Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in men and the second leading cause of cancer death in women worldwide. Fascin-1 and laminin-5 were associated with the invasiveness and prognoses of several cancers. The expression and the serum levels of fascin-1 and laminin-5 in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC.. Read More»

Isolation, diversity, and biotechnological potential of rhizo- and endophytic bacteria associated with mangrove plants from Saudi Arabia
Authors: F. Bibi, I. Ullah, S.A. Alvi, S.A. Bakhsh, M. Yasir, A.A.K. Al-Ghamdi and E.I. Azhar
Marine bacteria have been exceptional sources of halotolerant enzymes since decades. The aim of the present study was to isolate bacteria producing hydrolytic enzymes from seven different mangroves collected from the coastal area of Thuwal, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and to further screen them for other enzymatic and antifungal act..

Differential gene expression in the peripheral blood of Chinese Sanhe cattle exposed to severe cold stress
Authors: Q. Xu, Y.C. Wang, R. Liu, L.F. Brito, L. Kang, Y. Yu, D.S. Wang, H.J. Wu and A. Liu
Livestock is an important food resource for the inhabitants of cold regions, such as northern Asia and alpine regions, where agriculture is limited. In these regions, cold stress largely affects livestock production, thereby reducing the productivity and survival of animals. Despite the importance of breeding cold-tolerant ani.. Read More»

De novo transcriptome assembly of sugarcane leaves submitted to prolonged water-deficit stress
Authors: A.A. Belesini, F.M.S. Carvalho, B.R. Telles, G.M. de Castro, P.F. Giachetto, J.S. Vantini, S.D. Carlin, J.O. Cazetta, D.G. Pinheiro and M.I.T. Ferro
Sugarcane production is strongly influenced by drought, which is a limiting factor for agricultural productivity in the world. In this study, the gene expression profiles obtained by de novo assembly of the leaf transcriptome of two sugarcane cultivars that differ in their physiological response to water deficit were evaluated..

Identification of reference genes for RT-qPCR analysis in peach genotypes with contrasting chilling requirements
Authors: N. Marini, C.B. Bevilacqua, M.V. B?¼ttow, M.C.B. Raseira and S. Bonow
Selecting and validating reference genes are the first steps in studying gene expression by reverse transcriptase-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The present study aimed to evaluate the stability of five reference genes for the purpose of normalization when studying gene expression in various cultivars of Pru.. Read More»

Genetic divergence among corn hybrids and combining ability for agronomic and bromatological traits of silage
Authors: E. Gralak, M.V. Faria, A.S.T. Figueiredo, D.A. Rizzardi, M. Neumann, M.C. Mendes, C.A. Scapim and S. Galbeiro
We assessed the impact of genetic divergence and the ability to combine corn hybrids used for the production of silage on the agronomic and bromatological traits of silage quality. We evaluated 18 corn hybrids used as genitors in a circulant diallel scheme in which each genitor hybrid participated in 9 hybrid combinations, and.. Read More»

Cytogenetic aspects of a canine breast carcinosarcoma - a case report
Authors: C.S.D. Morais, P.R.A.M. Affonso, J.A. Bitencourt and A.A. Wenceslau
This study searched a rare and aggressive type of cancer in dogs and humans, the breast carcinosarcoma. Both clinical and pathological traits of mammary carcinosarcomas in dogs are similar to humans, such as infrequent occurrence, fast tumor growth, and unfavorable prognosis when compared to carcinomas. Other possible alterati.. Read More»

Effects of cell death-inducing DFF45-like effector B on meat quality traits in Berkshire pigs
Authors: G.E. Yu, S. Kwon, J.H. Hwang, S.M. An, D.H. Park, D.G. Kang, T.W. Kim, I.-S. Kim, H.C. Park, J. Ha and C.W. Kim
Cell death-inducing DFF45-like effector (CIDE) B is a member of the CIDE family of apoptosis-inducing factors. In the present study, we detected a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), c.414G>A, which corresponds to the synonymous SNP 414Arg, in CIDE-B in the Berkshire pigs. We also analyzed the relationships between the CI.. Read More»

Study on the association of UGT1A9 gene c.98T>C polymorphism and mycophenolic acid plasma levels in renal transplant patients
Authors: L.R. Ruschel, V.M. Schmitt, A.B. Silva, C.S.A. Oliveira, K. Flach, D.O. dâ??Avila and F.V. Thiesen
Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) is a prodrug active only after its hydrolysis to mycophenolic acid (MPA). The UGT1A9 enzyme is of special interest since it is the main enzyme involved in the glucuronidation of MPA. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the UGT1A9 gene may be responsible for individual differences in the pharma.. Read More»

Authors: S.V. ?lvares-Carvalho, R. Silva-Mann, I.B. Gois, M.F.V. Melo, A.S. Oliveira, R.A. Ferreira and L.J. Gomes
The success of recovery programs on degraded areas is dependent on the genetic material to be used, which should present heterozygosity and genetic diversity in native and recovered populations. This study was carried out to evaluate the model efficiency to enable the recovery of a degraded area of the Lower São Francis.. Read More»
