Bedrohte Saat

····· lezzter Preis 14.80€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Vor etwa 10 000 Jahren begann das älteste Open-Source-Projekt der Menschheit. Samen von Wildpflanzen wurden gesammelt, vermehrt und getauscht, Kulturpflanzen wurden gezüchtet und verbreitet. Das Ergebnis ist ein Reichtum an Sorten, der das bedeutendste kulturelle Erbe der Menschheit darstellt und Grundlage für das Überleben künftiger Generationen bildet. Heute ist das Saatgut die letzte Bastion im Kampf der Agrokonzerne um die weltweite Kommerzialisierung lebensnotwendiger Güter. Ein parasitäres System etabliert sich, das ohne eigene Wirtschaftsleistung Profite von gigantischen Ausmaßen abschöpft und in seiner Gier selbst vor den Ärmsten der Armen nicht Halt macht. Sieben Autoren berichten über die fragwürdigen Methoden, durch wirtschaftlichen Druck und politische Einflussnahme, mit Hilfe neuer Technologien und rechtlicher Fehlentwicklungen die Kontrolle über das Saatgut zu erlangen. Sie verdeutlichen die daraus resultierenden Probleme von globalem Ausmaß aus politisch-ökonomischer, sozialer, kulturhistorischer und ernährungswissenschaftlicher Sicht und berichten von ihren Erfahrungen in der Saatgutzucht und Entwicklungshilfe. ····· 1036154189

Genomic Destabilization at Copy Number Variable Loci in Intersubspecific Hybrids of Mus musculus ssps.

····· lezzter Preis 18.90€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Variation der Kopienzahl von Genen ist eine wichtige Quelle genetischerVariation innerhalb und zwischen Populationen. Die Mutationsmechanismen die zurVariation der Kopienzahl führen, sowie die Prozesse die die Grösse der betreffendenRegionen regulieren sind wenig untersucht. Diese Arbeit behandelt Variation derKopienzahl in X und Y chromosomalen Mitgliedern einer grossen Genfamilie in Musmusculus ssps. Eine dramatisch erhöhte Amplifikation der Kopienzahl inintersubspezifischen Hybriden zwischen M. m. domesticus and M. m. musculus wirdbeschrieben. Dieses Phänomen wird sowohl in natürlichen als auch bei im Laborgezüchteten Hybriden beobachtet. Eine extreme Amplifikation der Kopienzahl, die inHybriden aus der Natur nicht nachgewiesen wird, kann unter Laborbedingungengeneriert werden. Dies legt nahe, dass extreme Destabilisierung der Kopienzahl in derNatur durch Selektion verhindert wird. Spezifische Analysen in Hybridmännchen zeigendas weder meiotische Rekombination oder interchromosomale Austauschprozessebenötigt werden, um Variation in der Kopienzahl zu erzeugen. Damit scheinen besondersIntrachromosomale- (Schwesterchromatid-) Austausche in intersubspezifischenKreuzungen aufzutreten. Belegt wird dies durch eine grössere Anzahl somatischerVariationen in der Kopienzahl in verschiedenen Organen von Hybriden im Vergleich zureinerbigen Mäusen. In Hybriden korreliert dies mit Fehlregulation der DNAReparaturprozesse die Schwesterchromatid Austausche regulieren. Es scheint, das dieStabilität der Kopienenzahl von Genen in reinerbigen Populationen durch Kreuzungenmit Tieren aus anderen Populationen herabgesetzt werden kann, und dass dieser Prozessmit Mutationsprozessen zusammen hängt, die während der Entwicklung ablaufen. DiesesErgebnis eröffnet eine neue Perspektive auf reproduktive Isolation und könnte für denAufbau genetischer Inkompatibilität zwischen Unterarten von Mäusen eine Rolle spielen. ····· 10361192704

La candidosis es la micosis oportunista más frecuente en personas inmunosuprimidas. Producida por hongos levaduriformes del género Candida. Se analizaron aislamientos clínicos de pacientes internados en el Hospital Juárez de México en el periodo de julio de 2009 a mayo de 2010, se identificaron a las especies por métodos fenotípicos (CHROMagar Candida, producción de tubo germinativo, formación de clamidoconidias, pruebas bioquímicas API YEAST 20 C y Auxacolor TM 2) y por métodos moleculares utilizando la amplificación por PCR-RFLP con enzima de restricción Msp1, que permitió identificar eficazmente a las especies: la más frecuente fue C. albicans (80.3 %), seguida de C. tropicales (8.9%), C. glabrata (5.4%) y C. parapsilosis (5.4%). Se analizó la variabilidad genética entre los aislamientos de C. albicans utilizando la amplificación de un microsatélite CAI (CAA), identificando a 11 alelos diferentes que combinados forman 18 genotipos, de los cuales 28% son homocigotos y 72% son heterocigotos. La presencia del mismo genotipo en diferentes aislamientos sugiere que hubo infección intrahospitalaria entre algunos de los pacientes. ····· 103611539

Inmunogenotoxicología de sustancias derivadas de Uncaria tomentosa

Desde siempre el hombre utiliza plantas para el tratamiento de diversos problemas de salud, como afecciones de tipo inflamatorio, inmunológico, genético y el cáncer. Existen componentes en Uncaria tomentosa (Uña de Gato) como el Beta-sitosterol y la Pteropodina que han mostrado algunas propiedades biomédicas que sugieren su participación en las propiedades curativas de esta planta, en particular es indispensable determinar su capacidad para inhibir el daño producido al DNA para considerarlos como candidatos quimiopreventivos y quimioterapéuticos del cáncer entre otras patologías. Así mismo el presente estudio antigenotóxico es el primero que se efectúa in vivo con los compuestos seleccionados y que evaluó si dicha acción se relaciona con la capacidad de los compuestos para atrapar radicales libres, así como por los resultados con el ensayo de antioxidación con DPPH y las pruebas que determinan su efecto inmunoestimulante. Este proyecto por lo tanto, también ayuda a estudiar un probable mecanismo de acción de los compuestos y abre una nueva línea de investigación sobre las bases científicas que expliquen las propiedades biomédicas de Beta-sitosterol y Pteropodina. ····· 103612091

für 26.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
El desarrollo del sistema nervioso es complejo y para su comprensión debe analizarse a nivel celular y molecular, integrando cada evento que involucre la expresión génica. El proceso de neurulación consiste en la formación y cierre del tubo neural, que se lleva a cabo en las primeras etapas de la embriogénesis y es importante estudiar los agentes que participan tanto morfógenos como tóxicos potenciales y aquellos químicos que realizan una función benéfica para dicha formación. En este libro analizamos los procesos básicos del desarrollo embrionario hasta la neurulación y la participación de la serotonina, sus transportadores y receptores como morfógenos durante el desarrollo temprano del sistema nervioso. También se presenta una relación de la participación de las vitaminas liposolubles e hidrosolubles durante la neurulación y finalmente se hace mención del efecto teratógeno de agonistas y antagonistas de los receptores a serotonina. Los conceptos que aquí se presentan son de importancia tanto para los estudiosos de las neurociencias, como para la población general que se interese en los aspectos que deben considerarse para prevenir defectos del tubo neural. ····· 1036121893

En la presente investigación fueron analizados datos de 60 individuos del Género Ilex de las especies de importancia económica, I. paraguariensis (sin. yerba) e I. dumosa, colectados en la EE-INTA Cerro Azul. La extracción de ácidos nucleicos fue realizada con el protocolo propuesto por Doyle y Doyle (1987) modificado por Cavalli-Molina y Gauer (2000). La técnica PCR-RAPD fue utilizada para realizar esta pesquisa. Los cebadores RAPD con mayor número de bandas informativas, investigados anteriormente a este trabajo, fueron empleados. Para analizar los resultados de las reacciones de amplificación, se realizaron electroforesis en geles de agarosa. Dichos geles fueron fotografiados, escaneados y medidas las distancias de migración de las bandas. Las matrices generadas fueron procesadas en diferentes programas informáticos para obtener árboles de agrupamiento. Los Índice de Shannon-Weaver (H ) (1948) y Nei Clásica (1972) y no Sesgada (1978) (GST y D), así como la Diversidad Genética Intrapoblacional también fueron calculados. La magnitud de la información obtenida durante la utilización de la técnica RAPD-PCR dependió del número de individuos bajo análisis. ····· 1036122266

Bases para el estudio de la cromatina en moluscos

····· lezzter Preis 26.10€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
El empaquetamiento del DNA y su accesibilidad en el núcleo celular eucariota están supeditados a la interacción de esta molécula con diferentes tipos de proteínas cromosómicas, siendo las histonas las de mayor relevancia. La importancia de histonas y cromatina en el metabolismo nuclear ha motivado una gran cantidad de estudios en sistemas modelo, principalmente mamíferos, donde la complejidad del metabolismo cromatínico refleja la gran heterogeneidad estructural y funcional de las histonas. Sin embargo, el conocimiento de la dinámica cromatínica en animales protóstomos es todavía muy escaso. Dada la relevancia de este linaje de animales para comprender la evolución de metazoos, además de la presencia de organismos con importancia comercial en dicho grupo, el presente trabajo ha llevado a cabo la caracterización molecular y evolutiva de histonas en un molusco bivalvo de la familia de los pectínidos. Nuestros resultados revelan la presencia de secuencias de histonas conservadas y sometidas a constricciones selectivas tanto a nivel proteico como nucleotídico, probablemente dirigidas a mantener unas propiedades electrostáticas adecuadas para la correcta configuración de la cromatina. ····· 1036122444

El mejoramiento genético es decisivo en el proceso productivo y es una herramienta para aumentar la eficiencia económica de las explotaciones. El objetivo de toda unidad de producción es producir de forma eficiente y con calidad. Aunque las mejoras que se introducen en la alimentación, manejo y sanidad de los animales son imprescindibles, éstas son temporales, es decir se mantienen mientras se realicen, en cambio la mejora genética que se puede introducir es permanente, dado que los genes se trasmiten de generación en generación y el genofondo de las poblaciones es inmortal. Nuestro propósito es apoyar tú labor productiva, mediante información teórica y elementos de reflexión sobre propuestas de mejoramiento genético. Ello orientará el trabajo en los procesos de mejora de tu Unidad de Producción y de transferencia tecnológica. Esperamos que te permita desarrollar capacidades específicas, las que con tu disposición, iniciativa y creatividad coadyuvaran a mejores resultados productivos. ····· 1036124359

Caracterización del ganado bovino sacrificado en Chihuahua, México

El matadero de la ciudad de Chihuahua ocupa el segundo lugar en esta ciudad en sacrificio de bovinos. Debido a la enorme diversidad de bovinos que ahí se sacrifican, sobre todo en características como edad, raza y género, podemos suponer que la calidad de la carne que llega al consumidor chihuahuense es también muy variable. Generalmente el consumidor desconoce las características de la carne que consume, por lo tanto, se considera necesario evaluar la calidad de la carne que llega a las carnicerías de la ciudad para proveer al consumidor de mayor información sobre el origen y la calidad de los alimentos cárnicos disponibles en el mercado local. El objetivo de este trabajo fue caracterizar el ganado que se sacrifica en el matadero municipal de la ciudad de Chihuahua, México. ····· 1036189595

El Virus Papiloma Humano tipo-18 (HPV-18) es uno de los principales responsables del desarrollo de cáncer de cuello de útero. Este virus presenta una prevalencia de 1,1% en la población femenina sana y de 16,5% en cánceres de cuello de útero a nivel mundial y por su importancia clínica ha sido incorporado en la fórmula de las vacunas comerciales. Con el objetivo de contribuir al diseño de nuevas metodologías de detección de HPV-18 se desarrolló una PCR que presentó una especificidad de 1 (IC95% 0,79 1) y una sensibilidad de 0,54 (0,27-0,81). A pesar de su baja sensibilidad para el diagnóstico (valor de referencia: 0,95), la secuenciación del fragmento amplificado permitió un análisis de circulación viral y filogenia. Se identificaron un 86% de variantes genéticas de origen Europeo y un 14% de origen Asiático-Americano. Estos resultados apoyarían la hipótesis de la introducción del virus durante la inmigración europea a la región. Este tipo de análisis representa un salto cualitativo para comprender los procesos de propagación viral a través de las poblaciones humanas. Esta conexión es fundamental para el monitoreo de la infección por HPV en las instancias pre y post-vacunación. ····· 1036190266

