LncRNA UCA1 epigenetically suppresses APAF1 expression to mediate the protective effect of sevoflurane against myocardial ischemia–reperfusion injury
Myocardial ischemia–reperfusion injury (MI/RI) is a leading cause of death globally. Whereas some long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are known to participate in the progression of MI/RI, the role of urothelial carc...

Open AccessMolecular map** of a novel lesion mimic gene (lm4) associated with enhanced resistance to stripe rust in bread wheat
Lesion mimics (LMs) are disease-like symptoms that occur randomly on plant green leaves in the absence of pathogens. A previous study showed that LMs are related to enhanced resistance to a broad spectrum of d...

Comparative profiling of roots small RNA expression and corresponding gene ontology and pathway analyses for low- and high-cadmium–accumulating genotypes of wheat in response to cadmium stress
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) participate in multiple biological processes in plant. Cd accumulation ability differs among varieties in wheat, but little is known about miRNAs and their function in Cd accumulation of whe...

Develo** stripe rust resistant wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) lines with gene pyramiding strategy and marker-assisted selection
Stripe rust or yellow rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), is one of the most destructive diseases of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) worldwide. Growing resistant cultivars is the most effectiv...

Open AccessThe genome-wide impact of cadmium on microRNA and mRNA expression in contrasting Cd responsive wheat genotypes
Heavy metal ATPases (HMAs) are responsible for Cd translocation and play a primary role in Cd detoxification in various plant species. However, the characteristics of HMAs and the regulatory mechanisms between...

Open AccessGenome-wide identification, phylogenetic and expression analysis of the heat shock transcription factor family in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
Environmental toxicity from non-essential heavy metals such as cadmium (Cd), which is released from human activities and other environmental causes, is rapidly increasing. Wheat can accumulate high levels of C...

Comparative analysis of root transcriptome profiles between low- and high-cadmium-accumulating genotypes of wheat in response to cadmium stress
Wheat, one of the most broadly cultivated and consumed food crops worldwide, can accumulate high Cd contents in their edible parts, which poses a major hazard to human health. Cd accumulation ability differs a...

Evaluating the contribution of Yr genes to stripe rust resistance breeding through marker-assisted detection in wheat
Numerous stripe rust resistance genes have been identified from wheat, and new virulent races of Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici have also emerged in recent years. Deployment of diverse combinations of resist...

Open AccessThe existence of C4-bundle-sheath-like photosynthesis in the mid-vein of C3 rice
Recent studies have shown that C4-like photosynthetic pathways partly reside in photosynthetic cells surrounding the vascular system of C3 dicots. However, it is still unclear whether this is the case in C3 monoc...

Open AccessDraft genome sequence of Amphibacillus jilinensis Y1T, a facultatively anaerobic, alkaliphilic and halotolerant bacterium
The genus Amphibacillus was established in 1990, and seven additional species were described in the past two decades. Amphibacillus jilinensis Y1T is a facultatively anaerobic and alkaliphilic bacterium isolated ...

Open AccessSelection of single-nucleotide polymorphisms in disease association data
We studied several methods for selecting single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a disease association study. Two major categories for analytical strategy are the univariate and the set selection approaches....

Open AccessRobust trend tests for genetic association in case-control studies using family data
We studied a trend test for genetic association between disease and the number of risk alleles using case-control data. When the data are sampled from families, this trend test can be adjusted to take into acc...

Open AccessA statistical method for adjusting covariates in linkage analysis with sib pairs
We propose a statistical method that includes the use of longitudinal regression models and estimation procedures for adjusting for covariate effects in applying the Haseman-Elston (HE) method for linkage anal...
