Authors: H.J. Yuan, X.M. Luo, T.S. Nyima, Y.L. Wang, Q.J. Xu and X.Q. Zeng
Hulless barley is an important crop cereal in Tibetan, China. Drought is a major abiotic stress in barley production. In this study, we cloned the drought-related HbSINA4 gene from the variety ‘Himalaya 10’ and analyzed its expression patterns under different drought and rehydration conditions. The cDNA of..

Isolation and expression analysis of four HD-ZIP III family genes targeted by microRNA166 in peach
Authors: C.H. Zhang, B.B. Zhang, R.J. Ma, M.L. Yu, S.L. Guo and L. Guo
MicroRNA166 (miR166) is known to have highly conserved targets that encode proteins of the class III homeodomain-leucine zipper (HD-ZIP III) family, in a broad range of plant species. To further understand the relationship between HD-ZIP III genes and miR166, four HD-ZIP III family genes (PpHB14, PpHB15, PpHB8, and PpREV) were isolated from peach (Prunus .. Read More»

Effect of luteolin on gene expression in mouse H22 hepatoma cells
Authors: J.X. Niu1, H.P. Guo2, H.M. Gan3, L.D. Bao4, J.J. Ren1
The purpose of our study was to observe the effects of luteolin on the expression of the genes ICAM-1, LFA-3, and PCNA in H22 hepatoma tissue. Sixty ICR (Institute of Cancer Research) mice with H22 hepatoma were randomly divided into five groups: a normal saline control group, low-, medium-, and high-dose luteolin groups, and a cyclophosphamide group. The.. Read More»

Analysis of gene expression patterns and levels in maize hybrids and their parents
Authors: H.S. Nie, S.P. Li, X.H. Shan, Y. Wu, S.Z. Su, H.K. Liu, J.Y. Han and Y.P. Yuan
Heterosis has greatly contributed to conventional plant breeding and is widely used to increase crop plant productivity. However, although some studies have explored the mechanisms of heterosis at the genomic and transcriptome level, these mechanisms still remain unclear. The growth and development of maize seedlings and immat.. Read More»

Molecular characterization and expression patterns of insulin-like growth factor-binding protein genes in postnatal Nanjiang brown goats
Authors: S.Y. Zhan, L. Chen, L. Li, L.J. Wang, T. Zhong and H.P. Zhang
Insulin-like growth factor-binding proteins (IGFBPs) play a key role in modulating insulin-like growth factors (IGFs), and are considered candidate genes for growth traits in livestock. In this study, we identified the complete coding sequences of IGFBP-1 to -6 in the Nanjiang brown goat, and assessed gene tissue expression pa.. Read More»

Intestinal lactic acid bacteria from Muscovy duck as potential probiotics that alter adhesion factor gene expression
Authors: Z.L. Xie, D.P. Bai, L.N. Xie, W.N. Zhang, X.H. Huang and Y.F. Huang
The purpose of this study was to assess the suitability of lactic acid bacteria (LABs) isolated from Muscovy duck as a potential probiotic. Isolates were identified by targeted polymerase chain reaction and assessed in vitro for probiotic characteristics such as autoaggregation; surface-charge; hydrophobicity; tolerance to aci..

Gene expression profiling of somatic and pluripotent cells reveals novel pathways involved in reprogramming
Authors: Y.N. Cai, X.H. Dai, Q.H. Zhang, R.Hu and Z.M. Dai
We investigated gene expression in embryonic stem (ES) cells, induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, and fibroblasts. Microarray expression data sets obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus were analyzed using the Partek software. Human genes from ES cells, iPS cells, and fibroblasts were ranked from low to high according to .. Read More»

Genome-wide identification, classification, and expression analysis of sHSP genes in Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa ssp pekinensis)
Authors: P. Tao, W.L. Guo, B.Y. Li, W.H. Wang, Z.C. Yue, J.L. Lei and X.M. Zhong
Small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) are essential for the plant’s normal development and stress responses, especially the heat stress response. The information regarding sHSP genes in Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa ssp pekinensis) is sparse, hence we performed a genome-wide analysis to identify sHSP genes in this species. .. Read More»

Serial analysis of gene expression in adenocarcinoma samples and normal colonic mucosa in a Chinese population
Authors: X.L. Zhang, F. Gao, W. Li, W.Z. Tang and S. Zhang
The goal of this study was to identify the differences in gene expression between adenocarcinoma samples and colonic normal mucosa of a Chinese population. Gene expression libraries of adenocarcinoma and normal colonic mucosa were generated by serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE). Expression tags were obtained from sequencing results using the SAGE20.. Read More»

Expression of the 2-dehydro-3-deoxyphosphooctonate aldolase (KdsA) gene in mulberry leaves (Morus alba L.) is down-regulated under high salt and drought stress
Authors: X.B. Yang, S.L. Wu, D.P. Zhu, H. Wu, T. Jiang, Y.H. Qian and F. Jiao
The oligosaccharide 3-deoxy-d-manno-oct-2-ulosonic acid (Kdo) is a key component of lipopolysaccharide in Gram-negative bacteria, and is also part of the pectic polysaccharide rhamnogalacturonan (RG-II) of the plant cell wall. The enzyme KDO-8-phosphate synthase (KDO8Ps), encoded by the 2-dehydro-3-deoxyphosphooctonate aldolas.. Read More»
