Abstract: Deletion of chromosome 6q is frequent in breast cancer, and the deletion often involves a region in 6q14-q16. At present, however, theunderlying tumor suppressor gene has not been established. Based on a recent study identifying snoRNA U50 as a candidate for the6q14-16 tumor suppressor gene in prost...
Abstract: TaPHT1.2 is a functional, root predominantly expressed and low phosphate (Pi) inducible high-affinity Pi transporter in wheat, whichis more abundant in the roots of P-efficient wheat genotypes (e.g., Xiaoyan 54) than in P-inefficient genotypes (e.g., Jing 411) under bothPi-deficient and Pi-sufficien...
Abstract: Chromosome malsegregation in binucleated lymphocytes is a useful endpoint to evaluate age effect on genetic stability. However, theinvestigations on chromosome malsegregation in binucleated lymphocytes from Chinese are scarce. In this study, peripheral blood lymphocytes were collected from 14 old (6...
Abstract: In the alternative splicing, intron retention, of histamine H3 receptors in rats and mice, the short transcript isoforms that are excised alternatively spliced introns are easily detected in a very low level in rats and are undetectable in mice using the regular PCR protocol. Theretained introns hav...
Abstract: Visual system homeobox-1 (vsx1) is important in retinal progenitor proliferation, differentiation, and function maintenance of bipolarcells in vertebrates. Recent study in Xenopus laevis has shown that vsx1 3′ untranslated region (3′ UTR) can mediate cell-specific translation of vsx1 mRNA in the bip...
Abstract: The genetic diversity of 118 accessions of broomcorn millet (Panicum miliaceum L.), collected from various ecological areas, wasanalyzed. Using 46 SSR (Simple Sequence Repeat) polymorphic markers from rice, wheat, oat and barley, a total of 226 alleles werefound, which exhibited moderate level of di...
Abstract: Non-heading Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris ssp. chinensis Makino) is one of the most important vegetables in eastern China. A genetic linkage map was constructed using 127 doubled haploid (DH) lines, and the DH population was derived from a commercial hybrid “Hanxiao” (lines SW-13 × L-118). Ou...
