Mendelian inheritance, genetic linkage, and genotypic disequilibrium at nine microsatellite loci of Cariniana legalis (Mart.) O. Kuntze
Authors: E.V. Tambarussi1, R. Vencovsky1, M.L.M. Freitas2 and A.M. Sebbenn3
Cariniana legalis is one of the largest tropical trees with a wide distribution in the Brazilian Atlantic rainforest. We investigated the Mendelian inheritance, genetic linkage, and genotypic disequilibrium at seven microsatellite loci specifically isolated for C. legalis, and at two previously developed heterologous microsatellite loci. Forty to 100 open.. Read More»

Global comparison of gene expression between subcutaneous and intramuscular adipose tissue of mature Erhualian pig
Authors: W.X. Sun1, H.H. Wang1,2, B.C. Jiang1, Y.Y. Zhao1, Z.R. Xie1, K. Xiong1 and J. Chen1
Adipose tissue plays an important role in energy metabolism and related diseases. The content of intramuscular fat significantly influences the pork quality. In this study, the whole gene expression of dorsal subcutaneous (s.c.) adipose tissue and intramuscular (i.m.) adipose tissue isolated from longissimus dorsi muscle tissue were compared using Affymet..

Overexpression of an alternative oxidase gene, OsAOX1a, improves cold tolerance in Oryza sativa L.
Authors: C.R. Li1,2*, D.D. Liang1,2*, R.F. Xu1,2*, H. Li2,3, Y.P. Zhang2, R.Y. Qin2, L. Li1,2, P.C. Wei2,3 and J.B. Yang2
Low temperature is a major environmental stress in rice cultivating and production. The alternative oxidase 1 (AOX1) gene is potentially important for genetic engineering to increase cold adaptation. However, previous studies related to this effect have mostly focused on the dicot plants Arabidopsis and tobacco, whereas functional research on rice is limi.. Read More»

Genome-wide analysis of the homeodomain-leucine zipper (HD-ZIP) gene family in peach (Prunus persica)
Authors: C.H. Zhang, R.J. Ma, Z.J. Shen, X. Sun, N.K. Korir and M.L. Yu
In this study, 33 homeodomain-leucine zipper (HD-ZIP) genes were identified in peach using the HD-ZIP amino acid sequences of Arabidopsis thaliana as a probe. Based on the phylogenetic analysis and the individual gene or protein characteristics, the HD-ZIP gene family in peach can be classified into 4 subfamilies, HD-ZIP I, II.. Read More»

Cytogenetic and molecular identification of a wheat-Leymus mollis alien multiple substitution line from octoploid Tritileymus x Triticum durum
Authors: Y.H. Pang, J.X. Zhao, W.L. Du, Y.L. Li, J. Wang, L.M. Wang, J. Wu, X.N. Cheng, Q.H. Yang and X.H. Chen
Leymus mollis (Trin.) Pilger (NsNsXmXm, 2n = 28), a wild relative of common wheat, possesses many traits that are potentially valuable for wheat improvement. In order to exploit and utilize the useful genes of L. mollis, we developed a multiple alien substitution line, 10DM50, from the progenies of octoploid Tritileymus M842-1.. Read More»

Mapping of quantitative trait loci for the bolting trait in Brassica rapa under vernalizing conditions
Authors: Y.G. Wang, L. Zhang, X.H. Ji, J.F. Yan, Y.T. Liu, X.X. Lv and H. Feng
Premature bolting can occur occasionally during spring cultivation of heading Chinese cabbage in East Asia when the plants encounter low temperatures (vernalization), leading to economic loss. Breeding bolting-resistant cultivars is the best choice for solving this problem. We looked for QTLs responsible for varietal differenc.. Read More»

Reduced genetic diversity in endemic Brazilian Lymania spp (Bromeliaceae) populations and implications for conservation
Authors: V.C.C. Pampon�?©t1, T.F. Alves2, R.A. Martinez3, R.X. Corr�?ªa1,2 and F.A. Gaiotto1,2
We analyzed the genetic diversity of populations of two sympatric species of Lymania (Bromeliaceae), both endemic to the Atlantic rainforest of southern Bahia (Brazil). Lymania azurea has a restricted occurrence, while Lymania smithii has a wider distribution. Our aim was to provide genetic data to contribute to the design of more efficient conservation s..

Novel method to establish molecular identity using inter-simple sequence repeat markers in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) cultivars
Authors: Z.-Y. Zhao, M.-X. Zhi, Z.-Y. Zhang, H.-L. Sun, Y.-S. Liu and X.-J. Li
Plant molecular identity (ID) is used to describe molecular characteristics of plants, which should contain all of the necessary information. Using inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) primers, molecular ID can be described in a way that reflects the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) conditions, annealing temperature, and the ban.. Read More»

Effects of glucose sensing/signaling on oxidative stress response in glucose repression mutants of Schizosaccharomyces pombe
Authors: B. Palabiyik, F. Jafari Ghods and E. Onay Ucar
The resistant to glucose repression mutants of Schizosaccharomyces pombe (ird5, ird13, and ird14) have a high tolerance to oxidative stress induced by H2O2. In all ird mutants, the increased expression level of the fbp1 gene can be interpreted as a lack of glucose repression in these mutants. To investigate the mechanisms of the oxidative stress response .. Read More»

Authors: L.A.C. Silva1, M.S. Pagliarini1, S.A. Santos2 and C.B. Valle3
Mesosetum chaseae Luces, known regionally as “grama-do-cerrado”, is abundant in the Pantanal region in Brazil and contributes significantly to livestock and environmental conservation. This species is under basic studies at Embrapa Pantanal (Nhecolândia subregion, Pantanal, Corumbá, MS, Brazil). In this study, we present data abou.. Read More»
