Selection of cowpea progenies with enhanced drought-tolerance traits using principal component analysis
Authors: C.C. Sousa,K.J. Damasceno-Silva, E.A. Bastos,M.M. Rocha
Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp (cowpea) is a food crop with high nutritional value that is cultivated throughout tropical and subtropical regions of the world. The main constraint on high productivity of cowpea is water deficit, caused by the long periods of drought that occur in these regions. The aim of the present study was to.. Read More»

Diversity of endophytic fungal community associated with Piper hispidum (Piperaceae) leaves
Authors: R.C. Orlandelli, R.N. Alberto, C.J. Rubin Filho and J.A. Pamphile
Tropical and subtropical plants are rich in endophytic community diversity. Endophytes, mainly fungi and bacteria, inhabit the healthy plant tissues without causing any damage to the hosts. These fungi can be useful for biological control of pathogens and plant growth promotion. Some plants of the genus Piper are hosts of endophytic microorganisms; howeve.. Read More»

Temporal and spatial expression profiles of Frizzled 3 in the ovary during the estrous cycle
Authors: S.B. Wang1,2,3, Y.P. Liu1,2, Z.H. Zhang2, Z.K. Wang2,3, Y.X. Xu3 and Z.C. Wang1,2,3
Frizzled 3 is an important receptor in the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, a conserved signaling pathway that regulates gene expression and controls diverse developmental processes. However, the role of this protein during follicular development in the adult ovary is not known. The present study was designed to investigate the expression and localization of F.. Read More»

Genome-wide identification and evolutionary analysis of nucleotide-binding site-encoding resistance genes in Lotus japonicus (Fabaceae)
Authors: H. Song, P.F. Wang,T.T. Li, H. Xia,S.Z. Zhao, L. Hou,C.Z. Zhao
Nucleotide-binding site (NBS) disease resistance genes play a crucial role in plant defense responses against pathogens and insect pests. Many NBS-encoding genes have been detected in Lotus japonicus, an important forage crop in many parts of the world. However, most NBS genes identified so far in L. japonicus were only partia..

Selecting elephant grass families and progenies to produce bioenergy through mixed models (REML/BLUP)
Authors: E.V. Rodrigues, R.F. Daher, A. dos Santos, M. Vivas, J.C. Machado, G. do A. Gravina, Y.P. de Souza, A.K. Vidal, A. dos S. Rocha and R.S. Freitas
Brazil has great potential to produce bioenergy since it is located in a tropical region that receives high incidence of solar energy and presents favorable climatic conditions for such purpose. However, the use of bioenergy in the country is below its productivity potential. The aim of the current study was to select full-sib.. Read More»

Biological analysis of chronic lymphocytic leukemia: integration of mRNA and microRNA expression profiles
Authors: L. Dong1, K.H. Bi1, N. Huang1 and C.Y. Chen2
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a disease that involves progressive accumulation of nonfunctioning lymphocytes and has a low cure rate. There is an urgent requirement to determine the molecular mechanism underlying this disease in order to improve the early diagnosis and treatment of CLL. In this study, genes differentially expressed between CLL sam.. Read More»

Recombinant expression and characterization of an endoglucanase III (cel12a) from Trichoderma harzianum (Hypocreaceae) in the yeast Pichia pastoris
Authors: W.C. Generoso, W. Malag�³-Jr., N. Pereira Jr. and F. Henrique-Silva
Filamentous fungi from the genus Trichoderma have been widely investigated due to their considerable production of important biotechnological enzymes. Previous studies have demonstrated that the T. harzianum strain IOC-3844 has a high degree of cellulolytic activity. After excluding the native signal peptide, the open reading .. Read More»

Association between adiponectin gene T45G polymorphism and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease risk: a meta-analysis
Authors: W. Zhang1, L.Q. Zhu1, X.L. Huo2, J. Qin2 and G.Y. Yuan3
Numerous epidemiological investigations have evaluated the association between adiponectin gene T45G polymorphism and risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, the results of these studies have proven to be inconsistent. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis to obtain a more accurate estimation of this association. Published articles we..

Different studies have suggested an association between arsenic (As) exposure and damage to single-stranded DNA by reactive oxygen species derived from the biotransformation of arsenic. The single strand damages are converted to double strand damage upon interaction with ultraviolet radiation. Analysis of genomic integrity is .. Read More»

Africanized honey bees are efficient at detecting, uncapping and removing dead brood
Authors: M.M. Morais,T.M. Francoy,R.A. Pereira, D. De Jong, L.S. Gon�§alves
The hygienic behavior of honey bees is based on a two-step process, including uncapping and removing diseased, dead, damaged, or parasitized brood inside the cell. We evaluated during periods of 1 h the time that hygienic and non-hygienic colonies of Africanized honey bees spend to detect, uncap and remove pin-killed brood usi.. Read More»
