Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase (eNOS) Gene Polymorphisms and Risk of Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: An Updated Meta-Analysis
Authors: N. Manabesh, M. Shubham, K. Amit, S. Rakhee, K. Pradeep
Previously published studies have examined whether the polymorphisms (G894T, 4b/a, and T786C) in the Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase (eNOS) gene are associated with risk of Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (aSAH), have reported conflicting results. Thus, we performed a meta-analysis to examine the potential association between these three single nucle.. Read More»

Development and Transferability of Microsatellites Markers for Species of the Saltans Group of Drosophila (Diptera: Drosophilidae)
Authors: B.E. Roman, B.M. Trava and L. Madi-Ravazzi
The microsatellite markers (SSRs) are highly polymorphic, fast evolving, and regarded as neutral markers. Due to these traits, they have been widely used in population studies. The development of specific SSRs for a given species opens possibilities for the application, by means of transferability, in population studies of other species that are phylogene.. Read More»

Knock down of molt regulating gene for development control of Helicoverpa armigera
Authors: M.N. Sharif, M.S. Iqbal, R. Alam, B. Tabassum, M.F. Awan, Q. Ali and I.A. Nasir
RNA interference (RNAi) caused by exogenous double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) is a powerful tool, and to date is widely adopted to knockdown genetic targets crucial for growth and development of agriculturally important insect pests. Helicoverpa armigera is a pest feeding on more than 30 economically important crops worldwide and a major threat. Resistance to i.. Read More»

Genetic Evaluation for Effects of Salt and Drought Stress on Growth Traits of Zea mays Seedlings
Authors: M. Khalil, M.S. Rashid, Q. Ali and A. Malik
Maize is an important grain cash crop grown throughout the world for its grain and fodder. It is highly sensitive for abiotic stress conditions; like drought, chilling, alkalinity, heat, salt and cold conditions. Present study was carried out to find out the effects of salt or NaCl and drought stress on three selected maize genotypes viz., P6103, L5971 an.. Read More»

Genetic Advances and Heritability Analysis for Seedling Growth Traits in Zea mays under Heavy Metal Stress
Authors: A. Ashraf, M.S. Rashid, Q. Ali and A. Malik
Maize (Zea mays L.) is an important cereal crop grown throughout the world for its grain and fodder. Maize is very sensitive to salt, drought, heavy metal and cold stress conditions. An experiment was conducted in the green house of Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, The University of Lahore. EV-1097Q and B-316 maize genotypes were selected.. Read More»

Differential expression of genes associated with low-level vancomycin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus
Authors: Auttawit Sirichoat, Viraphong Lulitanond, Sujintana Wongthong, Aroonwadee Chanawong, Ratree Tavichakorntrakool and Aroonlug Lulitanond
Heterogeneous vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (hVISA) and vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus (VISA) have been associated with treatment failure, and hVISA cannot be detected by routine disc diffusion test. Currently, there is no specific genetic marker for detection of these strains. The aim of the current study was to inves.. Read More»

Expression of HCN and sodium channels in murine model of Type I diabetes
Authors: Anantha Maharasi Rama Krishnan and Kavitha Sankaranarayanan
Pancreatic apoptosis is an important event in the pathogenesis of Type 1 Diabetes. It is characterized by secretion and binding of inflammatory cytokines to the pancreatic islets, that activate downstream signaling mechanism. These signaling mechanisms finally increase intracellular calcium level and that lead to the activation of apoptotic pathways. Ion .. Read More»

Dynamism of the breeding program for irrigated rice in Southeast Brazil
Authors: A.C. Silva J�ºnior, V.Q. Carneiro, I.G. Santos, W.G Costa, R.D.S. Rosado, C.D. Cruz and P.C. Soares
The estimation of the genotypic replacement rate is aimed at evaluating the performance of breeding programs. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the dynamics of the genetic improvement program of flooded rice, developed in Minas Gerais, during the period from 1993 to 2016. We evaluated 210 lines in three environments between 1993 and 2016, .. Read More»
