Dopamine inhibits gonadotropin secretion in the Chinese loach (Paramisgurnus dabryanus)
The effects of dopamine on gonadotropin (GtH) secretion in sexually mature Chinese loach were investigated. Spontaneous secretion of GtH was inhibited within 1 h following an intramuscular injection of dopamin...

Molecular dissection of interspecific variation between Gossypium hirsutum and G. barbadense (cotton) by a backcross-self approach: II. Fiber fineness
A backcross-self population from a cross between Gossypium hirsutum and G. barbadense was used to dissect the molecular basis of genetic variation governing two parameters reflecting lint fiber fineness and to co...

Molecular dissection of phenotypic variation between Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium barbadense (cotton) by a backcross-self approach: III. Fiber length
A backcross-self population from a cross between Gossypium hirsutum and G. barbadense was used to dissect the molecular basis of genetic variation governing 15 parameters that reflect fiber length. Applying a det...

AtSAP18, An Orthologue of Human SAP18, is Involved in the Regulation of Salt Stress and Mediates Transcriptional Repression in Arabidopsis
In yeast and mammalian systems, it is well established that transcriptional down-regulation by DNA-binding repressors involves core histone deacetylation, mediated by their interaction within a complex contain...

Open AccessSinicView: A visualization environment for comparisons of multiple nucleotide sequence alignment tools
Deluged by the rate and complexity of completed genomic sequences, the need to align longer sequences becomes more urgent, and many more tools have thus been developed. In the initial stage of genomic sequence...

A rice gene activation/knockout mutant resource for high throughput functional genomics
Using transfer DNA (T-DNA) with functions of gene trap and gene knockout and activation tagging, a mutant population containing 55,000 lines was generated. Approximately 81% of this population carries 1–2 T-DN...

Analysis of quantitative trait loci underlying the period of reproductive growth stages in soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.)
Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) underlying reproductive growth stages are important for molecular breeding of soybeans [Glycine max (L.) Merr.]. Most of these QTLs identified so far derived from a single environme...

Open AccessY chromosome evidence of earliest modern human settlement in East Asia and multiple origins of Tibetan and Japanese populations
The phylogeography of the Y chromosome in Asia previously suggested that modern humans of African origin initially settled in mainland southern East Asia, and about 25,000–30,000 years ago, migrated northward,...
