Diversity resistance to Puccinia striiformis f. sp Tritici in rye chromosome arm 1RS expressed in wheat
Authors: M.Y. Yang, T.H. Ren, B.J. Yan, Z. Li and Z.L. Ren
The 1BL.1RS wheat-rye translocation contained in the Russian cultivar Aurora has been the most widespread alien translocation in wheat-breeding programs all over the world. However, following the prevalence of new biotypes of the pathogens, disease-resistance genes in this translocation chromosome have been overcome and consequently they have been elimina.. Read More»

Polymorphisms in the XRCC1 gene are associated with treatment response to platinum chemotherapy in advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients based on meta-analysis
Authors: L. Li, C. Wan and F.Q. Wen
X-ray repair cross complementing group 1(XRCC1) polymorphisms have been implicated in interindividual variability of efficacy of platinum chemotherapy for treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC); however, results of different studies have been inconsistent. We conducted a meta-analysis to investigate the association betwee.. Read More»

Genome-wide identification and phylogenetic analysis of the SBP-box gene family in melons
Authors: Y. Ma, J.W. Guo, R. Bade, Z.H. Men and A. Hasi
The SBP-box gene family is specific to plants and encodes a class of zinc finger-containing transcription factors with a broad range of functions. Although SBP-box genes have been identified in numerous plants, including green algae, moss, silver birch, snapdragon, Arabidopsis, rice, and maize, there is little information concerning SBP-box genes, or the ..

Inter-retrotransposon-amplified polymorphism markers for germplasm characterization in Manihot esculenta (Euphorbiaceae)
Authors: A.M. Oliveira-Silva, G.F. Silva, M.C. Dias, C.R. Clement and N.R. Sousa
Manioc, Manihot esculenta, is economically important in many tropical and subtropical countries. The genetic variability of the species has not been fully explored, and new information may help expand its use. Molecular markers based on retrotransposons have good potential for analysis of genetic diversity given their abundanc.. Read More»

Complete mitochondrial genomes of the Bright Sunbeam Curetis bulis and the Small Copper Lycaena phlaeas (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) and their phylogenetic implications
Authors: L.L. Zhang1, J.S. Hao1,2, D.Y. Huang1, X.Y. Sun2, J.J. Hao1, C.M. Peng1 and Q. Yang2
In this study, the complete mitochondrial genomes of Curetis bulis and Lycaena phlaeas were determined and analyzed. The circular genomes are 15,162 bp long for C. bulis and 15,280 bp long for L. phlaeas, with a total A+T content of 82.6 and 83.1%, respectively. Both mitogenomes contain 37 genes, and their gene orders are similar to those of other lepidop.. Read More»

Characterization of Anatolian traditional quince cultivars, based on microsatellite markers
Authors: C. Y�¼ksel, F. Mutaf, �°. Demirta��, G. ��zt�¼rk, M. Pekta��, A. Erg�¼l
We conducted simple sequence repeat (SSR) analyses of 15 traditional quince (Cydonia oblonga) cultivars from Anatolian gene sources for molecular characterization and investigation of genetic relationships. Three pear and two apple cultivars were used as references for SSR locus data analysis and to determine allele profiles b.. Read More»

Genetic diversity and differentiation of exotic and American commercial cattle breeds raised in Brazil
Authors: B.S.A.F. Brasil1,2,3*, E.G.A. Coelho1*, M.G. Drummond1,2 and D.A.A. Oliveira1
The Brazilian cattle population is mainly composed of breeds of zebuine origin and their American derivatives. Comprehensive knowledge about the genetic diversity of these populations is fundamental for animal breeding programs and the conservation of genetic resources. This study aimed to assess the phylogenetic relationships, levels of genetic diversity.. Read More»
