Authors: Y.F. Ning, Z.B. Li, Q.H. Li, G. Dai, J.B. Shangguan, Y. Yuan and Y.S. Huang
The rabbitfish Siganus fuscescens is an economically valuable species that is widely distributed throughout the estuaries, intertidal, and offshore coasts of the Indo-Pacific and eastern Mediterranean. Ten novel microsatellite loci from the genome of S. fuscescens were developed using the fast isolation protocol with amplified fragment length polymorphism.. Read More»

Diversity and genetic structure among subpopulations of Gossypium mustelinum (Malvaceae)
Authors: M.F. Alves P.A.V. Barroso A.Y. Ciampi L.V. Hoffmann V.C.R. Azevedo U. Cavalcante
Gossypium mustelinum is the only cotton species native to Brazil; it is endemic to the semi-arid region of the northeast. The populations are found near perennial and semi-perennial sources of water, such as ponds or pools in intermittent streams. Problems with in situ conservation derive from human interference in its habitat, mainly because of excessive.. Read More»

Analysis of the genetic diversity of Lonicera japonica Thumb. using inter-simple sequence repeat markers
Authors: H.Y. He, D. Zhang, H. Qing and Y. Yang
Inter-simple sequence repeats (ISSRs) were used to analyze the genetic diversity of 21 accessions obtained from four provinces in China, Shandong, Henan, Hebei, and Sichuan. A total of 272 scored bands were generated using the eight primers previously screened across 21 accessions, of which 267 were polymorphic (98.16%). Genet.. Read More»

Identification of molecular markers in patients with hypertensive heart disease accompanied with coronary artery disease
Authors: H. Pang, B. Han, Z.Y. Li and Q. Fu
We investigated the plasma hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL), and apelin levels in patients with hypertensive heart disease (HHD) plus coronary artery disease (CAD). Patients with hypertension hospitalized in Xuzhou Central Hospital were categorized into the HHD group and the HHD plus CAD group; 40 healt.. Read More»

Diversity, population structure, and evolution of local peach cultivars in China identified by simple sequence repeats
Authors: Z.J. Shen, R.J. Ma, Z.X. Cai, M.L. Yu and Z. Zhang
The fruit peach originated in China and has a history of domestication of more than 4000 years. Numerous local cultivars were selected during the long course of cultivation, and a great morphological diversity exists. To study the diversity and genetic background of local peach cultivars in China, a set of 158 accessions from different ecological regions,.. Read More»

Association among agro-industrial traits and simultaneous selection in sweet sorghum
Authors: P.S.S. Leite, T.G. Fagundes, J.A.R. Nunes, R.A.C. Parrella,N.N.L. Dur�£es and A.T. Bruzi
Sweet sorghum has emerged as an alternative crop for ethanol yield. The breeding of this crop is performed to obtain cultivars with high ethanol yield, which necessarily requires associating favorable phenotypes for multiple traits. Therefore, the aims of this study were to investigate the association between agro-industrial t.. Read More»

imDC: an ensemble learning method for imbalanced classification with miRNA data
Authors: C.Y. Wang, L.L. Hu, M.Z. Guo, X.Y. Liu and Q. Zou
Imbalances typically exist in bioinformatics and are also common in other areas. A drawback of traditional machine learning methods is the relatively little attention given to small sample classification. Thus, we developed imDC, which uses an ensemble learning concept in combination with weights and sample misclassification information to effectively cla.. Read More»

Molecular analysis and frequency of Staphylococcus aureus virulence genes isolated from bloodstream infections in a teaching hospital in Tianjin, China
Authors: L.X. Wang Z.D. Hu Y.M. Hu B. Tian Jing Li F.X. Wang H. Yang H.R. Xu Y.C. Li J. Li
Staphylococcus aureus is an important cause of bloodstream infections worldwide. We examined the prevalence of genes that encode erythromycin ribosome methylase and bacterial toxins in S. aureus collected from bloodstream infections. Sixty different S. aureus isolates were obtained from blood cultures of patients who were admitted to a Teaching Hospital i.. Read More»

Genetic analysis and identification of SSR markers associated with rice blast disease in a BC2F1 backcross population
Authors: N. Hasan, M.Y. Rafii, H. Abdul Rahim, S.A. Nusaibah, N. Mazlan and S. Abdullah
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) blast disease is one of the most destructive rice diseases in the world. The fungal pathogen, Magnaporthe oryzae, is the causal agent of rice blast disease. Development of resistant cultivars is the most preferred method to achieve sustainable rice production. However, the effectiveness of resistant cult.. Read More»

Authors: R. Zhang1, Z.Y. Wang1, L.L. Zhu1, F. Wu1, D.Q. Chen1, L.F. Sun1 and Z.Q. Lu2
Resistin (RSTN) expression in subcutaneous adipose tissue, and its effect on glucose metabolism in rats with traumatic brain injury, was investigated using real-time PCR, western blots, and enzyme linked immunoassays. Our results show that the expression of RSTN mRNA (3.192 ± 0.046, 4.016 ± 0.010, 6.004 ± 0.020, 8.213 ± 0.013, .. Read More»
