Authors: J. Zepa, L. Silami?·ele, I. Bulina, V. Lavrentjevs, I. Trapina, J. Klovins, D. Andersone, A. Lejnieks and L. Nikitina-Zake
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a potentially disabling form of a systemic chronic inflammatory arthritis affecting mainly the axial skeleton, with or without extraspinal manifestations. The genetic basis of AS is partly known. Moreover, many autoimmunityrelated genes have pleiotropic effects. Multiple functional polymorphisms .. Read More»

Genetic structure and diversity of Senefeldera verticillata (Euphorbiaceae) in semideciduous seasonal forest fragments
Authors: A.A.R. Vieira, A.L. Silva J?ºnior, L.C. Souza, F.D. Miranda, M.F.S. Ferreira and M.V.W. Caldeira
Senefeldera verticillata (Euphorbiaceae) is a species that exclusively occurs in the Atlantic Forest; it is used in the restoration and recovery of degraded areas and has therapeutic uses. Due to the scarcity of information on genetic patterns of this species, genetic diversity was characterized by the use of molecular markers.. Read More»

Effect of the PLAG1 gene polymorphism on oleic acid percentage in Japanese Black cattle populations
Authors: H. Kigoshi, F. Kawaguchi, R. Yasuzumi, K. Oyama, H. Mannen, S. Sasazaki
We investigated the effect of the PLAG1 gene (on bovine chromosome 14) polymorphism on oleic acid percentage (C18:1) in four Japanese Black cattle populations (JB1: n = 900, JB2: n = 560, JB3: n = 456, JB4: n = 450). We genotyped the PLAG1 polymorphism (rs109231213) for four populations and then analyzed the effects on carcass.. Read More»

High precision experimental statistics for the selection of common bean lines that have superior agronomic performance
Authors: N.D. Ribeiro, S. de M. Steckling and H.C. Mezzomo
The identification of a single statistic that allows selection of superior genotypes for several agronomic traits with high experimental precision would be useful for bean breeding programs. We examined correlations between 12 statistics for agronomic traits to determine which would be useful for the selection of common bean l.. Read More»

Detection of sequences related to biosynthesis of antifungal metabolites and identification of a PhzF-like gene in a Pseudomonas rhizobacterium of Piper tuberculatum
Authors: O.S. Silva Jr., N.L.F. Barros, A.S. Siqueira, E.C. Gon?§alves, D. N. Marques, S.P. Reis, and C.R.B. Souza
Our previous studies identified a Pseudomonas putida (Pt12 isolate) associated with roots of Piper tuberculatum Jacq., a Piperaceae occurring in the Amazon region with known resistance to infection by Fusarium solani f. sp. piperis, the causal agent of root rot disease in black pepper (Piper nigrum L.). This Pt12 isolate was a.. Read More»

Genetic and phenotypic association of the carnauba palm tree evaluated by inter-simple sequence repeat and biometric traits
Authors: C.G. Fajardo, R.A.R. Silva, K.P.T. Chagas, F.A. Vieira
The carnauba palm Copernicia prunifera is the third most important non-timber forest species in Brazil; it is mainly known for the production of carnauba wax. We examined intrapopulation genetic diversity and correlated genotypic and phenotypic traits of 28 trees from a coastal location in Rio Grande do Norte state. Phenotypic.. Read More»

Genetic expression of pobA and fabHB in Bacillus licheniformis M2-7 in the presence of benzo[a]pyrene
Authors: Augusto Rojas-Aparicio, Jos?© A. Hern?¡ndez-Eligio, Jeiry Toribio-Jim?©nez, Miguel ?. Rodr?guez-Barrera, Mildred Castellanos-Escamilla and Yanet Romero-Ram?rez
Bacillus licheniformis M2-7 is a heat-resistant bacterium able to biotransform polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. It can transform a wide range of these compounds as naphthalene, phenanthrene, pyrene and benzo[a]pyrene. Benzo[a]pyrene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon of high molecular weight considered as potentially toxic .. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of twenty-three microsatellite loci for the black rockfish, Sebastes schlegelii
Authors: F. Wang, H. B. Jiang, C. H. Han, G. P Cui, C. F. Jia, H.T. Ma
Twenty-three polymorphic microsatellite loci were developed from the black rockfish, Sebastes schlegelii, with an enriched partial genomic library by magnetic beads and polymorphism of these loci was assessed in 32 individuals from a wild population. The loci yielded 2-19 alleles per locus, the observed, expected heterozygosit.. Read More»
