Phenotypic and molecular characterization of Colletotrichum species associated with anthracnose of banana (Musa spp) in Malaysia
Authors: M.A. Intan Sakinah, I.V. Suzianti and Z. Latiffah
Anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum species is a common postharvest disease of banana fruit. We investigated and identified Colletotrichum species associated with anthracnose in several local banana cultivars based on morphological characteristics and sequencing of ITS regions and of the β-tubulin gene. Thirty-eight Coll.. Read More»

Expression analysis of differentially expressed miRNAs in male and female chicken embryos
Authors: Y.P. Feng, J.F. Chen, P. Huang, X. Wang, J. Wang, X.L. Peng and Y.Z. Gong
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA molecules that play key roles in the regulation of development processes of many tissues and organs at the post-transcriptional level. However, little is known about how they affect chicken gonadal development. We examined the expression of four miRNAs (miR-218, -200b, -196, and -206.. Read More»

Genetic association of catechol-O-methyltransferase val(158)met polymorphism in Saudi schizophrenia patients
Authors: S. Al-Asmary, S. Kadasah, M. Arfin, M. Tariq and A. Al-Asmari
Schizophrenia is a complex neuropsychiatric disorder strongly associated with dopamine dysregulation. Catechol-O-methyl-transferase (COMT) is a candidate gene for schizophrenia that encodes an enzyme involved in the metabolic inactivation of dopamine. The COMT Val158Met polymorphism has been associated with schizophrenia and h.. Read More»

Proteomic response of Moniliophthora perniciosa exposed to pathogenesis-related protein-10 from Theobroma cacao
Authors: F.A.C. Silva1, C.P. Pirovani1, S. Menezes1, C. Pungartnik2, A.S. Santiago1, M.G.C. Costa1, F. Micheli3 and A.S. Gesteira4
TcPR-10, a member of the pathogenesis-related protein 10 family, was identified in EST library of interactions between Theobroma cacao and Moniliophthora perniciosa. TcPR-10 has been shown to have antifungal and ribonuclease activities in vitro. This study aimed to identify proteins that are differentially expressed in M. perniciosa in response to TcPR-10..

Molecular detection of QTL controlling plant height components in a doubled haploid barley population
Authors: X.F. Ren, D.F. Sun, W.B. Dong, G.L. Sun and C.D. Li
Yield losses caused by lodging in barley can be partially controlled by reducing plant height. In order to understand dwarfing mechanisms and efficiently use new dwarf germplasms for a breeding program, it is important to identify QTL of plant height components. QTL analysis was performed for seven plant height component traits using a DH population of 12.. Read More»

Comparison of the sensitivity of strains of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium in the detection of mutagenicity induced by nitroarenes
Authors: C.R. Rainho, S.M. Corr�?ªa, J.L. Mazzei, C.A.F. Aiub and I. Felzenszwalb
The use of strains of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium with different metabolic capacities can indicate the class or classes of compounds present in an environmental sample and enable the diagnosis of the mutagenic activity of these pollutants adsorbed on particulate matter (PM) in the air. In the present study, the sen.. Read More»

Rapid method for DNA extraction from the honey bee Apis mellifera and the parasitic bee mite Varroa destructor using lysis buffer and proteinase K
Authors: M.R.C. Issa1, V.L.C. Figueiredo2, D. De Jong1, C.H. Sakamoto1 and Z.L.P. Sim�?µes2
We developed a rapid method for extraction of DNA from honey bees, Apis mellifera, and from the parasitic bee mite, Varroa destructor. The advantages include fast processing and low toxicity of the substances that are utilized. We used lysis buffer with nonionic detergents to lyse cell walls and proteinase K to digest proteins. We tested whole thorax, tho.. Read More»

Molecular cloning and expression analysis of the ethylene insensitive3 (EIN3) gene in cucumber (Cucumis sativus)
Authors: B.B. Bie, J.S. Pan, H.L. He, X.Q. Yang, J.L. Zhao and R. Cai
The plant gaseous hormone ethylene regulates many aspects of plant growth, development, and responses to the environment. Ethylene insensitive3 (EIN3) is a key transcription factor involved in the ethylene signal transduction pathway. To gain a better understanding of this particular pathway in cucumber, the full-length cDNA encoding EIN3 (designated as C.. Read More»

Association of GSTTI and GSTM1 variants with acute myeloid leukemia risk
Authors: Y.M. Zi, S. Wu, D. Ma, C. Yang, M. Yang, Y. Huang and S.J. Yang
We aimed to investigate the relationships between polymorphisms of the glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) GSTM1, GSTTI, and GSTP1 and the risk of developing acute myeloid leukemia (AML). A total of 206 AML cases and 231 controls were collected for our study. The genotyping of GSTs (GSTM1, GSTTI, and GSTP1) was based upon the du.. Read More»
