Analysis of allopolyploidy-induced rapid genetic and epigenetic changes and their relationship in wheat

We used the conventional and methylation-sensitive randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) analyses to assess genome-wide changes and explore the relationships between genetic and epigenetic variations among individuals of a newly synthesized allohexaploid wheat line whose genomic constitution is identical to that of the nat..

Genetic and epigenetic diversity and structure of Phragmites australis from local habitats of the Songnen Prairie using amplified fragment length polymorphism markers

    T. Qiu, L.L. Jiang and Y.F. Yang

The genetic and epigenetic diversity and structure of naturally occurring Phragmites australis populations occupying two different habitats on a small spatial scale in the Songnen Prairie in northeastern China were investigated by assessing amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLPs) and methylation-sensitive amplified polymorphisms (MSAPs) through fluorescent capillary detection. The two g.. Read More»

DNA barcoding for efficient identification of Ixiolirion species (Ixioliriaceae)

    Y. Zhao, Y. Li, Y. Liu and Y.F. Yang

Ixiolirion is a genus of unresolved taxonomy. DNA barcoding is a technique that allows species identification using standardized DNA sequences. In this study, a total of 23 individuals, representing 2 Chinese Ixiolirion species, were sampled to test the effectiveness of 3 DNA barcodes [internal transcribed spacer (ITS), chloroplast tRNA intron, and megakaryocyte-asso..

Effects of angiotensin II intervention on MMP-2, MMP-9, TIMP-1, and collagen expression in rats with pulmonary hypertension

    X.M. Wang, K. Shi, J.J. Li, T.T. Chen, Y.H. Guo, Y.L. Liu, Y.F. Yang and S. Yang

This study investigated the effects of angiotensin II (AngII) intervention, using captopril and losartan, on the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), MMP-9, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1), and collagen in rats with pulmonary hypertension, in an effort to understand mechanisms underlying pulmonary vascular remodeling. A total of 40 male Sprague-Dawley rats were ran.. Read More»

Molecular cloning, characterization and expression analysis of WAG-1 in the pistillody line of common wheat

    Q.H. Wang, Z.J. Yang, S.H. Wei, Z.Y. Jiang, Y.F. Yang, Z.S. Hu,Q.X. Sun and Z.S. Peng

Wheat WAG-1 is a C-class MADS-box gene, which is orthologous to AGAMOUS in Arabidopsis. In this study, we report the cloning, characterization, and expression patterns of WAG-1 in the pistillody mutant HTS-1 and its sib-line CSTP. The cDNA of WAG-1 was found to be 765 bp in length, which was equal to the length of its open reading frame, encoding 254 amino acids. Th.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of wild Prunus cerasifera Ehrhart (wild cherry plum) in China revealed by simple-sequence repeat markers

    Y. Zhao, Y. Li, Y. Liu and Y.F. Yang

Simple-sequence repeat (SSR) markers were employed to assess the genetic diversity of wild Prunus cerasifera Ehrhart (wild cherry plum) in China. Fourteen SSR primer pairs generated a total of 94 alleles (90 were polymorphic, accounting for 95.74%), with a mean of 6.71 alleles per locus. The number of alleles detected at each locus ranged from 2 at BPPCT 028 to 13 at BPPCT 002, with an average .. Read More»
