Authors: F. Fonseca Coelho, F. Loli Guimar�£es, W.L. Ribeiro Cabral, P.G. Oliveira Salles, E. Cueva Mateo, L. Mendes Nogueira e Nogueira, C.E. Corradi Fonseca and K. Braga Gomes
We evaluated the expression of the PCA3 gene in urine from patients with nodular hyperplasia/benign prostatic hyperplasia (PNH) or adenocarcinoma type prostate cancer (PCa).The study included 59 men: 22 with PCa, 26 with PNH, and 11 with no alterations (controls). Patients’ urine was collected following prostatic massage and quantified by quantitati.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of 10 microsatellite loci for Pallas� long-tongued bat Glossophaga soricina (Phyllostomidae)
Authors: 3521
Glossophaga soricina is a widespread Neotropical nectarivorous bat. We characterized 10 microsatellite loci isolated from a shotgun genomic library. We analyzed tissues from wing membrane of 67 individuals collected from two populations of Central Brazil (Brasília and Alto Paraíso). The number of alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 20, and th..

Genetic diversity of Lagerstroemia (Lythraceae) species assessed by simple sequence repeat markers
Authors: D. He Y. Liu M. Cai H.T. Pan Q.X. Zhang X.Y. Wang X.J. Wang
Lagerstroemia (crape myrtle) are famous ornamental plants with large pyramidal racemes, long flower duration, and diverse colors. However, little is known about the genetic structure and diversity of germplasm in Lagerstroemia. We genotyped 81 L. indica cultivars, five other species of Lagerstroemia, and 10 interspecific hybrids using 30 simple sequence repe.. Read More»

Tangeritin inhibits adipogenesis by down-regulating C/EBP�±, C/EBP�², and PPAR�³ expression in 3T3-L1 fat cells
Authors: Y.F. He, F.Y. Liu and W.X. Zhang
The treatment of obese patients is a topic investigated by an increasing number of researchers. This study aimed to elucidate the possible inhibitory effect of tangeritin on the development and function of fat cells. 3T3-L1 fat cells were grown to confluence and subjected to different concentrations of tangeritin. The most effective tangeritin inhibition .. Read More»

Interspecific hybridization between Tigridia pavonia and T. augusta through ovary slice culture
Authors: J.-L. PiÃ?±a-Escutia L.-M. VÃ?¡zquez-GarcÃ?Âa A.-M. Arzate-FernÃ?¡ndez
Tigridia pavonia is the most popular species in the Tigridia genus, and is currently marketed in Europe, Asia, and Australia as a landscape plant. Although it is native to Mexico, there are no breeding programs for it. In this study, we attempted to increase its flower color spectrum and growth habit by interspecific hybridization with T. augusta. Intersp.. Read More»

Amarelinha do Amap�¡: a carotenoid-rich cassava cultivar
Authors: N.M.A. Nassar, P.C. Fernandes, R.D. Melani and O.R. Pires J�ºnior
Eight cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) cultivars, of which four are indigenous to the Amazon region, along with an interspecific hybrid, were assessed for their carotenoid content. They were propagated and are maintained in the living Manihot collection at the University of Brasília. The cultivar “Amarelinha do Amapá”, whi.. Read More»

Genes expressed in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) buds isolated with a subtractive library
Authors: M.P.N. Pinheiro V.G.L. Batista N.F. Martins R.C. Santos P.A. Melo Filho C.R.C. Silva L.M. Lima
A subtractive cDNA library from cotton buds was constructed to prospect for differentially expressed genes related to early bud development. A library was constructed and 768 cDNA sequences were obtained, comprising 168 clusters, with 126 contigs and 42 singlets. Both the Gossypium as well as Arabidopsis databases were utilized for the in silico analysis,.. Read More»

Genetic diversity in the germplasm of tropical maize landraces determined using molecular markers
Authors: D. Molin C.J. Coelho D.S. M�¡ximo F.S. Ferreira J.R. Gardingo R.R. Matiello
Maize landraces derived from tropical germplasm represent an important source of genetic variability, which is currently poorly understood and under-exploited by Brazilian crop breeding programs. The aims of our study were to a) estimate the genetic diversity across 48 varieties of maize landraces cultivated at different locations in the States of Rio Grande.. Read More»
