Identification of differentially expressed genes in a pistillody common wheat mutant using an annealing control primer system
Authors: M.L. Liao,Z.S. Peng,Z.J. Yang,S.H. Wei and P. Martinek
HTS-1 is a new kind of pistillody wheat. All or parts of its stamen are transformed into pistils or pistil-like structures, and it has more seed sets per floret than normal wheat under normal cultivation conditions. To investigate the expression divergence in this mutant, an annealing control primer system was used to identify differentially expressed gen.. Read More»

Factors that influence the test day milk yield and composition
Authors: F.G. Silva, L.F. Brito, R.A. Torres, J.I. Ribeiro J�ºnior, H.R. Oliveira, G.C. Caetano and M.T. Rodrigues
The objective of this research was to study the factors that influence the test day milk yield (TDMY) and percentages of protein, fat, lactose, and total dry extract obtained on test day. We evaluated 110,732 weekly milk production records from 1496 goats and 19,271 monthly milk constituent records from 1245 Alpine and Saanen goats, which were collected f.. Read More»

Association of LRP5 Ala1330Val polymorphism with fracture risk: a meta-analysis
Authors: J. Peng, Y. Lu, Y.J. Liu and Y.L. Zhan
Numerous studies have evaluated the association between the Ala1330Val polymorphism of the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related proteins 5 (LRP5) gene and fracture risk. However, the specific association is still controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate their correlation via meta-analysis. and EMBASE databases were searched, and data we.. Read More»

Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of Fusarium proliferatum
Authors: J. Bernardi-Wenzel, M.C. Quecine, J.L. Azevedo and J.A. Pamphile
Fusarium proliferatum is an important pathogen that is associated with plant diseases and primarily affects aerial plant parts by producing different mycotoxins, which are toxic to humans and animals. Within the last decade, this fungus has also been described as one of the causes of red root rot or sudden death syndrome in so.. Read More»

Genetic diversity in mutated and non-mutated rice varieties
Authors: M. Naeem, F. Ghouri, M.Q. Shahid, M. Iqbal, F. S. Baloch, L. Chen, S. Allah, M. Babar and M. Rana
We studied the genetic variability due to mutation induced by γ-rays (10, 15, and 20 Kr) on various traits of twelve rice genotypes. Mutated and non-mutated seeds were sown in the field between July 2013 and 2014 using a split plot design. Yield and yield-related trait data was recorded, which showed significant (P < 0.05) genotypic and irradiati.. Read More»

MCP-1 gene polymorphisms in North Chinese patients with pulmonary tuberculosis
Authors: G.L. Shi,L. Yang,Y. Sun,Y.J. Yin and C.X. Song
Pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) remains one of the most important infectious diseases worldwide. Several studies have suggested that genetic factors may affect the susceptibility to PTB, but the specific genes involved have not been fully characterized. The gene for monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) has been linked to an increased risk of tuberculos.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of polymorphic microsatellite markers for blue fox (Alopex lagopus)
Authors: Y.M. Li, P.C. Guo, J.Y. Lu, C.Y. Bai, Z.H. Zhao and S.Q. Yan
The blue fox, belonging to the family Canidae, is a coat color variant of the native arctic fox (Alopex lagopus). To date, microsatellite loci in blue fox are typically amplified using canine simple sequence repeat primers. In the present study, we constructed an (AC)n enrichment library, and isolated and identified 17 polymor.. Read More»

Analysis of genetic diversity of Laeliinae (Orchidaceae) in the State of Sergipe using ISSR markers
Authors: M.F. Arrigoni-Blank, M.S. Santos, A.F. Blank, A.R.C. Rabbani, R. Silva-Mann, J.B. Santos, A.S. Costa and T.S.A. Menezes
The Orchidaceae represent one of the largest and most diverse families on the planet. However, this family is constantly threatened by predators and by the advancement of urban centers over its natural habitats. The objective of this study was to use inter-simple sequence repeat markers to evaluate the genetic diversity betwee.. Read More»

New polymorphic microsatellite loci of threadsail filefish, Stephanolepis cirrhifer (Teleostei, Monacanthidae), from Korean waters
Authors: C.-M. An, H.S. An, J.W. Lee and S.W. Hong
The threadsail filefish, Stephanolepis cirrhifer (Monacanthidae), is found mainly in the western Pacific. It is intensively caught in Korea and is a highly appreciated seafood delicacy. Consequently, the natural population of this species has drastically decreased, despite introductions from hatcheries. To provide information necessary for its conservatio.. Read More»
