Authors: F.B. Souza-Sobreira, G.B. Souza, C.C.G. Rosado, F.D. Miranda, T.C.B. Soares, A.B.P.L. Gontijo
Bromeliads are greatly represented in the Atlantic Forest, although many species are threatened with extinction owing to habitat fragmentation and intense extraction for ornamental purposes. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct studies generating knowledge about genetic diversity and the distribution of this diversity among a.. Read More»

Genetic polymorphisms in TLR4, CR1 and Duffy genes are not associated with malaria resistance in patients from Baixo Amazonas region, Brazil
Authors: S.C. Soares1,4, K. Ab�©-Sandes5,6, V.B. Nascimento Filho4, F.M.F. Nunes2 and W.A. Silva Jr.2,3
The main purpose of this research was to analyze the relation of the genetic polymorphisms frequently expressed by antigen-presenting cells, erythrocytes and malaria susceptibility/resistance with the human malaria infection cases. The sample used consisted of 23 Plasmodium vivax (Pv)- and P. falciparum (Pf)-infected patients, and 21 healthy individuals a.. Read More»

Molecular characterization and tissue expression profile analysis of the porcine JAZF1 gene
Authors: H. Yang, J. He, X.L. Xu, J. Jiang, C.Q. He and H.M. Ma
A recent study indicated that the JAZF1 gene was related to lipid metabolism by regulating the level of gene expression in humans and mice. In order to investigate whether JAZF1 gene expression was associated with fat deposition in pig, we cloned the full-coding region of the JAZF1 gene (GenBank accession No. KF307636) from porcine longissimus dorsi. Resu.. Read More»

A set of novel microsatellite markers developed for an economically important tree, Dracontomelon duperreanum, in China
Authors: Z.F. Wang, H.L. Cao, L.F. Wu, Y. Guo, Q.M. Mei, M. Li, Y. Wang and Z.M. Wang
Dracontomelon duperreanum, the most representative species of the family Anacardiaceae, is an important multipurpose tree in China and Vietnam. However, no genetic diversity studies have been reported on this species. In this study, we identified 11 microsatellite markers for D. duperreanum by using the restriction-site-associ.. Read More»

Backcross assisted by microsatellite markers in common bean
Authors: L.K. Oliveira1,3, L.C. Melo2, C. Brondani3, M.J.D. Peloso2 and R.P.V. Brondani3
The objectives of the present study were to monitor the effect of backcrossing through microsatellite markers and to compare different marker assisted selection strategies. Four populations were developed using donor parents resistant to the bean golden mosaic virus and, for all crosses, only individuals resistant to the bean golden mosaic virus were back.. Read More»

Genetic structure and diversity in the Dioscorea cayenensis/D. rotundata complex revealed by morphological and isozyme markers
Authors: E.A. Bressan, T. Briner Neto M.I. Zucchi R.J. Rabelloand E.A. Veasey
Of the 600 known yam species, only 10 are utilized as food, and the Dioscorea cayenensis/D. rotundata species complex is among the most cultivated. In Brazil, these species are commercially cultivated in the northeast region and are cultivated in the south and southeast regions as subsistence crops by traditional agriculturist.. Read More»

Conjugated linoleic acid-induced milk fat reduction associated with depressed expression of lipogenic genes in lactating Holstein mammary glands
Authors: L.Q. Han K. Pang H.J. Li S.B. Zhu L.F. Wang Y.B. Wang G.Q. Yang G.Y. Yang
The efficacy of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) in diet supplements for milk fat reduction is well documented in several species. However, the mechanisms by which fatty acids regulate mammary lipogenesis remain largely unknown, especially with regard to gene expression of enzyme and regulators. In this study, 8 Holstein dairy cows in their mid-lactation pe.. Read More»

Two novel SNPs of the 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase gene associated with growth and meat quality traits in the chicken
Authors: Y. Wei S.K. Zhu S. Zhang R.L. Han Y.D. Tian G.R. Sun X.T. Kang
The enzyme 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR) is rate-limiting for metabolism of cholesterol; it plays an important role in endogenous cholesterol biosynthesis. We used DNA sequencing technology and created restriction site PCR-RFLP to detect HMGCR SNPs in an F2 resource population of Gushi chicken and Anka broilers. We found a G/T mu.. Read More»

Genetic variation among quince(Cydonia oblonga Mill.) genotypes sampled from the Coruh valley in Turkey
Authors: E. Orhan G. Nardemir, G. Agarand S. Ercisli
Turkey has very rich quince genetic resources, and the country currently dominates world quince production. In particular, the northeastern part of the country has notable Cydonia oblonga Mill. germplasm. Authenticating the identity of germplasm resources of C. oblonga Mill. would be of great value for breeding practices. In t.. Read More»

Intraspecific differentiation of Hancornia speciosa revealed by simple sequence repeat and random amplified polymorphic DNA markers
Authors: C.A. Nogueira, N.B. Stafuzza,T.P. Ribeiro, A.D.L. Prado, I.P.P. Meneze, N. Peixoto, P.J. Gon�§alves,L.M. Almeida
Hancornia speciosa, popularly known as mangabeira, is a fruit tree native to the Brazilian Cerrado that shows great economic potential, due to its multiple uses. Intraspecific classification of this species is difficult because it shows high morphological diversity. An early study of the species reported that there are six bot.. Read More»
