variability. The genetic differentiation among Lathyrus, estimated using AMOVA, was hi.. Read More»
