Authors: Muhammad Imran Naseer, Osama Yousef Muthaffar , Mahmood Rasool, Angham Abdulrahman Abdulkareem, Mohammad Alam Jafri, Peter Natesan Pushparaj, Gauthaman Kalamegam, Adeel G. Chaudhary, Mohammad H. Al-Qahtani

Gitelman syndrome (GS) is a genetic disorder that affects kidney and causes an imbalance of charged atoms (ions) in the body, including ions of potassium, magnesium, and calcium. GS is characterized by hypokalemia and metabolic alkalosis. GS is a rare autosomal recessive renal tubulopathy disease caused by loss-of-function mut.. Read More»

LC-MS based identification of secondary metabolites from marine antagonistic endophytic bacteria

Authors: Fehmida Bibi, Muhammad Imran Naseer, Muhammad Yasir, Ahmed Abdullah Khalaf Al-Ghamdi, Esam Ibrahim Azhar

Halophytes occupy coastal and sub-coastal area of marine environment. They potential candidates for search of novel and new bacterial flora that have immense potential to yield novel therapeutic agents. Six different endophytic bacteria have been isolated from pneumatophores and roots of three halophytes (Salsola imbricata, Av.. Read More»

Parapatric speciation found in Limnonectes (Dicroglossidae) species in Thailand

Authors: Pimwipa Teerawarunyoo, Chatmongkon Suwannapoom, Phuping Sucharitakul, Kittisak Buddhachat, Waranee Pradit, Korakot Nganvongpanit and Siriwadee Chomdej

Biodiversity stems from speciation, and species identification allows scientists to measure species biodiversity. However, some closely related species, particularly amphibians that choose to inhabit the same environment, are difficult to identify. Juvenile specimens of Limnonectes gyldenstolpei (Lg) and L. taylori (Lt) were u.. Read More»

Cloning and expression analysis of pistillata-like gene in Sedirea japonica

Authors: Suhua Jiang, Suyan Niu, Xiuyun Yuan, Fang Liang, Shenping Xu, Mofei Wang, Bo Cui

Members of the pistillata-like (PI-like) subfamily of plant MADS-box genes play multiple roles in regulation of reproductive meristems and the specification of sepal and petal identities. However, the function of PI-like genes in the Sedirea japonica is largely unknown. In this study, a full-length of PI-like gene in Sedirea j.. Read More»

Authors: Mu-Yeong Lee, Hea Chang Moon, Hey Sook Jeon, Eui-Geun Song, Donggul Woo, HeeBok Park, Tae-Young Choi, Kyung-Yeon Eo, Yongsun Hyun, Kangbok Lee, Young-Seok Park, Ju-Young Moon, Hyun-Jin Han, Junghwa An

The yellow-throated marten (Martes flavigula Boddaert 1785) is a medium-sized carnivore and a top predator in South Korea that is distributed throughout Western and Southeast Asia and Siberia in a wide range of habitats. In this study, we developed a panel of polymorphic microsatellite markers for M. flavigula by Illumina next.. Read More»

Differential expression of trypsin-3 and phosrestin II genes in the main malaria vector, Anopheles darlingi, from the Brazilian Amazon region

Authors: Ohse, K.C, Matiolli, C.C, Scarpassa, V.M, Santos, V. S, Tadei, W. P, Rafael, M. S

Anopheles darlingi is the most anthropophilic mosquito related to Plasmodium infection of malaria, causing significant morbidity and mortality in South America. Pyrethroid chemical has been used to control mosquitos. We analyzed the expression of trypsin-3 and phosrestin II genes implicated to feeding and resistance to insecti.. Read More»

Relevance of Additive and Nonadditive Genetic Relatedness for Genomic Prediction in Rice Population under Recurrent Selection Breeding

Authors: Odilon P. Morais J�ºnior, Jo�£o Batista Duarte, Fl�¡vio Breseghello, Alexandre S. G. Coelho, Tereza C. O. Borba, Jordene T. Aguiar, P�©ricles C. F. Neves, and Orlando P. Morais

In genomic recurrent selection programs of self-pollinated crops, additive genetic effects (breeding values) are effectively relevant for selection of superior progenies as new parents. However, considering additive and nonadditive genetic effects can improve the prediction of genome-enhanced breeding values (GEBV) of progenie.. Read More»

Authors: F.G. Teixeira, O.T. Hamawaki, A.P.O. Nogueira, R.L. Hamawaki, C.L. Hamawaki, T.P. Mattos, I.C. Silveira and L.A. Medeiros

Precocious soybean cultivars enable crop rotation and low pressure to the biotic and abiotic factors. This study aimed to determinate the inheritance of characters related to precocity and agronomic characters in soybean segregating population, coming from contrasting genitors to cycle. The experiment was conducted at a gre.. Read More»
