Meta-analysis of constitutive QTLs for disease resistance in maize and its synteny conservation in the rice genome
Authors: L. Zhao, H.J. Liu, C.X. Zhang, Q.Y. Wang and X.H. Li
We collected data regarding 340 disease resistance quantitative trait loci (QTLs) from the maize genomic database (MaizeGDB). We constructed an integrated linkage map and analyzed this map by using the BioMercator 2.1 software with IBM2 2008 Neighbors genetic linkage map as a reference. We used a meta-analysis method to identify five â??consensusâ? sy.. Read More»

Development of a novel set of microsatellite markers for Lippia alba (Verbenaceae)
Authors: D.S. Rocha, C.P. Santos, M.M. Bajay, J.B. Campos, A.F. Blank,J.B. Pinheiro and M.I. Zucchi
Microsatellite primers were developed and optimized for Lippia alba to characterize the L. alba germplasm bank of Universidade de S?£o Paulo. A genomic library enabled the design of 9 microsatellite primers. Six of the 9 primers yielded polymorphic products, which defined 2 groups in the bank. The data provide support to characterize germplasm banks, genet.. Read More»

Novel SNPs of the mannan-binding lectin 2 gene and their association with production traits in Chinese Holsteins
Authors: Z.L. Zhao C.F. Wang Q.L. Li Z.H. Ju J.M. Huang J.B. Li J.F. Zhong J.B. Zhang
The mannan-binding lectin gene (MBL) participates as an opsonin in the innate immune system of mammals, and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in MBL cause various immune dysfunctions. In this study, we detected SNPs in MBL2 at exon 1 using polymerase chain reaction single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis and DNA sequencing techniques in 825 Chi.. Read More»

Identification of PML/RAR?± fusion gene transcripts that showed no t(15;17) with conventional karyotyping and fluorescent in situ hybridization
Authors: A. Choughule S. Polampalli P. Amre S. Shinde S. Banavali K. Prabhash R. Nair P.G. Subramanian S. Gujral P.M. Parikh
Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is characterized by a reciprocal translocation, t(15;17)(q22;q11-21), resulting in the fusion of the promyelocytic leukemia (PML) and retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARα) genes. Using conventional cytogenetic methods, these translocations are normally detected in about 70-90% of patients.. Read More»

High-throughput, low-cost, and event-specific polymerase chain reaction detection of herbicide tolerance in genetically modified soybean A2704-12
Authors: H. Ma, H. Li, J. Li, X.F. Wang, P.C. Wei, L. Li and J.B. Yang
The aim of this study was to develop an event-specific qualitative and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method for detection of herbicide-tolerance genetically modified (GM) soybean A2704-12. The event-specific PCR primers were designed, based on the 5'-flanking integration sequence in the soybean genome,.. Read More»

Transcriptome analysis and anthocyanin-related genes in red leaf lettuce
Authors: Y.Z. Zhang*, S.Z. Xu*, Y.W. Cheng, H.Y. Ya and J.M. Han
This study aimed to analyze the transcriptome profile of red lettuce and identify the genes involved in anthocyanin accumulation. Red leaf lettuce is a popular vegetable and popular due to its high anthocyanin content. However, there is limited information available about the genes involved in anthocyanin biosynthesis in this species. In this study, trans.. Read More»

The role of disulfide bridges in the 3-D structures of the antimicrobial peptides gomesin and protegrin-1: a molecular dynamics study
Authors: J.R.M. Castro, C.A. Fuzo, L. Degr?¨ve and A. Caliri
Some antimicrobial peptides have a broad spectrum of action against many different kinds of microorganisms. Gomesin and protegrin-1 are examples of such antimicrobial peptides, and they were studied by molecular dynamics in this research. Both have a β-hairpin conformation stabilized by two disulfide bridges and are active against gram-positive and g.. Read More»

Oxidative stress proteins as an indicator of a low quality of eucalyptus clones for the pulp and paper industry
Authors: D.S. Britto C.P. Pirovani E.R. Gonzalez J.F. Silva A.S. Gesteira J.C.M. Cascardo
Eucalyptus is a genus widely cultivated in many tropical and subtropical regions of the world as one of the main sources of raw materials for the pulp and paper industry. Identification of clones and selection of genotypes with desirable agronomic characteristics would be useful. We assessed eucalyptus full-sibs that varied in wood quality, using a combinati..

Global gene expression profile in myelodysplastic syndromes using SAGE
Authors: C.F. Mendiburu, W.A. Silva Jr., O. Ricci Jr., C.R. Bonini-Domingos and A.C. Fett-Conte
The molecular pathogenesis of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) is poorly understood. In order to expand our knowledge of genetic defects in MDS, we determined the overall profile of genes expressed in bone marrow from patients with refractory anemia with excess blasts (RAEB) by serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE). The present report describes a parti.. Read More»
