Authors: A.M. Corr�ªa, P.E. Teodoro, M.C. Gon�§alves, L.M.A. Barroso,M. Nascimento, A. Santos and F.E. Torres
This study used Bayesian inference to investigate the genotype x environment interaction in common bean grown in Mato Grosso do Sul State, and it also evaluated the efficiency of using informative and minimally informative a priori distributions. Six trials were conducted in randomized blocks, and the grain yield of 13 common .. Read More»

Lack of association between paraoxonase-1 Q192R polymorphism and rheumatoid arthritis in southeast Iran
Authors: M. Hashemi, A.K. Moazeni-Roodi, A. Fazaeli, M. Sandoughi, G.R. Bardestani, D.M. Kordi-Tamandani and S. Ghavami
Decreased paraoxonase-1 (PON1) activity has been associated with rheumatoid arthritis. There are two polymorphisms in serum PON1; one differs in the amino acid at position 192 (Q192R) and the other one differs at position 55 (L55M). We looked for a possible association between Q192R polymorphism and rheumatoid arthritis. The Q.. Read More»

Exploration of association between EPHX1 and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease on the basis of combined data mining
Authors: L. An, H. Xia, P. Zhou and L. Hua
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an important respiratory disease with high mortality. Although smoking is the major environmental risk factor for the development of COPD, only 10% of heavy smokers develop symptomatic disease, suggesting association between genetic susceptibilities and environmental influences. ..

SSR-based molecular analysis of economically important Turkish apricot cultivars
Authors: A.E. Akp�±nar, H. Ko�§al, A. Erg�¼l, K. Kazan, M.E. ��elli, M. Bak�±r, ��. Aslanta��, S. Kaymak and R. Sar�±ba��
Turkey is not only the main apricot (Prunus armeniaca) producer and exporter in the world, but it also has a wide variety of apricot germplasms, owing to its close proximity to the centers of apricot origin. However, there is little or no genetic information on many apricot cultivars that are extensively cultivated in Turkey. .. Read More»

Jasmonates are phytohormones with multiple functions, including plant defense and reproduction
Authors: N.C. Avanci, D.D. Luche, G.H. Goldman and M.H.S. Goldman
The plant hormones jasmonic acid and methyl jasmonate, along with their intermediate compounds, produced in the octadecanoid pathway, are important signaling molecules that are collectively called jasmonates. These are widespread in the plant kingdom and play crucial roles in biotic/abiotic stress responses, as well as in proc.. Read More»

Cytotoxic and immunomodulatory effects of Ebenus boissieri Barbey on breast cancer cells
Authors: N. Imir, E. Aydemir E. Simsek, R.S. Gokturk, E. Yesilada and K. Fiskin
We aimed to determine the cytotoxic and immunomodulatory effects of hydroalcoholic extracts of the roots and aerial parts of Ebenus boissieri (EB) on breast cancer MDA-MB231 cells and the non-cancerous human embryonic kidney cell line, 293T. Cell viability was determined by MTT assay, trypan blue exclusion, and Live/Dead Viabi.. Read More»

Genetic diversity analysis of Aspergillus flavus isolates from plants and air by ISSR markers
Authors: M.A. Mahmoud, A.M.A. El-Samawaty, M.A. Yassin and A.R.M. Abd El-Aziz
Aspergillus flavus is one of the most abundant and widely distributed fungi on earth. A. flavus produces aflatoxins (AFs), which are toxic secondary metabolites. AFs have harmful effects on public health (humans and animals) and agricultural crops. Inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers were used to analyze the genetic di.. Read More»

Relationships among lipid peroxidation, SOD enzyme activity, and SOD gene expression profile in Lycopersicum esculentum L. exposed to cold stress
Authors: S. Soydam Aydin, �°. B�¼y�¼k and S. Aras
The current study was designed to evaluate lipid peroxidation (via malondialdehyde) levels, the superoxide dismutase (SOD) gene expression profile, and SOD enzyme activity in tomato plants (Lycopersicum esculentum L.) subjected to different time periods of cold stress (control, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 days). Results revealed that maximum lipid peroxidation occ.. Read More»

Antibacterial activity of leaf extract of Breonadia salicina (Rubiaceae), an endangered medicinal plant of Saudi Arabia
Authors: F. Al-Qurainy, Abdel-Rhman Z. Gaafar, S. Khan, M. Nadeem, M. Tarroum, A. Alaklabi and J. Thomas
Wild plants can contain bioactive compounds with potential activity against disease-causing microorganisms. In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, there are many plant species that may have antibacterial, antifungal, or antiviral activities, among other properties. We extracted bioactive compounds with methanol as well as with water from leaves of Breonadia sali.. Read More»

Analysis of correlations between coronary heart disease and haplotypes of the angiotensin II receptor type 1 (AGTR1) gene
Authors: L.J. Duan and X.D. Wang
This study aimed to explore correlations between haplotypes of the angiotensin II receptor type 1 (AGTR1) gene and coronary heart disease (CHD). In total, 204 patients with CHD and 206 healthy controls were genotyped using denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography between 2008 and 2014. Five polymorphic loci were found.. Read More»
