Single nucleotide polymorphism analysis of the endopolygalacturonase gene in peach and its potential use in crossbreeding programs
Authors: Y. Jiao,R. Ma and M. Yu
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most abundant sequence variations found in plant genomes and are widely used as molecular genetic markers in genetic diversity studies and crossbreeding programs. In this study, we examined 113 DNA sequences of the endopolygalacturonase (endo-PG) gene from 67 peach accessions and found a total of 56 SNPs and .. Read More»

Linkage analysis of SNPs in IGFBP-6 and its relation with the body sizes of pig
Authors: X.B. Fang, S.C. Liu, Q.Y. Wu, S.M. Li, Y.Y. Cheng, H.Y. Fu, C. Lu, D. Su, H. Yu and L.L. Hao
Insulin-like growth factor binding protein-6 (IGFBP-6) is a member of the IGFBP family, which is known to be a key factor in regulating the effect of insulin-like growth factor-2 (IGF-2) on the animal growth and development. Gene sequences of 3'-untranslated regions (UTR) and exon 4 of IGFBP-6 may influence the expression and proteolysis of IGFBP-6. In th.. Read More»

Phylogeography of pink pineapple mealybugs, Dysmicoccus brevipes (Cockerell) reveals the history of pineapple introduction and cultivation in China
Authors: Y.B. He, R.L. Zhan, G.M. Sun, J.B. Wu and Y.L. Zhao
The pink pineapple mealybug (PPM), Dysmicoccus brevipes (Cockerell) (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae), is a widespread plant-sucking insect of considerable concern because it transmits the pineapple mealybug wilt-associated virus. Its distribution is closely linked with its host, the pineapple [Ananas comosus (L.) Merrill] because of its wingless and parthenoge.. Read More»

Association of variants in renal salt reabsorption-related gene SLC12A3 with essential hypertension in a Mongolian population
Authors: J.Q. Liang, Y.G. Xi, C.Y. An and X.L. Su
Mounting evidence has implicated the SLC12A3 gene in essential hypertension. Here, we examined the potential associations of common variants of the SLC12A3 gene with blood pressure traits in Mongolians in China. Genomic DNA was extracted from 508 unrelated Mongolian patients with essential hypertension and 246 normotensive Mongolian subjects for genotypin.. Read More»

Soybean Stem Fly, Melanagromyza sojae (Diptera: Agromyzidae), in the New World: detection of high genetic diversity from soybean fields in Brazil
Authors: J.A. Arnemann, W.T. Tay, T.K. Walsh H. Brier, K. Gordon,F. Hickmann, G. Ugalde and J.V.C. Guedes
Soybean Stem Fly (SSF), Melanagromyza sojae (Zehntner), belongs to the family Agromyzidae and is highly polyphagous, attacking many plant species of the family Fabaceae, including soybean and other beans. SSF is regarded as one of the most important pests in soybean fields of Asia (e.g., China, India), North East Africa (e.g.,.. Read More»

Synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms in the MC4R gene that are significantly associated with milk production traits in water buffaloes
Authors: T.X. Deng, C.Y. Pang, M.Q. Liu, C. Zhang and X.W. Liang
Melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) is associated with feed intake, growth, fatness, and carcass composition in many domestic animals. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in MC4R with milk production traits in water buffalo. Eight SNPs were identified by direct polymerase .. Read More»

Association between TNF-�± -308G>A and -238G>A gene polymorphisms and TNF-�± serum levels in Mexican colorectal cancer patients
Authors: I.A. Guti�©rrez-Hurtado, A.M. Puebla-P�©rez, J.I. Delgado-Saucedo, L.E. Figuera, G.M. Z�º�±iga-Gonz�¡lez, K. Gomez-Mariscal,C.A. Ronquillo-Carre�³n and M.P. Gallegos-Arreola
The objective of this study was to examine the association between TNF-α serum levels and -308G>A and -238G>A polymorphisms in the corresponding gene by comparing healthy subjects to colorectal cancer (CRC) patients from a Mexican population. Serum levels of TNF-α were found to significantly differ between CR.. Read More»

Association of SNPs in the PPAR�³ gene and hypertension in a Mongolian population
Authors: L. Yang, R.G. Tian, P.Y. Chang, M.R. Yan and X.L. Su
The association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in PPARγ with hypertension is controversial. The aim of the present study was to clarify the contributions of PPARγ genetic variants to hypertension through an association study. A total of 414 unrelated Mongolian herdsmen and 524 Han farmers were included in this study. Fourteen intron.. Read More»
