Genetic diversity based on SSR analysis of the cultured snakehead fish, Channa argus, (Channidae) in China
Authors: S.-R. Zhu, J.-L. Li, N. Xie, L.-M. Zhu, Q. Wang and G.-H. Yue
The snakehead fish Channa argus is an important food fish in China. We identified six microsatellite loci for C. argus. These six microsatellite loci and four other microsatellite markers were used to analyze genetic diversity in four cultured populations of C. argus (SD, JX, HN, and ZJ) and determin.. Read More»

Movement patterns and genetic diversity of wild and reintroduced common dormice, Muscardinus avellanarius....
Authors: D.M. Naim, S. Telfer, S. Tatman, S. Bird, S.J. Kemp and P.C. Watts
Movement is an important life history trait that can have an impact on local adaptation, and other evolutionary phenomena. We used a combination of nestbox survey data and genetic techniques (genotyping at 10 microsatellite loci) to quantify patterns of movement in common dormice Muscardinus avellanarius at two distinct sites ..

Genetic diversity and population structure of wild Dipsacus asperoides in China as indicated by ISSR markers
Authors: D.X. Chen, L.Y. Li, X. Zhang, Y. Wang and Z. Zhang
In order to evaluate the genetic diversity and genetic structure of wild Dipsacus asperoides, we surveyed genetic polymorphisms in 288 individuals from 12 populations using ISSR. A total of 240 bands were amplified, among which 190 were polymorphic loci. At the species level, genetic diversity was found to be abundant: PPB.. Read More»

Localization of HSP single-copy genes by inexpensive, permanent non-fluorescent in situ hybridization on meiotic chromosomes of the grasshopper Schistocerca pallens (Acrididae)
Authors: T.T. Rieger, S.V. Oliveira-Silva, I.A. PachĂ?ÂȘco, B.S. Chagas, J.F. Santos
There have been many studies on Schistocerca gregaria and Locusta migratoria, which are important grasshopper pests in many parts of the world. However, the main pest grasshopper species in Brazil, S. pallens, Rhammatocerus schistocercoides and Stiphra robusta, are very poorly characterized genetically. We adapted a permanent .. Read More»

Inheritance and quantitative trait locus analysis of low-light tolerance in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.)
Authors: D.D. Li, Z.W. Qin, H. Lian, G.B. Yu, Y.Y. Sheng and F. Liu
The low-light tolerance index was investigated in a set of 123 F2:3 lines during the seedling stage across 2 seasons, and the heredity of low-light tolerance was assessed via different genetic analysis methods. The results of the classical analysis showed that low-light tolerance is controlled by an additive-dominant polygene, and the polygenic inheritanc.. Read More»

Expression profiles uncover the relevance between colony stimulating factor-mediated signaling pathways in liver cells and partial hepatectomy-induced hepatic regeneration
Authors: X.G. Chen and C.S. Xu
Colony stimulating factors (CSF) have been considered to modulate liver regeneration (LR) after partial hepatectomy (PH) at the tissue level. However, it remains unclear about precise mechanism of action of CSF in regeneration at the cellular level. Therefore, eight rat liver cell types were isolated by Percoll gradient centri.. Read More»

Development of EST-SSR markers related to disease resistance and their application in genetic diversity and evolution analysis in Gossypium
Authors: B.H. Wang, P. Rong, X.X. Cai, W. Wang, X.Y. Zhu, C.J. Chen, Y.Y. Xu, X.J. Huang, Z.M. Zhuang and C.B. Wang
Cotton (Gossypium spp) is one of the most economically important crops that provide the world’s most widely used natural fiber. Diseases such as Fusarium wilt and particularly Verticillium wilt seriously affect cotton production, and thus breeding for disease resistance is one of the most important goals of cotton breeding programs. Currently, poten.. Read More»

Identification of warm day and cool night conditions induced flowering-related genes in a Phalaenopsis orchid hybrid by suppression subtractive hybridization
Authors: D.M. Li, F.B. LĂ?Â?, G.F. Zhu, Y.B. Sun, Y.C. Xu, M.D. Jiang, J.W. Liu and Z. Wang
The influence of warm day and cool night conditions on induction of spikes in Phalaenopsis orchids has been studied with respect to photosynthetic efficiency, metabolic cycles and physiology. However, molecular events involved in spike emergence induced by warm day and cool night conditions are not clearly understood... Read More»

Genome-wide identification and characterization of the Dof gene family in Medicago truncatula
Authors: Y.J. Shu, L.L. Song, J. Zhang, Y. Liu and C.H. Guo
The DNA-binding one zinc finger (Dof) family is a classic plant-specific zinc-finger transcription factor family, which is involved in many important processes, including seed maturation and germination, plant growth and development, and light responses. Investigation of the Medicago truncatula genome revealed 42 putative Dof genes, each of which holds on.. Read More»

Comparative study of leptin and leptin receptor gene expression in different swine breeds
Authors: S.E. Georgescu, M.A. Manea, S. Dinescu and M. Costache
Leptin is an important regulator of appetite, energy metabolism, and reproduction and is mainly synthesized in the adipocytes and then secreted into the bloodstream. The leptin receptor was classified as type I cytokine receptor due to its structural homology with IL-6 receptors and the signaling pathways in which they are bot.. Read More»
