Variation in genotypic responses and biochemical analysis of callus induction in cultivated wheat
Authors: M.M. Shah1, Q. Khalid1, U.W. Khan1, S.A.H. Shah3, S.H. Shah2,A. Hassan1 and A. Pervez1
Wheat is notorious for callus induction, which is a major hindrance in direct gene transfer and consequently for genetic improvement programs. In order to provide a successful platform for gene transformation, good callus quantity and quality is important. We investigated the variation in callus induction capabilities of Pakistani wheat cultivars and.. Read More»

Insight into gene evolution within Cervidae and Bovidae through genetic variation in MHC-DQA in the black muntjac (Muntiacus crinifrons)
Authors: H.-L. Wu C.-C. Tong E. Li T.-L. Luo
The critical role that the major histocompatibility complex plays in the immune recognition of parasites and pathogens makes its evolutionary dynamics exceptionally relevant to ecology, population biology, and conservation studies. The black muntjac is a rare deer endemic to a small mountainous region in eastern China. We found that this species has two D.. Read More»

Association between the interleukin-1�² C-511T polymorphism and periodontitis: a meta-analysis in the Chinese population
Authors: H.F. Wang, F.Q. He, C.J. Xu, D.M. Li, X.J. Sun, Y.T. Chi and W. Guo
The association between the interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) C-511T (or rs16944) polymorphism and periodontitis remains inconclusive, even though there have been previous studies on this association. To assess the effects of IL-1β C-511T variants on the risk of development of periodontitis, a meta-analysis was performed in.. Read More»

Genetic anomalies in patients with severe oligozoospermia and azoospermia in eastern Turkey: a prospective study
Authors: G.G. Ceylan1, C. Ceylan2 and H. Elyas3
Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive a child after one year of regular unprotected intercourse; it is a major health problem affecting about 10-15% of all couples. Infertility is due to a male factor in approximately 50% of cases. The human Y chromosome contains genes necessary for gonadal differentiation into a testis and genes for complet.. Read More»

Multivariate statistics applied to the reaction of common bean plants to parasitism by Meloidogyne javanica
Authors: L.N.S. Santos, P.D.S. Cabral, G.A.R. Neves, F.R. Alves, M.B. Teixeira1, F.N. Cunha1 N.F. Silva
The availability of common bean cultivars tolerant to Meloidogyne javanica is limited in Brazil. Thus, the present study aimed to evaluate the reactions of 33 common bean genotypes (23 landrace, 8 commercial, 1 susceptible standard and 1 resistant standard) to M. javanica, employing multivariate statistics to discriminate the ..

Identification of markers tightly linked to tomato yellow leaf curl disease and root-knot nematode resistance by multiplex PCR
Authors: S.X. Chen J.N. Du L.N. Hao C.Y. Wang Q. Chen Y.X. Chang
Seven different commercial F1 hybrids and two F2 populations were evaluated by multiplex PCR to identify plants that are homozygous or heterozygous for Ty-1 and Mi, which confer resistance to tomato yellow leaf curl disease and root-knot nematode, respectively. The Ty-1 and Mi markers were amplified by PCR and identified by digestion of the amplicons with th.. Read More»

Association between PPAR�³2 Pro12Ala polymorphism and myocardial infarction and obesity in Han Chinese in Hohhot, China
Authors: L.P. Wang L.R. Zhao H.W. Cui M.R. Yan L. Yang X.L. Su
Activation of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor g (PPARg) improves insulin sensitivity and inhibits atherosclerosis. Whether PPARg2 Pro12Ala polymorphism affects myocardial infarction is not clearly understood. We investigated a possible association of PPARg2 Pro12Ala polymorphism with obesity and myocardial infarction in Han Chinese in Hohho.. Read More»

Genetic characterization of green bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) genotypes from eastern Turkey
Authors: G. Sar�±kam�±��1, F. Ya��ar2, M. Bak�±r3, K. Kazan4 and A. Erg�¼l3
Green bean genotypes collected from eastern Turkey were characterized using simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers and morphological traits. Among 12 SSR markers, 10 produced successful amplifications and revealed DNA polymorphisms that were subsequently used to assess genetic relatedness of the genotypes. Based on the number of alleles generated and the pr.. Read More»

Effect of intracellular Wolbachia on interspecific crosses between Drosophila melanogaster and Drosophila simulans
Authors: I.N. Gazla and M.C. Carracedo
Wolbachia are bacteria that live inside the cells of a large number of invertebrate hosts and are transmitted from infected females to their offspring. Their presence is associated with cytoplasmic incompatibility in several species of Drosophila. Cytoplasmic incompatibility results when the sperm of infected males fertilize eggs of uninfected females, ca.. Read More»

Assessing potential miRNA targets based on a Markov model
Authors: Hao-Yue Fu1,2, Ding-Yu Xue2, Xiang-de Zhang1 and Pei-Ying Yang2
At present, studies on microRNA mainly focus on the identification of microRNA genes and their mRNA targets. Although researchers have identified many microRNA genes, relatively few microRNA targets have been identified by experimental methods. Computational programs designed for predicting potential microRNA targets provide numerous targets for expe.. Read More»
