Characterization of the �²-1,3-glucanase gene in peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) by cloning and genetic transformation
Authors: L.X. Qiao, X. Ding, H.C. Wang, J.M. Sui and J.-S. Wang
Plant b-1,3-glucanases are commonly involved in disease resistance. This report describes the cloning and genetic transformation of a b-1,3-glucanase gene from peanut. The gene was isolated from both the genomic DNA and cDNA of peanut variety Huayu20 by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR), re.. Read More»

Genetic and biochemical differentiation in Vitis vinifera (Kabarcik) populations grown at different altitudes in Coruh Valley
Authors: G. Agar, N. Yildirim and S. Ercisli
We examined genetic differences of four Vitis vinifera populations (A, B, C, D) including local Kabarcik cultivar grown along an altitude gradient of 800, 900, 1000, and 1150 m above sea level in the Coruh Valley (800 m: A population; 900 m: B population; 1000 m: C population; 1150 m: D population). Leaf samples were used for .. Read More»

A transient assay for recombination demonstrates that Arabidopsis SNM1 and XRCC3 enhance non-homologous recombination
Authors: R.A. Johnson, R.P. Hellens and D.R. Love
Replacement of endogenous genes by homologous recombination is rare in plants; the majority of genetic modifications are the result of transforming DNA molecules undergoing random genomic insertion by way of non-homologous recombination. Factors that affect chromatin remodeling and DNA repair are thought to have the potential .. Read More»

Isolation, characterization, and cross-transferability of microsatellite markers from the whitebacked planthopper (Sogatella furcifera)
Authors: L. Zhang, G. Li, G.C. He, L.L. Zhu, R. Qin and S.L. Jing
The whitebacked planthopper Sogatella furcifera (Horváth) (Hemiptera: Delphacidae) is one of the most harmful pests of rice. In this study, 18 polymorphic microsatellite markers were developed from S. furcifera genomic libraries using the fast isolation by amplified fragment length polymorphism of sequences containing r..

Study on quality standards for Chimonanthus nitens
Authors: B. Zhou, S.-Z. Liu, M.-J. Li, Z.-H. Chen, P. Wang and D. Cheng
Chimonanthus nitens Oliv. is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine. Terpenoids, flavonoids, and coumarins are usually considered its main bioactive ingredients. Thus, qualitative and quantitative analyses of these compounds are crucial in quality control studies of Chimonanthus nitens. In this study, five compounds were.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of Annona crassiflora (Annonaceae) in northern Minas Gerais State
Authors: L.G. Cota, F.A. Vieira, A.F. Melo J�ºnior, M.M. Brand�£o, K.N.O. Santana, M.L. Guedes and D.A. Oliveira
Genetic diversity analyses of tropical tree species are relevant to landscape management, plant genetic resource inventory, and biological conservation of threatened species. Annona crassiflora is an endangered fruit tree native to the Cerrado biome that is threatened by reduction of natural populations and fruit extraction. W.. Read More»

Genetic relationship of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) varieties from Senegal based on SSR markers
Authors: F.A. Badiane, B.S. Gowda, N. Ciss�©, D. Diouf, O. Sadio and M.P. Timko
Genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships among 22 local cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) varieties and inbred lines collected throughout Senegal were evaluated using simple sequence repeat molecular markers. A set of 49 primer combinations were developed from cowpea genomic/expressed sequence tags and evaluated for their abi.. Read More»

Genomic changes at the early stage of somatic hybridization
Authors: Y. Sun, C.H. Xu, M.Q. Wang, D.Y. Zhi and G.M. Xia
A broad spectrum of genetic and epigenetic changes is induced by wide hybridization and subsequent polyploidization, but the timing of these events remains obscure because early hybrid cells are very difficult to harvest and analyze. Here, we used both cytological and genetic marker approaches to analyze the constitution of very young somatic hybrid cells.. Read More»

Analysis of genetic distance by SSR in waxy maize
Authors: R.H. Yu, Y.L. Wang, Y. Sun and B. Liu
We examined the genetic diversity of 80 inbred waxy maize lines using 22 SSR molecular markers that could be used to achieve heterosis in waxy maize. Eighty inbred waxy maize lines with different phenotypes, 40 yellow, 25 white, 13 black, and two red lines were analyzed by SSR molecular marker fingerprint and cluster analysis... Read More»

Studies of genetic effects of early selection of maize based on seed quality traits are rare, especially those that use materials from different heterotic groups. These studies are also useful in tropical environments and for the advancement of sustainable agriculture with cropping during seasons not commonly used for cultivat.. Read More»
