Expression of glutamine synthetase in Tegillarca granosa (Bivalvia, Arcidae) hemocytes stimulated by Vibrio parahaemolyticus and lipopolysaccharides
Authors: Y.B. Bao, L. Li, M.X. Ye, Y.H. Dong, W.X. Jin and Z.H. Lin
The blood cockle, Tegillarca granosa, is a widely consumed clam in the Indo-Pacific region. Glutamine synthetase (GS) is an enzyme that plays an essential role in the metabolism of nitrogen by catalyzing the condensation of glutamate and ammonia to form glutamine. We identified the GS of T. granosa (Tg-GS) from hemocytes by 3'- and 5'-rapid amplification .. Read More»

Biplot analysis of phenotypic stability in upland cotton genotypes in Mato Grosso
Authors: F.J.C. Farias, L.P. Carvalho, J.L. Silva Filho and P.E. Teodoro
Seed cotton yield is a trait governed by multiple genes that cause changes in the performance of genotypes depending on the cultivation environment. Breeding programs examine the genotype x environment interaction (GE) using precise statistical methods, such as AMMI (additive main effects and multiplicative interaction) and GG.. Read More»

Genome-wide identification and phylogenetic analysis of the AP2/ERF gene superfamily in sweet orange (Citrus sinensis)
Authors: T.M. Ito, P.B. Polido, M.C. Rampim, G. Kaschuk and S.G.H. Souza
Sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) plays an important role in the economy of more than 140 countries, but it is grown in areas with intermittent stressful soil and climatic conditions. The stress tolerance could be addressed by manipulating the ethylene response factor (ERF) transcription factors because they orchestrate .. Read More»

Assessment of genetic diversity of Tunisian orange, Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck using microsatellite (SSR) markers
Authors: A. Mahjbi, A. Oueslati, G. Baraket, A. Salhi-Hannachi and S. Zehdi Azouzi
Citrus are one of the most cultivated crops in the world. Economically, they are very important fruit trees in Tunisia. Little is known about the genetic diversity of the Tunisian Citrus germplasm. Exploring this diversity is a prerequisite for the identification and characterization of the local germplasm to circumvent and co.. Read More»

Identification and expression analysis of YABBY family genes associated with fruit shape in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.)
Authors: H.Q. Han, Y. Liu, M.M. Jiang, H.Y. Ge and H.Y. Chen
YABBY family genes play important roles in the development of leaf, flower, and fruit. The purpose of this research was to integrate all the YABBY genes and analyze the correlation between gene expression and fruit shape in tomato. Scanning of 24 genomes of sequenced species demonstrated that YABBY genes were very normal and stable in flowering plants exc.. Read More»

Genome-wide analysis of TCP family in tobacco
Authors: L. Chen, Y.Q. Chen, A.M. Ding, H. Chen, F. Xia, W.F. Wang and Y.H. Sun
The TCP family is a transcription factor family, members of which are extensively involved in plant growth and development as well as in signal transduction in the response against many physiological and biochemical stimuli. In the present study, 61 TCP genes were identified in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) genome. Bioinformatic.. Read More»