La toxicología genética es una ciencia multidisciplinaria cuyo objetivo principal es estudiar las mutaciones inducidas por agentes químicos, físicos y biológicos analizando su interacción con macromoléculas celulares como evento inicial que conlleva a la inestabilidad genética y por ende al desarrollo de enfermedades crónicas como el cáncer. Gracias a los test en toxicología genética se ha logrado identificar, eliminar y modificar la exposición a las genotoxinas. Sin embargo, a pesar de la evidencia científica y del impacto que representan agentes mutagénicos como el humo de leña en la salud pública, pocos estudios se han realizado para reducir su toxicidad por lo tanto, en esta investigación y teniendo en cuenta los efectos antigenotóxicos inducidos por los metabolitos presentes en los extractos vegetales, se evalúo a través del biomarcador de Alteraciones cromosómicas la capacidad antimutagénica del extracto etanólico de la espinaca en linfocitos de sangre periférica de mujeres expuestas al humo de leña demostrando que las plantas con propiedades antioxidantes ejerce protección frente al estrés oxidativo generado por factores endógenos y exógenos. ····· 1036191004

El sargo (Diplodus sargus)es un espárido de gran interés en acuicultura, ya que es un animal muy apreciado y capaz de alcanzar precios en el mercado similares a los de dorada y lubina. Uno de los problemas encontrados al domesticar una especie es la pérdida de variabilidad genética debido a la endogamia. En esta tesis se han investigado las características genéticas de una población capturada en el medio natural y otra procedente de la acuicultura, en base a marcadores mitocondriales (citocromo b y región de control) y nucleares (microsatélites). La población salvaje presentó una alta variabilidad genética. Sin embargo, los individuos procedentes de acuicultura tuvieron una pérdida de variabilidad genética. Estos resultados han provocado una diferenciación entre ambas poblaciones, la capturada en el medio natural y la cultivada. ····· 103611795

La terapia celular de células madre pluripotentes o embrionarias utilizada por la medicina regenerativa es un protocolo recientemente aplicado. Estas células, son derivadas de la masa celular interna (MCI) del estadio de blastocisto y son capaces de diferenciarse en todos los linajes celulares del cuerpo. Ciclofosfamida (CP) es una droga anticancerígena alquilante que, entre otras cosas, provoca como efecto secundario infertilidad. El objetivo de la presente investigación fue revertir dicho efecto negativo, mediante terapia celular, utilizando células de la MCI al diferenciarse in vivo en células madre germinales. Se utilizaron blastocistos de ratones albinos. La MCI fue aislada mediante inmunocirugía y luego trasplantada a los túbulos seminíferos de ratones receptores C57BL, a los que previamente se les disminuyó drásticamente la línea germinal con CP (220mg/kg pc). La evaluación comprobó colonización intraluminal y presencia de minitúbulos (2%) en el 62.5% de los receptor transplantados. Se demostró que las células de la MCI tienen la capacidad de colonizar túbulos seminíferos de ratones adultos de diferentes cepas. ····· 1036122063

La Porfiria Cutánea Tardía (PCT) es un desorden hereditario de la biosíntesis del hemo, causado por la deficiencia de la enzima uroporfirinógeno decarboxilasa (Uro-D). Existen 2 tipos principales: adquirida (PCT-A) la cual representa el 70-80% de los casos y hereditaria (PCT-H), de herencia autosómica dominante y con penetrancia incompleta. Clínicamente presenta hiperpigmentación, ampollas y fragilidad cutánea, etc. Es desencadenada por factores tales como sobrecarga de hierro, hormonas, abuso de alcohol entre otros, que a su vez dependen de factores hereditarios. Existen 61 polimorfismos de nucleótido único (SNP s) descriptos en el gen URO-D, 19 son exónicos. Se ha analizado la frecuencia de tres SNP s, c.1-263TA, c.603AG y IVS6+30GT , en 20 pacientes PCT-H, en 60 pacientes PCT-A y en 60 individuos controles. Solo se encontraron diferencias significativas entre el grupo PCT-A y el grupo control para el SNP c.636+30 GT, el cual se encuentra en un sitio regulador de splicing, ISS, que en presencia de la variante T se convierte en ISE, teniendo como probable consecuencia formación de un transcripto inestable, pudiendo ser un factor de riesgo para los que la portan, (OR=2,7). ····· 1036124077

Ctenomys: Un Modelo de Plasticidad Cromosómica en Mamíferos

für 35.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
El género de roedores subterráneos Ctenomys se ha constituído en el grupo de mamíferos con la mayor variación cromosómica conocida. A través de su distribución, en el sur de la zona Neotropical presenta rangos cromosómicos de:2n=10 a 2n=70 y NF=16 a 84. Esta variación es debida a diferentes tipos de reordenamientos cromosómicos, ocurridos durante la evolución de este género. Sin embargo la mayoría de estos son traslocaciones Robertsonianas que mantienen el orden de los genes en cada brazo cromosómico. Así también la heterocromatina presenta una gran variación tanto en cantidad como en localización. A pesar de esto la cantidad de ADN no varía entre especies con altos o bajos porcentajes de heterocromatina. Esta observación sugiere la ocurrencia de la transformación de eucromatina en heterocromatina. Presentamos datos que apuntan a la ocurrencia de la conversión de eucromatina en heterocromatina. A nivel meiótico este fenómeno junto con la formación de cromocentros en paquiteno donde se unen físicamente bivalentes no homólogos nos plantea un complejo escenario en el análisis de la evolución cromosómica del género Ctenomys. ····· 10361137810

How the immune system reacts to foreign, non-self and endogenous so-calles danger signals is incompletely understood. Danger signals emerge i.e. as a consequence of aberrant overgrowth of tissue, which in turn is often associated with cellular stress and cell death. Tissue that exposes danger signals to the immune system is often referred to as altered self to discriminate it from self, which by definition does not elicit an immune response. The aim of my disseration was to investigate how altered self can activate the immune systen in insects. ····· 1036162286

Mungbean (Vigna radiata L.) is one of the important legumes and a well-known economic crop in tropical and subtropical countries. It belongs to the family Leguminosae with diploid chromosome number 2n = 2x = 22. (Smart 1990).and is native to Indo-Burma (Myanmar) region of Asia. The primary gene center of diversity for mungbean was suggested to be the central Asian region (Vavilov, 1951) with India as the gene center and probable center of domestication (Smartt, 1985).So India is considered as its land of origin (Loh and Stacey, 2003). It has several synonyms like greengram, moong, goldengram, oregon pea, chickasono pea, chickasaw pea and chiroko It is short-stature, less than 1.25 m, depending on the variety and growing conditions (Watt et al. 1977). It is a pulse or food legume crop used primarily as dried seed and occasionally as forage or green pods and seeds for vegetables (Lawn 1995). On a dry-weight basis it contains 25 to 28% protein, 1.0 to 1.5% fats, 3.5 to 4.5% fiber, 4.5 to 5.5% ash and 60 to 65% carbohydrate (Lawn and Ahn, 1985). ····· 10361245

Drought is the most common adverse environmental condition that can seriously reduce crop productivity. Increasing crop resistance to drought stress would be the most economical approach to improve agricultural productivity and to reduce agricultural use of fresh water resources. As a result, understanding the drought tolerance and breeding for drought resistant crop plants has been the major goal of plant breeders. Sorghum is well-known for its capacity to tolerate conditions of limited moisture and to produce during periods of extended drought. Twenty sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) genotypes with known drought tolerance traits were used in this study. The present study will be conducted to evaluate the genetic variability for drought tolerance in sorghum genotypes at molecular level. ····· 10361771

Callus Culture

Drought is one of the complex environmental factors affecting growth and yield of sorghum in arid and semi-arid areas of the world. Developing crops that have the mechanism to cope with such drought prone production environments is vital. Callus culture is a novel approach addressing cultured cells as selection units independent of whole plant. In vitro culture of plant cells and tissue has attracted considerable interest over recent years because it provides the means to study plant physiological aspects and genetic processes in addition to offering the potential to assist in the breeding of improved cultivars by increasing genetic variability.For in vitro drought stress induction, one of the most popular approaches is to use high molecular weight osmotic substances, like polyethylene glycol (PEG). This book, therefore, provides a new perspective of efficient and rapid screening method with special emphasis to callusing, callus growth, plant regeneration and growth performance of in vitro regenerated plantlets of sorghum genotypes under induced drought conditions. ····· 10361840

The objectives of the study were to estimate the extent of genetic variability for yield and yield related agronomic traits and to estimate heritability in broad sense and expected genetic advance due to selection among the forty nine cowpea accessions analysis of variance using triple lattice design revealed that there was statistically significant difference among the forty nine accessions for all the traits studied. High phenotypic coefficient of variation (PVC) was recorded for number of pod per plant, yield per plant, seed yield (kg/ha), plant height. Similarly, high genotypic coefficient of variation (GVC) was observed for 100-seed weight, plant height, number of pods per plant, yield per plant, pod length and seed yield. High heritability coupled with high expected genetic advance was estimated for days to 50% flowering moderate heritability values coupled with relatively higher genetic advance were observed for seed yield and plant height. This indicates that these traits could be improved through selection. ····· 103611152

Harmful algal blooms (HABs), for which the causative organism is Pyrodinium bahamense var. compressum, are a frequent phenomenon in the coastal waters of tropical regions. The species produces a paralytic shellfish toxin which has been linked to neurological symptoms and human fatalities. The identification of the causal species Pyrodinium bahamense var. compressum in field samples is difficult because the bloom does not discolor the water and the species occur in low cell densities. Identification and enumeration of the harmful algae using light microscopy is time-consuming and tedious when detecting the target species among the complex natural communities in the sample. Therefore, development of a DNA probe for specific HAB species can assist in rapid identification, which contributes to the early detection of toxic blooms. ····· 103611202

The oldest documentation of milking dates around 7000 years ago in Lybia`s region. The consumption of cow`s milk was possible only in pastoralist populations such as the European, African, and Middle Easterner. The interest of researching indigenous peoples of the Americas arises not only from the fact that they were isolated for thousands of years from populations with a culture of dairy consumption, but also from the demographic relevance (high reproduction rates) of the impact on mixed-race groups with whom they share their gene pool. The genetic trait of lactose intolerance has been attributed to single nucleotide polymorphisms in Europeans and Africans upstream of the lactase gene (LCT). The main objective of this work was to study the molecular variation associated with lactose intolerance in indigenous groups of Lower Central America and appraise their risk of suffering lactose malabsorption. Awareness of lactose intolerance is especially important among these groups due to the potential impact of changes in diet as a result of the increase in acculturation. ····· 103613333

A set of morphological traits and SSR markers were used to determine the genetic relationship among 12 elite thermosensitive genic male sterile (TGMS) lines developed at three different research institutions of India. Agro-morphological data recorded on 20 morphological traits revealed a wide base of genetic variation and a set of four morphological traits could distinguish most of the TGMS lines. Analysis with 30 SSR markers (20 EST-SSRs and 10 genomic SSRs) revealed 27 markers to be polymorphic, amplifying a total of 83 alleles. Each SSR marker amplified 2 6 alleles with an average of 2.76 alleles per marker and a PIC value varying from 0.54 to 0.96. Cluster analysis based on SSR and morphological data clearly differentiated the lines according to their source of origin. Correlation analysis between morphological and molecular data revealed a very poor association (r = 0.06), which could be attributed to selection pressure, genetic drift, sampling error and unknown relationship among related lines. ····· 1036118497

