Comparison between modified DNA extraction protocols and commercial isolation kits in grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.)
Authors: M. Akkurt
Various protocols have been developed and used for DNA extraction in grapevine. However, owing to the long duration of the isolation steps in previously developed protocols, researchers have preferred to use isolation kits for studies in recent years. In our study, the DNA yield and purity obtained using six methods - namely three DNA isolation protocols .. Read More»

Screening for genes that are differentially-expressed between gastric cancer cells and gastric tumor sphere cells using the gene chip technique
Authors: W.H. Shi, Y.B. Yu, Z.-Y. Li, X.-C. Guo, Z.-L. Wei and Z.-H. Zheng
The purpose of this study was to screen for genes that were differentially expressed between a human gastric carcinoma cell line (HGC-27) and their tumor spheres, using the gene chip technique. The HGC-27 cells and tumor sphere cells were cultured in vitro in a sterile environment. Total RNA was extracted from both sa.. Read More»

Morphological traits and RAPD markers for characterization and identification of minor Spanish olive cultivars from the Extremadura region
Authors: M.C. Parra-Lobato, F.J. Delgado-Martinez and M.C. Gomez-Jimenez
A total of 91 wild olive accessions and 31 olive cultivars growing in the Extremadura region of central-western Spain were analyzed using morphological traits and RAPD markers. We focused on three main and 16 minor Spanish olive cultivars that are recognized as native or local to the Extremadura region. The five arbitrary 10-mer primers tested on the oliv.. Read More»

Trace samples of human blood in mosquitoes as a forensic investigation tool
Authors: K.C.N. Rab�?ªlo, C.M.R. Albuquerque, V.B. Tavares, S.M. Santos, C.A. Souza, T.C. Oliveira, N.C.L. Oliveira and S. Crovella
Investigations of any type of crime invariably starts at the crime scene by collecting evidence. Thus, the purpose of this research was to collect and analyze an entomological trace from an environment that is similar to those of indoor crime scenes. Hematophagous mosquitoes were collected from two residential units; saliva of.. Read More»

Molecular cloning, polymorphisms, and expression analysis of the RERG gene in indigenous Chinese goats
Authors: M.X. Sui, H.H. Wang and Z.W. Wang
The current study aimed to investigate the coding sequence, polymorphisms, and expression of the RERG gene in indigenous Chinese goats. cDNA of RERG, obtained through reverse transcription PCR was analyzed using bioinformatic techniques. Polymorphisms in the exon regions of the RERG gene were identified and their associations .. Read More»

Phylogenetic diversity of endophytic leaf fungus isolates from the medicinal tree Trichilia elegans (Meliaceae)
Authors: S.A. Rhoden, A. Garcia, C.J. Rubin Filho, J.L. Azevedo and J.A. Pamphile
Various types of organisms, mainly fungi and bacteria, live within vegetal organs and tissues, without causing damage to the plant. These microorganisms, which are called endophytes, can be useful for biological control and plant growth promotion; bioactive compounds from these organisms may have medical and pharmaceutical applications. Trichilia elegans .. Read More»

Genetic diversity and phylogeny of rhizobia isolated from Caragana microphylla growing in desert soil in Ningxia, China
Authors: J. Dai, X. Liu and Y. Wang
Rhizobia are soil bacteria with the capacity to induce nitrogen-fixing nodules on the roots or stems of legume plants. A total of 40 bacterial isolates from the root nodules of Caragana microphylla growing in desert soil in Ningxia, China, were analyzed for genetic diversity and phylogenetic position. These isolates were classified into 7 types of 16S rib.. Read More»

Huwe1 as a therapeutic target for neural injury
Authors: J. Zhou, Q. Liu M. Mao and Y. Tong
The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) regulates many cellular processes, including protein stability, cell cycle control, DNA repair, transcription, signal transduction, and protein trafficking. In fact, UPS plays a key role in various stress conditions such as ischemia, glutamate toxicity, Alzheimer’s disease, and Parki.. Read More»
