Genetic dissimilarity of putative gamma-ray-induced �Preciosa - AAAB-Pome type� banana (Musa sp) mutants based on multivariate statistical analysis
Authors: R.K.N. Pestana, E.P. Amorim, C.F. Ferreira, V.B.O. Amorim, L.S. Oliveira, C.A.S. Ledo and S.O. Silva
Bananas are among the most important fruit crops worldwide, being cultivated in more than 120 countries, mainly by small-scale producers. However, short-stature high-yielding bananas presenting good agronomic characteristics are hard to find. Consequently, wind continues to damage a great number of plantations each year, leadi..

A novel DDX5 gene in the freshwater crayfish Cherax quadricarinatus is highly expressed during ontogenesis and spermatogenesis
Authors: D.-A. Fang, Q. Wang1, J. Wang, L. He, L.-H. Liu and Y. Wang
The freshwater crayfish Cherax quadricarinatus, originally from Australia, is an invasive species that is also widely used in aquaculture. DEAD-box helicase family genes are found throughout evolution and encode RNA-binding proteins. The human DDX5 (p68) is important for normal cell growth, differentiation and proliferation. W..

Cloning and sequence analysis of an actin gene in aloe
Authors: S.S. Wen, D.W. He, C.M. Liao, J. Li, G.Q. Wen, and X.H. Liu
Aloe (Aloe spp), containing abundant polysaccharides and numerous bioactive ingredients, has remarkable medical, ornamental, calleidic, and edible values. In the present study, the total RNA was extracted from aloe leaf tissue. The isolated high-quality RNA was further used to clone actin gene by using reverse transcr.. Read More»

Lipopolysaccharide and �²-1,3-glucan binding protein in the hard clam (Meretrix meretrix): Molecular characterization and expression analysis
Authors: S.X. Liu, Z.H. Qi, J.J. Zhang, C.B. He, X.G. Gao and H.J. Li
Pattern recognition molecules play an important role in innate immunity by recognizing conserved molecular patterns that are present on the surface of invading microorganisms. In this study, a lipopolysaccharide and β-1,3-glucan binding protein (LGBP) gene was cloned from the hard clam Meretrix meretrix .. Read More»

Genome-wide identification, phylogeny and expression analysis of the lipoxygenase gene family in cucumber
Authors: S.Q. Liu, X.H. Liu and L.W. Jiang
Plant lipoxygenase (LOX) is involved in growth and developmental control processes, through the biosynthesis of regulatory molecules and defense responses to pathogens, wounding and stress. To date, few LOX proteins and little tissue expression profiling have been reported in detail for cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.). Recent co.. Read More»

Functional characterization and signal transduction ability of nucleotide-binding site-leucine-rich repeat resistance genes in plants
Authors: R.K. Joshi and S. Nayak
Pathogen infection in plants is often limited by a multifaceted defense response triggered by resistance genes. The most prevalent class of resistance proteins includes those that contain a nucleotide-binding site-leucine-rich repeat (NBS-LRR) domain. Over the past 15 years, more than 50 novel NBS-LRR class resistance genes ha.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of genetic variability in bacteria with �²-hemolytic and antifungal activity isolated from the rhizosphere of Medicago truncatula plants
Authors: J.E. Hern�¡ndez-Salmer�³n, C.M. Prieto-Barajas, E. Valencia-Cantero, G. Moreno-Hagelsieb and G. Santoyo
In the present study, we analyzed the frequency of hemolytic and antifungal activities in bacterial isolates from the rhizosphere of Medicago truncatula plants. Of the 2000 bacterial colonies, 96 showed β-hemolytic activities (frequency, 4.8 x 10-2). Hemolytic isolates were analyzed for their genetic diversity by.. Read More»

Changes in expression of specific miRNAs and their target genes in repair of exercise-induced muscle injury in rats
Authors: W. Wu
The effects of muscle-specific miRNAs in the repair of exercise-induced muscle injury were investigated by examining the changes in their expression and that of the target genes in rat skeletal muscle. Two-month-old agile male rats were randomly divided into exercise and static control groups, the former subdivided into 0-h, 6-h, 12-h, 1-day, 2-day, 3-day.. Read More»

An improved DNA marker technique for genetic characterization using RAMP-PCR with high-GC primers
Authors: C.L. Wei, J.L. Cheng, M.A. Khan, L.Q. Yang, S. Imani, H.C. Chen and J.J. Fu
Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) is a widely used molecular marker technique. As traditional RAPD has poor reproducibility and productivity, we previously developed an improved RAPD method (termed RAMP-PCR), which increased the reproducibility, number of bands, and efficiency of studies on polymorphism. To further develop the efficiency of this met.. Read More»