The genetic behavior of salt tolerance of Alhagi maurorum `Camel thorn` grown in three different zones in Siwa Oasis has been studied using ecological parameters and morphological, molecular and biochemical markers. The study concluded that camel thorn represents the most homeostatic and tolerant plant under different environmental conditions varying from sand sheets to wet sabkha (Saline soil) and for this it has some morphological strategies to reduce the surface area and water loss. By finding such specific gene (P5CS), Camel thorn can be used as a donor of this gene for transferring it to any other salinity sensitive plants. At the biochemical levels plants grown in saline soil showed increase in all biochemical markers. This may be due to the rise in gene expression under saline conditions. ····· 1036119334

Mental retardation or intellectual disability affects about 3% of the general population. One half of it is attributed to genetic factors and is therefore inheritable. Genetic basis of mental retardation is poorly understood. However information revealed from the human genome project has enabled to analyze the genetic determinants that have causative role in the onset of the disease. This book provides a compendium of basic information on the genetic factors that lead to this disability, methodology to screen the causative genetic defects and identification of new causative determinates. This information is critically important in the diagnosis and prognosis of mental retardation at an early stage, resulting in better management of the disease, ultimately leading to improvement in life of the affected individuals. The book offers a valuable source of information for the graduate and post graduate students in genetics, biology and medicine. ····· 1036120130

Efficient DNA extraction procedures, as well as accurate DNA amplification, are critical steps involved in the process of successful DNA analysis of skeletal samples. Unfortunately, at present there is not an infallible method to recover DNA from very degraded samples due to variations in DNA yield from bone fragments that may be attributed to heterogeneity within a bones. In this study different types of human bones ranging in age from few months to 90 post mortem years, found in various states of preservation and conserved in different places, were analyzed. We developed a modified silica based spin columns protocol, associated to the typing of conventional Short Tandem Repeats (STRs) and smaller Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) products (Mini-STRs) redesigned by our laboratory by moving forward and reverse primers in close proximity to the STR repeat region. Our modified protocol was successfully employed to extract DNA from long bones of different ages and preservation state. Importantly the use of phenol chloroform consistently increased the amount of DNA that could be extracted from long bones, preventing that waste material interferes with columns or magnetic beads. ····· 1036120644

The nature of structuring phenomena potentially responsible for the diversification of Amazonian fish fauna during the Neogene has been explored through a comparative phylogeography strategy relying on mitochondrial DNA sequences. Six species with contrasted life history traits, and belonging to three representative Amazonian families were sampled with an emphasis in the Upper Madera: Colossoma macropomum, Piaractus brachypomus, Pygocentrus nattereri, Pseudoplatystoma punctifer, P. tigrinum and Cichla pleiozona. At the macroevolutionary scale, the role played by major geomorphological transformations was corroborated. While at the microevolutionary scale most of the inferred populations were found to be far from the migration-drift equilibrium and beard genetic signals of significant demographic transformations. We propose that some specific events may have affected the bulk of the fish fauna of the Upper Madera region (Bolivian Amazon) during the latest part of the Pleistocene. The particular biological nature of the Upper Madera urges the need for conservation studies and science based management policies. ····· 1036121031

The dairy industry relies upon progeny testing and artificial insemination to disseminate superior genes and enhance genetic gains. Animal model evaluations were used to evaluate the accuracy of current selection theory in predicting selection responses when progenies are from high merit parents.Data consisted of proofs of sires. The animal model evaluation accurately predicted a young bull merit. Genetic responses agreed with their expectations in pattern but not in magnitude. Responses were 70 to 85% of potential responses. The odds of a high rank on milk, fat, or protein yield were modeled using logistic regression. Seven factors were significantly associated with a 5% rank for milk yield nine factors for fat yield and eight factors for protein yield. Young bulls own PTA for protein yield increase the odds of a top 5% rank on milk yield. The odds were increased by 52% for milk yield and 27% for fat yield by a 1 kg increase in PTA protein. This book intended for graduate students in animal breeding and breeders provides theoretical quantitative genetics aspects that were verified using US dairy sire proofs from routine genetic evaluations. ····· 1036121288

Assessment of genetic diversity and identification of superior genotypes are the basic objectives of any crop improvement program. Earlier morphological and isozyme markers were used to assess the diversity, but these traits had an environmental influence. The recently developed molecular marker technology has opened up new vistas for the assessment of genetic diversity among genotypes at molecular level. In the present investigation, two multiloci markers viz., RAPD (25 primers), ISSR (11 primers) and one single locus marker viz., SSR (10 primer pairs) were used to assess the genetic diversity among 32 genotypes of pigeonpea, which included 23 cultivars and nine wild relatives. Diversity analysis was done with the help of statistics such as marker index, mean marker index, polymorphism information content, principal component analysis and dendrogram.

Multimillion dollar poultry industry, always face the threats from emerging/ re-emerging poultry diseases. A major element of disease resistance is the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) and has regions i.e. B-F, B-L and B-G. BF2 is a predominantly expressed class I gene. Red jungle fowl (RJF) is the sole ancestor of all the present day chicken. The divergence between RJF and domestic chicken is presumed to have originated some 8000 years back. During the 8000 years, the chicken genome has undergone tremendous changes due to intentional selection. There is a general consensus among the animal breeders that many traits/alleles, especially related to adaptability are lost during intense selection. Hence, comparative genomic studies of the RJF and its present day domesticated descendents would answer many of these apprehensions on unequivocal terms. Hence, our aim is to characterize the BF2 gene in RJF. ····· 1036125800

Male sterility is the failure of the male gametes to be produced viable i.e there is no formation of the viable pollen grains which carry the male gametes in plants. The pollen grain is non-functional but the female gametes function normally. It occurs in nature sporadically, perhaps due to mutation. Male sterility is also due to environmental factors. Male sterility in crop plants is classified in the following types (1) Genetic Male Sterility (GMS) (2) Cytoplasmic Male Sterility (CGMS). (3) Temperature-Sensitive Genetic Male Sterility (TGMS). (4) Chemically-Induced Male Sterility (CIMS). (5) Photoperiod-Sensitive Genetic Male Sterility (PGMS). (6) Transgenic Genetic Male Seterility (Tr.GMS). Wheat improvement by genetic engineering requires the delivery, integration and expression of defined foreign genes into suitable regenerable explants. Initial attempts at introducing transgenes into wheat employed protoplasts as explants due to the absence of cell walls. Initial steps for genetic transformation involves delivery of a gene cassette into recipient cells followed by analysis of the expression of delivered gene. ····· 1036186905

To test the accuracy of 30-day TIM with 15 and 45-day TIM of milk recording to estimate the lactation yield and to measure the effect of genetic group, parity and season of calving on the accuracy, 1220 lactation records of Friesian x Arsi cows were utilized. The lactation yield was estimated for lactation length of 210-305 days. The accuracy was measured in terms of absolute difference and percentage difference between actual and estimated yield. The study revealed that 15, 30 and 45-day time interval can estimate lactation yield accurately to extent of less than five percent bias irrespective of genetic group and parity. The season of calving significantly (P 0.05) affected the percentage difference in 15-day TIM. The lactation yield estimated by 15-day TIM was more accurate with high R2 value 99.62%. The regression analysis indicated that actual yield of 9th period in 15-day, 5th period in 30-day and 3rd period in 45-day TIM predicted reliable estimate of 305-day yield. Thus 30 and 45-day time interval methods of recording can be used in estimation of lactation yield in crossbred cows irrespective of season of calving and parity. ····· 1036186981

Vigna umbellata (Thunb.) Ohwi and Ohashi commonly known as rice bean or climbing mountain bean is under exploited tropical legume, used as vegetable and fodder. Genetic variation between 10 landraces of rice bean was evaluated using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and inter simple sequence repeats (ISSR) markers. RAPD fingerprinting (70.30 %) detected more polymorphic loci than the ISSR fingerprinting (61.79%). Mean PIC (polymorphic information content) for each of these marker systems (0.243 for RAPD and 0.203 for ISSR) suggested that both the marker systems were equally effective in determining polymorphisms. The dendrograms constructed using RAPD and ISSR marker systems were perfectly correlated with each other as revealed by high Mantel correlation (r=0.95). Pair wise similarity index values ranged from 0.530 to 0.782, 0.608 to 0.862 and 0.559 to 0.777 for RAPD, ISSR and combined RAPD and ISSR data respectively. The cluster analysis grouped the 10 land races into 2 major clusters in both the marker systems.

The Czech Republic has one of the highest incidence rates of colorectal cancer (CRC) worldwide. The vast majority of the CRC cases arises sporadically, with susceptibility determined by genetic factors in interaction with an environment. Cell cycle and DNA repair genes play a fundamental role in CRC development and presents many common variants. In the present study, we genotyped common variants in cell cycle and DNA repair genes to assess the influence of genetic variation on the CRC risk, in 614 hospital-based CRC cases and 614 matched controls. Despite a tendency towards a differential distribution of the variant allele frequencies for some cell cycle polymorphisms, none was significantly associated with CRC risk. We observed a differential distribution between cases and controls of major haplotypes arising from the four analysed variants in the TP53 gene. The results from this study suggest that prevalent haplotypes within the TP53 gene may modulate CRC risk. ····· 1036191635

Use of FRR resistant bean cultivars is the most cost-effective and environmentally-friendly control measure. Crosses among four FRR resistant (R) common bean inbred lines: MLB-48-89A, MLB-49-89A, G2333 and G685, and two susceptible cultivars: K20 and Kanyebwa were developed to estimate the number of pyramided FRR resistance genes among the four R lines and determine their effectiveness in improving levels of resistance to FRR in the susceptible (S) bean cultivars and validate SSR PVBR87 marker. The R lines were used to develop a double cross (DC) population. The DC F1 and each R parent were crossed to each of the two S cultivars to form five-parent (FPC) and single crosses (SC), respectively. Developed populations were subjected to Fusarium solani f. sp. phasoeli isolate-3 under screen house conditions. Data was analysed using GenStat. More genes segregated in the R x R DC than in the R x R SC, FPC performed better than the SC, and SSR PVBR87 was significantly associated with FRR resistance. This information is useful to bean breeders in Uganda and elsewhere in the world. ····· 1036198573

Growth, development and yield of soybean are a result of a variety`s genetic potential interacting with environment and farming practices. Experiments were carried out in two locations for determining the resistance of some soybean genotypes to the cotton leaf worm. Beside that, identification of molecular genetic markers linked to insect resistance was also done. An attempt was done to get some new resistant hybrids through execution hybridization between these cultivars. Plant height, numbers of branches and pods per plant and seed yield per plant were decreased significantly by the infestation of cotton leaf worm (Spodoptera littoralis) as compared with soybean plants grown in Giza region (non stressed treatment). The results of SDS-PAGE revealed a total number of 21 bands with molecular weight (MW) ranging form about 319.63 to 15.568 KDa. 5 primers showed specific ISSR markers for cotton leaf worm with 6 positive markers for cotton leaf worm resistance appeared in the resistant genotypes, while 2 negative markers for susceptibility for cotton leaf worm were present in the susceptible genotypes. ····· 1036198732

Litter size is one of the most important traits in overall reproductive efficiency of breeding sows. The triat has low heritability, is measured only in females and is expressed relatively late. Genetic improvement for litter size is possible due to large enough direct additive genetic variance, the availability of records on many relatives and short generation interval. Litter size is affected by many environmental and genetic factors and interaction between them. The goal of this study was to determine covariance functions for litter size i.e. number of piglets born alive using random regression model.

