Impact of BMMSCs from different sources on proliferation of CD34+ cells
Authors: R.F. Liu, J.Q. Li, R.X. Hou, R. Wang and K.M. Zhang
There are significant differences on the biological characteristics of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs), immunological response, and antigen-presenting functions between patients with psoriasis and normal subjects, but there are no significant differences in aborted fetuses. We examined the differences in BMMSCs between aborted fetuses and patient.. Read More»

Development of TRAP primers for Ricinus communis L.
Authors: K.S. Sim�µes, S.A. Silva, E.L. Machado and H.S. Brasileiro
The objective of this article was to develop TRAP (target region amplification polymorphism) primers for castor bean, with the goal of making functional markers available for genetic studies about the species. To do this, oligonucleotides were designed based on ESTs, obtained from the NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology In.. Read More»

Interactome analysis and design of inhibitors against selected protein targets of Ser/Thr protein kinase (STPK) signaling pathways in Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv
Authors: A.B. Gurung, B.J. Mylliemngap, A. Bhattacharjee1, M.A. Ali and F.M.A. Al-Hemaid
Tuberculosis continues to be a major cause of mortality worldwide despite significant advances in chemotherapy and development of the BCG vaccine. Although curable, the tuberculosis treatment period (6-9 months) presents many concerns, including patient noncompliance and the development of drug toxicity and drug resistance. This study aimed to understand .. Read More»

A rapid and high-quality method for total RNA isolation from Haematococcus pluvialis
Authors: Q.L. Luo, K.P. Wang, K. Xiao, C.G. Wang and Z.L. Hu
Haematococcus pluvialis, as the most potential natural source of astaxanthin, which is a powerful antioxidant with high economic value, has attracted more and more scientific attention in recent years. An in-depth understanding of the mechanism for how H. pluvialis produces astaxanthin requires the intensive investigations on .. Read More»

Population genetic characterization of the Japanese oak silkmoth, Antheraea yamamai (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae), using novel microsatellite markers and mitochondrial DNA gene sequences
Authors: S.R. Kim, K.Y. Kim, J.S. Jeong, M.J. Kim, K.-H. Kim, K.H. Choi and I. Kim
The Japanese oak silkmoth, Antheraea yamamai Guérin-Méneville, 1861 (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae), is an important natural resource of industrial value for silk fiber production. Owing to a lack of geographic and population genetic information, systematic domestication of An. yamamai has not been possible yet. In th.. Read More»

Effects of silicon on seed setting rate of rice intersubspecific hybrids
Authors: W.-C. Li, L. Zhang, J. Wang, D. Wang, T.-X. Wang and C.-X. Duan
The present study found semi-sterility in rice intersubspecific hybrids of ‘Taichung 65’ x ‘Guangluai 4’ and ‘Ludao’ x ‘Qiuguang’. Embryo sac fertility was evaluated using the overall staining transparent method. The results showed that the embryo sac contained a normal egg cell, normal synergid cells, polar.. Read More»

The G1138A mutation rate in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) gene is increased in cells carrying the t (4; 14) translocation
Authors: P.L. Reddy and R.P. Grewal
Spontaneous mutations are a common phenomenon, occurring in both germ-line and somatic genomes. They may have deleterious consequences including the development of genetic disorders or, when occurring in somatic tissues, may participate in the process of carcinogenesis. Similar to many mutational hotspots, the G1138A mutation .. Read More»

Conservation and population genetic diversity of Curcuma wenyujin (Zingiberaceae), a multifunctional medicinal herb
Authors: W.H. Zheng, Y. Zhuo, L. Liang, W.Y. Ding, L.Y. Liang and X.F. Wang
Curcuma wenyujin is an important multifunctional medicinal herb in China. Currently, populations of C. wenyujin are decreasing, and wild individuals have almost disappeared from their natural habitats. Moreover, little is known regarding the molecular characteristics of this plant. In this study, we investigated the genetic diversity and variation of five.. Read More»

Identification of Glomerella cingulata f. sp phaseoli recombinants by RAPD markers
Authors: O.A. Camargo Junior, E.A. Souza, M.C. Mendes-Costa, J.B. Santos, M.A. Soares
We examined the capacity of strains of Glomerella cin-gulata f. sp phaseoli fungus (Colletotrichum lindemuthianum sexual stage) to form recombinants, using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD). Crosses of all possible combinations between strains 40, 42, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, and 26 were made on Petri dishes using M3 cult.. Read More»
