Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEFFECTS OF MELANOCORTIN-4 RECEPTOR GENE ON GROWTH AND MEAT TRAITS IN PIGS RAISED IN RUSSIAA. Klimenko, A. Usatov, Lyubov Getmantseva et al.The Melanocortin-4 Receptor (MC4R), a G-protein coupled receptor, is implicated in mediating the effect of leptin on food intake and energy balance. A previous candidate gene study reported an association between an MC4R polymorphism (Asp298Asn) and growth and meat productive traits of pigs. The aim of this work was to determine frequencies of the MC4R/Taq I genotypes and alleles in … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 11 Feb 2014 · 7,608 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA True New Gene: An Invertebrate Antibody Igkappa GeneMichel Leclerc, Nadine Vincent, Magne Osteras, Patricia OttenThe sea star Asterias rubens reacts specifically to the antigen: Horse-Radish Peroxydase (HRP) and produces an «antibody» anti-HRP.We had presented a candidate IgKappa gene corresponding to this last one in 2013. We show now the gene called: «sea star IgKappa gene» in its specificity. We have to know, at the present time that, at our knowledge, the sea star doesn’t … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 24 Sep 2013 · 7,007 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn Vitro Antagonistic Antifungal-Activity of Streptomyces Isolate 339 Against Magnaporthe oryzaeM. Ebrahimi Zarandi, G. H. Shahidi Bonjar, F. Padasht DehkaeiBiological control offers an environmentally friendly alternative to the use of antimicrobials for controlling plant diseases. A collection of about 100 Actinomycete strains was screened for the ability to produce metabolites that inhibit Magnaporthe oryzae growth in vitro. The Streptomyces isolate 339 showed strong in vitro antagonistic activity against M. oryzae in Agar disc and Well-diffusion methods by producing extracellular … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 4 Sep 2013 · 8,140 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA True &#34Candidate Ig Kappa Gene&#34 in the Sea-Star: Asterias rubens (Echinoderma)Michel Leclerc, Patricia Otten, Magne OsterasThe axial organ of the sea-star Asterias rubens is a primitive immune organ. The B-like cells, when stimulated by various antigens, produce antibody substances correlated with Ig Kappa gene. A candidate Ig kappa gene (IgK chain V-IV region S107B precursor) more convincing in term of genome was shown. …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 20 Aug 2013 · 7,222 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of Transgenic Maize using Immature Embryos of HiII Genotype as a Vaccine CandidateHyun A. Kim, Suk Yoon Kwon, Han Sang Yoo et al.Problem statement: Plant-based vaccines posses some advantages over other types of vaccine biotechnology such as safety, low cost of mass vaccination programs and wider use of vaccines for veterinary medicine. These study was undertaken to develop the transgenic maize as edible vaccine candidate for animals. Approach: The immature embryos of HiII genotype were inoculated with A. tumefaciens strain C58C1 containing … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 5 Mar 2012 · 7,567 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing Unique-Prime-Factorization Theorem to Mine Frequent Patterns without Generating TreeHossein Tohidi, Hamidah IbrahimProblem statement: Ffrequent patterns are patterns that appear in a data set frequently. Finding such frequent patterns plays an essential role in mining associations, correlations and many other interesting relationships among data. Approach: Most of the previous studies adopt an Apriorilike approach. For huge database it may need to generate a huge number of candidate sets. An interest solution is … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 7 Jan 2011 · 8,839 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCloning of the Endoglucanase Gene from a Bacillus amyloliquefaciens PSM 3.1 in Escherichia coli Revealed Catalytic Triad Residues Thr-His-GluZeily Nurachman, Sari Dewi Kurniasih, Ferra Puspitawati et al.Problem statement: An Indonesian marine bacterial isolate, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens PSM 3.1 was isolated for hydrolyzing cellulose. A 1500-bp nucleotide fragment was amplified from the chromosomal DNA by the use of primers directed against the conserved sequence of Bacilli endoglucanase genes obtained from GenBank. Approach: The fragment was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. Results: The endoglucanase gene (eglII gene) had … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2010 · 9,724 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMethamphetamine Regulation of Sulfotransferases in Rat Liver and BrainTianyan Zhou, Chaoqun Huang, Yue Chen et al.Problem statement: Sulfotransferases (SULTs) are important phase II drug metabolizing enzymes. They also regulate the biological activities of various hormones. To the best of our knowledge, psychostimulants regulation of SULTs is basically not studied except one article reported that Methamphetamine (METH) treatment induced rat amygdale rSULT1A1 mRNA 4.3 fold by using microarray method to identify a series of candidate genes … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,683 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDNA Polymorphism of Bovine Pituitary-Specific Transcription Factor and Leptin Gene Between Iranian Bos indicus and Bos taurus CattleArash Javanmard, Nader Asadzadeh, Fatollah SarhadiProblem statement: Variations at DNA level contribute to the genetic characterization of livestock populations and this may help to identify possible hybridization events as well as past evolutionary trends. Approach: The leptin and Pit-1 are attractive candidate genes for production and reproduction traits in cattle. A total of 247 Animals from four breeds from two species of Iranian cattle populations … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,024 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMolecular Characterization of Pseudomonas aeruginosa UPM P3 from Oil Palm RhizosphereBadri Fariman Azadeh, Sariah MeonProblem statement: Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been used in agriculture as biological agents. It has shown substantial control of a variety of soil-borne plant pathogens including Macrophomina phaseolina, Botrytis cinerea, Rhizoctonia solani, Colletotrichum truncatum, Pythium, Fusarium and others.
