Authors: J. Yang, B. Li, S.W. Liu M.K. Biswas, S. Liu, Y.R. Wei, C.W. Zuo, G.M. Deng, R.B. Kuang, C.H. Hu, G.J. Yi and C.Y. Li
Fusarium wilt (also known as Panama disease) is one of the most destructive banana diseases, and greatly hampers the global production of bananas. Consequently, it has been very detrimental to the Chinese banana industry. An infected plant is one of the major causes of the spread of Fusarium wilt to nearby regions. It is essen.. Read More»

Genome-wide identification and analysis of the SGR gene family in Cucumis melo L.
Authors: R.G. Bade, M.L. Bao, W.Y. Jin, Y. Ma, Y.D. Niu and A. Hasi
Chlorophyll (CHL) is present in many plant organs, and its metabolism is strongly regulated throughout plant development. Understanding the fate of CHL in senescent leaves or during fruit ripening is a complex process. The stay-green (SGR) protein has been shown to affect CHL degradation. In this study, we used the conserved s.. Read More»

Quantitative trait loci mapping of the stigma exertion rate and spikelet number per panicle in rice (Oryza sativa L.)
Authors: M.H. Rahman, P. Yu , Y.X. Zhang, L.P. Sun, W.X. Wu, X.H. Shen,X.D. Zhan, D.B. Chen, L.Y. Cao and S.H. Cheng
The stigma exertion rate is a polygenic inherited trait that is important for increased seed yield in hybrid rice breeding. To identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with high stigma exertion rate, we conducted QTL mapping using 134 recombinant inbred lines derived from XieqingzaoB and Zhonghui9308, which have high ..

Screening and characterization of novel microsatellite loci in Lateolabrax japonicus
Authors: B.B. Li, Z.B. Li, J.B. Shangguan, Y.F. Ning, Y. Yuan, Y.S. Huang and X.Q. Mao
Lateolabrax japonicus, an economically important species, is widely consumed in the offshore coasts of China, Korea, and Japan. We identified 10 new L. japonicus microsatellite markers, using a modified protocol of fast isolation by AFLP of sequences containing repeats. Thirty L. japonicus individuals were collected from Xiame.. Read More»

Correlations and path analysis among agronomic and technological traits of upland cotton
Authors: F.J.C. Farias, L.P. Carvalho, J.L. Silva Filho and P.E. Teodoro
To date, path analysis has been used with the aim of breeding different cultures. However, for cotton, there have been few studies using this analysis, and all of these have used fiber productivity as the primary dependent variable. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to identify agronomic and technological properties that can be used as criteria .. Read More»

Incongruent evolution of chromosomal size in rice
Authors: X. Guo, G. Xu, Y. Zhang, X. Wen, W. Hu and L. Fan
To investigate genome size evolution, it is usually informative to compare closely related species that vary dramatically in genome size. A whole genome duplication (polyploidy) that occurred in rice (Oryza sativa) about 70 million years ago has been well documented based on current genome sequencing. The presence of three dis..

Population structure analysis and association mapping of blast resistance in indica rice (Oryza sativa L.) landraces
Authors: Y.Y. Wu, J.B. He, A.H. Li, N.Y. Fang, W.W. He, L.L. Dang, G.Y. Zeng, J. Huang, Y.M. Bao and H.S. Zhang
Rice blast caused by Magnaporthe oryzae is one of the most devastating rice diseases worldwide. To understand the genetic diversity of indica landrace accessions and identify simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers that are associated with blast resistance, a population of 276 indica landraces from across the world was constructed. This population was then u.. Read More»

Amino acid composition of royal jelly harvested at different times after larval transfer
Authors: H. Jie, P.M. Li, G.J. Zhao, X.L. Feng, D.J. Zeng, C.L. Zhang, M.Y. Lei, M. Yu and Q. Chen
The amino acids in royal jelly (RJ) have a wide range of pharmacological and health-promoting functions in humans. Multiple studies on the amino acid quality and composition in RJ have investigated RJ harvested at 72 h after larval transfer. In contrast, the concentration of amino acids in RJ harvested before 72 h remains unknown. In this study, the conce.. Read More»

Sampling strategies for natural Toona ciliata populations
Authors: J. Liu and J.M. Jiang
The genetic diversity and spatial autocorrelation of Toona ciliata populations were analyzed with eight microsatellite markers to determine an appropriate sampling strategy for the effective conservation of natural T. ciliata populations. The average number of alleles and effective number of alleles were 6.1 and 2.7, respectiv.. Read More»

Biological, serological and molecular typing of potato virus Y (PVY) isolates from Tunisia
Authors: M. Tayahi, C. Gharsallah, N. Khamassy, H. Fakhfakh and F. Djilani-Khouadja
In Tunisia, potato virus Y (PVY) currently presents a significant threat to potato production, reducing tuber yield and quality. Three hundred and eighty-five potato samples (six different cultivars) collected in autumn 2007 from nine regions in Tunisia were tested for PVY infection by DAS-ELISA. The virus was detected in all .. Read More»