Single strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP) is a technique which is used to detect point mutation in genes. The purpose was to optimize the condition of SSCP for efficient and sensitive mutation detection in Exon 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12. All these Exon were amplified and run on agarose gel to check strong and specific amplification. These samples were then subjected for vertical electrophoresis for SSCP using different conditions of gel concentration, time, temperature and voltage to get maximum separation between single strands. Denaturation was carried out by mixing the samples with denaturant reagents. The length of nucleotide of Exon 4 was much longer than normal, so we amplified the exon 4 into two small parts named as 4a and 4b respectively after its bifurcation. The denaturation reagent consist of 50% 100mM NaOH and 50% Formamide loading buffer, 5 l-10 l sample was loaded in each case. In all the optimized Exons the denaturation was performed at 95°C for 7 minutes in PCR machine. This optimization will prove a valuable help in further study of the Exons of the same gene and other genes for Point Mutation Detection. ····· 10361101028

Mis-folded proteins and their associated aggregates are a contributing factor in some human diseases. In this study we used the protein lysozyme as a model to define aggregation structures under denaturing conditions. We used Rosetta++ protein folding and blind docking software to create in silico models of the protein at denaturing temperatures and subsequently docked them into aggregates. Here we compare those structures and select forms consistent with the fibril structure from the previous papers. The next step is to be able to use the predicted models of the fibrilar forms of denatured lysozyme to help us understand the exact conformation of fibril structures. This will let us confirm the docking interactions during the fibril aggregation process. The ultimate goal is to use the validated denatured structures to model interactions with heat shock proteins during the dis-aggregation process. By using this approach, we can further analyse other molecules to understand and solve the real problem of those diseases. ····· 10361101329

Rice yellow mottle sobemovirus is identified as the most destructive viral disease in lowland and upland rice. In this study, the mode of inheritance of resistance to a prevalent RYMV strain in Uganda was determined for resistant lines (upland NERICAs 8, 11, 12, 13 and Gigante (an O. sativa lowland variety) crossed with susceptible lines (lowland NERICAs 4, 6, 10 and IR64 (an O. sativa lowland variety)) in a full diallel mating design. Segregating F2 progeny were planted in field and screen house in -lattice design and inoculated by standard mechanical procedures. Reciprocal effects were significant (P0.001), GCA effects were significant (P0.001) and larger than SCA effects. The narrow sense coefficient of genetic determination based on genotype means was relatively high in screen house (76%) and field (84%) experiments. These results suggest additive gene effects were more important than non- additive effects, and selecting in F2 or F3 generations can be effective. Significant reciprocal effects implies the need for careful choice of male and female parents in hybridisation programs to achieve RYMV resistance in the offspring. ····· 10361102344

Alzheimer`s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder representing the most common type of dementia in the elderly population. According to the complex genetic model of late- onset, non-familial Alzheimer`s disease, several heterogeneous susceptibility sets of genes may converge on the pathological processes that underlie the disease. Despite decades of intensive research the gene coding for apolipoprotein E is so far the only widely confirmed genetic risk factor for late- onset Alzheimer`s disease. In this book we report the results of association studies investigating candidate gene variants supposed to be involved in Alzheimer`s disease aetiology. Hypotheses regarding the role of the genes in the pathogenic pathways are discussed, taking into account the chromosomal localizations and the functions of the encoded proteins. As a long-term goal, identifying the genetic risk factors would help develop new strategies in the fields of prevention, diagnostics or genetics based pharmacology that can contribute to extend the lifespan and mental health of the elderly. ····· 10361102520

Ensuring food-security has always been the crux of development endeavors in Sub-Saharan Africa. Increasing crop productivity is one of the major thrust areas in this line of action. Haricot bean (common bean) is the most-widely consumed legume world wide. Especially, residents of developing nations depend on it as a major protein source. Nonetheless, increasing yield/productivity is not a cake-walk, as yield is a very complex character influenced by several genes and environmental effects. To this end, determining which characters are highly associated with yield enables the indirect selection of it with higher precision. Moreover, as stable varieties (with nearly constant performances over varying environments) are feasible in the developing world, assessing the stability of genotypes with an appropriate statistical model is quite crucial. This book covers these two, often neglected, albeit, necessary, areas. It can be of higher importance to plant breeders,bean producers, and post-graduate students interested on the subject. ····· 10361102843

In Kenya, management of small ruminants in pastoral production systems involves application of indigenous knowledge pertaining to animal breeds and breeding practices. Characterisation of such indigenous knowledge has so far received little attention. This study was carried out in Marsabit County in Kenya among the Rendille and Gabra communities, and aimed at characterising breeding practices in relation to implementation of community-based breeding programmes. This entailed the determination of animal identification systems, and actual and theoretical pastoral selection practices for breeding bucks and rams. In addition, the factors that bring about the differences between the actual and theoretical selection practices were identified. This study showed that pastoralists have intricate knowledge and approaches in identification of their animals and have deliberate breeding practises. Productive and adaptive traits were found important in the selection of breeding stock. This study provides a framework needed for the development of community-based genetic improvement programmes for small ruminant genetic resources within the constraints of slowly changing pastoral conditions. ····· 10361102915

The genetic diversity of 25 improved varieties and four traditional varieties were characterized using a set of 20 well chosen and polymorphic microsatellite (SSR) primer pairs. The SSR markers used were polymorphic (100.0%) and generated the reliable information about the relatedness of the varieties. High values of polymorphism obtained in the characterization were attributed to hypervariability of the microsatellite markers. Among the popular varieties, the mean genetic similarity of 0.38 was observed indicating the wide diversity of the popular varieties. Cluster analysis based on 87 SSR marker alleles grouped 29 genotypes into two major clusters. The first major cluster comprised 9 genotypes of traditional varieties and early improved varieties. The second major cluster consisted of 20 improved varieties of complex pedigree and several recombination events. Principal component analysis revealed four clusters, out of which one cluster included seven genotypes from rainfed shallow land ecology suggesting the grouping was based on physiological traits.

Most eukaryotic protein-coding genes are split into exons and introns, and introns need to be spliced for the production of mature mRNA by pre-mRNA splicing. Pre-mRNA splicing is very important for eukaryotic gene expression, because it is not only a key step in producing mature mRNA, but can also affect transcription and translation. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between gene expression and splicing efficiency since the relationship has not been studied systematically from a bioinformatic approach. In this thesis research, we focus on the question of how gene expression would constrain the evolution of three principal splicing signals: the donor splice site, the acceptor splice site, and the branchpoint sequence (BPS). ····· 10361114443

An effective identification technique is a requirement for the specific detection of microbes. The diagnostic tests in endodontics for the identification are carried out by utilising the conventional culture techniques. These conventional cultivation techniques are costly and time consuming. The detection is not very specific, which is an obstacle in identifying the main causes of a disease. Molecular detection techniques provide an alternative for culture techniques. Molecular detection techniques are much more accurate and specifically identify the microbes in short time. Most of the microbial phyla are only identified by this technique. This technique has identified microbes that still need to be cultivated. The aim of the project was to devise an efficient molecular detection technique for the detection and identification of the causative agents of the root canal treatment failure.

Sigatoka leaf spot disease limits banana production. Breeding for resistance is the most effective method to control Musa diseases. However, Musa improvement using conventional methods is difficult due to lack of genetic variability, hence biotechnology. Marker-assisted selection is a reliable method to improve disease resistance in Musa. This study was to identify markers that may be linked to Sigatoka leaf spot disease in Musa, using RAPDs and converting such into SCAR. A total of 102 oligonucleotide OPERON primers were used to screen genomic DNA from resistant and susceptible cultivars with only 10.8% polymorphism. Eventually, OPK01 and OPK11 primers in Calcutta 4 were eluted, but only OPK 11 was sequenced and cloned using pGEM-2T vector, resulting to a band size of 4.3 KB, and the development of two SCAR markers. A FASTA search in the Musa database could not identify homologous gene sequences to the PCR fragment. The SCAR marker was used to amplify genomic DNA from the segregating population which could not discriminate between resistant and susceptible samples due to amplification conditions, limited number of primers and absence of tight linkage with the gene of interest. ····· 10361117673

Sorghum farmers in Southern Africa get the lowest grain yield the world over. This is because they use traditional farming practices with minimal inputs on traditional varieties or landraces. Use of hybrid seed was first reported in maize in the 1920s. Hybrid varieties have an advantage of beign uniform and more vigorous. This is due to the heterosis that comes about by crossing genetically divergent parent lines. Heterosis (for any trait)can be summed up as superiority of hybrid offspring over best parent. In this study, a selected set of genotypes is evaluated in the US and Southern Africa to evaluate the level of haterosis for yield and other important agronomic characters of sorghum. The results indicate presence of significant heterosis that can be used by researchers to release new higher yielding sorghum hybrids for the benefit of all sorghum growers in the region.

To widen the genetic basis of uniformity of soybean germplasm, new sources of genetic variation must introduce. To do this, criteria for parental stock selection need to be considered not only by agronomic value, but also from the point of view of their genetic dissimilarity. Therefore, the evaluation of genetic variation in soybean is a very important task not only for population genetics but also for plant breeders. The genetic variation can be analyzed by agronomic and biochemical traits, and molecular marker polymorphisms. Utilization of exotic germplasm for characteristics such as disease resistance or agronomic traits is the ultimate goal of assessing genetic diversity in plant crops including soybean. Particularly, we except to face in future new plant diseases or pests, climatic change due to the greenhouse effect, and so forth. ····· 10361118159

Functional Genetics and Psychiatric Disorders

Drug addiction is a chronic disorder characterized by compulsive drug seeking and taking despite serious negative consequences. Association studies have identified a number of candidate genes harboring variants associated with susceptibility to addiction, but the causative variants frequently remain unknown. A solution to the challenge of identifying causative variants is the thorough characterization of functional genetic polymorphisms and their effects on regulation of candidate genes. I focused on candidate genes for drug addiction (ARRB2, DRD2, and DRD3) and made some novel and significant findings: The effects of two intronic SNPs in the human dopamine receptor D2 (DRD2) gene, previously shown to alter DRD2 alternative splicing, were confirmed in human brain autopsy tissues obtained from a population of cocaine abusers and controls. The same SNPs were significantly associated with cocaine abuse. The results of this study contribute to our understanding of the functional genetic variation in important candidate genes and have the potential to improve the prevention and treatment of drug addiction and other psychiatric disorders. ····· 10361118297

Jute is considered as one of the most important natural fibre of the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Although there has been a decline in the volume of trade, jute is still considered as one of the most important foreign currency earner of many jute growing countries including Bangladesh. The production, quality and yield of this crop are affected by various biotic and abiotic stresses. The higher production and quality jute fibers can be obtained through the development of improved varieties using conventional as well as biotechnological techniques. But conventional breeding technique has not been found suitable in obtaining desired genetic variability in improving present varieties of jute particularly for the development of stress tolerance. Only limited information is available regarding the application of biotechnological methods in case of jute improvement. In this book the two most useful techniques of plant biotechnology such as in vitro regeneration and genetic transformation protocol for cultivated white jute varieties has been reported. ····· 10361118381

The Effect of Mutating the PDZ domains within secreted PDZD2

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
PDZ domains are one of the most common protein-protein interaction domains in human. PDZ domain containing 2 protein (PDZD2) contains 6 PDZ domains and is highly expressed in pancreatic beta cells. It undergoes cleavage in the endoplasmic reticulum to produce a secreted form PDZD2 (sPDZD2) which retains the last two PDZ domains of PDZD2. sPDZD2 is a candidate beta cell regulatory factor. In current study, two mutated forms of sPDZD2 were generated with alterations in the amino acid sequence within the carboxylate-binding loop of one of the two PDZ domains, either at the PDZ5 or at the PDZ6 domain. Current study revealed that both the PDZ5-mutated and PDZ6-mutated sPDZD2 proteins failed to exert the insulinotropic effect that the wildtype sPDZD2 had on INS-1E cells when added exogenously in the culture medium. Both mutant proteins also failed to rescue the silencing action of siRNA on the insulinotropic effect of endogenous PDZD2 in INS-1E cells. These results suggest that intact carboxylate-binding loops of both PDZ5 and PDZ6 domain are crucial for the insulinotropic effect of sPDZD2 exerting on INS-1E cells. ····· 10361118408

