Authors: J.S. Santos, A.T. Amaral J?ºnior, M. Vivas, G.S. Mafra, G.F. Pena,F.H.L. Silva and A.G. Guimar?£es
The present study was conducted to investigate the genetic control and to estimate the general and specific combining abilities of popcorn for agronomic attributes and attributes related to resistance to northern leaf blight (NLB). The 56 hybrids (F1 and reciprocals), together with the eight parent lines and six controls, were.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of Bacillus sp producers of amylase isolated from the soil
Authors: A.R.E.O. Xavier, E.R. Lima, A.M.E. Oliveira, L. Cardoso, J. Santos, C.H.C. Cangussu, L.N. Leite, M.C.L. Quirino, I.G.C. J?ºnior,D.A. Oliveira and M.A.S. Xavier
The microorganisms are the best source of extracellular enzymes since they allow an economical technology with low-resource consumption compared to animals and plants. The amylases are among the most important enzymes being the genus Bacillus one of the most investigated due to its ability to produce this enzyme. The objective.. Read More»

Analysis of melanopsin gene expression in the rabbit retina at different ages
Authors: M.M. Lira-Carrera, B.E. Guti?©rrez-Amavizca, L.J. ?lvarez-Araujo, M. Aguirre-Ram?rez and J.A. P?©rez-Le?³n
Melanopsin is the photopigment of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells that mediate non-visual responses to light. The aim of this study was to describe and analyze melanopsin gene expression in the rabbit retina at different ages and compare its expression with the prototypic gene of retinal ganglion cells (Thy..

Intraspecific variability of popcorn S7 lines for phosphorus efficiency in the soil
Authors: I.F.S. Gerhardt, A.T. Amaral J?ºnior, L.J.M. Guimar?£es, I.A. Schwantes, A. Santos, S.H. Kamphorst, V.J. Lima, F.M. Poblete and G.O. Myers
The expansion of agriculture, coupled with the need for sustainable cropping, is one of the greatest challenges of the scientific community working on the generation of new cultivars adapted to abiotic stress conditions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the variability of popcorn lines as to responsiveness and efficiency .. Read More»

Genetic diversity of arboreal cotton populations of the Brazilian semiarid: a remnant primary gene pool for cotton cultivars
Authors: I.P.P. de Menezes, L.V. Hoffmann, T.H. de Lima, A.R. da Silva, V.S. Lucena and P.A.V. Barroso
Mocó cotton belong to the same species as the cultivated species, Gossypium hirsutum, and cultivated forms were mainly landraces but also developed as cultivars, bearing good fiber quality and drought tolerant when cropped as a perennial species. The northeast Brazil crop system based on this cotton type is finished, wi.. Read More»

Identification of differentially expressed genes in pathways of cerebral neurotransmission of anovulatory mice
Authors: M.A. Azevedo Jr. and I.D.C.G. Silva
Polycystic ovary syndrome is the classic example of loss of functional cyclicity and anomalous feedback. In this case, the excessive extra-glandular production and conversion of androgens to estrogens are the pathophysiological basis of the chronic anovulation. The literature describes an experimental model of the polymicrocys.. Read More»

Tissue distribution and early developmental expression patterns of aldolase A, B, and C in grass carp Ctenopharyngodon idellus
Authors: J.J. Fan, J.J. Bai, D.M. Ma, L.Y. Yu and P. Jiang
Aldolase is a key enzyme involved in glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, and the pentose phosphate pathway. To establish the expression patterns of all three aldolase isozyme genes in different tissues and during early embryogenesis in lower vertebrates, as well as to explore the functional differences between these three isozymes, t..

Genetic control of number of flowers and pod set in common bean
Authors: E.S. Martins, R.A. Pinto J?ºnior, A.F.B. Abreu and M.A.P. Ramalho
This article aimed to study the genetic control of some flowers and pod set of common bean and to verify if its estimate varies with environmental conditions and gene pool. A complete diallel was used among six lines, but no reciprocal ones. The treatments were evaluated in three harvests/generations - F2, F3, and F4 - in 2015.. Read More»

Ewes carrying the Booroola and Vacaria prolificacy alleles respond differently to ovulation induction with equine chorionic gonadotrophin
Authors: J.C.F. Moraes and C.J.H. Souza
The magnitude of ovulation rate (OR) after hormonal induction in sheep should be considered when prolific genotypes are used. We investigated for the first time the effect of the Vacaria allele and its combined effect with the Booroola prolificacy mutation on OR after hormonal treatment during breeding and anoestrous season. A.. Read More»
