Indirect selection for resistance to ear rot and leaf diseases in maize lines using biplots
Authors: G.S. Pereira, R.B. Camargos, M. Balestre, R.G. Von Pinho and W.M. C. Melo
Leaf disease and ear rot have caused reductions in maize yield in Brazil and other producer countries. Therefore, the aims of this study were to analyze the association between husked ear yield and the severity of maize white spot, gray leaf spot, helminthosporium, and ear rot caused by Fusarium verticillioides and Diplodia maydis using biplots in a mixed..

Association between the epithelial cadherin -160C/A gene polymorphism and diffuse gastric cancer risk: a meta-analysis.
Authors: X.W. Chen, J.X. Sun, Z.N. Wang, P. Gao, Y.X. Song, J.F. Cao, B. Liu and H.M. Xu
Several previous studies have investigated whether the -160C/A epithelial cadherin promoter polymorphism confers an increased risk of diffuse gastric cancer (DGC), but conflicting results have been reported. To explore further the association of this polymorphism with DGC susceptibility, we performed an extensive search of rel.. Read More»

Tissue-specific adaptive levels of glucocorticoid receptor alpha mRNA and their relationship with insulin resistance
Authors: R.B. Castro C.A. Longui C.D.C. Faria T.S. Silva F. Richeti M.N. Rocha M.R. Melo W.L. Pereira E.G. Chamlian L.A. Rivetti
Insulin resistance is an underlying cause of metabolic changes associated with cardiovascular diseases. Glucocorticoids are known determinant factors of insulin resistance. We quantified glucocorticoid receptor alpha (GRÃ?±) mRNA and 11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11Ã?²-HSD1) mRNA in various tissues of 35 patients with previously established .. Read More»

Cytogenetic analysis and description of the sexual chromosome determination system ZZ/ZW of species of the fish genus Serrapinnus (Characidae, Cheirodontinae)
Authors: Santi-Rampazzo AP, Nishiyama PB, Ferreira PEB and Martins-Santos IC
Four populations of Serrapinnus notomelas and one population of Serrapinnus sp.1, both belonging to the subfamily Cheirodontinae, were analyzed by Giemsa and silver nitrate impregnation techniques. We found 2n = 52 chromosomes for all populations, with interspecific differences in the karyotype formula; S. notomelas showed 16m.. Read More»

Recombinant expression and characterization of a cysteine peptidase from Xanthomonas citri subsp citri
Authors: A. Soares-Costa R.S. Silveira M.T.M. Novo M.F.M. Alves A.K. Carmona J. Belasque Jr. F. Henrique-Silva
Xanthomonas citri subsp citri (Xac) is the bacterium responsible for citrus canker disease in citrus plants. The aim of this study was to describe the recombinant expression, purification, and characterization of a cysteine peptidase from Xac strain 306, which is a candidate for involvement in the pathogenicity of this bacterium. The gene was cloned and expr.. Read More»

Effects of analgesia methods on serum IL-6 and IL-10 levels after cesarean delivery
Authors: Z.-M. Xing, Z.-Q. Zhang, W.-S. Zhang and Y.-F. Liu
This study aimed to discuss the effects of 3 different analgesia methods on serum IL-6 and IL-10 in patients after cesarean delivery. Thirty full-term women, who underwent cesarean delivery, were randomly assigned to 3 analgesia groups (10 cases each) as follows: intramuscular injection of 100 mg pethidine (NC group), patient controlled epidural analgesia..

Development and characterization of DNA microsatellite primers for buriti (Mauritia flexuosa L.f.)Development and characterization of DNA microsatellite primers for buriti (Mauritia flexuosa L.f.)
Authors: Development and characterization of DNA microsatellite primers for buriti (Mauritia flexuosa L.f.)
Mauritia flexuosa L. (Arecaceae) is a palm tree species known as buriti that occurs in the Cerrado biome. It is characteristic of the vereda, a typical ecosystem of central Brazil. In this phytophysiognomy, M. flexuosa and other groups of arboreal-herbaceous species develop in open fields with very humid soils. M. flexuosa can be found in forest borders a.. Read More»

Transcriptome analysis of Arabidopsis seedlings responses to high concentrations of glucose
Authors: L. Han, J.L. Li, M. Jin and Y.H. Su
Sugars acting as fuel energy or as signaling molecules play important roles in plant growth and development. Although sugars associated with early seedling development have been analyzed in detail, few studies have examined the effect of sugar on genome-wide gene transcription. To analyze the role of glucose on the genomic level, we examined the response .. Read More»

Evaluation of genetic diversity in a natural rosewood population (Dalbergia nigra Vell. Allemao ex Benth.) using RAPD markers
Authors: Juchum FS, Leal JB, Santos LM, Almeida MP, Ahnert D and Correa RX
Dalbergia nigra (rosewood) is a long-lived leguminous species, which is endemic to the Brazilian Atlantic forest. Because of the high economic value of its wood, this species has been over-explored in recent years. Currently, rosewood is included in the IUCN Red List as vulnerable. We examined the genetic diversity of 87 speci.. Read More»

Next-generation sequencing identification and characterization of microsatellite markers in Aconitum austrokoreense Koidz., an endemic and endangered medicinal plant of Korea
Authors: Y.-E. Yun, J.-N. Yu, G.H. Nam, S.-A. Ryu, S. Kim, K. Oh and C.E. Lim
We used next-generation sequencing to develop 9 novel microsatellite markers in Aconitum austrokoreense, an endemic and endangered medicinal plant in Korea. Owing to its very limited distribution, over-harvesting for traditional medicinal purposes, and habitat loss, the natural populations are dramatically declining in Korea. All novel microsatellite mark.. Read More»