Linseed is one of the most important oil seed crops that its demand in the world market is increasing owing to its economic and nutritional values, especially its medicinal values to treat cancer. To meet this demand, the production of the linseed has to be increased in quality and quantity. Since the crop grows mostly in highland areas where rainfall and other factors induce soil acidity, its production is highly affected by it. Though adding lime corrects the soil acidity problem, it is expensive, environmentally unfriendly and in some situations subsoil acidity restricts its benefit. So, crop varieties with better tolerance to acidity have immediate application. Accordingly, sixty-four different linseed genotypes were evaluated by simple lattice design to identify high yielding and adaptable genotypes of linseed on acidic soil (PH = 5.1). Statistical analysis showed marked variations among genotypes for seed and oil yield, indicating acidity tolerance variations among the genotypes. Hence, the author strong believes that crop breeders and farmers engaged in breeding activity would benefit most from the techniques used to screen out the genotypes productive on the acidic soil. ····· 10361131824

Throughout the last four decades breeders aimed their selection strategy in broilers to fast growing in order to compensate for the growing need for meat consumption especially poultry those efforts resulted with decrease in time length for marketing maturity and increase with body weight at marketing. Breeding program based on the DNA level rather than on phenotypes only, had helped to focused on particular genes, and their particular effects on linked traits. The ability to detect true linkage with minimum false positive or false negative associations (Test power) has been the challenge in those breeding program. The lack of concrete knowledge of Test power within experimental population structures had led us to design experimental genetic structures, to evaluate test power in a controlled manner. We established wide genetic base populations by created F2 and backcross populations. These populations were maintained in family structure to allow for linkage disequilibrium state between marker and QTL. We further examine test power in three Single Cross families implementing two genotype approaches Tail Analysis and Selective Genotype. ····· 10361132798

Effect of cropping systems on genetic analysis in blackgram

This book based on empirical research provides comprehensive information on genetic analysis of blackgram under two cropping systems. In fact one of the areas in research on increasing plant productivity in developing countries is the preservation of inherent stability of traditional farming systems. Such farming systems are characterized by small holdings and growing of different crops under mixed and intercropping systems in variance to monocropping employed in large farms in developed countries. This shift in priorities is under standable because a substantial contribution of farm output in developing countries comes from small farms. Without radical alterations, there are remote chances of improving traditional farming systems.One such instance is the intercropping of maize with blackgram as a secondary crop in the mountainous tracts of North-Western India. It has been established by our study that significant progenies x cropping system interaction exists for grain yield and its component traits in blackgram-maize cropping systems. It may help to develop suitable breeding and selection criteria to seek genetic improvement of blackgram where it is intercropped with maize. ····· 10361133302

Parasitism, especially gastrointestinal (GI) nematodes is one of the major problems in sheep throughout the world. The economic loss to the farmers and the industry is substantial in terms of reduced productivity, animal mortality and cost of anthelmintic treatments. Furthermore, the evolution of parasite species resistant to a wide range of currently available anthelmintics has become a major concern for the sheep industry that necessitates the search for alternatives in parasite control measures. The approaches currently under investigation for parasite control, other than anthelmintic treatment are vaccines against nematodes, biological control (nematophagus fungi), breeding for nematode resistance or combination of some or all of them. Breeding for nematode resistance might be one of the economically viable and technically feasible options, because many researchers have already shown that there exists considerable variation within breeds resistant to a wide range of GI nematode species. The genetic parameters of nematode resistance traits and response to selection by incorporating resistance trait in selection index in Texel sheep breed have been discussed in this book. ····· 10361133944

Cadmium is a non essential trace metal, the increasing amount of which can be detrimental to the health. Once the cadmium level is elevated in the blood, it remains high even when its source is depleted. There is a need to remove the metal from the environment so our food, air or water is not contaminated by it. Metallothioneins (MTs) are metal binding proteins that are rich in cysteine residues constituting 30% of the total protein. The thiol groups bind to the metal ions. Different organisms such as bacteria, protozoa and mammals like humans have shown increased production of MTs with increasing amount of Cd2+-ions in the medium. PMCd1 is first gene ever discovered in Paramecium that could produce this MT in response to Cadmium. In this study the PMCd1syn gene has been cloned in pET41a expression vector and expressed in a E.coli BL21-codonplus strain. Since the gene PMCd1 amplified from Paramecium contained 10 stop codons, this gene of 612 bps was synthesized to substitute the stop codons for the Paramecium sp. specific amino acids. The expressed GST tagged PMCd1syn protein has been found to contain 203 amino acids out of which 37 are cysteine residues. ····· 10361135506

Untranslated regions (UTRs) are important regions in genes that are situated at 3 and 5 ends and are involved in the regulation of gene expression. UTRs on 3 end acts as complementary sequences for binding of microRNAs. The length and sequence of UTRs varies from species to species. In this work various conserved motifs in the untranslated regions of the genes have been reported by using software tool. Very little literature is available on the motif studies in the UTRs. This book therefore provides the insight on the presence of motifs with repeated single nucleotide in the 3 and 5 UTRs. Some coding genes were also analyzed for these motifs. These motifs show interesting similarities in different species of the genus Caenorhabditis. This finding could possibly be used in the identification of various organisms of same genus. These investigations could be helpful to scientific community working on non-coding RNAs, genomics and bioinformatics.

Insulin family peptide members have key roles in regulating growth, metabolism, development, reproduction and longevity in vertebrates. Bombyxin, isolated from the silkmoth Bombyx mori, was the first Insulin-like peptide (ILP) identified in insects. Bombyxins have structural similarity to vertebrate insulin and amino acid sequence identity to mammalian ILP. To gain insight into the role of bombyxins, I have analyzed full genome of B. mori and identified five novel family bombyxin genes. Three of these genes have introns at almost same position as the human insulin gene. Temporal and spatial expressions of these genes have been observed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of tissue development. Similar structure, location of intervening intron, and similar expression pattern between bombyxin and insulin genes have provide an important basis to elucidate evolutionary relationship and function of insulin family members in insects.

Governments in North America and Europe have been using patents as a public policy tool to encourage the invention of health-related biotechnologies since the 1980. In recent decades however there has been a number of controversies related to patenting in biotechnology. Commentators are concerned that patents may be having a detrimental effect on innovation of and access to health-related products and processes. While empirical evidence that has been collected to date in relation to these concerns remains inconclusive, the debate may be clarified through the articulation of the rights and responsibilities that are at stake. The scope and content of a human right to healthcare are ultimately society-dependent, but its articulation can clarify whether instrumental property rights granted to inventors are interfering with this right in an unacceptable way. Intellectual property rights in health-related biotechnologies cannot be justified from a theoretical perspective, and so more definitive empirical data elucidating the role that patents play in regards to innovation and dissemination of health- related biotechnology is needed. ····· 10361147228

El crecimiento de la población sumado al número de habitantes con desnutrición, reflejan la necesidad de producir una mayor cantidad de alimentos. En este contexto el trigo constituye la base de la alimentación, proporcionando el 55% de los hidratos de carbono y el 20% de las calorías. Uno de los principales factores afectantes de su rendimiento son las enfermedades fúngicas, siendo en Argentina la roya de la hoja la que causa mayor detrimento. La principal forma de manejo de la enfermedad es la resistencia genética durable, generada por genes de efectos menores y aditivos como el Lr34. El objetivo de este trabajo fue identificar la presencia/ausencia del QTL Lr34 utilizando el marcador molecular ligado scLV34 en una población segregante de 728 genotipos, obteniéndose como resultado que el 31% de los genotipos evaluados eran portadores del QTL de resistencia.

The biopolymer poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a polyester produced by certain bacteria utilizing glucose, corn starch or wastewater nutrients. The characteristics of PHB are similar to those of petroplastic polypropylene. PHB produces transparent film at a melting point higher than 130 degree Celsius that is non toxic and biodegradable without residues, which reduce greenhouse gas emissions considerably. Currently, application of PHB is limited to medical science because of its higher production cost. Microbial biosynthesis of PHB starts with the condensation of two acetyl-CoA molecules into acetoacetyl-CoA, which is subsequently reduced to hydroxybutyryl-CoA. This latter compound is then used as a monomer to polymerize PHB. To explore the possibilities for maximum PHB production, this book has investigated E. coli metabolic regulations by inserting PHB synthetic genes and/or deleting glycolytic pathway genes together with changing their culture condition. Study results from proteomics, transcriptomics, measurement of key enzyme activities and metabolic flux analysis have been interpreted for better understanding of their complex genotype-phenotype relationship. ····· 1036143

The genus Lathyrus is wide spread in adverse environmental conditions. The main constrain of using Lathyrus is the presence of neurotoxin compound (ODAP), which causes Lathyrism for human and animals. To overcome this constrain, genetic resources must be mined for the genes conferring good agronomic traits and less amount of ODAP. Assessment of genetic diversity is the first priority in this context. Great homogeneity was observed in chromosome number of Lathyrus spp. The variation was only in karyptype characters and chromosome size, allowing the differentiation of several accessions. There were variations in seeds weight and protein content between or within species. The small seeds were most frequent in accessions of Lathyrus sativus from Asia and Africa, suggesting the center of origin Indian Subcontinent and Eastern Africa. Electrophoretic analysis showed inter and intra-specific variations. Isoenzymatic analysis revealed that the total alleles of isozymes were 34 genetic diversity was dividing between intera-accessions and inter-accessions and the high level of gene flow revealed could be due to the high percent of out-crossing. ····· 1036121149

After release of first commercial hybrid in 1965, India witnessed a major breakthrough in total grain production and productivity of pearl millet. A large number of hybrids with high productivity potential are now available. However, so far as the grain quality and grain colour is concerned, no headway has been made in this direction. Quality of grain is also a complex character which is determined by genotype but also influenced by the environment. Particularly the environmental conditions during grain filling period affect the grain colour and quality drastically. For breeding white/grey grain coloured hybrids three basic requirements i.e. availability of genetic sources, genetics of grain colour and identification of stable genotypes are the most important ones. Keeping the above points factors into consideration, this book was written describing the genetic mechanisms and nature and magnitude of different types of gene actions involved in the inheritance of grain colour (grey & white) in pearl millet. It also describes the per se performance and stability for yield and its contributing traits in white and grey grain colour hybrids in pearl millet. ····· 1036121476

Cervical cancer (CaCx), caused by human papillomavirus (HPV), is the second most common cancer in women worldwide. Although large numbers of women get HPV-infected only a small fraction develop CaCx pointing to co-factors including host genetics playing a role. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the role of genetic polymorphisms in the cell death pathway genes, Fas, FasL and CASP8 in CaCx, pre-cancers and HPV infection. The genes have also been investigated in herpes simplex virus type-2 (HSV-2) infection, a co-factor for developing CaCx. Another gene involved in macrophage recruitment, CCR2 was also investigated. A case-control approach was used on South African black and mixed-ancestry population. Genotyping of the desired polymorphisms from peripheral blood was achieved using TaqMan assay, PCR-SSP and PCR-RFLP. Results were analysed using R, Stata 9 and Haploview 4.2. We show that genetic polymorphisms in these genes are differentially associated to CaCx, pre-cancers, HPV infection and HSV-2 infection. This is the first study reporting the role of Fas, FasL, CASP8 and CCR2 polymorphisms in CaCx in an African population and a non-HLA host genetic link to HSV-2 infection. ····· 1036124466

Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp) is an important food legume cultivated in many parts of the world covering Asia and Oceania, Middle East, Southern Europe and Central and South America. It constitutes a major source of dietary protein, starch, minerals and vitamins for many poor families especially in Africa. The cowpeas grown in different parts of the world vary widely in seed colour and type, and preferences change from region to region. These varying preferences necessitate the need to develop cowpea varieties with different characteristics as no single variety can be suitable for all regions. The need to have a better understanding of the genetics of pigmentation in cowpea therefore becomes essential. This book presents a holistic approach to the understanding of the genetics of pigmentation in cowpea with a view to elucidating the inheritance pattern of pigmentation in plant, flower and seed. This would be useful to geneticists and breeders in developing suitable strategies for the breeding of cowpea varieties that suit the varying needs of consumers. ····· 1036124907

