Genome-wide identification and phylogenetic analysis of the AP2/ERF gene superfamily in sweet orange (Citrus sinensis)

Authors: T.M. Ito, P.B. Polido, M.C. Rampim, G. Kaschuk and S.G.H. Souza

Sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) plays an important role in the economy of more than 140 countries, but it is grown in areas with intermittent stressful soil and climatic conditions. The stress tolerance could be addressed by manipulating the ethylene response factor (ERF) transcription factors because they orchestrate .. Read More»

Identification and expression analysis of YABBY family genes associated with fruit shape in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.)

Authors: H.Q. Han, Y. Liu, M.M. Jiang, H.Y. Ge and H.Y. Chen

YABBY family genes play important roles in the development of leaf, flower, and fruit. The purpose of this research was to integrate all the YABBY genes and analyze the correlation between gene expression and fruit shape in tomato. Scanning of 24 genomes of sequenced species demonstrated that YABBY genes were very normal and stable in flowering plants exc.. Read More»

Molecular cloning and tissue expression analyses of two novel pepper genes: heterotrimeric G protein beta 2 subunit and ArcA1

Authors: M.H. Deng, J.L. Huo, H.S. Zhu, H. Zhou and J.F. Wen

We isolated two transcription factor genes, heterotrimeric G protein beta 2 subunit (Gβ2) and ArcA1, from pepper (Capsicum annuum). The complete coding sequences were amplified using reversed transcriptase PCR based on conserved sequence information of Solanum lycopersicum and several other plant species. Nucleotide sequence analysis of these two gen.. Read More»

Construction of suppressor of cytokine signaling 2 (SOCS2) adenoviral overexpression vector and its impact on growth hormone- induced lipolysis in swine primary adipocytes

Authors: H.L. Yang, J. Yan, M. Feng, X. Tan, G.Y. Yan, L. Gan and C. Sun

We investigated the effect of overexpression suppressor of cytokine signaling 2 (SOCS2) on lipolysis in swine primary adipocytes (pAd) induced by growth hormone (GH). We constructed pAd-SOCS2 adenoviral overexpression vectors to infect HEK293 cells for virus packaging and propagation. Cultured swine primary adipocytes were infected with virus particles; a..

Influence of gender on ABCC2 expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells

Authors: P. Sudchada, W. Chareanchim, A. Assawamakin, P. Thaipiya, W. Choochaimongkhol, N. Thiplui and P. Sukmangsa

It is known that several factors, including gender, may influence the expression of multidrug resistance associated proteins 2 (MRP2/ABCC2) in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). This study aims to compare ABCC2 gene expression in PBMCs of healthy males and females. PBMCs were extracted from 48 females and 44 males, and gene expression was mea.. Read More»
