Authors: L.C. Silva, R.O. Batista, R.S.R. Anjos, M.H. Souza, P.C.S. Carneiro, T.L.P.O. Souza, E.G. Barros and J.E.S. Carneiro
Recombinant inbred lines (RILs) are a valuable resource for building genetic linkage maps. The presence of genetic variability in the RILs is essential for detecting associations between molecular markers and loci controlling agronomic traits of interest. The main goal of this study was to quantify the genetic diversity of a common beanRIL population deri.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of the papaya MADS-box E-class genes, CpMADS1 and CpMADS3, and a TM6 lineage gene CpMADS2
Authors: M.-J. Lee, W.-J. Yang, C.-T. Chiu, J.-J. Chen, F.-C. Chen and L.-S. Chang
Papaya (Carica papaya L.) plants are polygamous, with female, male, and hermaphroditic flowers. To understand the roles of MADS-box genes in flower development and sex determination, we cloned cDNAs of E-class genes CpMADS1 and CpMADS3 and a TM6 lineage of the B-class gene CpMADS2 from young..

Association of the TNF-�± +489 G/A polymorphism with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease risk in Asians: meta-analysis
Authors: K. Cui, X.Y. Ge and H.L. Ma
The association between the TNF-α +489 G/A polymorphism and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains controversial because of small group size and varied design among different studies. In the present study, a meta-analysis was conducted to assess the association between the +489 G/A polymorphism and COPD risk. A comprehensive search was.. Read More»

Flaxseed oil supplementation alters the expression of inflammatory-related genes in dogs
Authors: D. Purushothaman, W.Y. Brown, B.A. Vanselow, K. Quinn and S.-B. Wu
Long chain n-3 fatty acids are beneficial to mammals because of their anti-inflammatory role. However, whether flaxseed oil, which is rich in short chain n-3 fatty acids, has such a role, it has not been extensively examined. This study investigated the supplementation of flaxseed oil on the regulation of gen.. Read More»

Evidence of balancing selection in multiple indigenous chicken populations
Authors: S. Arlud, G.X. E and S.C. Zeng
Microsatellite DNA markers, which are assumed to drift, have been widely used to assess genetic diversity in all major domestic animal species. These markers provide insight into the arrival and dispersion history of a species, with regard to their content or management history. However, no direct evidence supports current standard microsatellite markers .. Read More»

Evaluation of genetic variability in in vitro sodium azide-induced Dendrobium �Earsakul� mutants
Authors: A. Wannajindaporn, O. Poolsawat, W. Chaowiset and P.A. Tantasawat
In vitro mutagenesis of Dendrobium ‘Earsakul’ was carried out by incubating the protocorm-like bodies in 0-5 mM sodium azide for 1 h. Twenty-eight putative mutants were evaluated for genetic variability compared to untreated control plants using inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) analysis. Polymo.. Read More»

Expression of the porcine lipoic acid synthase (LIAS) gene in Escherichia coli
Authors: W.F. Lu, J.J. Cao, Y.J. Guo, K. Zhong, G.M. Zha, L.F. Wang and G.Y. Yang
Lipoic acid synthase, which exists primarily in mitochondria, participates in the biosynthesis of intrinsic lipoic acid. The lipoic acid synthase gene in pig is known as LIAS. To further investigate the biological functions of the protein that is encoded by LIAS, we cloned the open read frame of porcine LIAS (GenBank No. JN797612.1) into.. Read More»

Genetic variation in and spatial structure of natural populations of Dipterocarpus alatus (Dipterocarpaceae) determined using single sequence repeat markers
Authors: N.M. Tam, V.D. Duy, N.M. Duc, V.D. Giap and B.T.T. Xuan
Dipterocarpus alatus (Dipterocarpaceae) is widely distributed in lowland forests in central and southern Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Philippines, Thailand, and India. Due to over-exploitation and habitat destruction, the species is now threatened. The genetic variation within and among populations of D. alat.. Read More»

Development of microsatellite markers and genetic diversity analysis for Pelodiscus sinensis
Authors: T. Li, J. Zhao, W. Li, Y. Shi, X.Y. Hong and X.P. Zhu,
Pelodiscus sinensis is a common freshwater soft-shell turtle found in China, and is an important aquaculture species. In this study, 20 polymorphic microsatellite primers were developed from the transcriptome. The genetic diversity of three populations of P. sinensis was evaluated, using 72 individuals. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 3 to 26... Read More»

Effect of karst rocky desertification on soil fungal communities in Southwest China
Authors: P.C. Wang, B.T. Mo, Y. Chen, Q.F. Zeng and L.B. Wang
Karst mountainous ecosystems are associated with karst rocky desertification (KRD), which can greatly impact soil structure and function. Despite the importance of soil microbes as a major factor maintaining ecosystem stability, we know little about the effect on soil fungal communities of KRD in karst regions. We investigated this relationship across a g.. Read More»
