Authors: M.M. Moulin, R. Rodrigues, H.C.C. Ramos, C.S. Bento, C.P. Sudr�©, L.S.A. Gon�§alves and A.P. Viana
Capsicum baccatum L. is one of the five Capsicum domesticated species and has multiple uses in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. This species is also a valuable source of genes for chili pepper breeding, especially genes for disease resistance and fruit quality. However, knowledge of the genetic structure of C. baccatum is limited. A refer.. Read More»

Detection of drug-resistance mechanism of Pseudomonas aeruginosa developing from a sensitive strain to a persister during carbapenem treatment
Authors: J.L. Shen and Y.P. Fang
We explored the mechanism of the development from sensitivity to resistance to carbapenem in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Two P. aeruginosa strains were collected during treatment with carbapenem. Strain homology was investigated using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. Porin oprD2 expression was analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophor.. Read More»

Multi-objective optimization in systematic conservation planning and the representation of genetic variability among populations
Authors: S. Schlottfeldt, M.E.M.T. Walter, A.C.P. L.F. Carvalho, T.N. Soares, M.P.C. Telles, R.D. Loyola and J.A.F. Diniz-Filho
Biodiversity crises have led scientists to develop strategies for achieving conservation goals. The underlying principle of these strategies lies in systematic conservation planning (SCP), in which there are at least 2 conflicting objectives, making it a good candidate for multi-objective optimization. Although SCP is typically applied at the species leve.. Read More»

Differential gene expression in pre-laying and laying period ovaries of Sichuan White geese (Anser cygnoides)
Authors: N. Ding, Q. Han, X.Z. Zhao, Q. Li, J. Li, H.F. Zhang, G.L. Gao,Y. Luo, Y.H. Xie, J. Su and Q.G. Wang
Geese are an economically important poultry species worldwide. Their superior meat production performance and meat quality make them a popular food. However, they are not bred worldwide because their poor laying capacity increases farming costs. To gain a global view of the genes that are differentially expressed between prelaying (P) and laying (L) perio.. Read More»

Identification of smut-responsive genes in sugarcane using cDNA-SRAP
Authors: N. Huang, Y.Y. Zhang, X.H. Xiao, L. Huang, Q.B. Wu, Y.X. Que and L.P. Xu
Sugarcane smut, caused by the fungus Sporisorium scitamineum, is one of the main diseases that affect sugarcane worldwide. In the present study, the cDNA-SRAP technique was used to identify genes that are likely to be involved in the response of sugarcane to S. scitamineum infection. In total, 21 bands with significant differential expression during cDNA-.. Read More»

Development of microsatellite markers for a hard-shelled mussel, Mytilus coruscus, and cross-species transfer
Authors: J.H. Kang, Y.K. Kim, J.Y. Park, E.S. Noh, J.E. Jeong, Y.S. Lee and T.J. Choi
The Korean mussel Mytilus coruscus, an endemic marine bivalve mollusk, is economically important. Its population is currently decreasing due to overexploitation and invasion of a more competitive species, Mytilus galloprovincialis. In this study, microsatellite markers for M. coruscus were developed using a cost-effective pyrosequencing technique. Among t.. Read More»

Development and characterization of novel microsatellite markers for Ginkgo biloba using 454 pyrosequencing
Authors: Q. Zhou, X.X. Wang, M. Xu, F.L. Cao, F.X. Yu and L.A. Xu
As a “living fossil” that is used to understand the evolutionary history of seed plants, Ginkgo biloba is a well-known multipurpose tree with edible seeds, medicinal properties, and ornamental value, but little is known about its genetic diversity. Microsatellite, or simple sequence repeat (SSR), markers have prove.. Read More»

Expression of TNF-�±, VEGF, and MMP-3 mRNAs in synovial tissues and their roles in fibroblast-mediated osteogenesis in ankylosing spondylitis
Authors: K.G. Liu, Q.H. He, J.W. Tan and G.J. Liao
The aim of this study was to explore the mRNA levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), vessel endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) in synovial tissues in ankylosing spondylitis (AS), and to analyze the functions of these proteins in the differentiation of AS synovial tissue fibroblasts into osteoblasts (OB..

Identification of sequence-related amplified polymorphism markers linked to the red leaf trait in ornamental kale (Brassica oleracea L. var. acephala)
Authors: Y.S. Wang, Z.Y. Liu, Y.F. Li, Y. Zhang, X.F. Yang and H. Feng
Artistic diversiform leaf color is an important agronomic trait that affects the market value of ornamental kale. In the present study, genetic analysis showed that a single-dominant gene, Re (red leaf), determines the red leaf trait in ornamental kale. An F2 population consisting of 500 individuals from the cross of a red leaf double-haploid line â.. Read More»

cDNA cloning and characterization of two trehalases from Spodoptera litura (Lepidoptera; Noctuidade)
Authors: Q. Zou, P. Wei, Q. Xu, H.Z. Zheng, B. Tang and S.G. Wang
The oriental leafworm moth, Spodoptera litura, is a major agricultural pest in southeast Asia and nearby Pacific regions. Two distinct trehalases have been identified in insects: soluble trehalase (Treh1) and membrane-bound trehalase (Treh2), although there is currently no information on these genes in S. litura. To characterize the distribution and funct.. Read More»