The study was conducted to draw together for comparative purposes, empirical measures of performance of Kenya Sahiwal crossbred cattle in different production systems. Two livestock productivity modeling approaches of PRY and Gross Margin analysis were applied. The PRY package was used to obtain herd productivity indices based on demographic parameters and produce related input parameters. Gross Margin analysis computed profitability of different enterprises based on the total monetary value of animal products and the total cost per unit animal per year. The increase in productivity of the Kenya Sahiwal crossbred herds demonstrated that genetic effects can be fully exploited in marginal areas of Kenya by systematic use of crossbreeding systems to achieve a cumulative and permanent genetic improvement in growth potential and milk production. It is important that a robust and efficient breeding programme is developed for sustainable increase of productivity of the crossbreds in the low-input productions systems in Kenya and other areas with similar production circumstances. ····· 1036188733

Pigeonpea is an important legume crop of rainfed agriculture system. Despite of concerted research efforts in pigeonpea improvement, stagnated productivity of pigeonpea during last several decades may be accounted to prevalence of various yield constraints and the situation is exacerbated by inadequate availability of genomic resources to undertake any molecular breeding programme. The yield levels remained unchanged despite of high yielding pure varieties released. In this scenario, like many cereal crops the use of hybrid technology in enhancing productivity has a potential. A stable male-sterility system in conjunction with existing natural out-crossing made it possible in pigeonpea. Knowledge of the genetics of male-sterility and fertility restoration behavior of the hybrid systems would have considerable impact on breeding hybrid parents with greater efficiency and it would also permit their rapid back-cross transfer of fertility restoration genes in elite inbred lines. The present study is designed to investigate the genetics of A4 Cytoplasmic-Nuclear Male-Sterility (CMS) system and linking molecular markers with fertility restoration (Fr) in pigeonpea. ····· 1036198718

Recent studies identified the G protein-coupled receptor 30 (Gpr30) as a potential new estrogen receptor. However, this finding remains still controversial and the physiological role of Gpr30 has not been clarified yet. In order to decipher the role of Gpr30 in vivo, we investigated the phenotype of a Gpr30 mutant mouse line, generated by the insertion of a beta-galactosidase-neomycin cassette into the Gpr30 open reading frame, in a primary and a secondary screen. To confirm the phenotype achieved in this first mouse line, a second one, devoid of any selection marker, was analyzed. Altogether the results achieved may contribute to a better understanding of Gpr30 function in vivo, disproving a role of Gpr30 in body weight regulation, suggesting a role in lipid and muscular metabolism, and providing evidence that Gpr30 may not be required for several estrogen-regulated physiological processes. ····· 1036199095

One approach toward understanding adaptation of plants to their environment is to investigate environmental regulation of gene expression. My focus is on the environmental regulation of EARLI1, which is activated by cold and long-day photoperiods in Arabidopsis thaliana. EARLI1 is a putative secreted protein and has motifs found in lipid transfer proteins. Cold activation of EARLI1 is inhibited in the presence of the calcium channel blocker lanthanum chloride or the calcium chelator EGTA. Addition of the calcium ionophore Bay K8644 results in cold-independent activation of EARLI1. The regulation of EARLI1 was reconstituted using promoter::GUS fusions in transgenic plants to determine the minimal DNA fragment that responds to cold shock. A 100bp region between -1183 and -1085 appears to be sufficient to confer low-temperature induction upon a reporter gene, as assayed by northern hybridization. Within this region are two putative Myc and one Myb transcription factor binding sites. This work is useful to plant developmental and molecular biologists interested in understanding the regulation of genes by abiotic factors. ····· 10361115037

This study was conducted in three locations in western Kenya to determine phenotypic and genetic correlations among sugarcane yield and its components estimate broad-sense heritabilities and expected genetic gain for sugarcane yield and quality traits among 13 promising sugarcane clones. Genotype × location (G×L) interactions were significant (p 0.01) for stalk length, stalk weight, sucrose content, fibre content, sugar yield, Brix yield and cane yield. Broad sense heritabilities (h2) were high for stalk diameter (0.928), number of millable cane (0.912), single stalk weight (0.907), number of internodes (0.907) and sucrose content (0.712) indicating that selection for these traits would be effective. Cane yield traits, except number of internodes, had low to moderate genetic correlations (rg = -0.299 to 0.586) with cane yield. Genetic correlation between refractometer Brix and sucrose content was high (rg = 0.998) was high. The study suggests that in the preliminary stages of selection, emphasis should be placed on multi-location testing of clones and selection of stalk weight, number of millable cane, Brix yield and sucrose content to improve cane and sugar yield. ····· 10361118862

Genetic marker is any trait representing genetic differences between individual organisms or species. Generally, they do not represent the target genes themselves but act as signs or flags . Genetic markers that are located in close proximity to genes may be referred to as gene tags`. Such markers themselves do not affect the phenotype of the trait of interest because they are located only near or linked to genes controlling the trait. All genetic markers occupy specific genomic positions within chromosomes(like genes) called loci .There are three major types of genetic markers: morphological(also classical or visible ) markers which themselves are phenotypic traits biochemical markers, which include allelic variants of enzymes called isozymes and DNA(or molecular) markers, which reveal sites of variation in DNA.DNA-based markers offer several advantages over traditional phenotypic and biochemical markers. DNA-based markers are less affected by age, physiological condition of samples and environmental factors. DNA based molecular markers have acted as versatile tools have found their own position in various fields like taxonomy, physiology, embryology,etc. ····· 10361133730

Chromosome Rearrangement Breakpoint Hot Spots in Humans

····· lezzter Preis 59.00€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Chromosomes in humans occasionally break and an exchange, inversion or other more complex rearrangement of the broken pieces can occur. If the breakage causes no damage to essential gene function, and if no overall loss of chromosome material takes place, these rearrangements can remain undetected in healthy carriers. Problems occur when cell division, involving rearranged chromosomes in the germ line, leads to an unbalanced distribution of chromosomal material in the resulting gametes. Depending on how much chromosomal material is involved, the imbalance can cause fertility problems to severe birth defects in the offspring. This book describes a study attempting to identify hot spots for breakage on human chromosomes, in a search for clues to the origin of constitutional chromosome rearrangements. Identifying true hot spots is complicated by ascertainment bias which comes about frequently due to the often severe phenotypic manifestations of chromosome rearrangements. Through accounting for the various sources of bias, a number of candidates for constitutional chromosome rearrangement hot spots are identified. ····· 10361116234

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a complex and chronic disease that ranks fourth as cause of disability worldwide. Thirteen to 14 million adults in the U.S. are believed to have MDD and an estimated 75% attempt suicide making MDD a major public health problem. Recently several genome-wide association (GWA) studies of MDD have been reported however, few GWA studies focus on the analysis for MDD related phenotypes such as neuroticism and age at onset of MDD. The purpose of this study was to determine risk factors for MDD, identify genome-wide genetic variants affecting neuroticism and age at onset as quantitative traits, and detect gender differences influencing neuroticism. This study confirmed previous findings that MDD is associated with an increased prevalence in women (about 43% more compared to men) and is highly heritable among first degree relatives. Several novel genetic loci were identified to be associated with neuroticism and age at onset. Gender differences were found in genetic influence of neuroticism. These findings offer the potential for new insights into the pathogenesis of MDD. ····· 10361132960

Interplay between DNA replication and repair

für 61.20€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
DNA replication complexes assembled at origins of replication are intrinsically highly processive. However, their progression is often hindered by lesions in or on the DNA. There is growing evidence that RNA polymerase stalled itself at a lesion in the template strand is a major obstacle, especially in UV-irradiated cells. The data presented in this book provide information and propose model on how modulation of RNA polymerase activity might enable UV-irradiated cells lacking RuvABC to overcome obstacles caused by the stalling of RNA polymerases at UV-induced DNA lesions. The proposed model for replication restart relies on PriA protein, but does not require RecBCD and thus does not proceed via recombination and Holliday junction resolution or even via processing of a DNA end by RecBCD. However, it does require the UvrABC excision repair pathway and RecG protein. The book describes studies indicating that in rpo cells, replication forks may run directly into lesions in DNA rather than into RNA polymerase stalled at lesions, and that this leads to direct fork rescue without recombination with the aid of SOS induction, which increases excision repair to remove lesions at other sites. ····· 10361455

Protein profiling by SDS PAGE confirmed the presence of proteins unique to mitotic extracts with particular reference to a protein of molecular weight ~ 38 kDa . The study also focused on generating polyclonal antibodies against CHO cytosolic mitotic extract, testing their reactivity and employing them to mediate mitotic inhibition. Inhibition of mitosis was observed in a dose dependent manner. The results of the evaluation of homogeneity of cytosolic protein antigens tested by a combination of precipitation reactions in extracted protein solutions and also in situ whole cells by immunofluorescence confirmed that the reactivity of the antiserum was restricted to protein antigens of cancerous cell lines(CHO, Vero and HeLa) and that extracts from normal cells(lymphocytes) failed to react with the same. ····· 1036119823

Epigenetic Inheritance of DNA Methylation Patterns

····· lezzter Preis 61.20€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Proper inheritance of DNA methylation patterns during cell division is critical for preserving cellular identity and preventing malignant cellular transformation. In humans, DNA methylation patterns are established during development and then maintained through multiple somatic cell divisions by co-operative activity of the de novo and maintenance DNA methyltransferases - DNMT3A/3B and DNMT1, respectively. A key question that remained unresolved is how the de novo DNMT3A/3B enzymes assist in faithful inheritance of methylation patterns in somatic cells while guarding against aberrant de novo DNA methylation. This study revealed a novel self-regulatory inheritance mechanism where DNMT3A/3B remain bound to nucleosomes containing methylated DNA, which stabilizes these proteins and enables faithful propagation of DNA methylation within the methylated domains through cooperative activity of DNMT3A/3B and DNMT1 enzymes. Such a mechanism not only ensures faithful somatic propagation of methylated states but also prevents aberrant de novo methylation by causing degradation of free DNMT3A/3B enzymes. ····· 1036124992

Phylogenetic analysis has shown that E. coli strains fall into four main phylogenetic groups (A, B1, B2,and D). the phylogeny groups of E. coli are distributed into intestinal and extraintestinal. There are three markers used in the phylogenetic analysis of E. coli as follows:- chuA, yjaA, and TspE4.C2. The presence of pathogenicity islands is one of the most indicator of the possession of E. coli of virulence factors. Pathogenicity of E. coli has been correlated with the presence of gene encoding for one or more virulence factors including (adhesins P and S fimbriae), iron acquisition systems (e.g., aerobactin), and toxin (e.g., hemolysin). ····· 1036125423

The advent of DNA marker technology has revolutionized the field of genetics. Although phenotypic or morphological markers and later isozyme (protein) markers have dominated the field of classical genetics for more than a century, the introduction of DNA-based markers during the second half of twentieth century changed the pace and precision of genetic analysis. Plant improvement work which is generally based on the breeding and progeny testing followed by selection of the desired traits, at present could not produce the desired results. Thus, the need arises to have an alternative method for the evaluation of the genetic structure of the plant species. The molecular markers offer alternatives to conventional germplasm improvement techniques. Molecular techniques used to identify genetic variation in plant populations may result in the recognition of new taxa or varieties and at the same time provide the tools for their identification.

