Authors: T. Kanchanaketu, N. Sangduen, T. Toojinda and V. Hongtrakul
Genetic analysis of 56 samples of Jatropha curcas L. collected from Thailand and other countries was performed using the methylation-sensitive amplification polymorphism (MSAP) technique. Nine primer combinations were used to generate MSAP fingerprints. When the data were interpreted as amplified fragment length polymorphism (.. Read More»

Population divergence and peculiar karyoevolutionary trends in the loricariid fish Hypostomus aff. unae from northeastern Brazil
Authors: J.A. Bitencourt, P.R.A.M. Affonso, L. Giuliano-Caetano, P.L.S. Carneiro and A.L. Dias
Loricariidae (Siluriformes, Hypostominae) is one of the most diverse catfish families. In spite of the wide distribution of loricariids in South America, cytogenetic reports are available for only a few species, mostly from southern and southeastern Brazil. We made the first chromosomal analysis of Hypostomus aff. unae from th.. Read More»

Microsatellite marker-based identification and genetic relationships of olive cultivars from the Extremadura region of Spain
Authors: F.J. Delgado-Martinez, I. Amaya, J.F. S�¡nchez-Sevilla and M.C. Gomez-Jimenez
Seventy-seven olive accessions corresponding to 25 cultivars from the Extremadura region of Spain were studied using four microsatellite or SSR markers in order to fingerprint them, and evaluate genetic similarity and relationships between local and introduced olive cultivars. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 4 to 8.. Read More»

Methylation-sensitive amplified polymorphism-based genome-wide analysis of cytosine methylation profiles in Nicotiana tabacum cultivars
Authors: J. Jiao, J. Wu, Z. Lv, C. Sun, L. Gao, X. Yan, L. Cui, Z. Tang, B. Yan and Y. Jia
This study aimed to investigate cytosine methylation profiles in different tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) cultivars grown in China. Methylation-sensitive amplified polymorphism was used to analyze genome-wide global methylation profiles in four tobacco cultivars (Yunyan 85, NC89, K326, and Yunyan 87). Amplicons with meth..

Classification of colon cancer based on the expression of randomly selected genes
Authors: X.H. Tan, R. Cheng, H.P. Hu and Y.P. Bai
In order to ascertain the relationship between gene expression and colon cancer localization, a classification method based on random gene selection and a self-organizing map network is proposed. Different numbers of genes were selected randomly from 54,675 genes of 53 colon cancer patients in stage union for international can.. Read More»

Chromosomal evolution in the pallescens group (Hemiptera, Triatominae)
Authors: K.C.C Alevi, A. Ravazi, M.F. Franco-Bernardes, J.A. Rosa and M.T.V. Azeredo-Oliveira
Rhodnius colombiensis, in conjunction with R. pallescens and R. ecuadoriensis, forms the monophyletic pallescens group. Cytogenetic analyses of these closely related species would further our understanding of the taxonomy and evolution of this group. In this study, R. colombiensis was cytogenetically analyzed, and the results .. Read More»

Genetic structure and diversity analysis of the primary gene pool of chickpea using SSR markers
Authors: P. Choudhary, S.M. Khanna, P.K. Jain, C. Bharadwaj, J. Kumar, P.C. Lakhera and R. Srinivasan
Members of the primary gene pool of the chickpea, including 38 accessions of Cicer arietinum, six of C. reticulatum and four of C. echinospermum grown in India were investigated using 100 SSR markers to analyze their genetic structure, diversity and relationships. We found considerable diversity, with a mean of 4.8 alleles per.. Read More»

Association of the CYP4F2 rs2108622 genetic polymorphism with hypertension: a meta-analysis
Authors: X.-H. Luo, G.-R. Li and H.-Y. Li
Previous case-control studies on the relationship between the CYP4F2 gene rs2108622 polymorphism and hypertension have produced contrasting results. In this study, we aimed to further evaluate the relationship between the CYP4F2 gene rs2108622 polymorphism and hypertension. We selected four case-control studies related to the .. Read More»

Molecular characteristics and cloning of two pepper genes AN2 and UPA20
Authors: H.X. Chen, H. Jiang, J.L. Huo, J.F. Wen, H.S. Zhu, C.H. Ma, H. Zhou, J.H. Lv and M.H. Deng
The complete coding sequences (CDSs) of “Yunnan Purple Pepper No.1” (Capsicum annuum L.) AN2 and UPA20 genes were amplified using the reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction on the basis of the conserved sequence information of some Solanaceae plants and known highly homologous pepper expressed sequence tags. The nucleotide sequence an.. Read More»

Cloning and functional analysis of the chitinase gene promoter in peanut
Authors: X.L. Chen, R.T. Song, M.Y. Yu, J.M. Sui, J.S. Wang and L.X. Qiao
Chitinase is an important pathogenesis-related protein in plants, and it can accumulate when induced by salicylic acid (SA) or other elicitors. Here, we found that chitinase mRNA levels were 4.5-times greater when peanut seedlings were sprayed with 1.5 mM SA, as compared to water. The upstream promoter sequence of the chitinas.. Read More»
