Development of CAPS markers to identify Indian tea (Camellia sinensis) clones with high catechin content
Authors: M. Elangbam and A.K. Misra
Tea leaves are rich in plant secondary phenolics, especially flavonoids. Catechins are considered to be the most valuable flavonoids, and the catechin content in tea is an important trait for determining its quality. We have developed cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (CAPS)-based markers for evaluating total catechin con.. Read More»

Effect of transcription factor ZBTB20 on mouse pituitary development
Authors: Q. Dong, X.Y. Chen and G.M. Li
Pituitary, a critical component in the neuroendocrine system, plays an indispensable role in the regulation of body growth. The transcriptional factor ZBTB20 is widely expressed in brain tissues and participates in hippocampal development; however, the detailed molecular mechanism remains unknown. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the ef.. Read More»

Association between XPG gene polymorphisms and development of gastric cancer risk in a Chinese population
Authors: Y.B. Feng, D.Q. Fan, J. Yu and Y.K. Bie
We conducted a case-control study to investigate the role of three common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group G (XPG) gene (rs2094258, rs751402 and rs17655) in the development of gastric cancer in a Chinese population. Between January 2012 and December 2014, samples from a .. Read More»

Effect of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis alterations on glucose and lipid metabolism in diabetic rats
Authors: M.W. Si, M.K. Yang and X.D. Fu
This study investigated the relationship between alterations in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis function and glucose and lipid metabolism in diabetic rats. To accomplish this a diabetes model was established by jointly administering a long-term high-fat diet plus Streptozotocin (STZ; 50 mg/kg ip). The rats were randomly divided into four gro..

Blue-white screening liquid can eliminate false positives in blue-white colony screening
Authors: Y.S. Zhang
Although blue-white screening based on α-complementation has been widely used in the screening of genetically modified bacteria, only a single blue-white screening is typically not enough to eliminate false positives. Sometimes, a secondary blue-white screening for the target colonies is required. In this study, two meth.. Read More»

Genetic diversity and structure of native and non-native populations of the endangered plant Pinus dabeshanensis
Authors: Z.Y. Zhang, H. Wang, W. Chen, X.M. Pang and Y.Y. Li
Owing to a severe decline in its abundance, Pinus dabeshanensis has been listed as an endangered species by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. Although several restoration events have been undertaken since the 1960s, the natural population genetic structure of this species remains to be investigated. Herei.. Read More»

Association between matrix metallopeptidase 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus coexisting with coronary heart disease in a Han Chinese population
Authors: Y.Z. Ma, Q.Y. Jiang and D.Q. Kong
Matrix metallopeptidase 1 (MMP-1) has been reported to be involved in the coexistence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and coronary heart disease (CHD). We sought to examine the association between the MMP-1 gene polymorphism and coexistence of T2DM and CHD in a Han Chinese population. We extracted genomic DNA from the perip.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of a novel paraffin wax-degrading bacterium, Pseudomonas sp strain PW-1, from petroleum-contaminated sites
Authors: Y.L. Zhang, Z. Liu, and T. Liu
An isolate capable of degrading paraffin wax was isolated from petroleum-contaminated sites in Daqing, China, and identified as Pseudomonas sp strain PW-1 by analyzing the 16S rDNA sequence (GenBank accession No.: KF529529) as well as the biochemical and physiological characteristics. The optimized degradation conditions of th.. Read More»
