Genetic control of the resistance of common beans to white mold using the reaction to oxalic acid
Authors: R.P. Antonio, J.B. Santos, T.P. Souza and F.F. Carneiro
The use of genetically resistant cultivars is the best method to reduce losses caused by white mold (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary). As the best known resistance sources are not adapted, the genetic control of white mold in the common bean must be understood to guide breeding more efficiently. The objective of the pr.. Read More»

DNA barcode information for the sugar cane moth borer Diatraea saccharalis
Authors: J.P. Bravo, J.L.C. Silva, R.E.F. Munhoz and M.A. Fernandez
We reviewed the use and relevance of barcodes for insect studies and investigated the barcode sequence of Diatraea saccharalis. This sequence has a high level of homology (99%) with the barcode sequence of the Crambidae (Lepidoptera). The sequence data can be used to construct relationships between species, allowing a multidis.. Read More»

Genetic characterization of Brazilian strains of Aspergillus flavus using DNA markers
Authors: P.P. Batista, J.F. Santos, N.T. Oliveira, A.P.D. Pires, C.M.S. Motta and E.A. Luna-Alves Lima
The Aspergillus genus belongs to a filamentous fungal group characterized by wide dispersion in the environment. Some species are associated with diseases, especially in immunocompromised patients, while others are of economical importance due to aflatoxin production or biotechnological applications. Its species identification.. Read More»

Population genetics analysis of Podocnemis sextuberculata (Testudines, Podocnemidae): lack of population structure in the central Amazon Basin
Authors: T.J. Silva, L.A.S. Monjel�³, M.N.S. Viana, J.C. Pezzuti, P.C.M. Andrade, R.C. Vogt and I.P. Farias
The chelonians are, in general, important for the economy of the traditional populations of the Amazon region, especially as a source of animal protein. Furthermore, sub-products, such as eggs and fat, are utilized in the manufacture of cosmetics, and the plastron and carapace are used in the manufacture of adornments. The fre.. Read More»

Association between expression of DNA mismatch repair genes and clinical features and prognosis of patients with radical resection of colon cancer
Authors: J.B. Wang, D.L. Ma, J.Y. Li, Q.D. Sun and Y.E. Liu
The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical significance of the expression of DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes in patients subjected to radical surgical removal of colon cancer, as well as their correlation with disease prognosis. Ninety stage II and III colon cancer patients who received laparoscopic radical resection of colon cancer at our hosp.. Read More»

Mutation in intron 5 of GTP cyclohydrolase 1 gene causes dopa-responsive dystonia (Segawa syndrome) in a Brazilian family
Authors: C.P. Souza, E.R. Valadares, A.L.C. Trindade, V.L. Rocha, L.R. Oliveira and A.L.B. Godard
Dopa-responsive dystonia (DRD), also known as Segawa syndrome or hereditary progressive dystonia with diurnal fluctuation, is clinically characterized by the occurrence of simultaneous or late Parkinsonism and by an excellent response to treatment with low doses of L-dopa. Diagnosis of DRD is essentially clinical. It is based .. Read More»

Evolution of the SEC1 gene in New World monkey lineages (Primates, Platyrrhini)
Authors: B.N. Borges, T.S. Paiva and M.L. Harada
The structure and evolution of the SEC1 gene were examined for the first time in New World primates of the genera Alouatta, Aotus, Ateles, Brachyteles, Callicebus, Callithrix, Cebus, Chiropotes, Lagothrix, Leontopithecus, Pithecia, Saguinus, and Saimiri. This gene has a high CG content (63.8%) and an estimated heterogeneous si.. Read More»

Expression of IL-1, IL-6, TNF-�±, and iNOS in pregnant women with periodontal disease
Authors: C.C.M. Otenio I. Fonseca M.F. Martins L.C. Ribeiro N.M.S.P. Assis A.P. Ferreira R.A. Ribeiro
Periodontal disease is one of the most prevalent oral diseases. An association between this disease and pregnancy has been suggested, but available findings are controversial. We evaluated the expression levels of interleukins (IL-1β and IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in pregnant women wit.. Read More»

Cloning of the nptII gene of Escherichia coli and construction of a recombinant strain harboring functional recA and nptII antibiotic resistance
Authors: S. Ghanem
In an attempt to clone the ORF of the nptII gene of Escherichia coli K12 (ATCC 10798), two degenerate primers were designed based on the nptII sequence of its Tn5 transposon. The nptII ORF was placed under the control of the E. coli hybrid trc promoter, in the pKK388-1 vector, transformed into E. coli DH5a ΔrecA (recombi.. Read More»

Molecular cloning and characterization of two novel NAC genes from Mikania micrantha (Asteraceae)
Authors: D.M. Li J.H. Wang S.L. Peng G.F. Zhu F.B. LÃ?Â?
NAC proteins, which are plant-specific transcription factors, have been identified to play important roles in plant response to stresses and in plant development. The full-length cDNAs that encode 2 putative NAC proteins, designated as MmATAF1 and MmNAP, respectively, were cloned from Mikania micrantha by rapid amplification of cDNA ends. The full-length cDN..
