Breeding new seedless grape by means of in vitro embryo rescue
Authors: W. Ji, Z.-Q. Li, Q. Zhou, W.-K. Yao and Y.-J. Wang
This project aimed at breeding new seedless grape cultivars by embryo rescue through three hybridization methods: 1) using cross-breeding between seedless Vitis vinifera cultivars and wild Chinese Vitis spp; 2) crossing with two seedless cultivars, and 3) hybridization between grapes of different ploidy. Genotype, sampling times, and media were confirmed .. Read More»

Effect of lentivirus-mediated RNA interference of APC-Cdh1 expression on spinal cord injury in rats.
Authors: Y.-H. Qi, W.-L. Yao, C.-H. Zhang and Y.-Q. Guo
This study investigated cadherin-1 (Cdh1) expression in the sensorimotor cortex of rats after spinal cord injury (SCI). The repairing effect of Cdh1 was evaluated by silencing its expression with lentivirus-mediated RNAi. Twenty male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into a normal group and an operation group. Rat.. Read More»

A novel COMP mutation in an Inuit patient with pseudoachondroplasia and severe short stature
Authors: A.M. Elliott, P. Bocangel, M.H. Reed and C.R. Greenberg
Pseudoachondroplasia (PSACH) is an autosomal dominant skeletal dysplasia, generally identified clinically at two years of age due to decreased linear growth and a waddling gait. Radiographic features include small and irregular epiphyses, with metaphyseal changes of the long bones and characteristic vertebral changes. Mutation.. Read More»

Evaluation of polyvinyl alcohol for fatty acid supplementation in adipose tissue explant culture
Authors: Jose AAFBV, Gama MAS, Urban A, Merighe GK, Meirelles FV, Etchegaray MAL and Lanna DPD
Cultures of adipose tissue explants are a valuable tool for studying the intracellular mechanisms involving hormones and nutrients. However, testing how fatty acids affect cells requires a carrier molecule; bovine serum albumin (BSA) has been used for this purpose. However, contaminants can alter the cellular response. Our obj..

Role of ADH1B rs1229984 and ALDH2 rs671 gene polymorphisms in the development of Alzheimer�s disease
Authors: L. Ma and Z.N. Lu
In the present study, we investigated the association between ADH1B rs1229984 and ALDH2 rs671 polymorphisms and the development of Alzheimer’s disease in a Chinese population. Genotyping of the ADH1B rs1229984 and ALDH2 rs671 polymorphisms was carried out by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorph.. Read More»

Effects of using phenotypic means and genotypic values in GGE biplot analyses on genotype by environment studies on tropical maize (Zea mays)
Authors: I.S.C. Granato, R. Fritsche-Neto, M.D.V. Resende and F.F. Silva
The objective of this study was to examine the effects of the type and intensity of nutritional stress, and of the statistical treatment of the data, on the genotype x environment (G x E) interaction for tropical maize (Zea mays). For this purpose, 39 hybrid combinations were evaluated under low- and high-nitrogen and -phospho.. Read More»

Expressed sequenced tags from Lygus lineolaris (Hemiptera: Miridae), the tarnished plant bug
Authors: Allen ML
Expressed sequenced tags (ESTs) were prepared to establish a baseline for molecular genetic studies of the tarnished plant bug, Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois). The largest class of identifiable ESTs (15.2%) was from genes involved in cellular metabolic functions, including physiological processes. Twenty-seven ESTs (9... Read More»

Acid phosphatase activity distribution in salivary glands of triatomines (Heteroptera, Reduviidae, Triatominae)
Authors: Anhe ACB, Lima-Oliveira APM and Azeredo-Oliveira MTV
Acid phosphatase activity (Gömori technique) in salivary gland cells was investigated in adult insects (males and females) of four species of triatomines: Triatoma infestans, Panstrongylus megistus, Rhodnius neglectus, and Rhodnius prolixus. Binucleated cells with bulky and polyploidy nuclei were detected, with acid phosp.. Read More»
