Authors: H.C.C. Ramos, M.G. Pereira, L.S.A. Gon�§alves, A.P.C.G. Berilli, F.O. Pinto and E.H. Ribeiro
Morpho-agronomic and molecular (RAPD and ISSR markers) data were used to evaluate genetic distances between papaya backcross progenies in order to help identify agronomically superior genotypes. Thirty-two papaya progenies were evaluated based on 15 morpho-agronomic characteristics, 20 ISSR and 19 RAPD primers. Manhattan, Jacc.. Read More»

Genetic diversity analysis of isolates of the fungal bean pathogen Pseudocercospora griseola from central and southern Brazil
Authors: A.K.R. Abadio, S.S. Lima, M.F. Santana, T.M.F. Salom�£o, A. Sartorato, E.S.G. Mizubuti, E.F. Ara�ºjo and M.V. de Queiroz
Planting resistant varieties is the most effective control measure against the angular leaf spot of dry beans, a fungal disease caused by Pseudocercospora griseola. However, dry bean varieties with durable resistance are not easily obtained. Knowledge about the genetic variability of the pathogen population is key for the succ.. Read More»

Evaluation of the effects of androgen receptor gene trinucleotide repeats and prostate-specific antigen gene polymorphisms on prostate cancer
Authors: D. Alptekin, M. Izmirli, Y. Bayazit, H.U. Luleyap, M.B. Yilmaz, B. Soyupak, M.A. Erkoc and Z. Tansug
The number of trinucleotide repeats [CAG (coding for polyglutamine), GGC (coding for polyglycine)] in the first exon of the androgen receptor (AR) gene and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) gene androgen response element I A/G polymorphism are both related to prostate cancer prognosis. We investigated whether these genomic chang.. Read More»

Genetic progress in the UNB-2U population of popcorn under recurrent selection in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Authors: R.M. Ribeiro, A.T. do Amaral J�ºnior, L.S.A. Gon�§alves, L.S. Candido, T.R.C. Silva and G.F. Pena
As part of the Universidade Estadual do Norte Fluminense recurrent selection program of popcorn, we evaluated full-sib families of the sixth cycle of recurrent selection and estimated genetic progress for grain yield and expansion capacity. We assessed 200 full-sib families for 10 agronomic traits, in a randomized block design.. Read More»

Genome-wide identification and characterization of simple sequence repeat loci in grape phylloxera, Daktulosphaira vitifoliae
Authors: H. Lin, M.S. Islam and D.W. Ramming
A genome-wide sequence search was conducted to identify simple sequence repeat (SSR) loci in phylloxera, Daktulosphaira vitifoliae, a major grape pest throughout the world. Collectively, 1524 SSR loci containing mono-, di-, tri-, tetra-, penta-, and hexanucleotide motifs were identified. Among them, trinucleotide repeats were .. Read More»

Association of TP53 gene codon 72 polymorphism with endometriosis in Mexican women
Authors: M.P. Gallegos-Arreola, L.E. Figuera-Villanueva, A.M. Puebla-P�©rez, H. Montoya-Fuentes, A.E. Suarez-Rincon and G.M. Z�º�±iga-Gonz�¡lez
The TP53 tumor suppressor gene plays an important role in cell cycle regulation; polymorphisms of this gene have been associated with endometriosis. We examined the role of TP53 codon 72 polymorphism by comparing genotypes of 235 healthy Mexican women (controls with surgically excluded endometriosis) with the genotypes of 151 .. Read More»

Association of GSTM1 and GSTT1 with ageing in auto repair shop workers
Authors: S.A. Eshkoor, S.J. Marashi, P. Ismail, S.A. Rahman, M. Mirinargesi, M.Y. Adon and R.V. Devan
We evaluated the possible influence of glutathione S-transferase mu (GSTM1) and glutathione S-transferase theta (GSTT1) genes on genetic damage due to occupational exposure, which contributes to accelerate ageing. This study was conducted on 120 car auto repair workshop workers exposed to occupational hazards and 120 controls .. Read More»

Seventeen polymorphic microsatellite markers developed for the Javelin goby, Synechogobius hasta (Gobiidae)
Authors: C.-C. Bai, S.-F. Liu, Z.-M. Zhuang, Y.-J. Yuan, H.-B. Liu and F.-Q. Dai
Synechogobius hasta is an important commercial marine fish with distinctive features of rapid growth and short lifespan. We isolated and characterized 17 microsatellite markers for S. hasta using a (GT)13-enriched genomic library. Polymorphism was assessed in 48 individuals from a single population collected from the northern .. Read More»

Meta-analysis of TP73 polymorphism and cervical cancer
Authors: H. Feng, L. Sui, M. Du and Q. Wang
The aim of this study was to investigate the tumor protein p73 (TP73) G4C14-A4T14 polymorphism and to perform a meta-analysis to assess TP73 expression in cervical cancer and precancerous tissue. Articles containing data regarding TP73 status in cervical cancer patients and healthy controls were retrieved from PubMed, EMBASE, .. Read More»
