Authors: Z.B. Liu, W.J. Zhang, X.D. Gong, Q. Zhang and L.R. Zhou
Superoxide dismutases (SODs) are involved in protecting plants against diverse biotic and abiotic stresses. In the present study, a novel Cu/Zn-SOD gene (JcCu/Zn-SOD) was cloned from Jatropha curcas L. Quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis revealed that JcCu/Zn-SOD is constitutively expressed in different tissues of J. curc.. Read More»

Genetic variability of NaCl tolerance in tomato
Authors: A. Saeed, M.F. Saleem, M. Zakria, S.A. Anjum, A. Shakeel and N. Saeed
Cultivation of crops in soils with high salt (NaCl) content can affect plant development. We examined the morphological and physiological mechanisms of salt tolerance in tomato. The responses of 72 accessions of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) to salinity were compared by measuring shoot and root lengths, and fresh shoot and roo.. Read More»

Molecular cloning and characterization of two novel NAC genes from Mikania micrantha (Asteraceae)
Authors: D.M. Li J.H. Wang S.L. Peng G.F. Zhu F.B. LÃ?Â?
NAC proteins, which are plant-specific transcription factors, have been identified to play important roles in plant response to stresses and in plant development. The full-length cDNAs that encode 2 putative NAC proteins, designated as MmATAF1 and MmNAP, respectively, were cloned from Mikania micrantha by rapid amplification of cDNA ends. The full-length cDN..

Molecular characteristics and expression of calmodulin cDNA from the freshwater pearl mussel, Hyriopsis schlegelii.
Authors: L.-G. Zeng, J.-H. Wang, Y.-J. Li, J.-Q. Sheng, Q. Gu and Y.-J. Hong
Calmodulin (CaM) is a multifunctional intracellular calcium ion receptor protein that participates in a range of cellular processes, including calcium metabolism in mussels. To investigate the role of CaM in freshwater mollusk shell calcium metabolism, the full-length CaM cDNA was isolated from the freshwater pearl mussel, Hyr.. Read More»

Comparative analysis of shell color variety and genetic structure among five high-quality freshwater pearl mussel populations
Authors: L.M. Wu, Z.Y. Bai, X.J. Liu, C. Jin, H. Yin and J.L. Li
Four Hyriopsis cumingii populations, a breeding population (BP), a cultured population (FP), two wild populations from Poyang Lake (PY) and Dongting Lake (DT), and an H. schlegelii population were collected (JX), and the first filial generations (F1) were bred synchronously. The shell nacre polymorphisms, population genetic di.. Read More»

Transferability and characterization of microssatellite loci in Anacardium humile A. St. Hil. (Anacardiaceae)
Authors: T.N. Soares, L.L. Sant�Ana, L.K. de Oliveira, M.P.C. Telles and R.G. Collevatti
Microsatellite markers were transferred from the cashew, Anarcadium occidentale, to Anacardium humile (Anacardiaceae), a Neotropical shrub from the Brazilian savanna, that produces an edible nut and pseudo-fruit. We tested 14 microsatellite primers from A. occidentale on A. humile. Polymorphism of each microsatellite locus was analyzed based on 58 individ.. Read More»
