Genetic diversity of spineless Cereus jamacaru accessions using morphological and molecular markers
Authors: F.I.C. Oliveira, P.N. Bordallo, A.C.R. Castro and D. Correia
This is the first study to examine the genetic diversity of mandacaru cactus (Cereus jamacaru P. DC.). Plants of spineless mandacaru are commonly found in gardens and parks of urban areas in northeastern Brazil. In addition to exploring their ornamental potential, morphological, and genetic characterization may contribute to the development of plant mater.. Read More»

Association of insulin growth factor-1 receptor gene polymorphisms with genetic susceptibility to idiopathic short stature
Authors: Y. Yang, H. Huang,W. Wang, L. Yang, L.L. Xie and W. Huang
The association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R) gene and susceptibility to idiopathic short stature (ISS) was investigated. Seven hundred and twelve Chinese children clinically diagnosed with ISS and 575 normal individuals were recruited between 2008 and 2011, and their SNPs were genotyp.. Read More»

Transcriptional responses in eastern honeybees (Apis cerana) infected with mites, Varroa destructor
Authors: Transcriptional responses in eastern honeybees (Apis cerana) infected with mites, Varroa destructor
The Varroa destructor mite has become the greatest threat to Apis mellifera health worldwide, but rarely causes serious damage to its native host Apis cerana. Understanding the resistance mechanisms of eastern bees against Varroa mites will help researchers determine how to protect other species from this organism. The A. cerana genome has not been previo.. Read More»

Proline partially overcomes excess molybdenum toxicity in cabbage seedlings grown in vitro
Authors: J. Kumchai1, J.-Z. Huang2, C.-Y. Lee2, F.-C. Chen2 and S.-W. Chin2
In vitro grown cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata) seedlings exposed to excess molybdenum (Mo) ions exhibited severely reduced plant growth at the cotyledonary stage. Adding 80 mM proline (Pro) to the Mo-treated medium could help 50% seedlings to overcome the toxicity and grow true leaves. Under excess Mo stress, seedlings accumulated blue/purple an.. Read More»

Establishment and molecular characterization of a sweet potato germplasm bank of the highlands of Paran�¡ State, Brazil
Authors: L.K.P. Camargo1,2, A.F. M�³gor2, J.T.V. Resende1 and P.R. Da-Silva3
The sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) is a crop of great importance in developing countries, as a food staple, for animal feed, and potentially for biofuel. Development of cultivars adapted to specific regions within these countries would be useful. To start a breeding program, the first step is the establishment of a germplasm bank. We initiated a sweet .. Read More»

Genetic differences between the wild and hatchery-produced populations of Korean short barbeled grunter (Hapalogenys nitens) determined with microsatellite markers
Authors: H.S. An, H.W. Kang, H.S. Han, J.Y. Park, C.G. Hong, J. Park, J.I. Myeong and C.M. An
Short barbeled grunter, Hapalogenys nitens, is an economically important fishery resource. In Korea, this fish is in the early stage of domestication, and it has been regarded as the candidate marine fish species for prospective aquaculture diversification. This study presents a preliminary investigation of the future viability of sustainable fry producti.. Read More»

Expression of cationic amino acid transporters, carcass traits, and performance of growing pigs fed low-protein amino acid-supplemented versus high protein diets
Authors: A. Morales, F. Grageola, H. GarcÃ?Âa, A. Araiza, R.T. Zijlstra and M. Cervantes
Free amino acids (AA) appear to be absorbed faster than protein-bound AA (PB-AA). We conducted an experiment to assess the effect of feeding pigs with a partially free (F-AA) or totally PB-AA diet on expression of selected genes and performance of pigs. The expression of cationic AA transporters b0,+ and CAT-1 in intestinal mucosa, liver, and longissimus .. Read More»

Associations between clinical characteristics and oncogene expression in patients with non-small cell lung cancer
Authors: Y. Han, D.P. Yu, S.J. Zhou, X.Y. Song, Y.S. Li, N. Xiao, Z.D. Liu, X.J. Sun, Q.Y. Zhao and S.K. Liu.
More than 40 oncogenes associated with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have been identified with varied gene expression. The correlations between specific clinical characteristics and oncogene expression in NSCLC patients were examined. From October 2011 to September 2012, a total of 60 patients with NSCLC (male:female, 34:24; mean age, 59.5 ± 1.. Read More»
