Authors: A.L. Oliveira, F.F. Oliveira Rodrigues, R.E. dos Santos, R.L. Rozenowicz and M. Barbosa de Melo
The glutathione S-transferase (GST) family comprises phase-II cellular detoxification enzymes that catalyze the conjugation of chemotherapy drugs to glutathione and act on the apoptotic pathway. The aim of this study was to determine whether polymorphisms of the GSTT1, GSTM1, and GSTP1 genes are associated with different rates.. Read More»

Effects of exogenous 5-aminolevulinic acid on PIP1 and NIP aquaporin gene expression in seedlings of cucumber cultivars subjected to salinity stress
Authors: F. Yan, D. Qu, Y.Y. Zhao, X.H. Hu, Z.Y. Zhao, Y. Zhang and Z.R. Zou
Aquaporins play a direct role in plant water relation under salt stress, but the effects of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) on aquaporin gene expression in salt-treated plants remain unknown. This study investigated the potential effects of exogenous ALA (50 mg/dm3) on aquaporin expression levels under salt stress (75 mM NaCl) in .. Read More»

Comparative analysis of polygalacturonase in the fruit of strawberry cultivars
Authors: H.C. Zhou, G. Li, X. Zhao and L.J. Li
The role of polygalacturonase (PG) in the development, ripening, and softening of fruit from two strawberry cultivars with different flesh firmness and softening characteristics was compared. Changes in PG activity and gene expression during development, ripening and softening were measured. The PG genes from each cultivar wer.. Read More»

Sex differential marker FD for rapid sex identification of Litsea cubeba
Authors: Q. Wu, Y. Chen, Y. Wang and L. Lin
Litsea cubeba is an important economic tree in China. Sex identification of the species is required to reduce breeding costs. Molecular biology is an ideal method to achieve this aim because of the lack of morphological differences between male and female plants, especially at the seedling stage. Sequence-related amplified pol.. Read More»
