Analysis of protein profile of tomato root infected with Fusarium oxysporum f. sp lycopersici

Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp lycopersici (Fol) is one of the main diseases affecting tomatoes. The BHRS 2,3 genotype of tomato is, however, resistant to this disease. A proteomic approach was used to understand the defense mechanisms of this genotype using the tomato root, the first tissue that interacts with the fungus, as a target. Protein was .. Read More»

Determining the genetic stability of micropropagated sugarcane using inter-simple sequence repeat markers

    B.S. Hsie, J.Z. Brito, M.X. Vila Nova, L.R. Borges-Paluch, M.V. Silva and V.M.S.T. Donato

Sugarcane culture is an important source of income for the Brazilian economy. The aim of this study was to identify somaclonal variation in sugarcane varieties RB943365 and RB92579 arising from micropropagation using inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) DNA markers. The evaluated plants were generated from the in vitro propagation of shoot tips grown in MS medium supplemented with vitamins, myoi.. Read More»

Assessment of the potential genotoxic risk of medicinal Tamarindus indica fruit pulp extract using in vivo assays

    F.M.V. Silva1, M.F. Leite2, A.C.C. Spadaro2, S.A. Uyemura3 andE.L. Maistro4

Tamarindus indica has been used in folk medicine as an antidiabetic, a digestive aid, and a carminative, among other uses. Currently, there is no information in the toxicology literature concerning the safety of T. indica extract. We evaluated the clastogenic and/or genotoxic potential of fruit pulp extract of this plant in vivo in peripheral blood and liver cells of Wistar rats, using the come.. Read More»

Protein extraction method for the proteomic study of Zymomonas mobilis during production of ethanol and levans

    D.R. Cavalcanti, C.B. Malafaia, T.D. Silva, B.S. Santos,G.M.T. Calazans and M.V. Silva

Zymomonas mobilis has aroused considerable interest owing to its rapid metabolism and efficiency in producing ethanol and by-products such as levans, sorbitol, and gluconic acid from simple sugars. We performed a proteomic analysis of Z. mobilis UFPEDA241 to provide a global profile of regulatory proteins. The choice of the methods of extraction and cell lysis are fundamental steps and of great.. Read More»

Polymorphism of mitochondrial DNA in the Brazilian Canind�?© goat breed

The success of the geographical distribution of goat populations around the world is a consequence of the adaptive potential of these breeds. Several relevant traits to the success of the species in colonizing different ecosystems (and use by man) evolved before domestication. These features were relevant for the selection of different breeds. Each breed represents .. Read More»
