Genetic Evaluation for Effects of Salt and Drought Stress on Growth Traits of Zea mays Seedlings
Authors: M. Khalil, M.S. Rashid, Q. Ali and A. Malik
Maize is an important grain cash crop grown throughout the world for its grain and fodder. It is highly sensitive for abiotic stress conditions; like drought, chilling, alkalinity, heat, salt and cold conditions. Present study was carried out to find out the effects of salt or NaCl and drought stress on three selected maize genotypes viz., P6103, L5971 an.. Read More»

Genetic Advances and Heritability for Different Seedling Traits of Wheat and Maize under Heavy Metal and Salt Stress
Authors: K. Afzal, M.S. Rashid, Q. Ali and A. Malik
Maize (Zea mays) and wheat (Triticum aestivum) both are an important cereal crop plants. Both are grown as food and feed for human and livestock. Wheat and maize are highly sensitive to heat, drought, salinity and heavy metal toxicity. For evaluation of genotypes of maize and wheat under heavy metal and salt stress, an experimented was conducted in the gr.. Read More»

Genetic variability for salt tolerance in maize seedlings
Authors: Tanzeel-ur-Rehman, Qurban Ali and Arif Malik
Maize is very sensitive for abiotic environmental stress conditions involving drought, heat and salt stress as important stress conditions. For this purpose a study was planned to conduct in greenhouse of Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, University of the Lahore to determine effects of salt stress on maize seedling growth. For our study w.. Read More»

Characterization of Genetic Diversity and Linkage Disequilibrium of ZmNAC33 in Maize
Authors: Wenping Liu, Chunxiao Zhang, Shufang Li, Fengxue Jin, Wanjun Li, Xiaohui Li
The maize NAC gene, encoding a NAC domain transcription factor, plays vital roles in the growth process of maize under abiotic stresses. To investigate the response of ZmNAC33 to salinity stress, we analyzed the expression of the ZmNAC33 gene in roots and leaves of three-leaf stage seedlings among maize inbred lines. The resul..

Genetics Analysis of the Biggest Cashew Tree in the World
Authors: F.P.M. do Amaral, G.H. de S�¡, L.A. Filgueiras, F.S. Santos Filho, C.J.R. Santos Soares, M.P.M. do Amaral, S.E. dos Santos Valente, A. N. Mendes
This study performed a genetic study of several canopies of Anacardium occidentale L. specimen called "Cashew King" (Cajueiro da Praia-PI, Brazil) in order to assess whether all canopies belong to the same plant. Leaves were collected from different distant points, and preserved for analysis of DNA. The analysi.. Read More»

Generic relationships among Molluginaceae inferred from a molecular phylogenetic analysis of the matK gene
Authors: M.A. Ali, J. Lee and F. Al-Hemaid
The family Molluginaceae (order Caryophyllales) is considered polyphyletic based on the photosynthetic pathway, C4 evolution, and phylogeny of the family. This inference was made based on photosynthetic, anatomical, and molecular datasets. The generic circumscription of this family has greatly been changed owing to the placeme.. Read More»

Evaluation of mutagenic, teratogenic, and immunomodulatory effects of Annona nutans hydromethanolic fraction on pregnant mice
Authors: C.A. Gon�§alves, N.L. Silva, M.O. Mauro, N. David, A.L. Cunha-Laura, S.A. Auharek, A.C.D. Monreal, M.C. Vieira, D.B. Silva, F.J.L. Santos, J.M. Siqueira and R.J. Oliveira
Plants such as Annona nutans used in folk medicine have a large number of biologically active compounds with pharmacological and/or toxic potential. Moreover, pregnant women use these plants indiscriminately, mainly in the form of teas, without being aware of the harm that they could cause to the health of the embryo/fetus. Th.. Read More»

Effects of exogenous 5-aminolevulinic acid on PIP1 and NIP aquaporin gene expression in seedlings of cucumber cultivars subjected to salinity stress
Authors: F. Yan, D. Qu, Y.Y. Zhao, X.H. Hu, Z.Y. Zhao, Y. Zhang and Z.R. Zou
Aquaporins play a direct role in plant water relation under salt stress, but the effects of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) on aquaporin gene expression in salt-treated plants remain unknown. This study investigated the potential effects of exogenous ALA (50 mg/dm3) on aquaporin expression levels under salt stress (75 mM NaCl) in .. Read More»

Characterization of allele-specific expression of the X-linked gene MAO-A in trophectoderm cells of bovine embryos produced by somatic cell nuclear transfer
Authors: A.R. Ferreira, L.F.C. Aguiar Filho, R.V. Sousa, R. Sartori and M.M. Franco
Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) may affect epigenetic mechanisms and alter the expression of genes related to embryo development and X chromosome inactivation (XCI). We characterized allele-specific expression of the X-linked gene monoamine oxidase type A (MAO-A) in the trophectoderm (TF) of embryos produced by SCNT. Tota.. Read More»

Protective mechanism of quercetin on acute myocardial infarction in rats
Authors: B. Li M. Yang J.W. Liu G.T. Yin
To investigate the protective mechanism of quercetin on acute myocardial infarction (AMI) rats, an AMI rat model was established by ligating the left coronary anterior descending branch. The rats were randomly divided into the model group and low- and high-dose quercetin groups. The control group comprised sham-operated rats. The rats in the low- and high.. Read More»
