Characterization and gene cloning of the rice (Oryza sativa L.) dwarf and narrow-leaf mutant dnl3
Authors: L. Shi, X.J. Wei, Y.M.N. Adedze, Z.H. Sheng, S.Q. Tang, P.S. Hu and J.L. Wang
The dwarf and narrow-leaf rice (Oryza sativa L.) mutant dnl3 was isolated from the Japonica cultivar Zhonghua 11 (wild-type). dnl3 exhibited pleiotropic developmental defects. The narrow-leaf phenotype resulted from a marked reduction in the number of vascular bundles, while the dwarf stature was caused by the formation of foreshortened internodes and a r.. Read More»

Physiological analysis and transcriptome comparison of two muskmelon (Cucumis melo L.) cultivars in response to salt stress
Authors: L.M. Wang, L.D. Zhang, J.B. Chen, D.F. Huang and Y.D. Zhang
Melon (Cucumis melo L.) is an important vegetable crop that ranks second in salt tolerance among the Cucurbitaceae. Previous studies on the two muskmelon cultivars ‘Bing XueCui’ (BXC) and ‘Yu Lu’ (YL) revealed that they had different characteristics under salt stress, but the molecular basis underlying their different physiological..

Classification and phylogenetic analysis of Chinese hawthorn assessed by plant and pollen morphology
Authors: S.L.Y. Ma and Y.M. Lu
The Chinese hawthorn (Crataegus pinnatifida Bge. var. major N.E.Br.) is uniquely originated in northern China. The ecological and horticultural importance of Chinese hawthorn is considerable and some varieties are valued for their fruit or medicine extracts. Its taxonomy and phylogeny remain poorly understood. Apart from general plant morphological traits.. Read More»

Identification of a novel SLC45A2 mutation in albinism by targeted next-generation sequencing
Authors: J.J. Xue, J.F. Xue, H.Q. Xue, Y.Y. Guo, Y. Liu and N. Ouyang
Albinism is a diverse group of hypopigmentary disorders caused by multiple-genetic defects. The genetic diagnosis of patients affected with albinism by Sanger sequencing is often complex, expensive, and time-consuming. In this study, we performed targeted next-generation sequencing to screen for 16 genes in a patient with albinism, and identified 21 genet.. Read More»

Association between peptidyl arginine deiminase 4 (PADI4)-104C/T polymorphism and rheumatoid arthritis: a meta-analysis in the Chinese population
Authors: L.L. Gong, J. Chang and Y.M. Yang
The correlation between the -104C/T polymorphism in the peptidyl arginine deiminase 4 (PADI4) gene and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) risk has been analyzed in several studies. However, the results are inconclusive and remain to be confirmed in several ethnic groups. The effect of the PADI4-104C/T polymorphism on RA risk in the Chinese population was evaluated.. Read More»

Biometric analysis of arabica coffee grown in low potassium nutrient solution under greenhouse conditions
Authors: W.M. Moura, Y.J.B. Soares, A.T. Amaral J�ºnior, G.A. Gravina, L.D. Barili and H.D. Vieira
Genetic parameters and associations between morpho-agronomic traits and nutritional efficiencies of arabica coffee cultivars were estimated to identify promising traits to assist in the selection of coffee genotypes efficient in potassium use, under limiting conditions of this nutrient. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse with 20 arabica coffee c.. Read More»

Development of the first polymorphic microsatellite markers for the Roman snail Helix pomatia L., 1758 (Helicidae) and cross-species amplification within the genus Helix
Authors: A.M. Krapal, O.P. Popa, E.I. Iorgu, L.B. Cojocaru, A.F. Popa and L.O. Popa
The terrestrial snail Helix pomatia (Gastropoda: Stylommatophora: Helicidae) is one of the largest gastropod species in Europe. This species is strictly protected in some European Union countries; however, at the same time, it is also farmed and commercialized for human consumption. Here, we describe 11 microsatellite markers that are very useful in popul.. Read More»

Effect of specific silencing of EMMPRIN on the growth and cell cycle distribution of MCF-7 breast cancer cells
Authors: X.Q. Yang, J. Yang, R. Wang, S. Zhang, Q.W. Tan, Q. Lv, W.T. Meng, X.M. Mo, H.J. Li
The extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer (EMMPRIN, CD147) is a member of the immunoglobulin family and shows increased expression in tumor cells. We examined the effect of RNAi-mediated EMMPRIN gene silencing induced by lentiviral on the growth and cycle distribution of MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Lentiviral expressin.. Read More»

Genetic progress estimation strategy for upright common bean plants using recurrent selection
Authors: L.A. Pereira, A.F.B. Abreu, I.C. Vieira J�ºnior, L.P.M. Pires,M.A.P. Ramalho
Common bean producers in Brazil tend to grow plants as upright as possible. Because the control of this trait involves a large number of genes, recurrent selection (RS) is the best approach for successful plant improvement. Because plant architecture (PA) is evaluated using scores and usually has high heritability, RS for PA i.. Read More»

Polymorphisms in CYP17, COMT, and ESR1 genes in women after menopause and association with bone mineral density
Authors: C.G. Gon�§alves, B.C. Almeida, C.M. Camargo-Kosugi, A.M.M. Costa, I.D.C.G. Silva, M.A. Haidar
In this study, we evaluated genetic factors related to the mineral density during post-menopause. We evaluated 110 women in the first 5 years post-menopause, without previous hormone replacement therapy. Cytochrome P450 17 (CYP17) (rs743572), catechol-O-methyl transferase (COMT) (rs4680), and estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) (rs9322.. Read More»
