Authors: E.A. Bressan, T. Briner Neto M.I. Zucchi R.J. Rabelloand E.A. Veasey
Of the 600 known yam species, only 10 are utilized as food, and the Dioscorea cayenensis/D. rotundata species complex is among the most cultivated. In Brazil, these species are commercially cultivated in the northeast region and are cultivated in the south and southeast regions as subsistence crops by traditional agriculturist.. Read More»

Relationship between male sterility and �²-1,3-glucanase activity and callose deposition-related gene expression in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
Authors: H.Z. Liu, G.S. Zhang, W.W. Zhu, Q.S. Ba, N. Niu, J.W. Wang,S.C. Ma and J.S. Wang
In previous studies, we first isolated one different protein β-1,3-glucanase using two-dimensional electrophoresis and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry from normal wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and chemical hybridization agent-induced male sterility (CIMS) wheat. In this experiment, β-1,3-glucanase acti.. Read More»

Genetic variation among quince(Cydonia oblonga Mill.) genotypes sampled from the Coruh valley in Turkey
Authors: E. Orhan G. Nardemir, G. Agarand S. Ercisli
Turkey has very rich quince genetic resources, and the country currently dominates world quince production. In particular, the northeastern part of the country has notable Cydonia oblonga Mill. germplasm. Authenticating the identity of germplasm resources of C. oblonga Mill. would be of great value for breeding practices. In t.. Read More»

Pig KALRN, MYH1, MLC2V, SNX13, AK1, and PPIA loci RH mapping and chromosome position refining
Authors: C. Gorni1, S. Iacuaniello2, B. Castiglioni3, G. Pagnacco2 and P. Mariani
The suppressive subtractive hybridization technique was previously used by the authors to identify candidate genes for meat quality in pig. A set of ESTs homologous (>95%) to genes involved in muscle metabolism is reported in the present paper. Four ESTs homologous to MYH1, KALRN, MLC2V, and SNX13 genes plus two genes (AK1, PPIA) used as housekeeping f.. Read More»

Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of tomato with the ICE1 transcription factor gene
Authors: J.X. Juan, X.H. Yu, X.M. Jiang, Z. Gao, Y. Zhang, W. Li,Y.D. Duan and G. Yang
ICE1 genes play a very important role in plants in cold conditions. To improve the cold resistance of tomato, the ICE1 gene of Arabidopsis thaliana was used to construct the plant expression vector p3301-ICE1, and was overexpressed in tomato through Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Five strains of resistant plants were obtained. PCR and half-quantitati.. Read More»

Quantitative trait locus analysis for ear height in maize based on a recombinant inbred line population
Authors: Z.Q. Li, H.M. Zhang, X.P. Wu, Y. Sun and X.H. Liu
Maize (Zea mays L.) is among the crops with the greatest worldwide economic importance. Ear height is a very important trait that is considered necessary in maize and is related to morphology, lodging, and yield. To realize its genetic basis, an F9 recombinant inbred line population and a genetic map consisting of 101 simple s.. Read More»

Genetic diversity analysis of fruit characteristics of hawthorn germplasm
Authors: K. Su,Y.S. Guo, G. Wang, Y.H. Zhao, W.X. Dong
One hundred and six accessions of hawthorn intraspecific resources, from the National Germplasm Repository at Shenyang, were subjected to genetic diversity and principal component analysis based on evaluation data of 15 fruit traits. Results showed that the genetic diversity of hawthorn fruit traits varied. Among the 15 traits.. Read More»

Development of simple sequence repeat markers in persimmon (Diospyros L.) and their potential use in related species
Authors: Y. Yang, Z.B. Jing, X.F. Ruan and J.M. Cheng
Persimmon (Diospyros L.) is an economically important fruit in the world, and it has been recognized as a healthy nutrient supply for human consumption. In this study, 14 microsatellite markers were developed from an AG/TC and AC/TG-enriched genomic library of Chinese persimmon Mopanshi. Twelve polymorphic markers were selected in 4 related species; these.. Read More»
