Effects of 17�?±-methyltestosterone on thereproduction of the freshwater snail Biomphalaria glabrata

Authors: C.L.G. Rivero-Wendt, A.C. Borges, E.C. Oliveira-Filho, A.L. Miranda-Vilela, M.F.N. Ferreiraand C.K. Grisolia

17-α-methyltestosterone (MT) is a synthetic hormone used in fish hatcheries to induce male monosex. Snails hold promise as possible test models to assess chemicals acting on the endocrine system. Biomphalaria glabrata is an aquatic gastropod mollusk (Pulmonata, Planorbidae) that can be easily maintained in aquaria, predi.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of microsatellite DNA loci from the peanut worm, Sipunculus nudus

Authors: Q.H. Wang, Y.S. Guo, Z.D. Wang, X.D. Du and Y.W. Deng

Sipunculus nudus, the peanut worm, is the best known species in its genus. This unsegmented subtidal marine worm is consumed in some parts of Asia and is also used as fish bait. We found 20 microsatellite DNA markers for S. nudus. The number of alleles per polymorphic locus ranged from two to seven in a sample of 39 individual.. Read More»

Distribution of Candida albicans in the oral cavity of children aged 3-5 years of Uygur and Han nationality and their genotype in caries-active groups

Authors: N. Wu, J. Lin, L. Wu and J. Zhao

We analyzed the distribution of Candida albicans in the oral cavity of 3-5-year-old children of Uygur and Han nationalities as well as their genotypes in caries-active groups in the Urumqi municipality. CHROMagar Candida was separately cultivated, and we identified 359 Uygur and Han children aged 3-5 years. We randomly selected 20 Han children and 20 Uygur c.. Read More»

Characterization of MUSTN1 gene and its relationship with skeletal muscle development at postnatal stages in Pekin ducks

Authors: T.S. Xu, L.H. Gu, Y. Sun, X.H. Zhang, B.G. Ye, X.L. Liu and S.S. Hou

Musculoskeletal embryonic nuclear protein 1 (MUSTN1) gene is involved in myogenic fusion and differentiation in rats. We previously showed the differential expression of MUSTN1 in week (W) 2 and W6 breast muscles of Pekin ducks. In this study, we further investigated its molecular characteristics and expression profiles in different tissues at W7 and in b.. Read More»

Isolation of new polymorphic microsatellite markers from the marbled rockfish Sebastiscus marmoratus

Authors: H.W. Deng, Z.B. Li, G. Dai, Y. Yuan, Y.F. Ning, J.B. Shangguan and Y.S. Huang

The marbled rockfish, Sebastiscus marmoratus, is an important commercially near-shore fish that inhabits the beach rocky bottom from Japan to the South China Sea. Eleven polymorphic microsatellite loci were developed from S. marmoratus and were used to identify polymorphisms in 30 samples from a wild population. The allele locus number ranged from 2 to 7. Po..

Cloning, expression analysis and sequence prediction of the CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha gene of Qinchuan cattle

Authors: H. Wang, L.S. Zan, H.B. Wang, C. Gong and C.Z. Fu

CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha (C/EBPα) is an essential transcription factor, regulating the differentiation of adipocytes. We cloned the complete open reading frame of C/EBPα gene of Qinchuan cattle and analyzed its protein structures and expression profile in 15 tissues via DNA cloning, sequencing and RT-PC..

Bee communities (Hymenoptera: Anthophila) of the â�?�?Cerradoâ�? ecosystem in S�?£o Paulo State, Brazil

Authors: S.R. Andena F.S. Nascimento P.C. Bispo M.R. Mechi S. Mateus L.R. Bego

Five surveys of the bee communities in four “Cerrado” ecosystem reserves in São Paulo State were compared for species richness and similarity. These areas are fragment vegetation reser­ves located in the Cerrado Corumbataí Reserve (Corumbataí), Jataí Ecological Park (Luiz Antôn.. Read More»

Brazilian Nelore cattle: a melting pot unfolded by molecular genetics

Authors: M.A.C. Dani1, M.B. Heinneman2 and S.U. Dani1

The aim of the present article was to study the population structure and genetic diversity of Nelore cattle and genetic relationships between Nelore and different taurine and zebu breeds raised in Brazil. DNA polymorphism analysis was carried out with 1976 animals of 16 zebu, taurine and synthetic breeds raised in Brazil. A higher genetic differentiation .. Read More»

Molecular genetic analysis of heterosis in interspecific hybrids of Argopecten purpuratus x A. irradians irradians

Authors: L.P. Hu, X.T. Huang, Y. Sun, J.X. Mao, S. Wang, C.D. Wang and Z.M. Bao

Argopecten purpuratus and Argopecten irradians irradians hybridization was successfully performed and the hybrid offspring displayed apparent heterosis in growth traits. To better understand the genetic basis of heterosis, the genomic composition and genetic variation of the hybrids were analyzed with amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) and simp..
