Gene Expression Patterns Of Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (Bmps) During Early Embryonic Development In The Annual Killifish Austrofundulus Limnaeus, Eva Y. Chan
PSU McNair Scholars Online Journal
The developmental pattern of the annual killifish Austrofundulus limnaeus is unusual compared to other fish. First, the cell movements associated with gastrulation are separated from formation of the embryonic axis. In addition, embryonic diapause can occur. Diapause II and III are often observed when embryos are incubated at 25oC. Maternal influences and incubation environment are the factors that determine entrance into embryonic diapause, but the molecular mechanisms that regulate diapause are still unknown. Interestingly, embryonic diapause and the unusual cell movements observed during early development are always found together in species of annual killifish that exhibit diapause. Bone …
Genome-Wide Analysis Of Response To Low Sulfur (Lsu) Genes In Grass Species And Expression Profiling Of Model Grass Species Brachypodium Distachyon Under S Deficiency, Hüseyi̇n Tombuloğlu, Abdugaffor Ablazov, Ertuğrul Fi̇li̇z
Genome-Wide Analysis Of Response To Low Sulfur (Lsu) Genes In Grass Species And Expression Profiling Of Model Grass Species Brachypodium Distachyon Under S Deficiency, Hüseyi̇n Tombuloğlu, Abdugaffor Ablazov, Ertuğrul Fi̇li̇z
Turkish Journal of Biology
Sulfur (S) affects the plant life cycle and crop yield and has nutritional importance for human and animal diet. Its deficiency is one of the major problems in agriculture. However, the plant-specific LSU (response to Low Sulfur) gene family has not been extensively analyzed in major plant species such as grasses. In this study, we have performed in silico genome-wide analysis of LSU genes in 6 grass species, including Brachypodium distachyon, Sorghum bicolor, Oryza sativa, Zea mays, Triticum aestivum, and Panicum virgatum. All identified LSU genes contained one exon encoding proteins of acidic character with cytoplasmic localization. In silico analysis …
Preliminary Analysis On The Transcripts Involved In Resistance Responses To Eumusae Leaf Spot Disease Of Banana Caused By Mycosphaerella Eumusae, A Recent Add-On Of The Sigatoka Disease Complex, Asoor Santhanam Saravanakkumar, Subbaraya Uma, Raman Thangavelu, Suthanthiram Backiyrani, Marimuthu Somasundaram Saraswathi, Viswanathan Sriram

Eumusae leaf spot disease, caused by Mycosphaerella eumusae, is widely distributed in different banana growing countries in Asia and Africa, causing severe losses in yield and quality of banana. The aim of this study was to identify the differentially expressed defense responsive genes through subtractive suppression hybridization (SSH) in the Musa-M. eumusae interaction system. In this method, leaf samples collected at different intervals between 0 and 72 h postinoculation (hpi) of M. eumusae from resistant (Manoranjitham-AAA) and susceptible (Grand Naine-AAA) cultivars were subjected to cDNA-SSH library construction. From the SSH library, 832 clones having the insert were selected and sequenced. …
Investigation Of The Promoter Polymorphisms Of The Growth Hormone (Gh1), Growth Hormone Receptor (Ghr), Insulin-Like Growth Factor (Igf-I), And Prolactin (Prl) Genes And The Correlation Between Gene Expression And Milk Yields In Holstein Cattle Raised In Central Anatolia, Korhan Arslan, Serpi̇l Taheri̇, Eli̇f Funda Şener, Bi̇lal Akyüz, Aytaç Akçay, Yusuf Özkul, Kaan Muhsi̇n İşcan

The aim of this study was to investigate the promoter polymorphisms of the growth hormone (GH1), growth hormone receptor (GHR), insulin-like growth factor (IGF-I), and prolactin (PRL) genes, and the correlation of the expression levels of these genes with lactation and daily milk yields in Holstein cattle. A total of 154 lactating Holstein cows raised in the Central Anatolia Region of Turkey, with a mean age of 5.4 years and a mean body weight of 571.7 kg, constituted the study material. Each blood sample was examined by real-time PCR for mRNA expression levels and the promoter polymorphisms of the GH1, …
