Authors: I.L. Vighi, L.C. Benitez, M.N. do Amaral, P.A. Auler, G.P. Moraes, G.S. Rodrigues, L.C. da Maia, L.S. Pinto and E.J.B. Braga
Different rice (Oryza sativa L.) genotypes were subjected to high salinity and low temperature (150 mM NaCl and 13°C, respectively) for 0, 6, 24, 48, or 72 h. We evaluated the simultaneous expression of the genes OsCATA, OsCATB, and OsCATC, correlated gene expression with enzyme activity, and verified the regulation of the.. Read More»

Development of RAPD-SCAR markers for different Ganoderma species authentication by improved RAPD amplification and molecular cloning
Authors: J.J. Fu, M.A. Khan, Z.Q. Mei, M. Tania, L.Q. Yang and J.L. Cheng
The sequence-characterized amplified region (SCAR) is a valuable molecular technique for the genetic identification of any species. This method is mainly derived from the molecular cloning of the amplified DNA fragments achieved from the random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD). In this study, we collected DNA from 10 species of Ganoderma mushroom and ampl.. Read More»

Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of CIPK genes in diploid cottons
Authors: J.J. Wang, X.K. Lu, Z.J. Yin, M. Mu, X.J. Zhao, D.L. Wang, S. Wang, W.L. Fan, L.X. Guo, W.W. Ye and S.X. Yu
Calcineurin B-like protein-interacting protein kinase (CIPK) plays a key regulatory role in the growth, development, and stress resistance of plants by combining with phosphatase B subunit-like protein. In the present study, CIPK genes were identified in the whole genomes of diploid cottons and their sequences were subjected t.. Read More»

Relationship between genetic polymorphisms in the DRD5 gene and paranoid schizophrenia in northern Han Chinese
Authors: Y. Zhao, M. Ding, H. Pang, X.M. Xu and B.J. Wang
Dopamine (DA) has been implicated in the pathophysiology of several psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia. Thus, genes related to the dopaminergic (DAergic) system are good candidate genes for schizophrenia. One of receptors of the DA receptor system is dopamine receptor 5 (DRD5). Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs.. Read More»

Genetic analysis of molecular markers for propamocarb residue in Cucumis sativus using quantitative trait locus mapping
Authors: M. Xin, L. Wang, B.H. Ma, Z.W. Qin and X.Y. Zhou
The use of pesticides to protect plants against harmful organisms, such as pathogenic microorganisms, is one of the most effective ways to improve agricultural production. However, the continuous use of pesticides might present a risk to human health, animals, and the environment. In this study, two cucumber (Cucumis sativus) .. Read More»

In order to understand the effect of grain moisture of inbred lines at the silking and physiological maturity stages on kerneldehydration rate, 59 maize inbred lines from six subgroups were selected. Grain moisture was measured and QTLs associated with kernel dehydration were mapped. A rapid dehydration evaluation and association analysis revealed eight i.. Read More»

Clinical effects and safety of interventional therapy for parenchyma vascular malformation
Authors: M.J. Cai, W.X. Liang , W.W. Mai, W.L. He and H.X. Kuang
Parenchyma vascular malformation (VM) is a common disease in modern society. Here, we investigated the clinical effects and safety of interventional therapy (IT) on the treatment of parenchyma VM. From January 1998 to December 2010, 31 patients with VM who elected IT were investigated, including 11 cases of venous VM and 20 ca.. Read More»
