Sacbrood disease, an affliction of honey bees (Apis mellifera) characterized by brood that fails to pupate and subsequently dies, is an important threat to honey bee health. The disease is caused by the sacbrood virus (SBV), a positive-, single-stranded RNA virus in the order Picornavirales. Because of the economic importance of honey bees for both pollinati.. Read More»

Identification and characterization of microsatellite markers from the tropical sea cucumber, Stichopus horrens (Selenka)
Authors: J.B. Shangguan, Z.B. Li, Y. Yuan and Y.S. Huang
Tropical commercial sea cucumber Stichopus horrens is extensively distributed throughout the tropical Indo-Pacific region, and wild stocks have been severely depleted over the past decade. In this study, we used the microsatellite enrichment library of S. horrens to identify and characterize 13 microsatellite loci, including 11 polymorphic loci and 2 mono.. Read More»

Application of ISSR markers for verification of F1 hybrids in mungbean (Vigna radiata)
Authors: P. Khajudparn T. Prajongjai O. Poolsawat P.A. Tantasawat
Mungbean improvement via hybridization requires the identification of true F1 hybrids from controlled crosses before further generations of selfing/crossing and selection. We utilized inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers for identifying putative F1 hybrids from six cross combinations whose morphological characteristics were very similar to those of th..

Effects of beta 2 adrenergic agonists on axonal injury and mitochondrial metabolism in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis rats
Authors: Z.W. Zhang, X.Y. Qin, F.Y. Che, G. Xie, L. Shen and Y.Y. Bai
The primary aims of this study were to investigate mitochondrial metabolism during experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) animal model axonal injury and to determine the correlation among neurological function scores, pathological changes, and the activities of the BB isoenzyme of creatine kinase (CK-BB), catalase (CAT), and calpain in the brain ti..

Phenotypic and molecular characterization of CTX-M-14 extended-spectrum �²-lactamase and plasmid-mediated ACT-like AmpC �²-lactamase produced by Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from chickens in Henan Province, China
Authors: H. Wu B.-G. Liu J.-H. Liu Y.-S. Pan L. Yuan G.-Z. Hu
Extended-spectrum Ã?²-lactamases (ESBLs) and AmpC Ã?²-lactamases produced by a clinical isolate of Klebsiella pneumoniae from chickens were detected with confirmatory phenotypic tests of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute. The minimum inhibitory concentrations of 18 antibacterial drugs against K. pneumoniae were determined by the 2-fold microd.. Read More»

Cloning of a phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase gene based on fiber strength transcriptome QTL mapping in the cotton species Gossypium barbadense
Authors: H.W. Liu R.F. Shi X.F. Wang Y.X. Pan G.Y. Zang Z.Y. Ma
Sea Island cotton (Gossypium barbadense) is highly valued for its superior fiber qualities, especially fiber strength. Based on a transcript-derived fragment originated from transcriptome QTL mapping, a fiber strength related candidate gene of phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase cDNA, designated as GbPI4K, was first cloned, and its expression was characterized in ..

Morphological variation of mutant sunflowers (Helianthus annuus) induced by space flight and their genetic background detection by SSR primers
Authors: J. Yang S. Shen T. Zhang G.D. Chen H. Liu X.B. Ma W.Y. Chen Z.S. Peng
After sunflower seeds were exposed to space conditions, various mutant plants were screened from the descendent plants. The morphological characters of plants changed in flower color from golden to yellow, light yellow, or even to yellowish green. The ligulate petals of the unisexual floret broadened, or became thin, while the short tubular petals of bise.. Read More»

Selecting soybean resistant to the cyst nematode Heterodera glycines using simple sequence repeat (microssatellite) markers
Authors: S.M.C.G. Espindola O.T. Hamawaki A.P. Oliveira C.D.L. Hamawaki R.L. Hamawaki L.M. Takahashi
The soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is a major cause of soybean yield reduction. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of marker-assisted selection to identify genotypes resistant to SCN race 3 infection, using Sat_168 and Sat-141 resistance quantitative trait loci. The experiment was carried out under greenhouse conditions, using soybean.. Read More»

Full-sib reciprocal recurrent selection in the maize populations Cimmyt and Piran�£o
Authors: K.S. da Cunha M.G. Pereira L.S.A. Gon�§alves A.P.C.G. Berilli E.C. de Oliveira H.C.C. Ramos A.T. do Amaral J�ºnior
We estimated the genetic gains of the 12th cycle of reciprocal recurrent selection for maize traits of agronomic interest. We used 23 ISSR molecular markers in an attempt to maximize genetic variability among and within populations based on selection of S1 progenies. To this end, 138 full-sib families were evaluated in a randomized block design in two enviro.. Read More»

Association of CD14 G(-1145)A and C(-159)T polymorphisms with reduced risk for tuberculosis in a Chinese Han population
Authors: M.Y. Zhao Y. Xue Z.Q. Zhao F.J. Li D.P. Fan L.L. Wei X.J. Sun X. Zhang X.C. Wang Y.X. Zhang J.C. Li
Although the role of CD14 in mediating signals from Toll-like receptors to recognize Mycobacterium tuberculosis is known, how polymorphisms in this gene affect the susceptibility to develop tuberculosis are still not clear. We examined whether single nucleotide polymorphisms at positions -1145 and -159 in the promoter region of the CD14 gene are associate.. Read More»
