Authors: T.T. Pinheiro, D.S. Nishimura, F.B. De Nadai, A. Figueira and R.R. Latado
Red-fleshed oranges (Citrus sinensis) contain high levels of carotenoids and lycopene. The growing consumer demand for products with health benefits has increased interest in these types of Citrus cultivars as a potential source of nutraceuticals. However, little is known about the physiology of these cultivars under Brazilian conditions. Transcriptome an.. Read More»

Molecular cloning and expression analysis of a novel BCCP subunit gene from Aleurites moluccana
Authors: W.Y. Xuan, Y. Zhang, Z.Q. Liu, D. Feng and M.Y. Luo
Aleurites moluccana L. is grown as a roadside tree in southern China and the oil content of its seed is higher than other oil plants, such as Jatropha curcas and Camellia oleifera. A. moluccana is considered a promising energy plant because its seed oil could be used to produce biodiesel and bio-jet fuel. In addition, the bark, leaves, and kernels of A. m.. Read More»

Expression pattern of JMJD1C in oocytes and its impact on early embryonic development
Authors: C.H. Li, Y. Gao, S. Wang, F.F. Xu, L.S. Dai, H. Jiang, X.F. Yu, C.Z. Chen, B. Yuan and J.B. Zhang
Cell reprogramming mediated by histone methylation and demethylation is crucial for the activation of the embryonic genome in early embryonic development. In this study, we employed quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) to detect mRNA levels and expression patterns of all known histone demethylases in early germinal vesicle stage and ..

Sex- and age-dependent expression of Pax7, Myf 5, MyoG, and Myostatin in yak skeletal muscles
Authors: G. Wu, J. Zhang, L. Wang, S. Xu, J. Zhou, A. Xiang and C. Yang
The aim of this study was to investigate the myogenic factor mRNA expression pattern of Pax7, Myf5, MyoG, and Myostatin mRNA at different ages, sexes, and muscle tissues of Datong yaks. The expression patterns in semimembranosus (SM), quadriceps femoris (QF), and triceps muscle of arm (TM) were detected by quantitative real-ti.. Read More»

Molecular cloning and expression analysis of a pearl oyster (Pinctada martensii) heat shock protein 90 (HSP90)
Authors: H.Y. Liang, Z.X. Wang, Q.N. Lei, R.L. Huang, Y.W. Deng, Q.H. Wang, Y. Jiao and X.D. Du
Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) is an important molecular chaperone required for proper folding of cellular proteins, and thus, it plays an essential role in protecting cells from damage during stress. In this study, an HSP90 cDNA designated PmHSP90 was cloned from the mantle tissue of the pearl oyster Pinctada martensii using reverse transcription polymera.. Read More»

Correlation of increased MALAT1 expression with pathological features and prognosis in cancer patients: a meta-analysis
Authors: X.S. Shi, J. Li, R.H. Yang, G.R. Zhao, H.P. Zhou, W.X. Zeng and M. Zhou
Metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) has been identified as a potential cancer biomarker, yet the mechanism by which it influences the development of cancer remains unknown. In this study, we aimed to correlate MALAT1 expression with pathological features and prognosis in cancer patients. Several databases were searched using co.. Read More»

Expression patterns of melatonin receptors in chicken ovarian follicles affected by monochromatic light
Authors: D.Y. Li, N. Wu, J.B. Tu, Y.D. Hu, M.Y. Yang, H.D. Yin, B.L. Chen, H.L. Xu, Y.F. Yao and Q. Zhu
Artificial illumination is an important exogenous factor in the control of many physiological and behavioral processes as well as an important environmental factor in the management of laying hens. Melatonin receptors are members of the G protein-coupled receptor family. The hormone melatonin is secreted primarily by the pineal gland, with highest levels .. Read More»

Comparative proteomic analysis reveals mite (Varroa destructor) resistance-related proteins in Eastern honeybees (Apis cerana)
Authors: T. Ji, F. Shen, Z. Liu, L. Yin, J. Shen, Q. Liang and Y.X. Luo
The mite (Varroa destructor) has become the greatest threat to apiculture worldwide. As the original host of the mite, Apis cerana can effectively resist the mite. An increased understanding of the resistance mechanisms of Eastern honeybees against V. destructor may help researchers to protect other species against these parasites. In this study, the prot..
