Tolerance To Aluminum Toxicity In Common Bean Genotypes, Anderson Akihide Hirose, José Dos Santos Neto, Vania Kajiwara, Vânia Moda-Cirino

United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

INTRODUCTION Approximately one third of areas cultivated with common bean in Brazil, more specifically in the states of Paraná, Minas Gerais, São Paulo, Goiás and Bahia, have high aluminum (Al) concentration and low fertility in soils (Giannakoula, 2008). In conditions of acidity and low fertility, the presence of soluble Al in the soil solution is one of the most limiting abiotic factors of crop development and yield. The Al exchangeable interferes in the absorption and movement of phosphorus, calcium and magnesium in the plant, contributing also to the adsorption of phosphorus in the soil (Echart and Cavalli-Molina, 2001). Considering the …

A Systematic Study Of Dysregulated Microrna In Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus., Yuqing He, Yuanlin Ding, Biyu Liang, Juanjuan Lin, Taek-Kyun Kim, Haibing Yu, Hanwei Hang, Kai Wang

Articles, Abstracts, and Reports

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that modulate the cellular transcriptome at the post-transcriptional level. miRNA plays important roles in different disease manifestation, including type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Many studies have characterized the changes of miRNAs in T2DM, a complex systematic disease; however, few studies have integrated these findings and explored the functional effects of the dysregulated miRNAs identified. To investigate the involvement of miRNAs in T2DM, we obtained and analyzed all relevant studies published prior to 18 October 2016 from various literature databases. From 59 independent studies that met the inclusion criteria, we identified 158 dysregulated miRNAs in …

The Relationship Of Education And Acculturation With Vigorous Intensity Leisure Time Physical Activity By Gender In Latinos, Erick B. Lopez, Takashi Yamashita

Sociology Faculty Research

Objectives: Latinos have poorer health outcomes among certain conditions (e.g. diabetes, obesity, mental health) compared to non-Latino Whites in the U.S., in part due to difference in the amount of physical activity, which are heavily influenced by sociocultural factors such as educational attainment and acculturation. Vigorous-intensity leisure time physical activity (VLTPA) may provide health benefits with a shorter amount of time than moderate-to-light physical activity. However, VLTPA has been significantly understudied compared to LTPA in general. The purpose of this study is to examine the associations between educational attainment, acculturation, and VLTPA by gender among Latino adults in the U.S. …

Comparative Study On The In Vitro Effects Of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa And Seaweed Alginates On Human Gut Microbiota, Shaofeng Bai, Huahai Chen, Liying Zhu, Wei Liu, Hongwei Yu, Xin Wang, Yeshi Yin

Biochemistry and Microbiology

Alginates pertain to organic polysaccharides that have been extensively used in food- and medicine-related industries. The present study obtained alginates from an alginate overproducing Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 mutant by screening transposon mutagenesis libraries. The interaction between bacterial and seaweed alginates and gut microbiota were further studied by using an in vitro batch fermentation system. Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) analysis indicated that both bacterial and seaweed alginates can be completely degraded by fecal bacteria isolated from study volunteers, indicating that a minor structural difference between bacterial and seaweed alginates (O-acetylation and lack of G-G blocks) didn’t affect the digestion of alginates by …