Traditional plant breeding techniques, together with chemical, biotechnological approaches, have been extensively used to increase crop yields which are more productive and resistant to diseases and pathogens. However, conventional breeding is a lengthy process. Incorporation of desired gene(s) from foreign source is the prime needs to overcome the bottleneck. Genetic transformation of sugarcane deserve the due research attention for the purpose. Agrobacterium- mediated genetic transformation in differents sugarcane varieties and regeneration of plantlets from transformed explants were discussed. The transformation efficiency in callus, organogenic pre-treated callus and meristematic spindle leaf segments at different infection time by five Agrobacterium strains containing GUS marker gene and Stress resistance genes (CIPK, CBL and Gly1) were explained. PCR based confirmation of GUS reporter gene was done using DNA isolated from plantlets regenerated from transformed explants. Phenotypic expression of resistance genes also explained with the different regeneration medium containing selective stresses. ····· 10361117923

Life without water can not exist and pollution of this vital fluid by heavy metals affects life precisely. They cause heavy mortality when present in lethal concentrations, however, when present in sub-lethal concentrations they exert undesirable alterations in genetic content of a living cell. Aquatic animals can be used as sentinel species for the evaluation of genotoxic potential of chemicals in the environment and their risk to human health. Fishes play a major role in the flow of energy in aquatic ecosystems and constitute an important part of the human diet. They can be used as a very sensitive indicator for the monitoring of environmental mutagens and carcinogens. Present study finds its relevance in the above context by revealing the fact that heavy metal pollutant, viz. Cr, Hg, As and Cu by virtue of their presence in aquatic habitats not only adversely alter physico-chemical profile of water but also damage genetic profile of the fish model, C. punctatus. Thus, posing a threat for the loss of fish diversity, a potent food resource in present circumstances as well as days to come. ····· 10361118506

Advances in medicine in the first part of the last century paved way for the control of diseases due to infection and malnutrition. In the last 50 years, interest has turned increasingly to the study of genetics in relation to medicine. It has been realised that many prevalent diseases are partly determined by genetic factors. This research was focused on the conceptual and empirical analysis of the predominant cancerous and non-cancerous lesions of the digestive system in patients attending a Gastrointestinal tertiary care hospital in the city of Coimbatore in South India. Characteristic and random chromosomal alterations associated with several cancerous and non-cancerous lesions of the Gastrointestinal Tract (GIT) and accessory organs have been identified. Many gastrointestinal diseases are associated with distinct patterns of biochemical shifts. The study portrays the pattern of haemato-biochemical alterations in diseases of the digestive system. The cytogenetic findings may provide important clues and help foresee the potential malignancy of a benign lesion. ····· 10361119195

Toxic heavy metals in air, soil, and water are global problems that are a growing threat to all living kinds in the environment. Exposure to toxic heavy metals can result in cytotoxic, carcinogenic and mutagenic effects. Mutagenesis is an indicative of genetic instability and can be assayed using microsatellite instability (MSI). The aim of the present study is to investigate based on the rat model, the effects of oral acute and sub-chronic doses of four heavy metals (cadmium chloride, lead acetate trihydrate, arsenic trioxide and copper sulphate pentahydrate)on microsatellite instability at D6mit3, D9mit2 and D15Mgh1 loci, which are located in three different common fragile sites (6q21, 9q32-q33 and 15p14, respectively), within rat genome. In the acute and sub-chronic studies, the MSI were observed in the three studied loci and was in the form of addition or deletion of base pair nucleotides. These finding may indicate the sensitivity of microsatellite sequences located at the fragile sites and the sensitivity of the simple sequence repeats (SSRs) assay for the detection of small variations in DNA sequence. ····· 10361131861

Among the broad-leaved temperate forests of the northern hemisphere, Iran s Hyrcanian forests are very particular. The Hyrcanian forest ecosystem is considered to be one of the last remnants of natural deciduous forest in the world. In this area beech survived intense climate and geological changes during the Quaternary, which occurred despite the fact that this area was not covered by ice and therefore was only indirectly influenced by the glaciations. Hyrcanian commercial forests in Iran were nationalized in 1963. Since then, the area has declined significantly from 3.4 to less than 1.3 million ha in 2002. The two main technical reasons for the failure of this system in these forests are unsuitable harvesting methods during the last 40 years and lack of forest protection. There is an urgent need to improve conservation of this tree species through better forest management, with the aim of both genetic resource conservation and high quality timber production. This book provides basic information on gene conservation and management of beech forests, by studying the genetic diversity within and among populations/regions and shed light on the history of beech in Iran. ····· 10361132950

Most of cells in a given body have the same base template of DNA. This fact begs the question: How do different cell types come into existence Years of research have shown that the answer to this question is differential gene expression. Based on innate tendencies, or environmental effects to which a cell or group of cells is subject to, it is able to `turn up` or `turn down` the expression of genes in a systematic manner to yield a phenotype that is amenable to its intended function. In this work, we examine the effects of chromatin on changes in the patterns of gene expression on a multi-cellular scale, and also examine gene expression patterns on the single cell level in an array of different cell types. We take a different approach to the representation of the unique patterns of gene expression found within each of the cell(s) examined, making the identification of a given cell type more facile upon visual examination ····· 10361133801

Epidemiological and genetic studies showed that severity of invasive group A streptococcal (GAS) sepsis is influenced by interactions of genetic factors of both bacteria and host. Systems biology approaches presented shed light on host mechanisms of differential response to invasive GAS sepsis. Using genome-wide association studies, we found association between differential susceptibility to GAS sepsis and quantitative trait loci (QTL) on mouse Chr 2 and X. Genes within these QTLs were prioritized based on bioinformatics and qPCR to explore mechanisms of host differential susceptibility. Collectively, data suggested that prostaglandin and interleukin 1 signaling pathways act as key modulators of a network of genes involved in immune responses to GAS sepsis. In addition, genome-wide transcriptome studies showed that pathways involving activation of interleukin 10 production and signaling are likely to be associated with resistance to infection. Despite differences between mouse and human immune systems, systems biology approaches results using mice corresponded well with results obtained from human studies demonstrating the power of this approach and better translation to humans. ····· 10361146898

Water stress is one of the most significant factors among abiotic stresses that limit performance growth and productivity of crops. Among local hexaploid wheat, Rawal-87 performed well and also indicated lower SSI, TOL and MP values and higher value of YSI under all water stresses and can be considered as a tolerant variety. Bread wheat advanced lines CIM-47 and CIM-50 were the most tolerant genotypes against water stress and also showed lowest SSI,TOL and MP with high YSI values. It may therefore, be concluded that these genotypes have the potential of stress tolerance. Considering the biochemical parameters, minimum MDA contents with higher POD activity has been found in Rawal-87, Chakwal-86 and Pak-81 when stress was imposed at different irrigation levels. CIM-47, CIM-49 and NR-234 showed minimum levels of MDA with increased POD activity under different stress conditions and are considered as tolerant genotypes. Higher sugar contents have been noticed in genotypes CIM-47, CIM-51, NR-234, NR-241 and NR-264. These results led to conclude that higher reducing sugar content in tolerant genotype could be use as a distinguishing parameter. ····· 10361375

Biotechnology, or biotech for short, refers to the application of biological research techniques to develop products and processes using biological systems, living organisms, or derivatives of organisms. Biotech processes have been used for thousands of years, yet the industry we know today is scarcely more than a quarter century old. Bread, cheese and beer all products made from microorganisms have been part of the human diet for 6,000 years. But it was not until the 1970s that scientists began to apply components of these microorganisms at the molecular level to solve human problems in spheres ranging from medicine to agriculture and industry. Due to this breadth of applications, the term biotechnology gradually gave way to the more accurate biotechnologies or a collection of techniques that apply cellular and molecular characteristics and processes to solve human problems. Such techniques are applied at the molecular level and include genetic manipulation, gene transfer, DNA typing and cloning or microorganisms, plants and animals. Biotech products or biologics as they are sometimes called, thus originate from living organisms bacteria, cells or animals. ····· 103613176

Maize is an important cereal crop belonging to family, Poaceae. It is one of the staple food crop and widely cultivated crop throughout the world. It is the only cereal which can be used as food at various stages of its plant development. The potential of heterosis is just beginning to be exploited in developing countries through expansion of hybrid seeds. It has the highest potential of per day carbohydrate productivity. Thus, the father of green revolution, the renowned Nobel Laureate, Dr. Norman E. Borlaug, believes that after the last two decades saw the revolution in rice and wheat, the next few decades will be known as maize era . Shull (1908 and 1911) gave the original concept for production and growing of single cross hybrids. The recent trends even in the developing and under developed countries single cross hybrids are more popular due to their higher yield under favourable environment and uniformity in expression. Hence, there is a greater scope for the exploitation of heterosis through single cross hybrids, than double cross hybrids. ····· 1036125020

The present study has shown the possibility for the production of sugarcane transgenics with red rot resistance. Integration of resistant gene and its stability in the cultivated sugarcane have opened up yet another new method of crop improvement. Through genetic transformation technology it is possible, a variety with high yield and quality which otherwise is lacking in a single character can be improved by the introduction of a specific gene. In India red rot is one of the major fungal disease of sugarcane. Though many varieties with high yield and quality are being developed through conventional methods, due to want of resistance to red rot they could not be released for cultivation. Sugarcane var.

Recent advances in the field of RNA interference (RNAi) have enabled researchers to conduct in depth investigations of gene function using RNAi libraries. Our second-generation shRNA libraries consist of over 200,000 short hairpin RNA constructs targeting over 45,000 human and mouse genes modeled after primary miRNA transcripts. Each hairpin is linked to a unique 60 nucleotide identification sequence, which serves as a barcode and allows us to virtually count the number of cells that contain a specific hairpin in a cell population. Small changes in barcode copy number can be monitored through the use of microarray technology. The barcode can be amplified from a cell`s genomic DNA and fluorescently labeled to produce a probe that is hybridized to a microarray. I applied this RNAi barcode screening method in a screen using a complex mixture of 7500 library hairpins in a p53 isogenic HCT 116 colon cancer cells to identify genes that modify sensitivity to a common chemotherapeutic, doxorubicin. This work illustrates the powerful use of RNAi screens to search for genes that synergize with existing therapeutics, and suggests strategies for genetically informed combination therapies. ····· 10361101218

The domesticated apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.) of the Rosaceae family is one of the most important commercial fruit worldwide. The quality of this pomaceous fruit is crucial to breeders and farmers as it ultimately determines its acceptance for consumption and determines shelf life. The introduction of marker-assisted selection has allowed hastening of traditional breeding. This book reports the first identification of QTLs associated with nine fruit quality traits using a linkage map derived from Golden Delicious` x Dietrich` population. These loci are of great importance for identification of candidate markers and characterization of genes associated with these quality traits that can be further exploited for new cultivar conception. The book also relates the use of proteomics for comprehensive characterisation of the fruit pulp proteome using 2D-PAGE. Through comparative proteomics analysis of high and low firmness fruits, mechanisms linked with fruit firmness were elucidated. The study sheds light on the mechanisms involved with fruit quality by combining proteomic, genomic and phenotypic data and further link crop biotechnology and fruit breeding. ····· 10361103067

Shorttitle: Geographical speciation occurs among geographically separated populations and is a common mechanism of speciation in a wide range of organisms. The use of modern genetic techniques has substantially improved our understanding of the identification and detection of the speciation process. Plasmodium vivax isolates inhabiting the Old World and New World regions so far, were considered to be as two different subspecies or separate species because of the variant transmission phenotypes and differences in nuclear and plastid genetic markers. We explored a panel of novel and known genetic markers to trace the pattern of genetic diversity and evolutionary history of P. vivax in the Indian subcontinent to determine the genetic identity between Old World and New World subtypes. Our genetic markers analysis consistently showed a high degree of genetic identity between the supposedly Old and New World isolates of P. vivax and strongly supports our view of a single species. ····· 10361113238

We constructed two protein-protein interaction networks from proteins involved in Alzheimer s disease. Mapping gene expression data to one of the networks identified the MAPK/ERK pathway and clathrin-mediated receptor endocytosis (CME) as key loci of altered gene expression in Alzheimer s. The MAPK/ERK pathway is a critical component of learning and memory. CME affects production of the amyloid-beta peptide. We then used the network models plus additional data to identify potential non-coding SNPs that could affect gene expression. Three SNPs near the transcription start site of the transferrin gene had minor alleles frequencies that differed in Alzheimer s patients versus controls. We then used systematic perturbations of the networks to model the effects of multiple interacting variants. The networks responded in an unexpected manner to multiple node or edge removals. Node and edges with lesser individual effects rose in importance in the networks as they were degraded. This suggests that Alzheimer s-associated genes could be generated by a more random process than expected, and that proteins that initially appear unimportant may play a more significant role in pathogenesis. ····· 10361114076

