Synonymous Variant of ACE Gene (rs4343) is Coupled with Early Age at Onset and Diminished Diabetic Duration in South Indian Diabetic Nephropathy Patients
Authors: S. Babi Heera, Umme Najiya Mahwish, Fazul Rahman, Sayeeduddin S, Sree Bhushan Raju , Parveen Jahan
Diabetic nephropathy (T2DN) is a major micro vascular complication associated with type-2 diabetes (T2DM). Abnormally active Renin Angiotensin System pathway is shown to influence the development of T2DN and the inter-individual variation with respect to ACE levels, a key enzyme in this pathway partly dependent on the genetic variants of ACE..

Digital image analysis to quantify genetic divergence in passion fruit seeds
Authors: Leandro Rafael Fachi, Willian Krause, Henrique Duarte Vieira, Dej�¢nia Vieira de Ara�ºjo, Petterson Baptista da Luz, Alexandre Pio Viana
Phenotyping through digital images has been used to evaluate morphological characteristics of seeds, providing fast, accurate results. The objective of this work was to estimate the genetic divergence among full-sibling families of passion fruit through morphophysiological characteristics of seeds using the Ward-MLM method. Seeds of 98 full-sibling famili.. Read More»

NNT and NNT-AS1 expression levels are not different between bipolar patients and healthy subjects
Authors: Soudeh Ghafouri-Fard, Mohammad Taheri, Vahid Kholghi Oskooie, Mir Davood Omrani, Arezou Sayad
Nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenase (NNT) participates in redox and energy interconnections. Nnt silencing in N27 dopaminergic cells has changed basal, extra, and greatest mitochondrial oxygen absorption rates and made these cell vulnerable to constant upsurges in H2O2. NNT-antisense RNA1 (NNT-AS1) is transcribed from the opposite stand of NNT gene a.. Read More»

AtBTH1, a BTB domain-containing protein, influences sugar-responsive germination and seedling growth in Arabidopsis
Authors: J.E. Hwang, Y.J. Kim, M.H. Shin, J. Park, W. Choi, D.J. Yun and H.C. Park
Sugars function as signal molecules that regulate gene expression, growth, and development in plants, animals, and yeasts. As a contribution to understanding the molecular mechanisms of sugar responses, we identified and characterized an Arabidopsis thaliana BTB domain-containing protein of the H subfamily 1 (designated AtBTH1). The relative expression le.. Read More»

MicroRNAs as biomarkers of kidney allograft injuries ischemia reperfusion and acute rejection
Authors: Patricia Milhoransa, Carolina Caruccio Montanari, Mariane Dos Santos, Marina Sieber, Roberto Ceratti Manfro
Renal transplantation provides a significant increase in life expectancy for patients with end-stage kidney diseases. Despite the unequivocal progresses made in the last decades, many grafts injuries still jeopardize graft function leading to its loss. Currently, the allograft biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosing such conditions. However, it has man.. Read More»

Genetic variability in morphological characters among Fig tree accessions Fig genetic conservation
Authors: Maria Gabriela Fontanetti Rodrigues*, LaÃ?Âs Naiara Honorato Monteiro, Antonio FlÃ?¡vio Arruda Ferreira, Tatiane Paes Dos Santos, Bruno Ettore Pavan, Vitos AntÃ?´nio Benites Neves, Aparecida ConceiÃ?§Ã?£o Boliani
Fig is among the twenty main fruits exported by Brazil, which is the eighth largest producer of fig in natura in the world. The characterization of active germplasm banks (AGBs) of fig has thus become an important line of research, as it is necessary to gather information from this to carry out adequate management projects. The objective of this study was.. Read More»

Genetic diversity and population structure of ancient Platycladus orientalis (Cupressaceae) in the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor revealed by SSR
Authors: Yao Xu1, Jiantao Zhao, Sheng Zhang, Zhong Zhao
Ancient trees can serve as genetic reservoirs for special genes, and they are of significance in genetic applications dealing with forest fragmentation, climate change and drought. The Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor in Shaanxi China has the largest number of ancient Platycladus orientalis trees. Here, Simple sequence repeat (SSR) technique was used to st.. Read More»
