Evaluation of cellulolytic activity in insect digestive fluids
Authors: L.-J. Su, H.-F. Zhang, X.-M. Yin, M. Chen, F.-Q. Wang, H. Xie, G.-Z. Zhang and A.-D. Song
Efficient and low-cost cellulolytic enzymes are urgently needed to degrade recalcitrant plant biomass during the industrial production of lignocellulosic biofuels. Here, the cellulolytic activities in the gut fluids of 54 insect species that belong to 7 different taxonomic orders were determined using 2 different substrates, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) ..

Development and characterization of microsatellite loci in a threatened marine fish, Cheilinus undulatus (humphead wrasse)
Authors: J. Hu, X.P. Zhu, J. Luo, S.W. Yin, Y.H. Peng, Y.L. Hu and F. Zhu
Cheilinus undulatus (humphead wrasse) is a marine fish distributed widely throughout the tropical Indo-Pacific. It has been listed as vulnerable in the IUCN Red Data Book and in CITES Appendix II four times. Fifteen microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized for this species. The number of alleles ranged from 3 to 15 per locus, and the observed a.. Read More»

Analysis of the relationship between ribosomal DNA ITS sequences and active components in Rhodiola plants
Authors: D.J. Zhang, W.T. Yuan, M.T. Li and Y.H. Zhang
Rhodiola plants are a valuable resource in traditional Chinese medicine. The objective of this study was to evaluate the correlation between ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences and the three active components in Rhodiola plants. For this, we determined ITS sequence polymorphisms and the concentrations of .. Read More»

Cytogenetic analysis of 4216 patients referred for suspected chromosomal abnormalities in Southeast Turkey
Authors: M. Balkan, H. Akbas, H. Isi, D. Oral, A. Turky�±lmaz, S. Kalkanli, S. Simsek, M. Fidanboy, M.N. Alp, A. Gedik and T. Budak
We reviewed cytogenetic studies performed on 4216 patients who were referred to the Cytogenetics Unit at Dicle University Hospital, Diyarbair, Southeast Turkey, between 2000 and 2009. The cases were grouped according to the reason of referral for cytogenetic analysis. The frequencies of the different types of numerical and str.. Read More»

Transcriptome analysis of peach (Prunus persica L. Batsch) during the late stage of fruit ripening
Authors: H.F. Pan, Y. Sheng, Z.H. Gao, H.L. Chen, Y.J. Qi, X.K. Yi, G.H. Qin and J.Y. Zhang
Fruit ripening is a complex developmental process, the details of which remain largely unknown in fleshy fruits. In this paper, the fruit flesh of two peach varieties, “Zhongyou9” (a nectarine; Prunus persica L. Batsch) and its mutant “Hongyu”, was analyzed by RNA-seq technology during two stages of rip..

Optimization of virus-induced gene silencing in pepper (Capsicum annuum L.)
Authors: J.-E. Wang, D.-W. Li, Z.-H. Gong and Y.-L. Zhang
Virus-induced gene silencing is currently a powerful tool for the study of gene function in plants. Here, we optimized the protocol for virus-induced gene silencing, and investigated factors that affect the efficiency of tobacco rattle virus-induced gene silencing in pepper plants. Consequently, an optimal protocol was obtained by the syringe-infiltration.. Read More»

Understanding bamboo flowering based on large-scale analysis of expressed sequence tags
Authors: X.C. Lin, T.Y. Chow, H.H. Chen, C.C. Liu, S.J. Chou, B.L. Huang, C.I. Kuo, C.K. Wen, L.C. Huang and W. Fang
Unlike other plants, bamboo (Bambusoideae) flowering is an elusive physiological phenomena, because it is unpredictable, long-periodic, gregarious, and uncontrollable; also, bamboo plants usually die after flowering. The flowering mechanism in Arabidopsis thaliana, a eudicot model species, is well established, but it remains u.. Read More»

Heat and chemical stress modulate the expression of the �±-RYR gene in broiler chickens
Authors: I.L. Ziober, F.G. Pai�£o, D.F. Marchi, L.L. Coutinho, E. Binneck, A.L. Nepomuceno and M. Shimokomaki
The biological cause of Pork Stress syndrome, which leads to PSE (pale, soft, exudative) meat, is excessive release of Ca2+ ions, which is promoted by a genetic mutation in the ryanodine receptors (RyR) located in the sarcoplasmic reticulum of the skeletal muscle cells. We examined the relationship between the formation of PSE.. Read More»

Association of novel single nucleotide polymorphisms of the CXCR1 gene with the milk performance traits of Chinese native cattle
Authors: L. Zhou, H.M. Wang, Z.H. Ju, Y. Zhang, J.M. Huang, C. Qi, M.H. Hou, L.G. An, J.F. Zhong and C.F. Wang
Mastitis is an economically devastating disease affecting the dairy industry. Dairy cows with mastitis give reduced milk yield and produce milk that is unfit for consumption. The chemokine receptor CXCR1 is an excellent prospective genetic marker for mastitis resistance in cattle because it regulates neutrophil migration, killing, and survival during infe.. Read More»
