No association between FGD1 gene polymorphisms and intellectual developmental disability in the Qinba mountain area
Authors: J.L. Li, Y.J. Li, K.J. Zhang, L. Lan, J.G. Shi, X. Yang, M.J. Zhang, F.C. Zhang and X.C. Gao
FGD1 encoding a guanine nucleotide exchange factor, specifically activates Rho GTPase cell division cycle 42 (Cdc42). Dysfunction of FGD1 causes Aarskog-Scott syndrome (MIM #305400), an X-linked disorder that may affect bone and intellectual development. However, the relationship between FGD1 and intellectual developmental dis.. Read More»

Development of EST-SSR markers related to disease resistance and their application in genetic diversity and evolution analysis in Gossypium
Authors: B.H. Wang, P. Rong, X.X. Cai, W. Wang, X.Y. Zhu, C.J. Chen, Y.Y. Xu, X.J. Huang, Z.M. Zhuang and C.B. Wang
Cotton (Gossypium spp) is one of the most economically important crops that provide the world’s most widely used natural fiber. Diseases such as Fusarium wilt and particularly Verticillium wilt seriously affect cotton production, and thus breeding for disease resistance is one of the most important goals of cotton breeding programs. Currently, poten.. Read More»

Identification of warm day and cool night conditions induced flowering-related genes in a Phalaenopsis orchid hybrid by suppression subtractive hybridization
Authors: D.M. Li, F.B. LÃ?Â?, G.F. Zhu, Y.B. Sun, Y.C. Xu, M.D. Jiang, J.W. Liu and Z. Wang
The influence of warm day and cool night conditions on induction of spikes in Phalaenopsis orchids has been studied with respect to photosynthetic efficiency, metabolic cycles and physiology. However, molecular events involved in spike emergence induced by warm day and cool night conditions are not clearly understood... Read More»

Genome-wide identification and characterization of the Dof gene family in Medicago truncatula
Authors: Y.J. Shu, L.L. Song, J. Zhang, Y. Liu and C.H. Guo
The DNA-binding one zinc finger (Dof) family is a classic plant-specific zinc-finger transcription factor family, which is involved in many important processes, including seed maturation and germination, plant growth and development, and light responses. Investigation of the Medicago truncatula genome revealed 42 putative Dof genes, each of which holds on.. Read More»

cDNA-AFLP transcriptional profiling reveals genes expressed during flower development in Oncidium Milliongolds
Authors: X. Qian, M.J. Gong*, C.X. Wang and M. Tian
The flower developmental process, which is crucial to the whole lifecycle of higher plants, is influenced by both environmental and endogenous factors. The genus Oncidium is commercially important for cut flower and houseplant industry and is ideal for flower development studies. Using cDNA-amplified restriction fragm.. Read More»

Selection of strawberry cultivars with tolerance to Tetranychus urticae (Acari: Tetranychidae) and high yield under different managements
Authors: A.F. Costa, P.E. Teodoro, L.L. Bhering, M.J. Fornazier, J.S. Andrade, D.S. Martins and J.S. Zanuncio Junior
Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae) is considered the main pest of strawberry. Several factors can favor its development, among them the genotype susceptibility and cropping system. The aims of this study were to evaluate the agronomic performance of strawberry cultivars under different managements and to identify .. Read More»

Mendelian inheritance, genetic linkage, and genotypic disequilibrium for nine microsatellite loci in Cariniana estrellensis (Raddi) Kuntze (Lecythidaceae)
Authors: T.Y.K. Kubota, A.M. Silva, J. Cambuim, A.A. Silva, S. Pupin, M.S. Silva, M.A. Moraes, M.L.T. Moraes and A.M. Sebbenn
Cariniana estrellensis is one of the largest trees found in Brazilian tropical forests. The species is typical of advanced stages of succession, characteristic of climax forests, and essential in genetic conservation and environmental restoration plans. In this study, we assessed Mendelian inheritance, genetic linkage, and gen.. Read More»

Contribution of morphoagronomic traits to grain yield and earliness in grain sorghum
Authors: K.J. da Silva, P.E. Teodoro, C.B. de Menezes, M.P.M. J�ºlio,V.F. de Souza, M.J. da Silva, L.D. Pimentel and A. Bor�©m
Given the importance of selecting lines to obtain hybrids, we aimed to verify the relationship between morphological traits that can be used as the criteria for the selection of sorghum lines with high grain yield and earliness. A total of 18 traits were evaluated in 160 sorghum elite lines, in an incomplete block design with .. Read More»

Diversity of endophytic fungi of Myricaria laxiflora grown under pre- and post-flooding conditions
Authors: W. Tian, Y.H. Bi, W. Zeng, W. Jiang, Y.H. Xue, G.X. Wang and S.P. Liu
Myricaria laxiflora is distributed along the riverbanks of the Yangtze River valley. The Three Gorges Dam has dramatically changed the habitat of M. laxiflora, which has evolved to develop increased resistance to flooding stress. In order to elucidate the relationship between plant endophytic fungi and flooding stress, we isolated and taxonomically charac.. Read More»
