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»

In silico identification and target prediction of micrornas in Sesame (sesamum indicum L.) expressed sequence tags
Authors: Halak Joshi and M. K. Mandavia
Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.), a member of the Pedaliaceae family, is one of the oldest oilseed crops. For its high oil content, it is known as the “queen of oilseeds”. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) represent a class of endogenous non-coding small RNAs that play important roles in multiple biological processes by degrading targ.. Read More»

Two marine sponges-associated cultivable bacteria: Diversity and biological activities
Authors: Fehmida Bibi*, Sana Akhtar Alvi, Abdulmohsin Al-Sofyani, Muhammad Yasir, Eman Ahmed Kensarah and Esam Ibraheem Azhar
Marine sponges harbor diverse bacterial communities. Sponge associated bacteria produce potential secondary metabolites of medical use. Little is known about sponge associated diversity from red sea therefore, we have collected two sponge samples i.e., Pione vastifica and Siphonochalinna siphonella collected from north of red ..
