Effect of miR-29c and miR-129-5p on epithelial-mesenchymal transition in experimental biliary atresia mouse models
Authors: J.Y. Wang, Z.H. Li, M. Ye, Q. Feng, Z.M. Chen, X.S. Ye, Z.G. Wu, B. Wang, L. Liu and J. Yao
Biliary atresia (BA) is a destructive bile duct disease occurring in newborn children within a few weeks after birth. In this study, the effect of miR-29c and miR-129-5p on epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in experimental BA was explored by constructing BA mouse models via Rhesus rotavirus vaccine infection. miR-29c and..

Genomic variability of Pantoea ananatis in maize white spot lesions assessed by AFLP markers
Authors: A.M. Miller, J.E.F. Figueiredo, C.L. Chaves, E.A. Ruas, M.I. Balbi-Pe�±a, N.B. Colauto and L.D. Paccola-Meirelles
Measures to control maize white spot (MWS) caused by Pantoea ananatis are preferentially based on resistant cultivars. A lack of knowledge on the genetic variability of pathogens could interfere with the development and utilization of controlling strategies in this pathosystem. The main goals of this study were to investigate .. Read More»

Genetic variability affecting Exserohilum turcicum resistance in popcorn lines grown under high and low phosphorus conditions
Authors: A.T. Amaral Jr., R.M. Ribeiro, P.H.D. Santos, T.P.S. Poltronieri, J.M.S. Vivas, I.F.S. Gerhardt, B.M. Carvalho, C.S. Freitas and S.B. Miranda
Northern leaf blight (NLB), caused by Exserohilum turcicum, is one of the main foliar diseases that affect popcorn culture. Farmers use many control measures to minimize damage caused by this disease, among which, the use of cultivars with genetic resistance is the most effective and economical. The aim of this study was to in.. Read More»

Gene expression in the lignin biosynthesis pathway during soybean seed development
Authors: A. Baldoni, E.V.R. Von Pinho, J.S. Fernandes, V.M. Abreu and M.L.M. Carvalho
The study of gene expression in plants is fundamental, and understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in important biological processes, such as biochemical pathways or signaling that are used or manipulated in improvement programs, are key for the production of high-quality soybean seeds. Reports related to gene expression of lignin in seeds are sca.. Read More»

Association between TXNRD1 polymorphisms and anti-tuberculosis drug-induced hepatotoxicity in a prospective study
Authors: G.Y. Ji, Y. Wang, S.Q. Wu, Q.Q. Liu, J.C. Wu, M.M. Zhang, A.J. Sandford and J.Q. He
Anti-tuberculosis drug-induced hepatotoxicity (ATDH) is a serious adverse reaction to anti-tuberculosis (TB) treatment. Thioredoxin reductase 1 (TXNRD1), encoded by the TXNRD1 gene, is an important enzyme involved in oxidant challenge. TXNRD1 plays a key role in regulating cell growth and transformation, and protects cells aga.. Read More»

Segregation and genetic linkage analyses of river catfish, Mystus nemurus, based on microsatellite markers
Authors: B.P. Hoh, S.S. Siraj, S.G. Tan and K. Yusoff
The river catfish Mystus nemurus is an important fresh water species for aquaculture in Malaysia. We report the first genetic linkage map of M. nemurus based on segregation analysis and a linkage map using newly developed microsatellite markers of M. nemurus. A total of 70 of the newly developed polymorphic DNA microsatellite markers were analyzed on pedi.. Read More»

Effects of ginsenoside Rg1 on the senescence of vascular smooth muscle cells
Authors: S.G. Li, M.Z. Yan, D. Zhang, M. Ye and J.J. Deng
The development of age-related cardiovascular disease is associated with the senescence of vascular cells. This study aimed to investigate the effect of ginsenoside Rg1 on vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) senescence. Primary VSMCs were cultured and divided into control, D-galactose (D-gal), Rg1-L, and Rg1-H groups, which wer.. Read More»

Proposal of a super trait for the optimum selection of popcorn progenies based on path analysis
Authors: A.T. do Amaral J�ºnior, A. dos Santos, I.F.S. Gerhardt, R.N.F. Kurosawa, N.F. Moreira, M.G. Pereira, G. de A. Gravina and F.H. de L. Silva
A challenge faced by popcorn breeding programs is the existence of a negative correlation between the two main traits, popping expansion and yield, which hinders simultaneous gains. The objective of this study was to investigate the use of a new variable or super trait, which favors the reliable selection of superior progenies.. Read More»
