Authors: S.D. Vieira, D.C. de Souza, I.A. Martins, G.H.M.R. Ribeiro, L.V. Resende, A.K.L. Ferraz, A.G. Galv�£o and J.T.V. de Resende
The strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Dutch.), is the only vegetable belonging to the rosacea family. All strawberry species have now emerged from wild species and belong to the genus Fragaria, being that this genus presents more than 45 described species, and only 11 are considered natural species. Due to the octoploid nature o.. Read More»

Immunohistochemical localization of sex hormone receptors in two Raillietina tapeworms
Authors: L. Chen, Y.M. Sun, L. Mu, Y. Zeng, H.Y. Li and T.H. Yang
Sex hormone receptors play critical roles in development and reproduction. However, it is not known whether they exist in Raillietina tapeworms, and if they do, whether they have a similar function to that in vertebrates. We examined the immunohistochemical distributions of androgen receptors (ARs), estrogen receptors (ERs), a.. Read More»

Effect of increased UV-B radiation on carotenoid accumulation and total antioxidant capacity in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) leaves
Authors: J. Shen, C.Q. Jiang, Y.F. Yan, B.R. Liu and C.L. Zu
Carotenoids are important components of plant antioxidant systems, which protect photosystems from photooxidative destruction during ultraviolet-B (UV-B) exposure. The influence of carotenoids on total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of plants has rarely been studied. In this study, tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L., ‘K326’.. Read More»

Bioinformatics: an overview and its applications
Authors: W.J.S. Diniz and F. Canduri
Technological advancements in recent years have promoted a marked progress in understanding the genetic basis of phenotypes. In line with these advances, genomics has changed the paradigm of biological questions in full genome-wide scale (genome-wide), revealing an explosion of data and opening up many possibilities. On the ot.. Read More»

Comparison between different selection indices in energy cane breeding
Authors: A.A.C. de Azeredo, L.L. Bhering, B.P. Brasileiro, C.D. Cruz,L.C.I. Silveira, R.A. Oliveira, J.C. Bespalhok Filho, E. Daros
Sugarcane breeding programs have been adapting to a new market demand: aside from high sucrose yield per hectare, the sector needs new cultivars with higher fiber percentages. The selection of sugarcane clones based on phenotype alone is a complex task. The selected clones should display high performance in a series of yield- .. Read More»

Antiquity, botany, origin and domestication of Jatropha curcas (Euphorbiaceae), a plant species with potential for biodiesel production
Authors: L.A.S. Dias R.F. Missio D.C.F.S. Dias
Jatropha curcas is a multi-purpose plant species, with many advantages for biodiesel production. Its potential oil productivity is 1.9 t/ha, beginning the fourth year after planting. Nevertheless, limitations such as high harvest cost, lack of scientific konowledge and low profitability have prevented it from being utilized commercially. In order to provide .. Read More»

A rapid method to increase the number of F1 plants in pea (Pisum sativum) breeding programs
Authors: M.A. Esp�³sito P. Almir�³n I. Gatti V.P. Cravero F.S.L. Anido E.L. Cointry
In breeding programs, a large number of F2 individuals are required to perform the selection process properly, but often few such plants are available. In order to obtain more F2 seeds, it is necessary to multiply the F1 plants. We developed a rapid, efficient and reproducible protocol for in vitro shoot regeneration and rooting of seeds using 6-benzylaminop.. Read More»

Integrated statistical learning of metabolic ion mobility spectrometry profiles for pulmonary disease identification
Authors: A.-C. Hauschild J.I. Baumbach J. Baumbach
Exhaled air carries information on human health status. Ion mobility spectrometers combined with a multi-capillary column (MCC/IMS) is a well-known technology for detecting volatile organic compounds (VOCs) within human breath. This technique is relatively inexpensive, robust and easy to use in every day practice. However, the potential of this methodolog.. Read More»

A clinical study of bone mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of hepatic fibrosis induced by hepatolenticular degeneration
Authors: D. Zhang
The efficacy of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) on liver fibrosis in animal has been proven, but a few studies have been made in human body and few such researches in China. This study was designed to investigate the effect of BMSC treatment on hepatic fibrosis induced by hepatolenticular degeneration and the influenc.. Read More»
