Authors: W.Q. Yang
Previous studies have shown that cytokines can affect serum lipoprotein concentrations. The aim of this study was to examine the association between IL-10 gene polymorphisms and serum lipoprotein levels of Han Chinese individuals. A total of 359 Han Chinese people were enrolled in this investigation. IL-10 -592, -819, and -108.. Read More»

Authors: X.L. Zhu, F. Yang, H.X. Li, Y.X. Dou, X.L. Meng, H. Li, X.N. Luo and X.P. Cai
An outbreak of sheep pox was investigated in the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region in China. Through immunofluorescence testing, isolated viruses, polymerase chain reaction identification, and electron microscopic examination, the isolated strain was identified as a sheep pox virus. The virus was identified through sequence and phylogenetic analysis of the P3.. Read More»

Study of genetic variation of eggplant cultivars by using RAPD-PCR molecular markers and the relationship with Phomopsis blight disease reaction
Authors: H.A. Asad, M.B. Meah, S.N. Begum, M.I. Khalil, M.Y. Rafii and M.A. Latif
Disease susceptibility and genetic variability in 10 eggplant genotypes were studied after inoculating Phomopsis vexans under confined field conditions. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers were used to assess genetic variation and relationships among eggplant genotypes. The disease index of leaves ranged 0.208-13.79%, while fruit infection ran.. Read More»

Interaction between ALOX5AP-SG13S114A/T and COX-2-765G/C increases susceptibility to cerebral infarction in a Chinese population
Authors: X.Y. Yi, Q. Zhou, J. Lin, L.F. Chi and W.Z. Chi
We made a case-control study to investigate a possible association between ALOX5AP-SG13S114A/T, COX-2-765G/C, and COX-1-50C/T polymorphisms with cerebral infarction in a Chinese population. A total of 411 cases with cerebral infarction were included; 411 controls matched for age, gender, and risk factors were also selected. The ALOX5AP-SG13S114A/T (rs1050.. Read More»

KLK1 A1789G gene polymorphism and the risk of coronary artery stenosis in the Chinese population
Authors: Q.D. Li, F.J. Li, X.C. Liu and H. Jiang
Previous reports have shown that polymorphism of the human tissue kallikrein 1 (KLK1) A1789G gene is associated with susceptibility to hypertension. The current study aimed to confirm the association between the polymorphism in KLK1 and coronary artery stenosis (CAS). A total of 458 patients with CAS and 482 controls were used in a case-control study carr.. Read More»

Development and characterization of microsatellite loci for genetic studies of the sugarcane borer, Diatraea saccharalis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae)
Authors: V.A.C. Pavinato, K.L. Silva-Brand�£o, M. Monteiro, M.I. Zucchi, J.B. Pinheiro, F.L.F. Dias and C. Omoto
We present polymorphic microsatellite markers isolated for genetic studies of the sugarcane borer, Diatraea saccharalis (Fabricius). We isolated 16 microsatellite loci through an enriched genomic library protocol. After characterization, 12 markers showed polymorphic information expressed in the observed number of alleles (ranging from 2 to 7; 5 on averag.. Read More»

Influence of GSTM1 and GSTT1 polymorphisms on the survival rate of patients with malignant glioma under perillyl alcohol-based therapy
Authors: M.M. Silva, C.O. Da Fonseca, R. Moura-Neto, J.F. Carvalho, T. Quirico-Santos and M.G. Carvalho
GSTM1 (glutathione S-transferase mu 1) and GSTT1 (glutathione S-transferase theta 1) are critical enzymes for detoxification of endogenous and environmental carcinogens. Constitutive GST gene polymorphisms may be associated with increased risk for cancer development. We made an explorative study of a Brazilian population with malignant glioma to determine..

Correspondence between performance of Eucalyptus spp trees selected from family and clonal tests
Authors: C.A.F. Reis, F.M.A. Gon�§alves, L.N. Rosse, R.R.G.F. Costa and M.A.P. Ramalho
We examined the correspondence in performance between trees selected from a family test and their respective clones from a clonal test of Eucalyptus. Full-sib families were obtained from controlled pollination among individuals of Eucalyptus grandis and between E. grandis and E. urophylla. The hybridizations did not follow a f.. Read More»

Sequence characterization, polymorphism, and tissue expression profile of an effector immediate-early gene: activity-regulated cytoskeletal associated protein gene (Arc/Arg3.1) in swamp and river buffalo
Authors: F. Yuan, J.L. Huo1, D.L. Li, Y.Y. Yuan, W.Z. Lu, S. Song, L.J. Li and Y.W. Miao
The activity-regulated cytoskeletal associated protein (Arc/Arg3.1) has been implicated in experience-dependent synaptic plasticity and memory formation. However, information regarding its coding gene in buffalo remains scarce. In this study, the full-length of Arc/Arg3.1 was isolated and characterized (accession No. JX491649).. Read More»

Single nucleotide polymorphism analysis of the endopolygalacturonase gene in peach and its potential use in crossbreeding programs
Authors: Y. Jiao,R. Ma and M. Yu
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most abundant sequence variations found in plant genomes and are widely used as molecular genetic markers in genetic diversity studies and crossbreeding programs. In this study, we examined 113 DNA sequences of the endopolygalacturonase (endo-PG) gene from 67 peach accessions and found a total of 56 SNPs and .. Read More»
