Human papillomavirus (HPV) has been extensively studied concerning genomic structure, infection mechanisms, and diversity of types, as well as disease progression stages and development of vaccines. HPV type prevalence can differ in specific populations in different countries, according to ethnicity. This is the first report o.. Read More»

Diallel analysis of leaf disease resistance in inbred Brazilian popcorn cultivars
Authors: R.A. Vieira, C.A. Scapim, L.M. Moterle, D.J. Tessmann, T.V. Conrado and A.T. Amaral J�ºnior
We estimated general and specific combining abilities and examined resistance to northern leaf blight (Exserohilum turcicum) and to gray leaf spot (Cercospora zeae-maydis) in a set of nine inbred popcorn lines. These inbreds were crossed in a complete diallel scheme without reciprocals, which produced 36 F1 hybrids. Two experi.. Read More»

Characterization of an endophytic bacterial community associated with Eucalyptus spp
Authors: R.E.L. Proc�³pio, W.L. Ara�ºjo, W. Maccheroni Jr. and J.L. Azevedo
Endophytic bacteria were isolated from stems of Eucalyptus spp (Eucalyptus citriodora, E. grandis, E. urophylla, E. camaldulensis, E. torelliana, E. pellita, and a hybrid of E. grandis and E. urophylla) cultivated at two sites; they were characterized by RAPD and amplified rDNA restriction analysis (ARDRA). Endophytic bacteria.. Read More»

Molecular identification of the traditional herbal medicines, Arisaematis Rhizoma and Pinelliae Tuber, and common adulterants via universal DNA barcode sequences
Authors: B.C. Moon, W.J. Kim, Y. Ji, Y.M. Lee, Y.M. Kang and G. Choi
Methods to identify Pinelliae Tuber and Arisaematis Rhizoma are required because of frequent reciprocal substitution between these two herbal medicines and the existence of several closely related plant materials. As a result of the morphological similarity of dried tubers, correct discrimination of authentic herbal medicines is difficult by conventional .. Read More»

Karyotype of Rhodnius montenegrensis(Hemiptera, Triatominae)
Authors: K.C.C. Alevi, A. Ravazi, V.J. Mendon�§a, J.A. Rosa and M.T.V. Azeredo-Oliveira
The Triatominae subfamily comprises 6 tribes. The tribe Rhodniini comprises 2 genera and 22 nominal species. Rhodnius montenegrensis (Hemiptera, Triatominae) was recently described as evolutionarily related to R. robustus. Therefore, in order to contribute to karyosystematic study of the tribe Rhodniini, this report describes the number of chromosomes and.. Read More»

Population structure of rice varieties used in Turkish rice breeding programs determined using simple-sequence repeat and inter-primer binding site-retrotransposon data
Authors: G. C�¶mertpay1, F.S. Baloch2, M. Derya3, E.E. Andeden3, A. Alsaleh3, H. S�¼rek4 and H. ��zkan5
Abstract Effective breeding programs based on genetic diversity are needed to broaden the genetic basis of rice (Oryza sativa L.) in Turkey. In this study, 81 commercial varieties from seven countries were studied in order to estimate the genomic relationships among them using nine inter-primer binding site (iPBS)-retrotransposon and 17 simple-sequence r..

Genetic control and transgressive segregation of zinc, iron, potassium, phosphorus, calcium, and sodium accumulation in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) seeds
Authors: C.A. Fernandes Santos1 and L.S. Boiteux2
Cowpea crop, through combining a range of essential minerals with high quality proteins, plays an important role in providing nutritional security to human population living in semi-arid regions. Studies on genetics of biofortification with essential minerals are still quite scarce, and the major objective of the present study was to provide genetic informat.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of Saccharum officinarum accessions in Pakistan as revealed by random amplified polymorphic DNA
Authors: F.A. Khan, A. Khan, F.M. Azhar and S. Rauf
Genetic diversity of 20 sugarcane accessions in Pakistan was studied using 21 random amplified polymorphic DNA markers. The mean genetic distance between the cultivars was 39.03%, demonstrating that a large part of the genome is similar among the accessions. This probably arises from a lack of parental diversity, with few clon.. Read More»

Cloning and characterization of SPL-family genes in the peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.)
Authors: M. Li1*, S.Z. Zhao1*, C.Z. Zhao1, Y. Zhang1, H. Xia1, J. Lopez-Baltazar2, S.B. Wan1 and X.J. Wang1
SQUAMOSA promoter-binding protein-like (SPL) proteins play crucial roles in plant growth, development, and responses to environmental stressors. The peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is a globally important oil crop. In this study, we cloned the full-length cDNA of 15 SPLs in the peanut by transcriptome sequencing and rapid amplification of cDNA ends, and anal.. Read More»

atchouli [Pogostemon cablin (Blanco) Benth.] is an aromatic, herbaceous plant belonging to the Lamiaceae family native to Southeast Asia. Its leaves produce an essential oil regularly used by the perfume and cosmetics industries. However, since patchouli from the Philippines and India were described and named Pogostemon patchouli, there has been a diverge.. Read More»
