Authors: H. Chen, H. Lan, P. Huang, Y. Zhang, X. Yuan, X. Huang, J. Huang and H. Zhang
The plant-specific AWPM-19-domain proteins play important roles in plant development and stress responses. In the current study, OsPM19L1 encoding Oryza sativa AWPM-19-like protein 1 was isolated from rice. Tissue-specific gene expression analysis revealed that OsPM19L1 was highly expressed in the leaf sheath of rice. Interest.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of new microsatellite markers in red tail prawn, Fenneropenaeus penicillatus, an endangered species in China
Authors: Y. Yuan, J.B. Shangguan, Z.B. Li, Y.F. Ning, Y.S. Huang, B.B. Li and X.Q. Mao
Until recently, Fenneropenaeus penicillatus was considered a commercial shrimp species. However, in 2005, it was included on the Red List as an endangered species by the Chinese government. In this study, 19 new microsatellite markers in F. penicillatus were developed and tested in samples of 32 wild individu.. Read More»

Protective effects against and potential mechanisms underlying the effect of magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate in hypoxia-reoxygenation injury in rat liver cells
Authors: J. Zheng, G. Wu, G.X. Hu, Y.Z. Peng and X.J. Xiong
We examined the protective effects of magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate (MgIG) on hypoxia-reoxygenation injury in rat liver cells. Rat liver cells in the logarithmic growth phase were divided into the hypoxia-reoxygenation injury model group and MgIG pretreatment group (0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, 100 mg/mL). After 24-h pretreatment, we dete.. Read More»

Molecular characterization, tissue distribution, and immune reaction expression of karyopherins in the domestic silkworm (Bombyx mori)
Authors: J. Li, L. Wang, C. Qian, C.F. Zhang, L.S. Dai, Q.N. Liu, G.Q. Wei, Y. Sun, D.R. Liu, B.J. Zhu and C.L. Liu
Karyopherins, including alpha and beta types, are transport proteins in the eukaryotic cell that carry cargoes across nuclear pore complexes into or out of the nucleus. In this study, full open reading frames of one beta and three alpha types of karyopherin were cloned from cDNA of the domestic silkworm (Bombyx mori). The one beta and three alpha types&rs..

A framework radiation hybrid map of buffalo chromosome 1 ordering scaffolds from buffalo genome sequence assembly
Authors: N.B. Stafuzza, B.C.M. Naressi, E. Yang, J.J. Cai and M.E.J. Amaral-Trusty
River buffalo chromosome 1 (BBU1) is a sub-metacentric chromosome homologous to bovine chromosomes 1 and 27. In this study, we constructed a new framework radiation hybrid (RH) map from BBU1 using BBURH5000 panel adding nine new genes (ADRB3, ATP2C1, COPB2, CRYGS, P2RY1, SLC5A3, SLC20A2, SST, and ZDHHC2) and one microsatellite (CSSM043) to the set of mark..

Differentially expressed genes in the liver of lean and fat chickens
Authors: Q. He1,2,3, S.Z. Wang1,2,3, L. Leng1,2,3, W. Na1,2,3, Q.G. Wang1,2,4 and H. Li1,2,3
This study aimed to investigate gene expression in the chicken liver for lean and fat broiler lines. Birds used in this study were 2 and 4 weeks of age; they were derived from the 14th generation of Northeast Agricultural University broiler lines, which were divergently selected based on abdominal fat content. Chicken Genome Arrays were used to screen dif.. Read More»

MicroRNA-122 is involved in oxidative stress in isoniazid-induced liver injury in mice
Authors: L. Song, Z.R. Zhang, J.L. Zhang, X.B. Zhu, L. He, Z. Shi, L. Gao, Y. Li, B. Hu and F.M. Feng
Many studies have shown that the pathogenesis of liver injury includes oxidative stress. MicroRNA-122 may be a marker for the early diagnosis of drug-induced liver injury. However, the relationship between microRNA-122 and oxidative stress in anti-tuberculosis drug-induced liver injury remains unknown. We measured changes in tissue microRNA-122 levels and.. Read More»

Microbial diversity in raw milk and traditional fermented dairy products (Hurood cheese and Jueke) from Inner Mongolia, China
Authors: M.L. Gao, H.M. Hou, X.X. Teng, Y.L. Zhu, H.S. Hao and G.L. Zhang
Hurood cheese (HC) and Jueke (Jk) are 2 traditional fermented dairy products produced from raw milk (RM) in the Inner Mongolia region of China. They have a long history of production and consumption. The microbial compositions of RM, HC, and Jk vary greatly, and are influenced by their geographical origins and unique processin.. Read More»

Sugarcane breeding programs have been adapting to a new market demand: aside from high sucrose yield per hectare, the sector needs new cultivars with higher fiber percentages. The selection of sugarcane clones based on phenotype alone is a complex task. The selected clones should display high performance in a series of yield- .. Read More»
