Enhancement of pectinase production by ultraviolet irradiation and diethyl sulfate mutagenesis of a Fusarium oxysporum isolate
Authors: L.B. Yin, C.F. Zhang, Q.L. Xia, Y. Yang, K. Xiao and L.Z. Zhao
Fusarium oxysporum strain BM-201 was treated with ultraviolet (UV) radiation to obtain a high pectinase-producing strain. Mutant UV-10-41 was obtained and then treated by diethyl sulfate. Next, the mutant UV-diethyl sulfate-43 derived from UV-10-41 was selected as high pectinase-producing strain. Mutant UV-diethyl sulfate-43 was incubated on slant for 10 .. Read More»

Sexual reproduction development in apomictic Eulaliopsis binata (Poaceae)
Authors: J.J. Li, L. Liu, Y.D. Ouyang and J.L. Yao
Apomixis is a particular mode of reproduction that allows progeny formation without meiosis and fertilization. Eulaliopsis binata, a tetraploid apomictic species, is widely used for making paper, rope and mats. There is great potential for fixation of heterosis in E. binata due to autonomous endosperm formation in this species. Although most of its embryo sa.. Read More»

A new reduced height gene found in the tetraploid semi-dwarf wheat landrace Aiganfanmai
Authors: Z.S. Peng, X. Li, Z.J. Yang and M.L. Liao
Aiganfanmai is a dwarf tetraploid wheat landrace (Triticum turgidum var. turgidum) that stably produces the semi-dwarf trait. Plant height varies from 80-105 cm under cultivation. Compared with tall durum wheat (T. turgidum var. durum) variety Langdon, we found it to have short spikes and seeds, besides a semi-dwarf character... Read More»

Descriptive statistics and correlation analysis of agronomic traits in a maize recombinant inbred line population....
Authors: H.M. Zhang, G.Q. Hui, Q. Luo, Y. Sun and X.H. Liu
Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the most important crops in the world. In this study, 13 agronomic traits of a recombinant inbred line population that was derived from the cross between Mo17 and Huangzao4 were investigated in maize: ear diameter, ear length, ear axis diameter, ear weight, plant height, ear height, days to pollen..

Prediction of protein subcellular multisite localization using a new feature extraction method
Authors: L.Y. Wang, D. Wang and Y.H. Chen
A basic problem of proteomics is identifying the subcellular locations of a protein. One factor making the problem more complicated is that some proteins may simultaneously exist in two or more than two subcellular locations. To improve multisite prediction quality, it is necessary to use effective feature extraction methods. Here, we developed a new feat.. Read More»

Microsatellite loci in the tetraploid spined loach, Cobitis biwae, and cross-species amplification in four related species
Authors: O. Jablonska, A. MarĂ?Ân, K. Kowalewska, T. Fujimoto and K. Arai
Fifteen microsatellite loci were identified in the tetraploid spined loach, Cobitis biwae (Teleostei: Cobitidae). Among these, 14 were polymorphic (5-31 alleles) and showed moderate to high cross-species amplification transferability in four related species, Cobitis matsubarai, Cobitis taenia, Misgurnus anguillicaudatus, and Misgurnus fossilis. The loci, .. Read More»

Molecular cloning and functional characterization of a novel CBL-interacting protein kinase NtCIPK2 in the halophyte Nitraria tangutorum
Authors: L.L. Zheng, Z. Gao, J. Wang, H.R. Zhang and Y.C. Wang
CBL-interacting protein kinases (CIPKs) mediate many plant responses to abiotic stress. However, their functions are poorly understood in halophytes. In this study, we isolated a CIPK gene, NtCIPK2, from the halophyte Nitraria tangutorum. By sequence alignment and the construction of a phylogenetic t.. Read More»

Genetic characterization of an elite coffee germplasm assessed by gSSR and EST-SSR markers
Authors: R.F. Missio, E.T. Caixeta, E.M. Zambolim, G.F. Pena, L. Zambolim, L.A.S. Dias and N.S. Sakiyama
Coffee is one of the main agrifood commodities traded worldwide. In 2009, coffee accounted for 6.1% of the value of Brazilian agricultural production, generating a revenue of US$6 billion. Despite the importance of coffee production in Brazil, it is supported by a narrow genetic base, with few accessions. Molecular differentiation and diversity of a coffee b.. Read More»

Comparison of RAPD and ISSR markers for assessment of genetic diversity among endangered rare Dalbergia oliveri (Fabaceae) genotypes in Vietnam
Authors: D.T. Phong, V.T.T. Hien, T.T.V. Thanh and D.V. Tang
Dalbergia oliveri is a leguminous tree of the Fabaceae family. This species is popular and valuable in Vietnam and is currently listed on the Vietnam Red List and on the IUCN Red List as endangered. Two PCR techniques using RAPD and inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers were used to make a comparative analysis of genetic.. Read More»

Detection of quantitative trait loci for kernel oil and protein concentration in a B73 and Zheng58 maize cross
Authors: Z. Yang, X. Li, N. Zhang, Y.N. Zhang, H.W. Jiang, J. Gao, B.K. Kuai, Y.L. Ding, X.Q. Huang
Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the most important food crops throughout the world, and provides oil and proteins to humans and livestock. Kernel oil and protein content in maize are two complex quantitative traits. In order to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) controlling oil and protein concentration in maize kernels, and to evaluate their genetic ef.. Read More»
