Knowledge about the origins and evolution of crop species represents an important prerequisite for efficient conservation use existing plant materials. This study was designed to solve ongoing debate on common bean by investigating nucleotide diversity at five gene loci a large sample that entire geographical distribution wild forms this species. Our data clearly indicate Mesoamerican origin bean. They also strongly support occurrence bottleneck during formation Andean pool predates...
Given the susceptibility of tomato plants to pests, aim present study was understand how hormones are involved in formation natural defences against insect herbivory. Tomato hormone mutants, previously introgressed into same genetic background reference, were screened for alterations trichome densities and allelochemical content. Ethylene, gibberellin, auxin mutants indirectly showed alteration density, through effects on epidermal cell area. However, brassinosteroids (BRs) jasmonates (JAs)...
Este trabalho, objetivou avaliar o efeito da aplicação de silício em plantas milho no desenvolvimento lagarta-do-cartucho Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith). O tratamento com consistiu na 3,2 ml solução silicato sódio [25-28% (p/v) SiO2], mais 96,8 água, via solo aos cinco dias, 10, 15, 20 e 25 dias após a emergência mantidas vasos. Outro grupo foi cultivado sem silício. Avaliou-se lagartas alimentadas folhas retiradas tratadas silício, comparação não tratadas, registrando-se mortalidade ao...
Abstract Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) progressively affects the facial, shoulder, and upper arm muscles is associated with contractions of polymorphic D4Z4 repeat array in 4q35. Recently, we demonstrated that FSHD alleles are hypomethylated at D4Z4. To study potential relationships between hypomethylation both residual size clinical severity, compared severity score methylation unrelated patients. Correcting for age examination improves parameter to define provides further...
Together with the knowledge of population structure, a critical aspect for planning association and/or genomics studies is level linkage disequilibrium (LD) that characterizes species and used such an analysis. We have analyzed structure LD in wild domesticated populations Phaseolus vulgaris L. using amplified fragment length polymorphism markers, most which were genetically mapped two recombinant inbred populations. Our results reflect previous occurrence major gene pools P. vulgaris, from...
Multilocus sequence data collected from domesticated and related wild relatives provides a rich source of information on the effect human selection diversity adaptability species to complex environments. To evaluate domestication history common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), multilocus landraces representing various races within Middle American (MA) Andean gene pools was evaluated. Across 13 loci, nucleotide similar between germplasm in both pools. The were evaluated using approximate...
The main aim of this study was to use an amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP)-based, large-scale screening the whole genome Phaseolus vulgaris determine effects selection on structure genetic diversity in wild and domesticated populations.Using pooled DNA samples, seven each populations P. were studied using 2506 AFLP markers (on average, one every 250 kb). About 10 % also analysed individual genotypes used infer allelic frequencies empirically from bulk data. In both data sets,...
The aim of this study was to assess quality life (QoL) and evaluate the occurrence characteristics pain in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) patients. No has yet assessed QoL a large group FSHD patients and, overall, few studies have neuromuscular diseases. We performed prospective using multidimensional protocol including: clinical (according Clinical Severity Scale Rev1); genetic (p13E-11 EcoRI fragments (Short Form-36); (Visual Analog Portenoy-6 questions); depression (Beck...
Abstract Tidal channels are crucial for the functioning of wetlands, though their morphological properties, which relevant seafloor habitats and flow, have been understudied so far. Here, we release a dataset composed Digital Terrain Models (DTMs) extracted from total 2,500 linear kilometres high-resolution multibeam echosounder (MBES) data collected in 2013 covering entire network tidal inlets Venice Lagoon, Italy. The comprises also backscatter (BS) data, reflect acoustic properties...
Proper conservation of plant samples, especially during remote field collection, is essential to assure quality extracted DNA. Tropical species contain considerable amounts secondary compounds, such as polysaccharides, phenols, and latex, which affect DNA extraction. The suitability ethanol (96% v/v) a preservative solution prior extraction was evaluated using leaves Jatropha curcas other tropical species.Total from leaf samples stored in liquid nitrogen or J. (Theobroma cacao, Coffea...
