Construction of a primary DNA fingerprint database for cotton cultivars
Authors: Y.C. Zhang, M. Kuang, W.H. Yang, H.X. Xu, D.Y. Zhou, Y.Q. Wang, X.A. Feng, C. Su and F. Wang
Forty core primers were used to construct a DNA fingerprint database of 132 cotton species based on multiplex fluorescence detection technology. A high first successful ratio of 99.04% was demonstrated with tetraplex polymerase chain reaction. Forty primer pairs amplified a total of 262 genotypes among 132 species, with an average of 6.55 per primer and v.. Read More»

Population genetic structure of critically endangered salamander (Hynobius amjiensis) in China: recommendations for conservation
Authors: J. Yang, C.S. Chen, S.H. Chen, P. Ding, Z.Y. Fan, Y.W. Lu, L.P. Yu and H.D. Lin
Amji’s salamander (Hynobius amjiensis) is a critically endangered species (IUCN Red List), which is endemic to mainland China. In the present study, five haplotypes were genotyped for the mtDNA cyt b gene in 45 specimens from three populations. Relatively low levels of haplotype diversity (h = 0.524) and nucleotide diver..

G�±q gene promoter polymorphisms and rheumatoid arthritis in the Han Chinese population are not associated
Authors: Y. Li, Y. Wang, Y. He, D. Wang, L. Deng, Y. Du and G. Shi
Mice that lose Gαq from their immune system can spontaneously develop inflammatory arthritis. Gαq expression in the peripheral blood lymphocytes of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients is significantly decreased in comparison to that in healthy individuals, and reduced Gαq expression is closely correlated with RA disease activity. These in.. Read More»

Cloning and polymorphism analysis of the 2-methyl-6-phytyl-1,4-benzoquinol methyltransferase gene (VTE3) in Arachis hypogaea, A. duranensis, and A. ipa�«nsis
Authors: F.Z. Liu, A.Q. Guo and Y.S. Wan
One of the critical enzymes involved in vitamin E biosynthesis in plants is 2-methyl-6-phytyl-1,4-benzoquinol methyltransferase (MPBQ MT). The full-length VTE3 cDNA (designated rVTE3-1 and -2) encoding MPBQ MT and the full-length DNA of VTE3 (designated gVTE3-1 and -2) were isolated from cultivated peanuts (Arachis hypogaea). The full-length DNA of VTE3 (.. Read More»

Mating system patterns of natural populations of Pinus koraiensis along its post-glacial colonization route in northeastern China
Authors: X. Sui,F.J. Feng,D. Zhao,M. Xing,X.Y. Sun,S.J. Han and M.H. Li
To understand the genetic mechanisms underlying the endangerment of Pinus koraiensis, we studied the mating system of 49 families of this species in 3 natural populations along its post-glacial colonization route across ~1500 km in northeastern China using the chloroplast simple sequence repeat technique. We analyzed 11 polymorphic loci with clear and rep.. Read More»

Meta-analysis of microsomal epoxide hydrolase gene polymorphism and the risk of breast carcinoma
Authors: J.H. Zhong,L.Q. Li,X.S. Mo,W.F. Gong,L. Ma,J. Chen and X.-M. You
Carcinogenesis of breast carcinoma is very complicated. Previous studies have suggested conflicting results regarding the association between Tyr113His and His139Arg microsomal epoxide hydrolase (mEH) gene polymorphisms and risk of breast carcinoma. We conducted a meta-analysis to examine the relationship between these polymorphisms and breast carcinoma r.. Read More»

Estrogen receptor 1 PvuII and XbaI polymorphisms and susceptibility to Alzheimer�s disease: a meta-analysis
Authors: Y.H. Lee and G.G. Song
The aim of this study was to explore whether estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) PvuII and XbaI polymorphisms are associated with susceptibility to Alzheimer’s disease (AD). We conducted a meta-analysis of the associations between AD and ESR1 PvuII and XbaI polymorphisms as well as haplotypes of the ESR1 PvuII and XbaI polymorphisms. A total of 1359 patients.. Read More»

Telomere-associated factor expression in replicative senescence of human embryonic lung fibroblasts
Authors: H. Du, L. Yang, X.-Y. Xu, L. Hai, Y.-Q. Han and Y.-X. Shi
The objective of this study was to find the key regulatory molecules in the cell senescence process through observing the expression of telomere-associated factor during the normal cell replicative senescence process. Based on the established cell replicative senescence model, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and western blot analyses were .. Read More»

Ectopic expression of the BoTFL1-like gene of Bambusa oldhamii delays blossoming in Arabidopsis thaliana and rescues the tfl1 mutant phenotype
Authors: H.Y. Zeng, Y.T. Lu, X.M. Yang, Y.H. Xu and X.C. Lin
TERMINAL FLOWER1 (TFL1) homologous genes play major roles in maintaining vegetative growth and inflorescence meristem characteristics in various plant species; however, to date, the function of the bamboo TFL1 homologous gene has not been described. In this study, a TFL1 homologous gene was isolated from Bambusa oldhamii and designated as BoTFL1-like. Phy.. Read More»
