Karyotypic studies of Cratylia argentea (Desv.) O. Kuntze and C. mollis Mart. ex Benth. (Fabaceae - Papilionoideae)
Authors: S.M. Vargas, G.A. Torres, F.S. Sobrinho, A.V. Pereira, L.C. Davide
Cratylia argentea and C. mollis (Fabaceae-Papilionoideae) are legume shrubs native to the Cerrado and Caatinga, respectively. Both species show great resistance to drought and high nutritive value, which makes them a valuable forage resource in tropical regions. Cytogenetic studies were carried out on accessions of C. argentea.. Read More»

Authors: M.A.R. Vieira, M.O.M. Marques, L.L. Haber, B.B.Z. Vigna, M.M. Bajay, J.B. Pinheiro, A.P. Souza, J. Semir and M.I. Zucch
Lychnophora ericoides and Lychnophora pinaster are species used in popular medicine as analgesic or anti-inflammatory 21 simple sequence repeat loci of L. ericoides were developed and transferred to L. pinaster. Three populations of L. ericoides and 2 populations of L. pinaster were evaluated; they were collected in the State of Minas Gerais. Population p.. Read More»

Identifying differentially expressed genes and pathways in two types of non-small cell lung cancer: adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma
Authors: J. Liu, X.Y. Yang and W.J. Shi
Non-small cell lung carcinoma, NSCLC, accounts for 80-85% of lung cancers. NSCLC can be mainly divided into two types: adenocarcinoma (ADC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The purpose of our study was to identify and differentiate the pathogenesis of ADC and SCC at the molecular level. The gene expression profiles of ADC an.. Read More»

Inheritance of bacterial spot resistance in Capsicum annuum var. annuum
Authors: L.R.A. Silva, R. Rodrigues, S. Pimenta, J.W.S. Correa, M.S.B. Ara�ºjo, C.S. Bento and C.P. Sudr�©
Since 2008, Brazil is the largest consumer of agrochemicals, which increases production costs and risks of agricultural products, environment, and farmers’ contamination. Sweet pepper, which is one of the main consumed vegetables in the country, is on top of the list of the most sprayed crops. The bacterial spot, caused .. Read More»

Meta-analysis of associations between the TP53 Arg72Pro polymorphism with risk of head and neck carcinomas based on case-control studies
Authors: W.H. Ren, D.K. Jiang, Y. Pei, S.Q. Wang, X.M. Yang and L. Yu
Genetic factors have been shown to play a role in the development of head and neck cancers (HNCs). However, studies investigating the association between the TP53 Arg72Pro polymorphism and HNCs susceptibility have yielded conflicting results. Hence, we performed a meta-analysis of all eligible studies (up to January 1, 2012) t.. Read More»

Cloning and functional prediction of differentially expressed genes in the leaves of Glycine max parents and hybrids at the seedling stage
Authors: J. Zhang, D. Yao, P. Wang, S.Y. Guan, J. Ma and Y.P. Fu
Here, we compare the molecular mechanism of soybean heterosis through the differential expression of basic cloning. Specifically, we cloned 22 differentially expressed cDNA fragments from hybrid combinations of Jilin 38 x EXP (which had obvious yield advantages) and their parents. In addition, we compared the homology of these.. Read More»

Genetic variability of Brazilian Indian landraces of Arachis hypogaea L.
Authors: F.O. Freitas, M.C. Moretzsohn, J.F.M. Valls
The Kayabi Indians who inhabit the Xingu Indigenous Park, located in West Central Brazil, have grown and managed peanuts for a long time. A great number of landraces are being maintained by these tribes and some of this germplasm has morphological traits that exceed the variation described in the taxonomic literature. Here, we..

Comprehensive analysis of patched domain-containing genes reveals a unique evolutionary pattern
Authors: Y. Zhong, L.J. Gu*, X.G. Sun, S.H. Yang and X.H. Zhang
Patched domain-containing genes are members of a small family originally identified in Drosophila. A common feature of transmembrane patched domain-containing proteins is their function in the transport of sterols, sterol-modified proteins, and lipids. Recently, an expansion phenomenon of patched domain-containing gen.. Read More»

Genetic bottlenecks in Turkish okra germplasm and utility of iPBS retrotransposon markers for genetic diversity assessment
Authors: M. Y�±ld�±z, M. Ko�§ak and F.S. Baloch
Lack of requisite genetic variation in Turkish okra has necessitated the use of different types of markers for estimating the genetic diversity and identifying the source of variation. Transposable elements, present abundantly in plant genomes, generate genomic diversity through their replication and are thus an excellent source of molecular markers. We h.. Read More»

Systematic review of noninvasive prenatal diagnosis for abnormal chromosome genetic diseases using free fetal DNA in maternal plasma
Authors: H. Yang, H.B. Xu, T.T. Liu and X.L. He
We evaluated the system accuracy of noninvasive prenatal diagnosis for abnormal chromosome genetic diseases using cell-free fetal DNA in maternal plasma. Previous studies were searched in the MEDLINE database using the following keywords: “prenatal” and “aneuploidy” and “noninvasive or non-invasive” and “maternal&.. Read More»
