Molecular taxonomy and evolutionary hypothesis concerning Astyanax fasciatus (Characiformes, Characidae) from Vila Velha State Park and Tibagi and Igua�§u Rivers
Authors: D.A. Matoso M. da Silva R.F. Artoni R.A. Torres
A species complex hypothesis involving Astyanax fasciatus from southern Brazil was tested using 12S mtDNA sequences. Phylogenetic inferences were performed with maximum likelihood, maximum parsimony and Bayesian as phylogenetic methods and Hemigrammus bleheri as the outgroup. Besides 11 sequences from A. fasciatus, the data set was comprised of other part.. Read More»

Key KdSOC1 gene expression profiles during plantlet morphogenesis under hormone, photoperiod, and drought treatments
Authors: C. Liu1*, C. Zhu2* and H.M. Zeng1
Kalanchoe daigremontiana utilizes plantlet formation between its zigzag leaf margins as its method of asexual reproduction. In this study, K. daigremontiana SUPPRESSOR OF OVEREXPRESSION OF CONSTANS 1 (KdSOC1), a key intermediate in the transition from vegetative to asexual growth, was cloned. Furthermore, its expression profiles during plantlet formation .. Read More»

Cytotoxicity evaluation of the whole protein extract from Bar-transgenic rice on Mus musculus lymphocytes
Authors: X.B. Lu
With the expanding demand for genetically modified (GM) rice, its safety evaluation is of great significance. Therefore, this study was carried out to assess the acute cytotoxicity of the whole protein extract from GM rice Bar68-1 in Mus musculus lymphocytes in vitro. Cell viability was determined by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8.. Read More»

Diversity, population structure, and evolution of local peach cultivars in China identified by simple sequence repeats
Authors: Z.J. Shen, R.J. Ma, Z.X. Cai, M.L. Yu and Z. Zhang
The fruit peach originated in China and has a history of domestication of more than 4000 years. Numerous local cultivars were selected during the long course of cultivation, and a great morphological diversity exists. To study the diversity and genetic background of local peach cultivars in China, a set of 158 accessions from different ecological regions,.. Read More»

Association among agro-industrial traits and simultaneous selection in sweet sorghum
Authors: P.S.S. Leite, T.G. Fagundes, J.A.R. Nunes, R.A.C. Parrella,N.N.L. Dur�£es and A.T. Bruzi
Sweet sorghum has emerged as an alternative crop for ethanol yield. The breeding of this crop is performed to obtain cultivars with high ethanol yield, which necessarily requires associating favorable phenotypes for multiple traits. Therefore, the aims of this study were to investigate the association between agro-industrial t.. Read More»

Characterization of SNPs in strawberry cultivars in China
Authors: A.J. Ge J. Han X.D. Li M.Z. Zhao H. Liu Q.H. Dong J.G. Fang
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) occur at high frequencies in both plant and animal genomes and can provide broad genome coverage and reliable estimates of genetic relationships. The availability of expressed sequence tag (EST) data has made it feasible to discover SNPs. DNA analysis is crucial in genetic studies not only for strawberry breeding progra.. Read More»

Genetic analysis and identification of SSR markers associated with rice blast disease in a BC2F1 backcross population
Authors: N. Hasan, M.Y. Rafii, H. Abdul Rahim, S.A. Nusaibah, N. Mazlan and S. Abdullah
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) blast disease is one of the most destructive rice diseases in the world. The fungal pathogen, Magnaporthe oryzae, is the causal agent of rice blast disease. Development of resistant cultivars is the most preferred method to achieve sustainable rice production. However, the effectiveness of resistant cult.. Read More»

Selection of maize hybrids for tolerance to aluminum in minimal solution
Authors: C.J. Coelho, D. Molin, H.A. Wood Joris, E.F. Caires,J.R. Gardingo and R.R. Matiello
The aim of this study was to determine the Al concentration and the period of exposure of the roots of maize hybrids in minimal solution for efficient selection of genotypes that are Al-tolerant. Two experiments were performed (48 and 96 h of exposure) with increasing doses of Al in minimal solution; the block design was completely randomized in a split-p.. Read More»