Genetic Incompatibility in a Biological System

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
This book describes a detailed study of the genetic incompatibility as represented by the DL system in Physiolus vulgaris. The DL system is an excellent representative of the genetic incompatibility between parents of the same species. Specific hybrids between parents of Phaseolus vulgaris from different origins exhibit reduced root growth plus shoot abnormalities in F1 plants and failed root growth in a certain proportion of F2 plants. The phenomenon is attributed to two semi-dominant alleles at two complementary loci, DL1 and DL2, which are expressed in the roots and the shoots respectively. The study showed physiological and anatomical evidences that the inhibitory action of the causative signal from the DL2 shoot that affects the DL1 root is alleviated by external supply of sugars. The sugar effect is suggested to be of a metabolic nature may be via supplying carbohydrates that are required for the growth as well as generating a signal that can antagonise the inhibitory effect to some extent. The inhibitory signal was extracted from the cotyledons of DL2 shoots and its effect was shown on the DL1 roots, which is thought to be through the phloem. ····· 10361114650

In my Ph.D. thesis, I described a large scale RT-PCR and cloning pipeline that I developed to obtain several thousand full-length mammalian (mainly human and mouse) cDNA clones for the NHGRI/NCI Mammalian Gene Collection effort. At that time, the layers of the mammalian transcriptome complexity were not yet fully conceived. In this project, I was deeply involved in strategic and conceptual issues in characterizing transcriptome complexity from different levels. Using the RT-PCR pipeline combined with gene prediction algorithms that utilize comparative genomic information, we successfully identified and experimentally verified novel mammalian genes such as full-length rat homologs of human disease genes. Furthermore, I studied transcriptome complexity including SNPs and alternative splicing in leukemia samples using quantitative PCR, and we developed a trace analysis technology to identify multiple alternative spliced transcripts in one single sequencing reaction. My results suggested that alternatively spliced transcripts show cancer type specific up- or down- regulation, and the ratio of alternative spliced isoforms may underlie the cancer mechanism. ····· 10361114893

Desde los inicios de la investigación en vacunas antitumorales hemos asistido a un progresivo aumento de la eficacia en los diferentes modelos experimentales, indicando que era plausible su aplicación en la terapia del cáncer. Desafortunadamente, al llegar a la clínica se han encontrado grandes limitaciones, más en el campo terapéutico que en el preventivo, apuntando a la existencia de complejas barreras limitantes fuera de los modelos de laboratorio. Pensamos que el mejor conocimiento de los mecanismos desencadenados por estas vacunas nos permitirá sortear esas barreras. La consecución de este objetivo podría suponer importantes beneficios en los pacientes portadores de tumor. Este trabajo abarca modelos desde los liposomas, lipopoliplejos y proteínas tumorales hasta las vacunas antitumorales basadas en células modificadas genéticamente, mostrando desde el resultado totalmente eficaz en modelos preventivos de melanoma hasta la barrera encontrada en los modelos terapéuticos, donde se intenta comprender parte de los motivos responsables. Hemos querido reunir la experiencia previa con la más reciente, para conseguir añadir un paso más hacia el éxito de la vacunación terapéutica. ····· 10361116645

Despite exhaustive efforts, progress in gene mapping of fibrosing lung diseases has been very slow. In the last 15 or so years, our knowledge of the association of HLA alleles in SSc and sarcoidosis has improved, but the exact mechanism involved remains elusive. Results showed in this thesis indicate that in addition to the HLA, co-stimulatory molecules also play an important role in the pathogenesis of these disorders. There is also evidence that genes involved in trafficking of inflammatory cell to lung are also involved in pathogenesis of SSc and sarcoidosis. In the coming few years, accessory molecules, i.e. co-stimulatory molecules, innate immunity genes and trafficking molecules, are likely to play an even more important role and the acceleration in disease gene discovery will shed new light on the biological pathways involved in the pathogenesis of fibrosing lung diseases. ····· 10361117912

A Comparative Study on Biological Networks

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Biological networks encapsulate invaluable information about the roles of different entities and their interactions with each other. Analyzing these networks is essential to reveal evolutionary differences between different cells and organisms. An important type of analysis is the comparative analysis which aims at identifying functionally similar components of these networks. Analogous to sequence alignment which identifies sequence similarity, network alignment reveals similar connectivity patterns such as alternative paths and subnetworks. Additional to the comparative analysis, examining solely the topological structure led to discovery of the steady states and the modular organization that these networks exhibit. This book introduces (i) Alignment algorithms for metabolic networks that account for heterogeneous network elements, connected subnetwork mappings and the scalability problem (ii) An algorithm that predicts functional similarity between reactions based on metabolic flux analysis (iii) Efficient methods that identify steady states of Boolean regulatory networks (iv) An algorithm that identifies dynamic modular structure of regulatory networks. ····· 10361119292

Introduction to Biochemical Genetics

Genetics is the study of heredity, the process in which a parent passes certain genes onto their children. Biochemical geneticists are confronted with four main problems: the secondary effects of gene differences, e.g. physiological effects the primary action of genes the agencies causing mutation and the biochemical nature of genes and their mode of reproduction. The same problems are involved in the investigation of self reproducing units not attached to the chromosomes, whether or not these units are gene controlled. Biochemical Genetics studies the mechanisms of gene expression control, coordinated regulation of metabolism, and the relationship of the physiological state of cells with the maintenance of genetic stability . Biochemical Genetics accredited since May 1987 and provides a comprehensive program for the diagnosis and biochemical management of patients with inborn errors of metabolism (IEM).

UTILIZATION OF SYNTHETIC HEXAPLOIDS FOR WHEAT IMPROVEMENT: PART I

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Wheat (Triticum aestivum) being an important cereal crop feeds the human population worldwide. Lower genetic diversity in wheat resulted in its vulnerability to multiple biotic and abiotic constraints affecting the yield considerably. To improve its productivity, genetic improvement is needed. In order to enhance its genetic base wild ancestors of wheat have been explored and found valuable to achieve the pressing end. Amphiploids and Synthetic Hexaploids produced through crossing Durum Wheat (2n=4x=28 AABB) and diploid progenitors with A and D genome, respectively, have been recognized as an avenue to harness the wild genetic potential in its progenitors. These synthetics carry novel allelic diversity for key biotic stresses such as fungal and viral diseases. Additionally, abiotic stresses like salinity and drought tolerances are an added attributes. In this work, experiments are presented that focused on the recognition of different potential traits in synthetic Hexaploids to enhance wheat improvement efforts worldwide. ····· 10361119632

Molecular Markers of Resistant Potato Plants for some Potato Viruses

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Potato virus Y Potyviridae and Potato virus X Flexiviridae are one of the most important viruses in Solanaceae. Breeding for virus resistance, a major component of most breeding programs is generally regarded as being the best strategy for long-term virus control. This approach is hampered, however, by the limitation of suitable sources of resistance. In the past, the introgression of genetic sources for plant resistance has been successfully applied to develop a limited number of virus-resistant cultivars. Although plant breeding for virus resistance still has great potential, there are limitations to this conventional approach. Selection of new viral resistant potato cultivars is the key to success in plant breeding programs. The utility of new tools is required to assist the screening and selection of new genotypes resistant to PVY and PVX. The objectives of this study are to develop biochemical and molecular markers for resistance to PVY and PVX and to detect Ryadg and Ryfsto genes conferring extreme resistance to PVY and Rx resistant gene to PVX, as well as sequence alignment analyses of the isolated and sequenced Ry and Rx genes. ····· 10361132076

Investigating the chemotherapeutic mechanism of action of cisplatin

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
The DNA-damaging compound, cisplatin (cis-diammine-dichloridoplatinum (II)), is a highly successful anti-tumour agent widely used in the treatment of a range of human cancers. Despite the clinical efficacy of cisplatin, its curative potential is largely restricted by the occurrence of drug resistance and several dose-limiting toxic side effects. Attempts to ameliorate these deficiencies have met with limited success. However, it is ultimately hoped that such efforts will benefit from a more comprehensive understanding of the mechanism by which cisplatin elicits tumour-specific cytotoxicity. The overall aim of this project was to further elucidate the mechanism of action of cisplatin. For this purpose, different experimental approaches were employed to examine the interaction of cisplatin with DNA, and the drug s effect on human gene expression. Firstly, chromatin structures native to DNA in human cells were simulated in vitro via reconstitution techniques. Their effect on cisplatin-mediated DNA damage could then be evaluated. Secondly, the transcriptional response of human cells to cisplatin treatment was analysed using microarrays and gene expression profiling techniques. ····· 10361132886

Analysis of TP53 and Promoter hypermethylation of MGMT in lung cancer

Lung cancer was considered to be rare in the beginning of the century but has now reached almost epidemic proportions, being the leader killer in developed countries and is also rising in developing countries. Lung cancer shows a great variation in the prevalence in different geographical regions, probably because of different origins of mutagens or mechanisms of action of different mutagens and/or different ethnicity of different populations. It has always been the interest of scientific community to identify and characterize the molecular alterations and associated risk factors associated with the lung carcinogenesis in different geographic regions of the world. Kashmir Valley being the northern most part of the India, with a different geography and unique culture from rest of the country, lacks the data regarding the molecular biology of lung cancer. Since lung cancer incidence is rising in the Valley, being second most common cancer in this region with the capital district of Srinagar having the highest district-wise age adjusted incidence in males in the country. With this background we tried to study the molecular alterations of TP53 and promoter methylation of MGMT. ····· 10361134234

El pseudohipoparatiroidismo (PHP) está caracterizado por hipocalcemia e hiperfosfatemia debidas a resistencia a la hormona paratiroidea (PTH). Pacientes con PHP-Ia generalmente presentan otras resistencias hormonales y muestran un fenotipo característico denominado osteodistrofia hereditaria de Albright (AHO). Este fenotipo también está presente en pacientes diagnosticados de pseudopseudohipoparatiroidismo (PPHP), que no tienen resistencia hormonal. Por otra parte, pacientes con PHP-Ib, presentan, preferentemente, resistencia a la PTH y no tienen fenotipo de Albright. Desde el punto de vista genético, el PHP-I está causado por alteraciones en el locus GNAS (20q13.32), uno de los más complejos del genoma humano. Pacientes con PHP-Ia presentan mutaciones en heterozigosis en cualquiera de los trece exones del gen GNAS, que codifica la proteína Gs .

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the major health problems responsible for increasing mortality and morbidity all over the world. The hypothesis of the study is that elevated levels of antioxidant enzymes are associated with increased stable coronary artery disease. With this perspective in the study, the role of trace elements, lipids and antioxidant enzymes levels in the serum of patients with CAD were determined and the presence of DNA damage in peripheral blood lymphocytes in these patients was also verified. Our findings reports that the increased DNA damages are found in CAD patients who have been analyzed for high or moderate risk of triple vessel disease by duke treadmill score (DTS) and coronary angiogram successively. Moreover evaluation of the association of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) gene with coronary artery disease (CAD) has suggested that there is no association of Deletion (D) or insertion (I) alleles with CAD. The study implies that the trace elements will have reliable prognostic value in the diagnosis of CAD if the investigation is carried out on the extent of the changes of these elements in CAD patients. ····· 10361146427

Identification of agronomic and biochemical traits related to salt tolerance is also important criterion to be considered. Present study was aimed for the assessment of variations for salt tolerance among and within four Triticum groups with respect to agronomic traits and biochemical parameters including malondialdehyde (MDA) content, protein, superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), catalase (CAT), and reducing sugars. Salt tolerance is a complex trait and does not involve single mechanism in providing tolerance. In conclusion grain number is an important trait under salt stress for determining yield where as number of spikes and spikelets are the important traits in determining grain number. Selection criteria of tolerant genotypes could be based on agronomic traits which are contributing to yield. Up regulated activities of SOD coupled with increased activities of POD and CAT activities and low MDA content can be useful biomarkers for the selection of tolerant wheat genotypes under salt stress. Accumulation of reducing sugars under salt stress is another important biomarker for the identification of tolerant genotypes. ····· 10361146482
