Polymorphisms of the ATP1A1 gene associated with mastitis in dairy cattle
Authors: Y.X. Liu, C.H. Xu, T.Y. Gao and Y. Sun
Mastitis affects the concentrations of potassium and sodium in milk. Since sodium-potassium adenosine triphosphatase (Na+, K+-ATPase) is critical for maintaining the homeostasis of these two ions, and is involved in cell apoptosis and pathogenesis, we presumed that polymorphism of the ATP1A1 gene, which encodes the bovine Na+,..

Detection of Toxoplasma gondii DNA in naturally infected sheep�s milk
Authors: D. de Santana Rocha, R.L. de Sousa Moura, B.M. Maciel, L.A. Guimar�£es, H.N.S. Oâ��dwyer, A.D. Munhoz and G.R. Albuquerque
The objective of this study was to verify whether Toxoplasma gondii is excreted in the milk of naturally infected sheep. In order to accomplish this, 275 lactating ewes were used; these were bred extensively in 17 estates distributed across nine cities. Polymerase chain reaction amplification was used to detect T. gondii DNA in milk samples, and the indir.. Read More»

Genetic diversity analysis of Bt cotton genotypes in Pakistan using simple sequence repeat markers
Authors: I. Ullah, A. Iram, M.Z. Iqbal, M. Nawaz, S.M. Hasni and S. Jamil
The popularity of genetically modified insect resistant (Bt) cotton has promoted large scale monocultures, which is thought to worsen the problem of crop genetic homogeneity. Information on genetic diversity among Bt cotton varieties is lacking. We evaluated genetic divergence among 19 Bt cotton genotypes using simple sequence.. Read More»

Relationship among physiological quality, heterosis, and amylase gene expression in maize seeds
Authors: G.E. Oliveira, E.V.R. Von Pinho, T. Andrade, J.C. Souza, F. Caixeta and R.A.D.C. Ferreira
In this study, we analyzed heterosis, amylase enzyme gene expression, and the physiological quality of maize seeds with different genotypes and sizes, which were subjected to aging and not subjected to aging. We used seeds from 2 maize lines that differed with regard to physiological quality, the hybrid, and the reciprocal hybrid; they were classified int.. Read More»

Dynamic QTL analysis of protein content and glutamine synthetase activity in recombinant inbred wheat lines
Authors: H.M. Li, H. Liang, Z. Li, Z.X. Tang, S.L. Fu, Y.Y. Geng, B.J. Yan and Z.L. Ren
Protein content (PC) is a crucial factor that determines the end-use and nutritional quality of wheat (Triticum aestivum). Glutamine synthetase (GS), which is a major participant in nitrogen metabolism, can convert inorganic nitrogen into organic nitrogen. Although many studies have been conducted on PC and GS, a dynamic analysis of all of the filling sta.. Read More»

rDNA ITS sequences among morphotypes of Keratell cochlearis, Keratell quadrata and Brachionus forficula (Rotifera)
Authors: Y.L. Ge, Y.L. Xi, J. Ma and D.D. Xu
Morphological variation in rotifers is affected by environmental conditions, making it hard to identify some rotifer taxa. We examined the rDNA ITS sequences of 10 unspined (KCU1-KCU10) and 17 spined (KCS1-KCS17) Keratell cochlearis clones, 26 two-spined (KQT1-KQT26), 18 single-spined (KQS1-KQS18) and 9 unspined (KQU1-KQU9) K...

Isolation of high quality and polysaccharide-free DNA from leaves of Dimorphandra mollis (Leguminosae), a tree from the Brazilian Cerrado
Authors: H.A.V. Souza, L.A.C. Muller, R.L. Brand�£o and M.B. Lovato
Dimorphandra mollis (Leguminosae), known as faveiro and fava d’anta, is a tree that is widely distributed throughout the Brazilian Cerrado (a savanna-like biome). This species is economically valuable and has been extensively exploited because its fruits contain the flavonoid rutin, which is used to produce medications f.. Read More»

Downregulation of microRNA-630 inhibits cell proliferation and invasion and enhances chemosensitivity in human ovarian carcinoma
Authors: Y.T. Zou, J.Y. Gao, H.L. Wang, Y. Wang, H. Wang and P.L. Li
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a family of small non-coding RNAs (approximately 21-23 nt long) that can target genes for either degradation of mRNA or inhibition of translation. miRNAs have not been comprehensively studied in human epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC). MicroRNA-630 (miR-630) has been frequently observed to be aberrantly expressed in various types o.. Read More»
