Multi-objective optimization in systematic conservation planning and the representation of genetic variability among populations
Authors: S. Schlottfeldt, M.E.M.T. Walter, A.C.P. L.F. Carvalho, T.N. Soares, M.P.C. Telles, R.D. Loyola and J.A.F. Diniz-Filho
Biodiversity crises have led scientists to develop strategies for achieving conservation goals. The underlying principle of these strategies lies in systematic conservation planning (SCP), in which there are at least 2 conflicting objectives, making it a good candidate for multi-objective optimization. Although SCP is typically applied at the species leve.. Read More»

Differential gene expression in pre-laying and laying period ovaries of Sichuan White geese (Anser cygnoides)
Authors: N. Ding, Q. Han, X.Z. Zhao, Q. Li, J. Li, H.F. Zhang, G.L. Gao,Y. Luo, Y.H. Xie, J. Su and Q.G. Wang
Geese are an economically important poultry species worldwide. Their superior meat production performance and meat quality make them a popular food. However, they are not bred worldwide because their poor laying capacity increases farming costs. To gain a global view of the genes that are differentially expressed between prelaying (P) and laying (L) perio.. Read More»

Identification of smut-responsive genes in sugarcane using cDNA-SRAP
Authors: N. Huang, Y.Y. Zhang, X.H. Xiao, L. Huang, Q.B. Wu, Y.X. Que and L.P. Xu
Sugarcane smut, caused by the fungus Sporisorium scitamineum, is one of the main diseases that affect sugarcane worldwide. In the present study, the cDNA-SRAP technique was used to identify genes that are likely to be involved in the response of sugarcane to S. scitamineum infection. In total, 21 bands with significant differential expression during cDNA-.. Read More»

Development of microsatellite markers for a hard-shelled mussel, Mytilus coruscus, and cross-species transfer
Authors: J.H. Kang, Y.K. Kim, J.Y. Park, E.S. Noh, J.E. Jeong, Y.S. Lee and T.J. Choi
The Korean mussel Mytilus coruscus, an endemic marine bivalve mollusk, is economically important. Its population is currently decreasing due to overexploitation and invasion of a more competitive species, Mytilus galloprovincialis. In this study, microsatellite markers for M. coruscus were developed using a cost-effective pyrosequencing technique. Among t.. Read More»

Development and characterization of novel microsatellite markers for Ginkgo biloba using 454 pyrosequencing
Authors: Q. Zhou, X.X. Wang, M. Xu, F.L. Cao, F.X. Yu and L.A. Xu
As a “living fossil” that is used to understand the evolutionary history of seed plants, Ginkgo biloba is a well-known multipurpose tree with edible seeds, medicinal properties, and ornamental value, but little is known about its genetic diversity. Microsatellite, or simple sequence repeat (SSR), markers have prove.. Read More»

Expression of TNF-�±, VEGF, and MMP-3 mRNAs in synovial tissues and their roles in fibroblast-mediated osteogenesis in ankylosing spondylitis
Authors: K.G. Liu, Q.H. He, J.W. Tan and G.J. Liao
The aim of this study was to explore the mRNA levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), vessel endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) in synovial tissues in ankylosing spondylitis (AS), and to analyze the functions of these proteins in the differentiation of AS synovial tissue fibroblasts into osteoblasts (OB..

Identification of sequence-related amplified polymorphism markers linked to the red leaf trait in ornamental kale (Brassica oleracea L. var. acephala)
Authors: Y.S. Wang, Z.Y. Liu, Y.F. Li, Y. Zhang, X.F. Yang and H. Feng
Artistic diversiform leaf color is an important agronomic trait that affects the market value of ornamental kale. In the present study, genetic analysis showed that a single-dominant gene, Re (red leaf), determines the red leaf trait in ornamental kale. An F2 population consisting of 500 individuals from the cross of a red leaf double-haploid line â.. Read More»

cDNA cloning and characterization of two trehalases from Spodoptera litura (Lepidoptera; Noctuidade)
Authors: Q. Zou, P. Wei, Q. Xu, H.Z. Zheng, B. Tang and S.G. Wang
The oriental leafworm moth, Spodoptera litura, is a major agricultural pest in southeast Asia and nearby Pacific regions. Two distinct trehalases have been identified in insects: soluble trehalase (Treh1) and membrane-bound trehalase (Treh2), although there is currently no information on these genes in S. litura. To characterize the distribution and funct.. Read More»

Inheritance of resistance to Pepper yellow mosaic virus in Capsicum baccatum var. pendulum
Authors: C.S. Bento, R. Rodrigues, L.S.A. Gon�§alves, H.S. Oliveira, M.H. Santos, M.C. Pontes and C.P. Sudr�©
We investigated inheritance of resistance to Pepper yellow mosaic virus (PepYMV) in Capsicum baccatum var. pendulum accessions UENF 1616 (susceptible) crossed with UENF 1732 (resistant). Plants from generations P1, P2, F1, F2, BC1:1, and BC1:2 were inoculated and the symptoms were evaluated for 25 days. Subsequently, an area under the disease progress cur.. Read More»

Sequence analysis of the regulatory region of the TNF-RII gene in Polish Holstein-Friesian cows
Authors: A. Stachura, E. Kaczmarczyk and B. BojarojÃ?Â?-Nosowicz
Tumor necrosis factor receptor type II (TNF-RII) is a surface glycoprotein that can form a complex with TNF-α and participate in the body’s immune response. Functions of TNF-RII are impaired in the pathogenesis of viral diseases. We analyzed sequences in the regulatory region of the TNF-RII gene in cattle. An attempt was also made to identify ..
