Authors: H.X. Song, A.M. Ping, M.X. Sun, X.H. Qi, M.Y. Gao, X.Y. Xu,Z.J. Zhu, M.L. Li and L.P. Hou
Pak choi is a highly nutritious vegetable that is widely grown in China, Southeast Asia, and other parts of the world. Because it reproduces by seed, it is very important to understand the mechanism of floral organ development. Therefore, using the Chinese cabbage genome as a reference, this study analyzed the expression profi.. Read More»

Genetic linkage map of EST-SSR and SRAP markers in the endangered Chinese endemic herb Dendrobium (Orchidaceae)
Authors: J.J. Lu S. Wang H.Y. Zhao J.J. Liu H.Z. Wang
Dendrobium officinale is an endangered orchid from southeast Asia that is known for its medicinal properties in traditional Chinese medicine. We constructed an integrated genetic linkage map of an F1 population derived from an interspecific cross between D. officinale and D. aduncum (both, 2n = 38), using expressed sequence tag-simple sequence repeats (ES..

Cloning and bioinformatic analysis of full-length novel pepper (Capsicum annuum) genes TAF10 and TAF13
Authors: J.F. Wen, J.L. Huo, H.X. Chen, C.H. Ma, H. Jiang, H.S. Zhu, H. Zhou and M.H. Deng
We isolated two TATA-binding protein-associated factor (TAF) genes, TAF10 and TAF13, from pepper (Capsicum annuum). The complete coding sequences were amplified using reverse transcriptase-PCR on the basis of conserved sequence information of eggplant and several other plant species. Nucleotide sequence analysis of these two genes revealed that the pepper.. Read More»

Impacts of transgenic poplar-cotton agro-ecosystems upon target pests and non-target insects under field conditions
Authors: D.J. Zhang, J.X. Liu, Z.Y. Lu, C.L. Li, E. Comada and M.S. Yang
Poplar-cotton agro-ecosystems are the main agricultural planting modes of cotton fields in China. With increasing acres devoted to transgenic insect-resistant poplar and transgenic insect-resistant cotton, studies examining the effects of transgenic plants on target and non-target insects become increasingly important. We systematically surveyed populatio.. Read More»

Genetic diversity among melon accessions (Cucumis melo) from Turkey based on SSR markers
Authors: Y.A. Ka�§ar O. Simsek I. Solmaz N. Sari Y.Y. Mendi
Melon (Cucumis melo) is an important vegetable crop in Turkey, where it is grown in many regions; the most widely planted lines are local winter types belonging to the var. inodorous. We examined 81 melon genotypes collected from different provinces of Turkey, compared with 15 reference melon genotypes obtained from INRA/France, to determine genetic diversit.. Read More»

Genetic diversity and the conservation priority of Glycine soja populations from Northern China
Authors: Y.L. Niu, W.Y. Guo, L.R. Bai and J.C. Zhao
ABSTRACT. Knowledge of the spatial patterns of genetic variation in wild populations has significant implications for in situ conservation and the determination of conservation order. To study the levels of genetic diversity, spatial genetic structures, and genetic distances in Glycine soja, 11 natural populations in northern China were analyzed by estima.. Read More»

Screening relevant genes of tolerance to low phosphorus in maize using cDNA-amplified fragment length polymorphism
Authors: H.Y. Jiang, Z. Li, J. Zhao, Q. Ma, B.J. Cheng and S.W. Zhu
Soil contains a large amount of phosphorus, but plants cannot absorb most of this phosphorus effectively. Low inorganic phosphorus has been singled out as a major constraint that leads to a perpetually low Zea mays (maize) grain yield. The fundamental approach to solving this problem is to screen new genes of low phosphorous (LP) tolerance. Consequently, .. Read More»

Genetic potential of common bean progenies selected for crude fiber content obtained through different breeding methods
Authors: V.A.P. J�ºnior, P.G.S. Melo, H.S. Pereira, P.Z. Bassinello and L.C. Melo
Gastrointestinal health is of great importance due to the increasing consumption of functional foods, especially those concerning diets rich in fiber content. The common bean has been valorized as a nutritious food due to its appreciable fiber content and the fact that it is consumed in many countries. The current study aimed to evaluate and compare the g.. Read More»

Changes in peripheral blood Th1 and Th2 cells in rat liver transplantation under different immune statuses
Authors: Z.-L. Yang, K. Cheng, H.G. Sun, W.W. Zou and M.M. Wu
In this study, early expressions of peripheral blood Th1 and Th2 cells were documented following rat liver transplantation and related to immune status. Rats were divided into 3 groups: group A (control): syngeneic transplantation (Brown Norway (BN) → BN); group B: allogeneic transplantation + cyclosporine A (CsA); group C: allogeneic transplantation..

Effect of Rhizoma paridis total saponins on apoptosis of colorectal cancer cells and imbalance of the JAK/STAT3 molecular pathway induced by IL-6 suppression
Authors: W-J. Teng, P. Chen, F.-Y. Zhu, K. Di, C. Zhou, J. Zhuang,X.-J. Cao, J. Yang, L.-J. Deng and C.-G. Sun
We observed the influence of different concentrations of Rhizoma paridis total saponins (RPTS) on the apoptosis of colorectal cancer cells and explored the internal mechanism involved. We determined whether RPTS influences the interleukin-6 (IL-6)/Janus kinase (JAK)- signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 (STAT3) apoptosis molecular pathway an.. Read More»
