Evaluation of Genetic Variability in Wheat and Maize under Heavy Metal and Drought Stress
Authors: M. Tahir, M.S. Rashid, Q. Ali and A. Malik
There are certain conditions which cause a change in the growth pattern of plants. These circumstances are significantly effective in growth and cultivation of major crops. The effects of higher levels of copper sulphate through fertilizers can be effective in reducing the growth of a healthy plant. An experiment was conducted in the greenhouse of Institu.. Read More»

AtBTH1, a BTB domain-containing protein, influences sugar-responsive germination and seedling growth in Arabidopsis
Authors: J.E. Hwang, Y.J. Kim, M.H. Shin, J. Park, W. Choi, D.J. Yun and H.C. Park
Sugars function as signal molecules that regulate gene expression, growth, and development in plants, animals, and yeasts. As a contribution to understanding the molecular mechanisms of sugar responses, we identified and characterized an Arabidopsis thaliana BTB domain-containing protein of the H subfamily 1 (designated AtBTH1). The relative expression le.. Read More»

Genetic diversity and population structure of ancient Platycladus orientalis (Cupressaceae) in the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor revealed by SSR
Authors: Yao Xu1, Jiantao Zhao, Sheng Zhang, Zhong Zhao
Ancient trees can serve as genetic reservoirs for special genes, and they are of significance in genetic applications dealing with forest fragmentation, climate change and drought. The Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor in Shaanxi China has the largest number of ancient Platycladus orientalis trees. Here, Simple sequence repeat (SSR) technique was used to st.. Read More»

Lentinus crinitus strains respond differently to cultivation pH and temperature
Authors: R.A. Marim, K.V. Avelino, G.A. Linde, N.B. Colauto and J.S. Valle
Fungus ability to respond to environmental changes allows their adaptation to a wide variety of conditions such as pH, temperature, light, nutrient availability, chemicals, and competition among species. Temperature and pH can affect fungal growth as well as their metabolism. Knowing these factors on fungus species is relevant.. Read More»

Effect of 1,25(OH)2D3 on the proliferation of human mesangial cells and their expression of Ki67
Authors: D. Zhao, C.-J. Zhang, R. Yang, J.-P. Chen, L. Ma, G. Liu and X.-P. Yang
Previous studies have found that 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3 or VD3] exerts many biological effects, including the inhibition of cell proliferation and induction of apoptosis, but its mechanism of action remains unclear. The goal of our investigation was to explore the effects of 1,25(OH)2D3 on the proliferation of c.. Read More»
