Assessing non-additive effects in GBLUP model
Authors: I.C. Vieira, J.P. R. dos Santos, L.P.M. Pires, B.M. Lima, F.M.A. Gon�§alves and M. Balestre
Understanding non-additive effects in the expression of quantitative traits is very important in genotype selection, especially in species where the commercial products are clones or hybrids. The use of molecular markers has allowed the study of non-additive genetic effects on a genomic level, in addition to a better understan.. Read More»

Genetic diversity in three natural populations of Pitcairnia flammea (l.) John (Bromeliaceae) estimated by ISSR markers
Authors: F.B. Souza-Sobreira, G.B. Souza, C.C.G. Rosado, F.D. Miranda, T.C.B. Soares, A.B.P.L. Gontijo
Bromeliads are greatly represented in the Atlantic Forest, although many species are threatened with extinction owing to habitat fragmentation and intense extraction for ornamental purposes. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct studies generating knowledge about genetic diversity and the distribution of this diversity among a.. Read More»

A set of novel microsatellite markers developed for an economically important tree, Dracontomelon duperreanum, in China
Authors: Z.F. Wang, H.L. Cao, L.F. Wu, Y. Guo, Q.M. Mei, M. Li, Y. Wang and Z.M. Wang
Dracontomelon duperreanum, the most representative species of the family Anacardiaceae, is an important multipurpose tree in China and Vietnam. However, no genetic diversity studies have been reported on this species. In this study, we identified 11 microsatellite markers for D. duperreanum by using the restriction-site-associ.. Read More»

Backcross assisted by microsatellite markers in common bean
Authors: L.K. Oliveira1,3, L.C. Melo2, C. Brondani3, M.J.D. Peloso2 and R.P.V. Brondani3
The objectives of the present study were to monitor the effect of backcrossing through microsatellite markers and to compare different marker assisted selection strategies. Four populations were developed using donor parents resistant to the bean golden mosaic virus and, for all crosses, only individuals resistant to the bean golden mosaic virus were back.. Read More»

Molecular characterization and expression analysis of purple acid phosphatase gene from pearl oyster Pinctada martensii
Authors: Q.H. Wang, Y. Jiao, X.D. Du, X.X. Zhao, R.L. Huang,Y.W. Deng and F. Yan
Purple acid phosphatases (PAPs), also known as type 5 acid phosphatases, are widely present in animals, plants, and fungi. In mammal, PAP was reported to participate in immune defense and bone resorption. In this study, the characteristics and potential functions of a PAP gene from pearl oyster Pinctada martensii (pm-PAP) were examined. The Pm-PAP cDNA wa.. Read More»

Mechanism of pingyangmycin-induced apoptosis of cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells
Authors: Y.D. Huang, X. Tong, Q. Chen, S.W. Xia, Y. Zhuo, Z.H. Kang and X.Y. Xue
In this study, we investigated the effects of pingyangmycin (PYM) on the growth inhibition and apoptosis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). In this study, we aimed to explore the optimal concentration of PYM to induce the apoptosis of HUVEC and to determine its mechanism of action. After treatment of HUVEC with.. Read More»

Conjugated linoleic acid-induced milk fat reduction associated with depressed expression of lipogenic genes in lactating Holstein mammary glands
Authors: L.Q. Han K. Pang H.J. Li S.B. Zhu L.F. Wang Y.B. Wang G.Q. Yang G.Y. Yang
The efficacy of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) in diet supplements for milk fat reduction is well documented in several species. However, the mechanisms by which fatty acids regulate mammary lipogenesis remain largely unknown, especially with regard to gene expression of enzyme and regulators. In this study, 8 Holstein dairy cows in their mid-lactation pe.. Read More»

Relationship between male sterility and �²-1,3-glucanase activity and callose deposition-related gene expression in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
Authors: H.Z. Liu, G.S. Zhang, W.W. Zhu, Q.S. Ba, N. Niu, J.W. Wang,S.C. Ma and J.S. Wang
In previous studies, we first isolated one different protein β-1,3-glucanase using two-dimensional electrophoresis and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry from normal wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and chemical hybridization agent-induced male sterility (CIMS) wheat. In this experiment, β-1,3-glucanase acti.. Read More»

Characterization and development of 56 EST-SSR markers derived from the transcriptome of Odontobutis potamophila
Authors: P.P. Wang, M. Ren, S.Q. Chen, S.W. Yin, C. Zhao, H.Y. Zhang, X.R. Li, Q.Q. Cao and G.Q. Zhou
Expressed sequence tags (ETSs) are the sources of microsatellite development. In this study, we isolated and characterized microsatellite markers for Odontobutis potamophila by using Illumina RNA-sequencing. We sequenced a large number of ESTs and screened 200 potential microsatellites. Consequen.. Read More»

Isolation and in silico functional analysis of MtATP6, a 6-kDa subunit of mitochondrial F1F0-ATP synthase, in response to abiotic stress
Authors: A.A. Moghadam S.M. Taghavi A. Niazi M. Djavaheri E. Ebrahimie
Mitochondrial F1F0-ATP synthase is a key enzymatic complex of energy metabolism that provides ATP for the cell. Subunits of this enzyme over-express under stress conditions. Little is known about the structure and regulatory mechanism of the F0 portion of this enzyme. We isolated the full-length coding sequence of the RMtATP6 gene from rice and wheat, and pa.. Read More»
