Characterization and identification of ISSR markers associated with oil content in sea buckthorn berries
Authors: J. Ding, C.J. Ruan, Y. Guan, J.Y. Shan, H. Li and Y.H. Bao
Bioactive oils extracted from sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) berries contain highly nutritional and medicinal compounds; however, the oil contents of sea buckthorn berries are very low. Thirteen inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) primers were used to identify markers associated with oil content of dry pulp in 51 cultivars and lines, which clustered.. Read More»

Authors: W. Wang, C.Y. Ma, W. Chen, H.Y. Ma, H. Zhang, Y.Y. Meng, Y. Ni and L.B. Ma
Determining correlations between certain traits of economic importance constitutes an essential component of selective activities. In this study, our aim was to provide effective indicators for breeding programs of Lateolabrax maculatus, an important aquaculture species in China. We analyzed correlations between 20 morphometric traits and body weight, usi.. Read More»

Analysis of simple sequence repeat markers linked with blast disease resistance genes in a segregating population of rice (Oryza sativa)
Authors: S. Ashkani, M.Y. Rafii, M. Sariah, A. Siti Nor Akmar, I. Rusli, H. Abdul Rahim and M.A. Latif
Among 120 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers, 23 polymorphic markers were used to identify the segregation ratio in 320 individuals of an F2 rice population derived from Pongsu Seribu 2, a resistant variety, and Mahsuri, a susceptible rice cultivar. For phenotypic study, the most virulent blast (Magnaporthe oryzae) pathotype.. Read More»

Embolus-carried vascular endothelial cell growth factor 165 improves angiogenesis in thromboangiitis obliterans
Authors: Q. Liu, H.C. Zhou, X.L. Yang, Y.P. Zhao, H.P. Luo, C.W. He and X.B. Wan
We investigated neovasculization effects of embolus-carried human vascular endothelial cell growth factor 165 (VEGF165)-encoded adenovirus (Ad) vector in the hindlimbs of rats with thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO). Rats were equally divided into blank control (I), TAO model (II), embolus (III), Ad-VEGF165 intravascular treatme.. Read More»

Plasmid construction for genetic modification of dicotyledonous plants with a glycolate oxidizing pathway
Authors: X.L. Bai, D. Wang, L.J. Wei and Y. Wang
There are many kinds of dicotyledonous C3 plants, which often release CO2 fixed by photosynthesis and consume energy in photorespiration. In Escherichia coli, glycolate can be metabolized by an oxidation pathway that has some of the same compounds as dicotyledonous photorespiration. With the bacterial glycolate metabolism path..

Genetic trend estimates of meat quality traits in a male broiler line
Authors: G.B. MourÃ?£o, L.G. Gaya, J.B.S. Ferraz, E.C. Mattos, A.M.M.A. Costa, T. Michelan Filho, O.C. Cunha Neto, A.M. FelÃ?Âcio and J.P. Eler
The present research was conducted to estimate the genetic trends for meat quality traits in a male broiler line. The traits analyzed were initial pH, pH at 6 h after slaughter, final pH, initial range of falling pH, final range of falling pH, lightness, redness, yellowness, weep loss, drip loss, shrink loss, and shear force. ..

Spermatogenesis in Nesotriatoma bruneri (Usinger 1944) (Hemiptera, Triatominae)
Authors: Y.V. Reis, K.C.C. Alevi, F.F.F. Moreira and M.T.V. Azeredo-Oliveira
The Nesotriatoma genus consists of the species N. flavida N. bruneri and N. obscura, forming the Flavida complex. Variation in the size and morphological differences intraspecific of N. flavida led to the description of N. bruneri. Two years later, the same author proposed the synonymization of N. bruneri with N. flavida. Only in 1981 the specific status .. Read More»

Genetic control of the resistance of common beans to white mold using the reaction to oxalic acid
Authors: R.P. Antonio, J.B. Santos, T.P. Souza and F.F. Carneiro
The use of genetically resistant cultivars is the best method to reduce losses caused by white mold (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary). As the best known resistance sources are not adapted, the genetic control of white mold in the common bean must be understood to guide breeding more efficiently. The objective of the pr.. Read More»

Genetic variability of NaCl tolerance in tomato
Authors: A. Saeed, M.F. Saleem, M. Zakria, S.A. Anjum, A. Shakeel and N. Saeed
Cultivation of crops in soils with high salt (NaCl) content can affect plant development. We examined the morphological and physiological mechanisms of salt tolerance in tomato. The responses of 72 accessions of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) to salinity were compared by measuring shoot and root lengths, and fresh shoot and roo.. Read More»
