Mapping quantitative trait loci for five forage quality traits in a sorghum-sudangrass hybrid
Authors: J.Q. Li, L.H. Wang, Q.W. Zhan, Y.L. Liu, Q. Zhang, J.F. Li and F.F. Fan
The identification of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) affecting forage quality traits enables an understanding of the genetic mechanism of these loci. The aim of the present study was to detect QTLs for the whole-plant protein content (WP), whole-plant fat content (WF), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), and whole-plant ash content ..

Identification of ANAPC13 gene polymorphisms associated with body measurement traits in Bos taurus
Authors: B.J. Jiang X.L. Zhan C.Z. Fu H.B. Wang G. Cheng L.S. Zan
Body measurement traits, influenced by genes and environmental factors, play numerous important roles in the value assessment of productivity and economy. There has been some indication that ANAPC13 influences adult height. We used PCR-SSCP and DNA sequencing technology to identify polymorphisms in the ANAPC13 gene. A polymorphism in intron 1 (A > G at.. Read More»

Path analysis of the energy density of wood in eucalyptus clones
Authors: A.M. Couto, P.E. Teodoro, P.F. Trugilho
Path analysis has been used for establishing selection criteria in genetic breeding programs for several crops. However, it has not been used in eucalyptus breeding programs yet. In the present study, we aimed to identify the wood technology traits that could be used as the criteria for direct and indirect selection of eucalyp.. Read More»

Molecular phylogenetic study of Cardamine amaraeformis Nakai using nuclear and chloroplast DNA markers
Authors: M.A. Ali J. Lee S.Y. Kim F.M.A. Al-Hemaid
The internal transcribed spacer regions of nuclear ribosomal DNA, trnL and trnL-F chloroplast genes of Cardamine amaraeformis Nakai (Brassicaceae) were sequenced and analyzed with the sequences of related Cardamine sp available in GenBank to detect the pattern of C. amaraeformis evolutionary differentiation. C. amaraeformis, which is endemic to South Korea, .. Read More»

Diallel cross analysis of plesiomorphic traits in Triticum aestivum L. genotypes
Authors: M. Shehzad, S.B. Hussain, M.K. Qureshi, M. Akbar, M. Javed1, H.M. Imran and S.A. Manzoor
We conducted a 5 x 5 complete diallel cross experiment in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) with the genotypes 6309, Chkwal-50, Dhrabi, Bhkhar-02, and FS-08. Our objective was to evaluate the type of gene action and the general and specific combining abilities required for various morphological traits in wheat. The results of analysis of variance revealed h.. Read More»

Molecular phylogeny of Colletotrichum (Sordariomycetes: Glomerellaceae) inferred from multiple gene sequences
Authors: H. Chen, Y. Ma, W.F. Zhang, T. Ma and H.X. Wu
The genus Colletotrichum contains many important plant pathogens mainly distributed in tropical areas. Previous studies that utilized morphology or single genes have failed to resolve the phylogenetic relationships among the species. In this study, sequences of β-tubulin, 28S ribosomal DNA, and ITS region from nine species were analyzed separately an.. Read More»

Analysis of genetic diversity in Larix gmelinii (Pinaceae) with RAPD and ISSR markers
Authors: L. Zhang H.G. Zhang X.F. Li
Dahurian larch (Larix gmelinii), a deciduous conifer, is the northernmost tree, native to eastern Siberia and nearby regions of China. We used growth traits and molecular markers to assess genetic variation in different L. gmelinii growing regions; 105 individual samples were collected from seven regions of the Qingshan Forestry Centre, Heilongjiang Province..

Genetic diversity analysis in Opal cotton hybrids based on SSR, ISSR, and RAPD markers
Authors: Z. Noormohammadi Y. Hasheminejad-Ahangarani Farahani M. Sheidai S. Ghasemzadeh-Baraki O. Alishah
Cotton is one of the most economically important crops in Iran; hybridization is a means to increase the genetic diversity and obtain new elite cultivars in this crop. We examined agronomic characteristics and molecular genetic diversity in the Opal cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) cultivar and in F2 progenies. Ten homo-primers and seven hetero-primers of 26 RAPD..

P2X7 receptor in the hippocampus is involved in gp120-induced cognitive dysfunction
Authors: Y. Liu, G.Q. Chen, B.Y. Liu, Q. Chen, Y.M. Qian, S.S. Qin, C.L. Liu and C.S. Xu
To investigate the role of the P2X7 receptor in learning and memory dysfunction induced by HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein gp120 (gp120), we established HIV-1-associated dementia (HAD) animal models by intracerebroventricular (ICV) infusion of gp120 in rats. We observed gp120-induced cognitive dysfunction in the radial arm water m.. Read More»
