Authors: M. Ipek, A. Ipek, M. Seker and M.K. Gul
The purpose of this research was to characterize an olive core collection using some agronomic characters and simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers and to determine SSR markers associated with the content of fatty acids in olive oil. SSR marker analysis demonstrated the presence of a high amount of genetic variation between the olive cultivars analyzed. A UPG.. Read More»

Lentinan depresses 3T3-L1 fat cell formation by inhibiting PPAR�³/AKT signaling pathway
Authors: D.G. Li, J.L. Li, D.Q. Sun, X.B. Sun, X.G. Sun and Q. Liu
We investigated the mechanism of the effect of lentinan on 3T3-L1 fat cell formation by inhibiting the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARg)/protein kinase B (AKT) signaling pathway. 3T3-L1 fat cells were treated with 80 mM lentinan with or without the PPARg activator, 100 mM rosiglitazone for 24 h. Reverse transcription-polymerase chai.. Read More»

Tobacco serine/threonine protein kinase gene NrSTK enhances black shank resistance
Authors: Y.-L. Gao, B.-W. Wang, Z.-L. Xu, M.-Y. Li, Z.-B. Song, W.-Z. Li and Y.-P. Li
serine/threonine protein kinase gene (NrSTK) was cloned from Nicotiana repanda based on the sequence of a previously isolated resistance gene analog (RGA). Expression of RGA was induced by challenge with the pathogen black shank. The NrSTK gene was predicted to encode a protein kinase that contained an ATP binding site at residues 41-69 and a serine/threo.. Read More»

Genome wide selection in Citrus breeding
Authors: I.B. Gois, A. Bor�©m, M. Cristofani-Yaly, M.D.V. de Resende, C.F. Azevedo, M. Bastianel, V.M. Novelli2and M.A. Machado
Genome wide selection (GWS) is essential for the genetic improvement of perennial species such as Citrus because of its ability to increase gain per unit time and to enable the efficient selection of characteristics with low heritability. This study assessed GWS efficiency in a population of Citrus and compared it with selecti.. Read More»

Selection and molecular identification of fungal isolates that produce xylanolytic enzymes
Authors: M. Alvarez-Navarrete, G.E. Reyna LÃ?³pez, A. Flores-GarcÃ?Âa, R. LÃ?³pez GÃ?³mez and M.M. MartÃ?Ânez-Pacheco
Xylan is a heteropolysaccharide and its complete hydrolysis involves a complex set of xylanolytic enzymes. Fungal xylanases have been widely used in the holocellulose industry to obtain by-products or for its elimination. The aim of this study was to select and identify filamentous fungi from different ecosystems that produce extracellular xylanases showi.. Read More»

Among the diseases affecting banana (Musa sp), yellow Sigatoka, caused by the fungal pathogen Mycosphaerella musicola Leach, is considered one of the most important in Brazil, causing losses throughout the year. Understanding the genetic structure of pathogen populations will provide insight into the life history of pathogens, including the evolutionary p.. Read More»

Insights about the genetic diversity and population structure of an offshore group of common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in the Mid-Atlantic
Authors: C.S. Castilho, F. Pedone-Valdez, F. Bertuol, P. Fruet, R.C. Genoves, J.C. Di Tullio, G. Caon, L.S. Hoffmann and T.R.O. Freitas
Although the genus Tursiops has a worldwide distribution and is globally well-studied, some dolphin populations continue to face high risks of decline. Hence, it is necessary to assess the genetic diversity and structure of this genus to properly assess its conservation status and to implement appropriate management actions. In Brazil, genetic studies on .. Read More»

Impact of citrate pretreatment on ventricular arrhythmia and myocardial capase-3 expression in ischemia/reperfusion injury
Authors: Q. Lu, Z.G. Li1,, N. Zhou, Z.G. Gong, J.Q. Jiang, Z.N. Chen, Q.J. Jiang, Y. Peng and S.F. Ding
Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury often triggers ventricular arrhythmia. Citrate binds calcium ions, forming a soluble calcium citrate complex that may reduce I/R injury by affecting calcium ion concentration. We tested the effects of citrate pretreatment on ventricular heart rate and related factors in a rat I/R model. Fifty .. Read More»

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a multifactorial disease with possible genetic predisposition and involvement of various environmental factors. Several candidate genes have been reported as potentially associated with this lung disease. The glutathione S-transferase P1 gene (GSTP1) was proposed to be involved i.. Read More»

Characterization of microsatellite markers for the Restinga Antwren, Formicivora littoralis (Thamnophilidae), an endangered bird endemic to Brazil
Authors: F.G. Chaves, M.B. Vecchi, M.S. Webster and M.A.S. Alves
Molecular markers are important tools in determining parentage, gene flow, and the genetic structure of species. In the case of rare, endemic, and/or threatened species, these markers can be used to understand key ecological questions and support conservation actions. We developed seven microsatellite markers for the only bird endemic to the Restinga ecos.. Read More»
