Tissue distribution and early developmental expression patterns of aldolase A, B, and C in grass carp Ctenopharyngodon idellus
Authors: J.J. Fan, J.J. Bai, D.M. Ma, L.Y. Yu and P. Jiang
Aldolase is a key enzyme involved in glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, and the pentose phosphate pathway. To establish the expression patterns of all three aldolase isozyme genes in different tissues and during early embryogenesis in lower vertebrates, as well as to explore the functional differences between these three isozymes, t..

Genetic control of number of flowers and pod set in common bean
Authors: E.S. Martins, R.A. Pinto J�ºnior, A.F.B. Abreu and M.A.P. Ramalho
This article aimed to study the genetic control of some flowers and pod set of common bean and to verify if its estimate varies with environmental conditions and gene pool. A complete diallel was used among six lines, but no reciprocal ones. The treatments were evaluated in three harvests/generations - F2, F3, and F4 - in 2015.. Read More»

Study of genetic variability in pigs after the traditional breeding program
Authors: I.M. Ferreira, G.S. Vieira, T.F. Braga, T.C.F. Silva, M.M. Franco and R.C. Antunes
Molecular markers are tools used to improve genetic gains. The objective of this study was to analyze the security of alleles of molecular marker genes for characteristics of economic interest in a pure population of pigs. After the extraction of DNA from the hair of 272 Large White matrices, the allele and genotype frequency .. Read More»

Genotypic variation and relationships among nitrogen-use efficiency and agronomic traits in tropical maize inbred lines
Authors: M.C. Rodrigues, W.M. Rezende, M.E.J. Silva, S.V. Faria, L.T. Zuffo, J.C.C. Galv�£o and R.O. DeLima
Improvement in nitrogen-use efficiency (NUE) on maize is among the best strategies to mitigate the problems of poor soil fertility in tropical conditions. The objectives of this study were: i) to quantify the genetic variability for NUE-components and agronomic traits in a set of tropical maize inbred lines; ii) to study the g.. Read More»

Contemporary pollen and seed dispersal in natural populations of Bertholletia excelsa (Bonpl.)
Authors: A.B. Baldoni, L.H.O. Wadt, T. Campos, V.S. Silva, V.C.R. Azevedo, L.R. Mata, A.A. Botin, N.O. Mendes, F.D. Tardin, H. Tonini, E.S.S. Hoogerheide and A.M. Sebbenn
Due to the nutritional content and commercial value of its seeds, Bertholletia excelsa is one of the most important species exploited in the Amazon region. The species is hermaphroditic, insect pollinated, and its seeds are dispersed by barochory and animals. Because the fruit set is dependent on natural pollinator activity, g.. Read More»

Interleukin-18 (rs187238) and glucose transporter 4 (rs5435) polymorphisms in Euro-Brazilians with type 1 diabetes
Authors: Y. Al-Lahham, A.K.B. Mendes, E.M. Souza, D. Alberton, F.G.M. Rego, G. Valdameri and G. Picheth
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease with a strong genetic component that has been associated with several genetic loci. Interleukin 18 (IL-18) is a potent proinflammatory cytokine, which is involved in the innate and adaptive immune responses, and in the pathogenesis of various diseases including T1D. Glucose transp..
