Authors: F. Bibi, I. Ullah, S.A. Alvi, S.A. Bakhsh, M. Yasir, A.A.K. Al-Ghamdi and E.I. Azhar
Marine bacteria have been exceptional sources of halotolerant enzymes since decades. The aim of the present study was to isolate bacteria producing hydrolytic enzymes from seven different mangroves collected from the coastal area of Thuwal, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and to further screen them for other enzymatic and antifungal act..

Differential gene expression in the peripheral blood of Chinese Sanhe cattle exposed to severe cold stress
Authors: Q. Xu, Y.C. Wang, R. Liu, L.F. Brito, L. Kang, Y. Yu, D.S. Wang, H.J. Wu and A. Liu
Livestock is an important food resource for the inhabitants of cold regions, such as northern Asia and alpine regions, where agriculture is limited. In these regions, cold stress largely affects livestock production, thereby reducing the productivity and survival of animals. Despite the importance of breeding cold-tolerant ani.. Read More»

De novo transcriptome assembly of sugarcane leaves submitted to prolonged water-deficit stress
Authors: A.A. Belesini, F.M.S. Carvalho, B.R. Telles, G.M. de Castro, P.F. Giachetto, J.S. Vantini, S.D. Carlin, J.O. Cazetta, D.G. Pinheiro and M.I.T. Ferro
Sugarcane production is strongly influenced by drought, which is a limiting factor for agricultural productivity in the world. In this study, the gene expression profiles obtained by de novo assembly of the leaf transcriptome of two sugarcane cultivars that differ in their physiological response to water deficit were evaluated..

Identification of reference genes for RT-qPCR analysis in peach genotypes with contrasting chilling requirements
Authors: N. Marini, C.B. Bevilacqua, M.V. B?¼ttow, M.C.B. Raseira and S. Bonow
Selecting and validating reference genes are the first steps in studying gene expression by reverse transcriptase-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The present study aimed to evaluate the stability of five reference genes for the purpose of normalization when studying gene expression in various cultivars of Pru.. Read More»

Genetic divergence among corn hybrids and combining ability for agronomic and bromatological traits of silage
Authors: E. Gralak, M.V. Faria, A.S.T. Figueiredo, D.A. Rizzardi, M. Neumann, M.C. Mendes, C.A. Scapim and S. Galbeiro
We assessed the impact of genetic divergence and the ability to combine corn hybrids used for the production of silage on the agronomic and bromatological traits of silage quality. We evaluated 18 corn hybrids used as genitors in a circulant diallel scheme in which each genitor hybrid participated in 9 hybrid combinations, and.. Read More»

SETD5 gene variant associated with mild intellectual disability - a case report
Authors: E. Stur, L.A. Soares and I.D. Louro
The recent advent of exome sequencing has allowed for the identification of pathogenic gene variants responsible for a variety of diseases that were previously clinically diagnosed, with no underlying molecular etiology. Among these conditions, intellectual disability is a prevalent heterogeneous condition, presenting itself i.. Read More»

Expressed sequence tags related to nitrogen metabolism in maize inoculated with Azospirillum brasilense
Authors: L. Pereira-Defilippi, E.M. Pereira, F.M. Silva and G.V. Moro
The relative quantitative real-time expression of two expressed sequence tags (ESTs) codifying for key enzymes in nitrogen metabolism in maize, nitrate reductase (ZmNR), and glutamine synthetase (ZmGln1-3) was performed for genotypes inoculated with Azospirillum brasilense. Two commercial single-cross hybrids (AG7098 and 2B707.. Read More»

Restoration over time and sustainability of Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi
Authors: S.V. ?lvares-Carvalho, R. Silva-Mann, I.B. Gois, M.F.V. Melo, A.S. Oliveira, R.A. Ferreira and L.J. Gomes
The success of recovery programs on degraded areas is dependent on the genetic material to be used, which should present heterozygosity and genetic diversity in native and recovered populations. This study was carried out to evaluate the model efficiency to enable the recovery of a degraded area of the Lower São Francis.. Read More»

Cleaning cassava genotypes infected with cassava frogskin disease via in vitro shoot tip culture
Authors: M.J.S. Carvalho, E.J. Oliveira, A.S. Souza, J.S. Pereira, M.S.A.S. Diamantino and S.A.S. Oliveira
This study aimed to develop a methodology for eliminating cassava frogskin disease (CFSD) from in vitro shoot tip culture by associating thermotherapy and tetracycline. Cuttings from different accessions (BGM0232, BGM0315, BGM0464, BGM584, BGM0841, and BGM1342), infected with CFSD according to visual inspection of the disease .. Read More»
