Selection
Positive selection sites in tertiary structure of Leguminosae Chalcone isomerase 1
Authors: R.K. Wang, S.F. Zhan, T.J. Zhao, X.L. Zhou and C.E. Wang
Isoflavonoids and the related synthesis enzyme, chalcone isomerase 1 (CHI1), are unique in the Leguminosae, with diverse biological functions. Among the Leguminosae, the soybean is an important oil, protein crop, and model plant. In this study, we aimed to detect the generation pattern of Leguminosae CHI1. Genome-wide sequence analysis of CHI in 3 Legumin.. Read More»

Colony membership is reflected by variations in cuticular hydrocarbon profile in a Neotropical paper wasp, Polistes satan (Hymenoptera, Vespidae)
Authors: Tannure-Nascimento IC, Nascimento FS, Turatti IC, Lopes NP, Trigo JRand Zucchi R
Nestmate recognition is one the most important features in social insect colonies. Although epicuticular lipids or cuticular hydrocarbons have both structural and defensive functions in insects, they also seem to be involved in several aspects of communication in wasps, bees and ants. We analyzed and described for the first ti.. Read More»

Selection of sorghum hybrids grown under aluminum saturation
Authors: C.B. Menezes, G.A. Carvalho Junior, L.A. Silva, K.C. Bernardino, J.V. Magalh�£es, C.T. Guimar�£es, L.J.M. Guimar�£es and R.E. Schaffert
The purpose of this study was to evaluate 165 hybrids derived from lines previously selected for aluminum (Al) tolerance. Nine check cultivars were used, eight commercial hybrids and one experimental hybrid. Hybrids were evaluated at three levels of Al saturation (0, 20 and 40% on average). The differences between the environm.. Read More»

Personalized diagnosis by cached solutions with hypertension as a study model
Authors: P.C. Carvalho, S.S. Freitas, A.B. Lima, M. Barros, I. Bittencourt, W. Degrave, I. Cordovil, R. Fonseca, M.G.C. Carvalho, R.S. Moura Neto and P.H. Cabello
Statistical modeling of links between genetic profiles with environmental and clinical data to aid in medical diagnosis is a challenge. Here, we present a computational approach for rapidly selecting important clinical data to assist in medical decisions based on personalized genetic profiles. What could take hours or days of ..

Cassava diversity in Brazil: the case of carotenoid-rich landraces
Authors: Nagib Nassar, Vizzotto CS, Schwartz CA and Pires Junior OR
In Brazil, the center of cassava origin, cassava landraces have acquired through their domestication a large diversity in relation to many economic traits such as high content of carotenoids and excellent palatability among other characters. One of these clones, which has been grown by indigenous Brazilian farmers and is now b.. Read More»

Responses to selection for milk traits in dairy buffaloes
Authors: L.O. Seno, V.L. Cardoso and H. Tonhati
The aim of the present study was to estimate the index and individual responses to selection for milk (MY), fat (FY) and protein (PY) yields for different breeding goals for two commercial buffalo milk production systems in São Paulo State characterized by: 1) all milk produced is sold to the industry (MILK) and 2) all ..

Genetic trend for milk yield in Guzerat herds participating in progeny testing and MOET nucleus schemes
Authors: M.G.C.D. Peixoto, R.S. Verneque, R.L. Teodoro, V.M. Penna and M.L.Martinez
Genetic trends for 305-day milk yield (P305) in Brazilian Guzerat herds under selection were compared. Data from 4898 lactations of 3179 purebred and crossbred cows from various regions of Brazil were used. Milk yield was adjusted for mature age and the contemporary groups were defined as herd and calving year. Genetic paramet.. Read More»

Direct effects on scenarios and types of path analyses in corn hybrids
Authors: M. Toebe, A. Cargnelutti Filho, L. Storck and A.D. L�ºcio
The objective of this study was to estimate the direct effects of explanatory variables on the grain yield of corn in the combinations formed by three types of hybrids x two harvests x nine scenarios of explanatory variables x two types of path analyses. Eleven explanatory variables were measured in 361, 373, and 416 single-, .. Read More»

Genome wide selection in Citrus breeding
Authors: I.B. Gois, A. Bor�©m, M. Cristofani-Yaly, M.D.V. de Resende, C.F. Azevedo, M. Bastianel, V.M. Novelli2and M.A. Machado
Genome wide selection (GWS) is essential for the genetic improvement of perennial species such as Citrus because of its ability to increase gain per unit time and to enable the efficient selection of characteristics with low heritability. This study assessed GWS efficiency in a population of Citrus and compared it with selecti.. Read More»

Molecular marker-assisted selection of the ae alleles in maize
Authors: F. Chen, S.W. Zhu, Y. Xiang, H.Y. Jiang and B.J. Cheng
The ae (amylose extender) recessive mutant alleles in maize are an important genetic resource for the development of high-amylose cultivars. On the basis of ae allele sequences (from the National Center for Biotechnology Information), the ae mutant alleles were cloned from high-amylose maize and the allelic Ae gene from common..
