SCAR markers for discriminating species of two genera of medicinal plants, Liriope and Ophiopogon
Authors: G. Li Y.-J. Park
The development of DNA markers that can closely discriminate between Liriope and Ophiopogon species is vital for efficient and accurate identification of these species, and to ensure the quality, safety, and efficacy of medicines made from these plants. We developed species-specific molecular markers for these two genera. Forty RAPD primers were tested to de.. Read More»

In vitro regeneration of cocona (Solanum sessiliflorum, Solanaceae) cultivars for commercial production
Authors: A.R. Schuelter1, A.K. Grunvald1, A.T. Amaral J�ºnior2, C.L. da Luz1,C.L. Luz1, L.M. Gon�§alves1, S. Stefanello1 and C.A. Scapim3
Cocona (Solanum sessiliflorum Dunal) is a solanaceous shrub native to the Amazon region that produces an edible fruit. This species has numerous advantages, particularly a high nutritional value and productivity. However, due to irregular germination and rapid loss of seed viability, there are few plantations for production on a large scale. Development o.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of mitochondrial control region (D-Loop) polymorphisms in Coilia ectenes taihuensis inhabiting Taihu Lake, China
Authors: J.J. Zhang, J.R. Duan, Y.F. Zhou, J.Y. Peng, D.A. Fang
Coilia ectenes is a commercially important fishery species in China. C. ectenes taihuensis is an endemic and dominant species found in Taihu Lake of China. When compared with C. ectenes, C. ectenes taihuensis lacks anadromous behavior, and can independently grow and reproduce in Taihu Lake. In this study, the mitochondrial DNA.. Read More»

Relationship between Psidium species (Myrtaceae) by resistance gene analog markers: focus on nematode resistance
Authors: L.R. Noia, A.C. Tuler, A. Ferreira, M.F.S. Ferreira
Guava (Psidium guajava L.) crop is severely affected by the nematode Meloidogyne enterolobii. Native Psidium species have been reported as sources of resistance against this nematode. Knowledge on the molecular relationship between Psidium species based on plant resistance gene analogs (RGA) can be useful in the genetic breedi.. Read More»

Effect of propolis ethanol extract on myostatin gene expression and muscle morphometry of Nile tilapia in net cages
Authors: E.L. Buck, I.Y. Mizubuti, A.A. Alfieri, R.A.A. Otonel, L.Y. Buck,F.P. Souza, O.P. Prado-Calixto, A.R. Poveda-Parra, L. Alexandre Filho, N.M. Lopera-Barrero
Propolis can be used as growth enhancer due to its antimicrobial, antioxidant, and immune-stimulant properties, but its effects on morphometry and muscle gene expression are largely unknown. The present study evaluates the influence of propolis on muscle morphometry and myostatin gene expression in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis ni.. Read More»

Anti-inflammatory effects of essential oils from Mangifera indica
Authors: R.M. Oliveira, T.S. Dutra, E. Simionatto, N. R�©, C.A.L. Kassuya, C.A.L. Cardoso
Mangifera indica is widely found in Brazil, and its leaves are used as an anti-inflammatory agent in folk medicine. The aim of this study is to perform composition analysis of essential oils from the M. indica varieties, espada (EOMIL1) and coração de boi (EOMIL2), and confirm their anti-inflammatory properties. ..

Multivariate diallel analysis allows multiple gains in segregating populations for agronomic traits in Jatropha.
Authors: P.E. Teodoro, E.V. Rodrigues, L.A. Peixoto, L.A. Silva, B.G. Laviola, L.L. Bhering
Jatropha is research target worldwide aimed at large-scale oil production for biodiesel and bio-kerosene. Its production potential is among 1200 and 1500 kg/ha of oil after the 4th year. This study aimed to estimate combining ability of Jatropha genotypes by multivariate diallel analysis to select parents and crosses that allo.. Read More»

Microdeletions in 16p11.2 and 13q31.3 associated with developmental delay and generalized overgrowth
Authors: A.M. George J. Taylor D.R. Love
Chromosome microarray analysis of patients with developmental delay has provided evidence of small deletions or duplications associated with this clinical phenotype. In this context, a 7.1- to 8.7-Mb interstitial deletion of chromosome 16 is well documented, but within this interval a rare 200-kb deletion has recently been defined that appears to be assoc..

Diversity among isolates of cowpea severe mosaic virus infecting cowpeas in northeastern Brazil
Authors: E.F.M. Abreu M.L.P. Tinoco E.C. Andrade F.J.L. Arag�£o
Eleven isolates of cowpea severe mosaic virus (CPSMV), a member of the genus Comovirus, were selected from 50 samples collected of nine cowpea fields in Northeastern Brazil (PiauÃ?Â, CearÃ?¡, Rio Grande do Norte, ParaÃ?Âba, Pernambuco, Alagoas, Sergipe, Bahia, and Distrito Federal) and partially sequenced. The RNA1 partial sequence, corresponding to the h.. Read More»

Mineral content is related to antioxidant and antimutagenic properties of grape juice
Authors: C. Dani L.S. Oliboni D. Pr�¡ D. Bonatto C.E.I. Santos M.L. Yoneama J.F. Dias M. Salvador J.A.P. Henriques
Grape juices are an important source of food antioxidants. Unfortunately, there is little data about the mineral composition and the antioxidant, mutagenic and antimutagenic activities of grape juice in eukaryote cells. We evaluated the mineral contents (Mg, Ca, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Si, S, Cl) of grape juices, the antioxidant, mutagenic and/or antimutagenic activ.. Read More»
