Chrysanthemums are well known for their esthetic and medicinal values. Characterization of chrysanthemums is vital for their conservation and management as well as for understanding their genetic relationships. We found 12 simple sequence repeat markers (SSRs) of 100 designed primers to be polymorphic. These novel SSR markers were used to evaluate 95 acce.. Read More»

Expressions of Src homology 2 domain-containing phosphatase and its clinical significance in laryngeal carcinoma
Authors: L.B. Dong1, G.Q. Li2, Z.H. Tian2, Z.M. Wang2 and K. Xu2
We investigated the expression of Src homology 2 domain-containing phosphatase (SHP-2) in laryngeal carcinoma and its clinical significance. Expression of SHP-2 was detected by immunohistochemical staining in normal mucosal tissues and various grades of laryngeal carcinoma. We looked for possible correlations between expression of SHP-2 in laryngeal carci.. Read More»

Intraspecific and interspecific polyploidy of Brazilian species of the genus Inga (Leguminosae: Mimosoideae)
Authors: M.F. Figueiredo, R.L.A. Bruno, A.E. Barros e Silva, S. Nascimento, I.G. Oliveira and L.P. Felix
We investigated the karyotypes of 13 species of six sections of the genus Inga (Leguminosae-Mimosoideae) from Brazil. We used conventional Giemsa staining to identify numerical chromosomal variations and looked for karyotypic evolutionary patterns. The karyotypes generally had small chromosomes, varying from metacentric to sub.. Read More»

Genetic variability of Dactylopius opuntiae (Hemiptera, Dactylopiidae) on forage cactus in northeast Brazil
Authors: D.M.P. Silva1, A.C. do E.S. Mergulh�£o2, L.V. de Medeiros2,M.V.B. Figueiredo3 and H.A. Burity3
The carmine cochineal Dactylopius opuntiae is a key pest in productive fields of forage cactus in Pernambuco, Brazil. Species identification by means of molecular markers assists in understanding the genetic profile, underpins morphological characterization, and supports the monitoring of populations in integrated management programs designed to control t..

We conducted SSR analyses of 59 accessions, including 29 traditional plum (Prunus domestica), 24 sweet cherry (Prunus avium), and 1 sour cherry (Prunus cerasus) selected from East Anatolian gene sources and 3 plum and 2 cherry reference accessions for molecular characterization and investigation of genetic relationships. Eight SSR loci [1 developed from t.. Read More»

Difference between ferritin genes overexpressing in transgenic tobacco
Authors: X. Tang, D. Zou, L. Zhang, C. Yang and T. Jiang
With the development of molecular biology techniques, intron was known as playing an imperative role in gene’s expression and regulation. Transgenic tobacco IN lines overexpressing InFer1 gene and NT lines overexpressing NtFer1 cDNA gene were obtained, and the exogenous gene expression were confirmed by molecular test. T.. Read More»

High genetic variation among Aschersonia placenta (Clavicipitaceae) isolates from citrus orchards in China
Authors: P.P. Wang1,2, X.H. Song1,3 and H.Y. Zhang
Aschersonia placenta had been recognized as an important fungal pathogen of whiteflies. In recent years, natural occurrence of Aschersonia in whitefly populations was observed in many citrus orchards in the southern regions of China. We analyzed 60 A. placenta isolates obtained from Chinese citrus orchards, using inter-simple sequence repeats to examine t.. Read More»

Functions of microRNA in response to cocaine stimulation
Authors: L.-F. Xu, J. Wang, F.B. Lv and Q. Song
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a type of non-protein-coding single-stranded RNA, which are typically 20-25 nt in length. miRNAs play important roles in various biological processes, including development, cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. We aimed to detect the miRNA response to cocaine stimulations and their target .. Read More»

Functional characterization of the Ginkgo biloba chalcone synthase gene promoter in transgenic tobacco
Authors: L.L. Li, H. Cheng, H.H. Yuan, F. Xu, S.Y. Cheng and F.L. Cao
The regulative sequence (2273 bp) of the chalcone synthase gene promoter of biloba was cloned by genomic walking. A 2273-bp promoter 5' upstream translation start site of GbCHS was cloned and designated as GbCHSP. pBI121+CHSP:GUS and pBI121-35S:GUS were constructed and transformed into tobacco by LBA4404. We found that GbCHSP .. Read More»

Distribution and pathogen identification of cassava brown leaf spot in China
Authors: Y.L. Pei, T. Shi, C.P. Li, X.B. Liu, J.M. Cai and G.X. Huang
Cassava brown leaf spot surveys were conducted in the main cassava plantation areas of China between 2007 and 2012 in order to understand the distribution of the disease. Cassava plants were damaged by the disease to different degrees in most of the survey sites. Samples were collected and seven strains were isolated fro.. Read More»
