Authors: D.M. Li, C.Y. Zhao, X.R. Liu, X.F. Liu, Y.J. Lin, J.W. Liu, H.M. Chen and F.B. LÃ?Â?
Paphiopedilum orchids (Orchidaceae) have attracted much attention from botanists and horticulturists because of their peculiar leaves and beautiful flowers. Furthermore, the dry roots of Paphiopedilum plants have well-known medicinal uses. However, it is unknown how sensitive and plastic the root genes are to environmental changes or how these environment.. Read More»

Karyotype asymmetry in Cynodon Rich. (Poaceae) accessions
Authors: R.B. Chiavegatto, C.M.P. Paula, F. Souza Sobrinho, F.R.G. Benites and V.H. Techio
Cynodon is a genus of plants with forage potential that has attracted the interest of breeders. These species have high morphological variability in a large number of varieties and cytotypes, hampering identification. This study aimed to determine the karyotype asymmetry index among accessions of Cynodon to discriminate betwee.. Read More»

Genetic divergence and admixture of ancestral genome groups in the sugarcane variety �RB867515� (Saccharum spp
Authors: G.B. Maranho, R.C. Maranho, R. Desordi, A.F. das Neves, C.A. Mangolin and M.F.P.S. Machado
We analyzed 80 plants of the sugarcane (Saccharum spp) variety ‘RB867515’ in order to investigate its diversity and genetic structure at the molecular level. Four simple sequence repeat (SSR) loci (UGSM51, SMC1237, SEGMS1069, and UGSM38) and five expressed sequence tag (EST)-SSR loci (ESTA68, ESTB92, ESTB145, ESTC6.. Read More»

Identification of the CAD gene from Eucalyptus urophylla GLU4 and its functional analysis in transgenic tobacco
Authors: B.W. Chen, Y.F. Xiao, J.J. Li, H.L. Liu, Z.H. Qin, Y. Gai and X.N. Jiang
Cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (CAD) catalyzes the final step in lignin biosynthesis. The genus Eucalyptus belongs to the family Myrtaceae, which is the main cultivated species in China. Eucalyptus urophylla GLU4 (GLU4) is widely grown in Guangxi. It is preferred for pulping because of its excellent cellulose content and fiber.. Read More»

Evaluation of four protein extraction methods for proteomic analysis of mango peel
Authors: D.J. Liao, X.P. Lu, H.S. Chen, Y. Lu and Z.Y. Mo
The peel of mango (Mangifera indica L.) is a special plant tissue that contains many compounds that interfere with protein extraction. A successful separation with Two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) is the key step for proteomic analysis. To evaluate the efficiencies of mango peel protein extraction for 2-DE, four extracti..
