Authors: A.F. Vieira, L.C.S. Almeida, L.A. Rodrigues, J.G.C. Costa, L.C. Melo, H.S. Pereira, D.A. Sanglard and T.L.P.O. Souza
The main goal of this work was to select resistance sources to common bean anthracnose by field phenotyping and DNA marker-assisted screening. Fifty-five common bean genotypes, including differential varieties, characterized resistance sources, elite lines, cultivars and controls, were evaluated in a field inoculation trial an.. Read More»

CD40 rs4810485 T>G polymorphism and susceptibility to ankylosing spondylitis in the Latvian population
Authors: J. Zepa, L. Silamiķele, I. Bulina, V. Lavrentjevs, I. Trapina, J. Klovins, D. Andersone, A. Lejnieks and L. Nikitina-Zake
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a potentially disabling form of a systemic chronic inflammatory arthritis affecting mainly the axial skeleton, with or without extraspinal manifestations. The genetic basis of AS is partly known. Moreover, many autoimmunityrelated genes have pleiotropic effects. Multiple functional polymorphisms .. Read More»

Genetic structure and diversity of Senefeldera verticillata (Euphorbiaceae) in semideciduous seasonal forest fragments
Authors: A.A.R. Vieira, A.L. Silva Júnior, L.C. Souza, F.D. Miranda, M.F.S. Ferreira and M.V.W. Caldeira
Senefeldera verticillata (Euphorbiaceae) is a species that exclusively occurs in the Atlantic Forest; it is used in the restoration and recovery of degraded areas and has therapeutic uses. Due to the scarcity of information on genetic patterns of this species, genetic diversity was characterized by the use of molecular markers.. Read More»

Effect of the PLAG1 gene polymorphism on oleic acid percentage in Japanese Black cattle populations
Authors: H. Kigoshi, F. Kawaguchi, R. Yasuzumi, K. Oyama, H. Mannen, S. Sasazaki
We investigated the effect of the PLAG1 gene (on bovine chromosome 14) polymorphism on oleic acid percentage (C18:1) in four Japanese Black cattle populations (JB1: n = 900, JB2: n = 560, JB3: n = 456, JB4: n = 450). We genotyped the PLAG1 polymorphism (rs109231213) for four populations and then analyzed the effects on carcass.. Read More»

Infertility caused by an association between Arg72Pro polymorphism of the p53 gene and Glu298Asp of the eNOS gene in patients with endometriosis
Authors: T.R. Santos, K.S.F. e Silva, R.C.P.C. Silva, K.K.V.O. Moura, L.A. Guillo, C.L. Ribeiro Júnior and I.R. Costa
Endometriosis is characterized by ectopic endometrial tissue and affects millions of women worldwide. The disease leads to various symptoms such as chronic pelvic pain and infertility and does not yet have a well-defined etiology. The pathology is similar to cancer, since endometrial cells are highly proliferative, invade tiss.. Read More»

High precision experimental statistics for the selection of common bean lines that have superior agronomic performance
Authors: N.D. Ribeiro, S. de M. Steckling and H.C. Mezzomo
The identification of a single statistic that allows selection of superior genotypes for several agronomic traits with high experimental precision would be useful for bean breeding programs. We examined correlations between 12 statistics for agronomic traits to determine which would be useful for the selection of common bean l.. Read More»

Detection of sequences related to biosynthesis of antifungal metabolites and identification of a PhzF-like gene in a Pseudomonas rhizobacterium of Piper tuberculatum
Authors: O.S. Silva Jr., N.L.F. Barros, A.S. Siqueira, E.C. Gonçalves, D. N. Marques, S.P. Reis, and C.R.B. Souza
Our previous studies identified a Pseudomonas putida (Pt12 isolate) associated with roots of Piper tuberculatum Jacq., a Piperaceae occurring in the Amazon region with known resistance to infection by Fusarium solani f. sp. piperis, the causal agent of root rot disease in black pepper (Piper nigrum L.). This Pt12 isolate was a.. Read More»

One-Step RT-qPCR assay for detection and quantification of equine infectious anemia virus in-vitro
Authors: B.L. Bueno, F.G. Oliveira, G.K. Lima1, A.A. Fonseca Júnior, T.C. Kassar, R.J.F. Câmara, R.C. Leite and J.K.P. Reis
Equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV) infection often results in an initial febrile response, followed by recurrent cycles of the disease and finally, a prolonged asymptomatic period. These variations in clinical signs are due to a number of factors, including virus strain, equid species and differences in susceptibility among.. Read More»

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the main risk factor for cervical cancer. However, other risk factors include smoking and genetic susceptibility. Glutathione-S-Transferases (GST) is enzymes involved in tobacco carcinogens metabolism and genes encoding these enzymes are highly polymorphic. The objective of this study wa.. Read More»
