Multicollinearity in canonical correlation analysis in maize
Authors: B.M. Alves, A. Cargnelutti Filho and C. Burin
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of multicollinearity under two methods of canonical correlation analysis (with and without elimination of variables) in maize (Zea mays L.) crop. Seventy-six maize genotypes were evaluated in three experiments, conducted in a randomized block design with three replication.. 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»

Enhancer/Suppressor mutator (En/Spm)-like transposable elements of cassava (Manihot esculenta) are transcriptionally inactive
Authors: M.A. Gbadegesin and J.R. Beeching
Transposable elements contribute to the size, structure, variation, and diversity of the genome and have major effects on gene function. Sequencing projects have revealed the diversity of transposable elements in many organisms and have shown that they constitute a high percentage of the genome. PCR-based techniques using dege..

Evidence of ecotypic differentiation between populations of the tree species Parapiptadenia rigida due to flooding
Authors: D.C.G. Silva, M.C.C.G. Carvalho, P.M. Ruas, C.F. Ruas and M.E. Medri
The tree species Parapiptadenia rigida, native to southern South America, is frequently used in reforestation of riverbanks in Brazil. This tree is also a source of gums, tannins and essential oils, and it has some medicinal uses. We investigated flooding tolerance and genetic diversity in two populations of P. rigida; one of ..

Genetic linkage between protein and DNA polymorphisms and antioxidant capacity of Cuminum cyminum L. accessions
Authors: E. Abdelhaliem and A.A. Al-Huqail
This study aimed to link the genetic variation observed using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis among 11 Cuminum cyminum L. accessions, collected from diverse ecogeographical areas in Saudi Arabia, with their antioxidant capacity to better ..

Genetic dissection of agronomic traits in Capsicum baccatum var. pendulum
Authors: M.M. Moulin, R. Rodrigues, C.S. Bento, L.S.A. Gon�?§alves,J.O. Santos, C.P. Sudr�?© and A.P. Viana
Genetic mapping is very useful for dissecting complex agronomic traits. Genetic mapping allows for identification of quantitative trait loci (QTL), provide knowledge on a gene position and its adjacent region, and enable prediction of evolutionary mechanisms, in addition to contributing to synteny studies. The aim of this study was to predict genetic valu.. Read More»

Effects of low-energy argon ion implantation on the dynamic organization of the actin cytoskeleton during maize pollen germination
Authors: F. Deng, S.W. Zhu, L.J. Wu and B.J. Cheng
The relationship between pollen germination and the dynamic organization of the actin cytoskeleton during pollen germination is a central theme in plant reproductive biology research. Maize (Zea mays) pollen grains were implanted with 30 keV argon ion (Ar+) beams at doses ranging from 0.78 × 1015 to 13 × 1015 ions/.. Read More»

Biodiversity in the sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) germplasm of Pakistan
Authors: A. Iqba, B. Sadia, A.I. Khan, F.S. Awan, R.A. Kainth and H.A. Sadaqat
Sorghum ranks fifth in worldwide economic importance among cereal crops and is one of the most important summer annual grasses of Pakistan. As it is a very diverse crop, sorghum genetic fingerprinting requires an efficient marker system. We estimated genetic divergence among 29 sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) genotypes, including ap..

Molecular cloning and characterization of a subtilisin-like protease from Arabidopsis thaliana
Authors: D.H. Li, H. Xi, X.B. Yu and Y.P. Cai
The Arabidopsis thaliana genome encodes 56 subtilisin-like serine proteases (subtilases). In order to evaluate the protease activity of a previously uncharacterized subtilase, designated as AtSBT1.9, we cloned its full-length cDNA from A. thaliana seedlings. An AtSBT1.9 mature peptide coding sequence was inserted into the bacterial expression vector, pMAL.. Read More»

Cloning and expression analysis of terpenoid metabolism-related gene NsyCMS in Nicotiana sylvestris
Authors: J. Lv, G.S. Liu, W. Li, Z. Hussian and Y.H. Sun
Terpenoids constitute the main class of secondary metabolites produced in plants with industrial, pharmacological, and agricultural interests. Nicotiana sylvestris has been widely adopted as a diploid model system in plant biology for studies of terpenoid biosynthesis. In this paper, we report the isolation and analysis of the 2-C-methyl-d-erythritol 2,4-.. Read More»
