Authors: L.M. Almeida1, A.P. Viana1, G.M. Gon�§alves2 and G.C. Entringer1
In 2006, an experiment examining families belonging to the first selection stage of the Sugar Cane Breeding Program of Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro/Rede Interuniversitária para o Desenvolvimento do Setor Sucroalcooleiro was conducted. Families and plants within families were evaluated to select superior plants for subsequent stages .. Read More»

Relationships between methods of variety adaptability and stability in sugarcane
Authors: T.O. Mendes de Paula, C.D. Marinho, V. Souza, M.H.P. Barbosa, L.A. Peternelli, C.A. Kimbeng and M.M. Zhou
The identification and recommendation of superior genotypes is crucial for the growth of industrial crops, and sugarcane breeding performs a vital role by developing more productive cultivars. The study of genotype x environment interaction has been an essential tool in this process. Thereby, the purpose of this study was to i.. Read More»

Genetic diversity and structure of natural Dactylis glomerata L. populations revealed by morphological and microsatellite-based (SSR/ISSR) markers
Authors: P. Madesis1, E.M. Abraham2, A. Kalivas, Ã?Â?. Ganopoulos and A. Tsaftaris
Dactylis glomerata L. is an important forage species in the Mediterranean region, and in other regions with a similar climate. Genetic material from 3 locations in north, central, and south Greece was studied, using morphological traits, SSR, and ISSR molecular markers. Morphological analysis revealed differences among the geo.. Read More»

An oleosin-fusion protein driven by the CaMV35S promoter is accumulated in Arabidopsis (Brassicaceae) seeds and correctly targeted to oil bodies
Authors: W. Li, L.G. Li, X.F. Sun1and K.X. Tang
Oleosin-fusion technology is used to express desired proteins. It was developed based on the properties of oleosin; the heterologous protein gene is fused to the oleosin gene and the fusion gene is driven by a seed-specific promoter. We replaced the seed specific promoter with the CaMV35S promoter to dive a gfp-oleosin fusion gene in transformed Arabidops.. Read More»

Genetic polymorphisms of CCND1 and PTEN in progression of esophageal squamous carcinoma
Authors: Y. Jang1, S.A. Lu2, Z.P. Chen3, J. Ma3, C.Q. Xu3, C.Z. Zhang3 and J.J. Wang4
Cyclin D1 (CCND1) plays a significant role in G1-S transition of cell cycle, and phosphatase and a tensin homologue (PTEN) negatively regulate cell cycle through phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT signaling. CCND1 and PTEN genetic polymorphisms might induce susceptibility to the occurrence of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Three hundred .. Read More»

Complete sequence analysis of mitochondrial DNA of aplastic anemia patients
Authors: X. Cui, F. Liu, J.Q. Wang, W.J. Zhang, J.Y. Wang, K. Liu, S.Y. Cui, J. Zhang and R.R. Xu
This study was primarily undertaken to test the hypothesis that mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations may be associated with aplastic anemia (AA). We analyzed mtDNA sequences from 15 patients with AA. The samples were obtained from bone marrow, and patients’ oral epithelial cells were collected for normal tissue comparison. Total DNA was amplified by .. Read More»

Mapping an aphid resistance gene in soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] P746
Authors: L. Xiao, Y.P. Zhong, B. Wang and T.L. Wu
Soybean aphid (SA: Aphis glycines Matsumura) is one of the most serious pests of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] worldwide. A single dominant gene was found to control SA resistance in soybean line P746, which exhibits antibiosis resistance. This study aimed to define the location of the SA resistance gene in P746. A F2:3 mapping population, including 31.. Read More»

Reaction of common bean lines and aggressiveness of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum isolates
Authors: P.H. Silva1, J.B. Santos2, I.A. Lima2, L.A.C. Lara and F.C. Alves
The aims of this study were to evaluate the reaction of common bean lines to white mold, the aggressiveness of different Sclerotinia sclerotiorum isolates from various common bean production areas in Brazil, and comparison of the diallel and GGE (genotype main effect plus genotype-by-environment interaction) biplot analysis procedures via study of the lin..

Separation and identification of Musa acuminate Colla (banana) leaf proteins by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry
Authors: Y. Lu, Y.X. Qi, H. Zhang, H.Q. Zhang, J.J. Pu and Y.X. Xie
To establish a proteomic reference map of Musa acuminate Colla (banana) leaf, we separated and identified leaf proteins using two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE) and mass spectrometry (MS). Tryptic digests of 44 spots were subjected to peptide mass fingerprinting (PMF) by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight .. Read More»

Differential expression of resistance to powdery mildew at the early stage of development in wheat line N0308
Authors: M.A. Alam, W. Hongpo, Z. Hong and W.Q. Ji
Powdery mildew, caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp tritici (Bgt) is one of the devastating diseases of wheat and causes yield losses in temperate wheat growing regions. A wheat line, N0308 with resistance to powdery mildew was used in this study. A suppression subtractive hybridization cDNA library was constructed from the whea.. Read More»
