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 ..

Sub-lethal doses of neonicotinoid and carbamate insecticides reduce the lifespan and alter the expression of immune health and detoxification related genes of honey bees (Apis mellifera)
Authors: Hassan Tarek, Mollah Md. Hamiduzzaman, Nuria Morfin and Ernesto Guzman-Novoa
Honey bees (Apis mellifera) are exposed to sublethal doses of insecticides, but little is known about insecticide effects on their survivorship associated to health-related gene expression. To test the effect of sublethal doses of clothianidin, imidacloprid and carbaryl on the lifespan and health of honey bees, workers were or.. Read More»

Resistance to Helicoverpa armigera mediated by zingiberene and glandular trichomes in tomatoes for industrial processing
Authors: J.F. J�ºnior, J.T.V. Resende, A.A. da Silva, A. Gabriel, A.R. Zeist*, R. Favaro, D.A. Nascimento, R.A. Zeist and C.K. Camargo
The Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) is a recent pest in Brazil, causing losses in tomato production in the Espírito Santo and Goiás states, in Brazil. A promising alternative to control this insect pest is the development of resistent tomato varieties. The breeding programs have aimed to introduce alleles of r.. Read More»

Preliminary analysis on the developmental transcriptomes of swallowtail butterfly Papilio polytes (Lepidoptera: Papilioidae)
Authors: Shun Yao, Yun-liang Wang, Rui-song Tao, Cheng-yong Su, Jia-sheng Hao
The butterflies are one of the insect groups which undergo typical complete metamorphosis in their life history. However, up to now, little is known about the genomic mechanism that regulates the butterfly metamorphosis. In this study, using a swallowtail butterfly P. polytes as a model organism, a high-throughput sequencing p.. Read More»

Phylogenetic analysis and assessment ability of Fusarium isolates for the biodegradation of the pesticide carbofuran
Authors: Abd El-Latif Hesham, Faizah Amer Al-Tihani, Sulaiman A. Alrumman and Ahmed F. El-Bebany
Carbofuran is a pesticide used against insects and nematodes. It is a common environmental pollutant associated with agricultural activities. Carbofuran has harmful effects on target and non-target organisms through the accumulation of acetylcholine at the junction of the nerve cell and the receptor sites system by inhibiting .. Read More»

New tool application in veterinary forensic science to analyze genetic fingerprinting data
Authors: Reale S, Mascali LG, Bonanno , Lupo, Ferina , Vitale
In the last decades legal and other cases in which forensic veterinary science is required are increasing. The principles of investigation follow those used in human beings, although in animal species familial relationship identification is a hard task, due to high level of inbreeding. Familias 3 software is commonly used in h.. Read More»

Marker-Assisted elimination of drought-susceptible accessions in upland rice breeding
Authors: Ariadna Faria Vieira, Gabriel Feresin Pantali�£o, Fernanda Martins Abreu, Ricardo Dias Silveira, Ana Letycia Basso Garcia, Leandro Gomide Neves, Rosana Pereira Vianello, Adriano Pereira Castro, Claudio Brondani
Breeding for water-deficit tolerance is fundamental to guarantee the sustainability of upland rice production, mainly due to the possibility of an increased frequency of drought episodes due to climate change. This work aimed to identify single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers, derived from RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq), genom.. Read More»
