DNA barcoding of populations of Fallopia multiflora, an indigenous herb in China
Authors: X.Q. Sun, M.M. Bai, H. Yao, J.L. Guo, M.M. Li and Y.Y. Hang
Fallopia multiflora, locally known as Heshouwu, is one of the most important and widely used Chinese medicinal herbs. However, there is still considerable confusion concerning its different provenances. DNA barcoding is a recent aid to taxonomic identification and uses a short standardized DNA region to discriminate plant species. We assessed the applicab.. Read More»

Identification of smut-responsive genes in sugarcane using cDNA-SRAP
Authors: N. Huang, Y.Y. Zhang, X.H. Xiao, L. Huang, Q.B. Wu, Y.X. Que and L.P. Xu
Sugarcane smut, caused by the fungus Sporisorium scitamineum, is one of the main diseases that affect sugarcane worldwide. In the present study, the cDNA-SRAP technique was used to identify genes that are likely to be involved in the response of sugarcane to S. scitamineum infection. In total, 21 bands with significant differential expression during cDNA-.. Read More»

In silico analysis of diverse endophytic fungi by using ITS1-5,8S-ITS2 sequences with isolates from various plant families in Brazil
Authors: S.A. Rhoden, A. Garcia, J.L. Azevedo and J.A. Pamphile
Brazil has a great diversity of plants, and considering that all plant species studied to date have endophytic microorganisms (bacteria or fungi), the country is a resource in the search for bioactive compounds. Endophytes live within plants without causing damage and may be in dynamic equilibrium with the health of the plant. Endophytic fungi can be iden.. Read More»

Biogeographic pattern of genetic diversity detected by RAPD and ISSR analysis in Gypsophila (Caryophyllaceae) species from Turkey
Authors: M. Korkmaz and N.Y. Dogan
Gypsophila L. is the 3rd-largest genus of Caryophyllaceae in Turkey, a country that includes 60 taxa belonging to 56 species of the 126 recognized in the genus. A total of 35 taxa are endemic to Turkey, with an approximately 60% endemism ratio. In this study, the genetic diversity of 14 Gypsophila species from Turkey was analyzed using random amplificatio..

Application of DNA barcoding markers to the identification of Hopea species
Authors: Nguyen T.P. Trang, N.M. Duc, N.V. Sinh and L. Triest
Hopea chinensis (synonym: H. hongayensis) (Dipterocarpaceae) is a threatened species found so far in only two locations: Quang Ninh (Vietnam) and Guangxi (China). The species shares many morphological characteristics with H. mollissima and the two species are often confused. To overcome this problem of identification and to investigate the genetic relatio..

Molecular characterization of a Han Chinese family with essential hypertension
Authors: J.F. Zhu, X. Zhang and L. Ling
Mutations in the mitochondrial genome have been found to be associated with essential hypertension. Here, we report the clinical and molecular characterization of a three-generation Han Chinese family with maternally inherited hypertension. Most strikingly, this pedigree exhibited a high penetrance of hypertension. Sequence an.. Read More»

tRNALeu intron (UAA) of Ficus carica L.: genetic diversity and evolutionary patterns
Authors: G. Baraket,A.B. Abdelkrim and A. Salhi-Hannachi
Cytoplasmic chloroplast DNA was explored to establish genetic relationships among Ficus carica cultivars and elucidate the molecular evolution of the species. The results suggest the occurrence of haplotype and nucleotide diversity. Conserved group I intron sequence motifs were detected and showed a common secondary structure, despite the presence of some.. Read More»

Genome-scale meta-analysis of DNA methylation during progression of lung adenocarcinoma
Authors: Q.H. Zhang, X.H. Dai, Z.M. Dai and Y.N. Cai
Identification of epigenetic alterations in tumors has become a common method for identifying genes critical to cancer development and progression. Thus, we identified DNA methylation alterations on the genome scale during lung adenocarcinoma (LADC) progression to understand the carcinogenic process and identify clinically relevant biomarkers. We found th.. Read More»

Analysis of DNA equilibrium configuration under interfacial traction
Authors: Y.Z. Wang, Q.C. Zhang, W. Wang and Y.W. Yang
Kirchhoff thin elastic rod models are important in the study of the mechanism determining the configurations of flexible structures not only at the macroscopic but also at the microscopic scale. In this study, the energy balance method has been well applied to analyze the configuration of a DNA elastic rod in the presence of i.. Read More»

Construction of a cDNA library of the Chinese wild Vitis amurensis under cold stress and analysis of potential hardiness-related expressed sequence tags
Authors: J. Zhang, N. Liu, R. Niu, Y. Liu, H. Zhai, W. Xu and Y. Wang
A cDNA library of Chinese wild Vitis amurensis, which is the most cold-resistant species in the genus Vitis, was constructed using young leaves of seedlings of the clone Heilongjiang potted and subjected to cold stress. The leaves were harvested at various times after cold stress for total RNA extraction, which was used to generate expressed sequence tags.. Read More»
