�±-1,3-N-acetylgalactose aminotransferase gene 539G>C mutation leads to the A2B isoform
Authors: J.J. Lin, X.D. Wang and S.Y. Zhu
In this study, the phenotypic identification and molecular mechanism of one case of an A2B subtype pedigree was investigated. ABO blood groupings were identified by serological methods and sequence amplification was performed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using TA cloning and DNA sequencing analysis to identify the pedigr..

Genome-wide identification and expression profiling of the fatty acid desaturase gene family in the silkworm, Bombyx mori
Authors: Q.M. Chen, D.J. Cheng, S.P. Liu, Z.G. Ma, X. Tan and P. Zhao
Fatty acid desaturases exist in all living organisms and play important roles in many different biologic processes, such as fatty acid metabolism, lipid biosynthetic processes, and pheromone biosynthetic processes. Using the available silkworm genome sequence, we identified 14 candidate fatty acid desaturase genes. Eleven gene.. Read More»

Development and characterization of novel transcriptome-derived microsatellites for genetic analysis of persimmon
Authors: C. Luo, Q.L. Zhang and Z.R. Luo
Oriental persimmon (Diospyros kaki Thunb.) (2n = 6x = 90) is a major commercial and deciduous fruit tree that is believed to have originated in China. However, rare transcriptomic and genomic information on persimmon is available. Using Roche 454 sequencing technology, the transcriptome from RNA of the flowers of D. kaki was a.. Read More»

Diversity resistance to Puccinia striiformis f. sp Tritici in rye chromosome arm 1RS expressed in wheat
Authors: M.Y. Yang, T.H. Ren, B.J. Yan, Z. Li and Z.L. Ren
The 1BL.1RS wheat-rye translocation contained in the Russian cultivar Aurora has been the most widespread alien translocation in wheat-breeding programs all over the world. However, following the prevalence of new biotypes of the pathogens, disease-resistance genes in this translocation chromosome have been overcome and consequently they have been elimina.. Read More»

Roles of the bZIP gene family in rice
Authors: Z.G. E, Y.P. Zhang, J.H. Zhou and L. Wang
The basic leucine zipper (bZIP) genes encode transcription factors involved in the regulation of various biological processes. Similar to WRKY, basic helix-loop-helix, and several other groups of proteins, the bZIP proteins form a superfamily of transcription factors that mediate plant stress responses. In this review, we pres.. Read More»

Development and characterization of novel expressed sequence tag-derived simple sequence repeat markers in Hevea brasiliensis (rubber tree)
Authors: Z.W. An, Y.C. Li, Q.L. Zhai, L.L. Xie, Y.H. Zhao, H.S. Huang
Cultivated clones of Hevea brasiliensis have a narrow genetic base. In order to broaden the genetic base, it is first necessary to investigate the genetic diversity of wild populations. Expressed sequence tag-simple sequence repeat (EST-SSR) markers were developed to investigate the genetic diversity of Hevea populations. Four.. Read More»

Evaluation of castor bean genotypes sown in winter and summer at a low altitude
Authors: G.E.M. Lopes, H.D. Vieira and F.L. Partelli
Current demands for the genetic breeding of castor bean include the adaptation of genotypes to low altitudes to expand the potential areas of cultivation. This study was conducted to evaluate the response of different genotypes of castor bean that were sown in winter and summer at a low altitude. The study was conducted in northwestern Rio de Janeiro Stat.. Read More»

Genetic variants of the endothelial NO synthase gene (eNOS) may confer increased risk of sporadic congenital heart disease
Authors: K. Zhou, Y. Wang, W. Peng, J. Sun, Y.M. Qing and X.M. Mo
The endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) enzyme is expressed during the early stages of cardiogenesis and plays an important role in normal heart development. Genetic variations of eNOS G894T have been shown to influence individual susceptibility to some phenotypes of congenital heart disease (CHD) in different populations. We condu.. Read More»

Analysis of sequence diversity through internal transcribed spacers and simple sequence repeats to identify Dendrobium species
Authors: Y.T. Liu, R.K. Chen, S.J. Lin, Y.C. Chen, S.W. Chin, F.C. Chen and C.Y. Lee
The Orchidaceae is one of the largest and most diverse families of flowering plants. The Dendrobium genus has high economic potential as ornamental plants and for medicinal purposes. In addition, the species of this genus are able to produce large crops. However, many Dendrobium varieties are very similar in outward appearance.. Read More»

High-sensitivity cardiac troponin T is a predictor of recurrent acute coronary syndrome in patients with acute myocardial infarction
Authors: S.-C. Sheng, X.-M. Lu, Y. Kang, Y.-P. Du and G.-X. Wang
High-sensitivity cardiac troponin T is a useful tool for diagnosing myocardial ischemia. However, its role in the prognosis of patients with acute myocardial infarction has not been studied. Here, the prognostic value of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T for patients with acute myocardial infarction was investigated. The con.. Read More»
