Authors: S.O. Bafeel, I.A. Arif, M.A. Bakir, A.A. Al Homaidan, A.H. Al Farhan and H.A. Khan
DNA barcoding is currently gaining popularity due to its simplicity and high accuracy as compared to the complexity and subjective biases associated with morphology-based identification of taxa. The standard chloroplast DNA barcode for land plants recommended by the Consortium for the Barcode of Life (CBOL) plant working group.. Read More»

Genetic relationships of Pacific abalone (Haliotidae) species determined using universal rice primer-polymerase chain reaction fingerprinting
Authors: H.S. An, J.Y. Park, J.I. Myeong and C.M. An
Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) with universal rice primers (URP) was used to identify species and to determine phylogenetic relationships for the 6 economically important Korean Pacific abalone species: Haliotis discus hannai, H. discus discus, H. madaka, H. gigantea, H. diversicolor supertexta, and H. diversicolor diversicolor, whose morphologic..

Age-related changes in the surface pheromones of the wasp Mischocyttarus consimilis (Hymenoptera: Vespidae)
Authors: E.F. Neves, L.H.C. Andrade, Y.R. S�ºarez, S.M. Lima and W.F. Antonialli-Junior
One of the most important attributes that allowed the evolution and maintenance of sociality in insects is their ability to distinguish members of their own colonies. The capacity for individual recognition in social insects is mediated by chemical signals that are acquired soon after the adult emerges, and vary according to t.. Read More»

Use of transgenic seeds in Brazilian agriculture and concentration of agricultural production to large agribusinesses
Authors: C.D. Marinho, F.J.O. Martins, A.T. Amaral J�ºnior, L.S.A. Gon�§alves, S.C.S. Amaral and M.P. de Mello
We identified the commercial releases of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in Brazil, their characteristics, the types of genetic transformation used, and the companies responsible for the development of these GMOs, classifying them into two categories: private companies, subdivided into multinational and national, and pub..

Transcriptome profiling of the crofton weed gall fly Procecidochares utilis
Authors: X. Gao, J.Y. Zhu, S. Ma, Z. Zhang, C. Xiao, Q. Li, Z.Y. Li and G.X. Wu
Procecidochares utilis is a tephritid gall fly, which is known to be an effective biological agent that can be used to control the notoriously widespread crofton weed Eupatorium adenophorum. Despite its importance, genetic resources for P. utilis remain scarce. In this study, 1.2 Gb sequences were generated using Illumina pair.. Read More»

Diversity of propanil-degrading bacteria isolated from rice rhizosphere and their potential for plant growth promotion
Authors: A.R.L. Proc�³pio, R.E.L. Proc�³pio, A.A. Pizzirani-Kleiner and I.S. Melo
The herbicide propanil has long been used in rice production in southern Brazil. Bacteria isolated from contaminated soils in Massaranduba, Santa Catarina, Brazil, were found to be able to grow in the presence of propanil, using this compound as a carbon source. Thirty strains were identified as Pseudomonas (86.7%), Serratia (.. Read More»

Genetic characterization of fig tree mutants with molecular markers
Authors: M.G.F. Rodrigues, A.B.G. Martins, J.A. Desid�©rio, B.W. Bertoni and M.C. Alves
The fig (Ficus carica L.) is a fruit tree of great world importance and, therefore, the genetic improvement becomes an important field of research for better crops, being necessary to gather information on this species, mainly regarding its genetic variability so that appropriate propagation projects and management are made. T.. Read More»

Microsatellite markers for assessing genetic diversity of the medicinal plant Paris polyphylla var. chinensis (Trilliaceae)
Authors: J.Y. Zheng, H. Wang, X.X. Chen, P. Wang, P. Gao, X.N. Li and G.P. Zhu
Paris polyphylla var. chinensis is a perennial herb with medicinal properties that is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine. However, this plant has been on the edge of extinction during the last few decades because of excessive deforestation based on the intense ethnopharmaceutical interest. We isolated 12 microsatellit..

Detection of bacterial blight resistance genes in basmati rice landraces
Authors: I. Ullah, S. Jamil, M.Z. Iqbal, H.L. Shaheen, S.M. Hasni, S. Jabeen, A. Mehmood and M. Akhter
Aromatic basmati rice is vulnerable to bacterial blight disease. Genes conferring resistance to bacterial blight have been identified in coarse rice; however, their incorporation into basmati varieties compromises the prized basmati aroma. We identified bacterial blight resistance genes Xa4, xa5, Xa7, and xa13 in 52 basmati la.. Read More»

Advanced oxidation protein products as a biomarker of cutaneous lupus erythematosus complicated by nephritis: a case-control study
Authors: Z. Xie1*, M. Zhang2*, B. Zhao1, Q. Wang1, J. Li1, Y.Y. Liu1, Y.H. Chen
Oxidative stress is involved in the pathogenesis of lupus nephritis (LN). The current study investigated the significance of advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs) as a biomarker of LN in patients with cutaneous lupus erythematosus. Ninety-two patients who initially presented with systemic lupus erythematosus were divided into the LN- and LN+ groups... Read More»
