Authors: C.S. Almeida-Pereira, A.V.C. Silva, R.P. Alves, R.B. Feitosa-Alcantara, M.F. Arrigoni-Blank, S.V. Alvares-Carvalho, T.S. Costa, L.A.S. White, V.S. Pinto, T.S. Sampaio and A.F. Blank
Brazil has about 300 Croton species in different types of vegetation. Croton tetradenius Baill., which is endemic to the Northeast region and predominant in the Caatinga vegetation, stands out among the several species of this genus. Considering the importance of knowing the genetic variability of a species, the objective of t.. Read More»

Molecular cloning and mRNA expression of a hepcidin gene from the spinyhead croaker, Collichthys lucidus
Authors: C. Sang, Y. Lin, K. Jiang, F. Zhang, W. Song
Antimicrobial peptides are important components that participate in host innate immune activities and play crucial roles in host defense against microbial invasion. Hepcidin is an antimicrobial peptide and iron-regulatory molecule that primarily functions in the liver. In the present study, we first obtained a full-length cDNA.. Read More»

A snapshot on prokaryotic diversity of the Solim�µes River basin (Amazon, Brazil)
Authors: D. Toyama, C.D. Santos-J�ºnior, L.T. Kishi, T.C.S. Oliveira, J.W. Garcia, H. Sarmento, F.P. Miranda and F. Henrique-Silva
The Amazon region has the largest hydrographic basin on the planet and âÂ?¨is well known for its huge biodiversity of plants and animals. However, âÂ?¨there is a lack of studies on aquatic microbial biodiversity in the âÂ?¨Solimões River, one of its main water courses. To investigate the âÂ?¨microbial biodiversi.. Read More»

Low prevalence of glucokinase gene mutations in gestational diabetic patients with good glycemic control
Authors: H.R. Frigeri, I.C.R. Santos, R.R. R�©a, A.C.R. Almeida, C.M.T. Fadel-Picheth, F.O. Pedrosa, E.M. Souza, F.G.M. Rego and G. Picheth
Glucokinase (GCK) plays a key role in glucose homeostasis. Gestational diabetes mellitus increases the risk of gestational complications in pregnant women and fetuses. We screened for mutations in coding and flanking regions of the GCK gene in pregnant women with or without gestational diabetes in a Brazilian population. A sam.. Read More»

Genetic parameters and path analysis in cowpea genotypes grown in the Cerrado/Pantanal ecotone
Authors: K.V. Lopes, P.E. Teodoro, F.A. Silva, M.T. Silva, R.L. Fernandes,T.C. Rodrigues, T.C. Faria and A.M. Corr�ªa
Estimating genetic parameters in plant breeding allows us to know the population potential for selecting and designing strategies that can maximize the achievement of superior genotypes. The objective of this study was to evaluate the genetic potential of a population of 20 cowpea genotypes by estimating genetic parameters and.. Read More»

Effect of ethylene treatment on phytochemical and ethylene-related gene expression during ripening in strawberry fruit Fragaria x ananassa cv. Camino Real
Authors: P.Z. Lopes,I.M. Fornazzari, A.T. Almeida, C.W. Galv�£o,R.M. Etto, J. Inaba, R.A. Ayub
In contrast to climacteric fruits, in which ethylene is known to be pivotal, the regulation of ripening in non-climacteric fruits is not well understood. The strawberry is a typical example of a non-climacteric fruit, which has been used as a model system of these types of fruit. In this study, the effect of exogenous ethephon.. Read More»

Production and genetic analysis of resynthesized Brassica napus from a B. rapa landrace from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and B. alboglabra
Authors: H.D. Liu*, Z.G. Zhao*, D.Z. Du, C.R. Deng and G. Fu
This study aimed to reveal the genetic and epigenetic variations involved in a resynthesized Brassica napus (AACC) generated from a hybridization between a B. rapa (AA) landrace and B. alboglabra (CC). Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP), methylation-sensitive amplified polymorphism, and the cDNA-AFLP technique were performed to detect changes b.. Read More»

Correlation analysis between the delayed rectifier potassium channel KCNE1 (G38S) polymorphism and atrial fibrillation among the senior Uygur population in Xinjiang
Authors: N. Wugeti, G. Yu-Jun, S. Juan, A. Mahemuti
Current resources to support genetic screening among the Uygur population in Xinjiang territory for atrial fibrillation (AF) have not been well established and large-scale epidemiological analyses are needed. Using patients from the Xinjiang Uygur population as subjects, and the delayed rectifier potassium channel KCNE1 and it.. Read More»

Milk yield persistency in Brazilian Gyr cattle based on a random regression model
Authors: R.J. Pereira, R.S. Verneque, P.S. Lopes, M.L. Santana Jr., M.R. Lagrotta, R.A. Torres, A.E. Vercesi Filho, M.A. Machado
With the objective of evaluating measures of milk yield persistency, 27,000 test-day milk yield records from 3362 first lactations of Brazilian Gyr cows that calved between 1990 and 2007 were analyzed with a random regression model. Random, additive genetic and permanent environmental effects were modeled using Legendre polyno.. Read More»
