Anaplerosis in cancer: Another step beyond the warburg effect
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2016-10)
Biosynthesis is up-regulated in tumors and thus the demand for anabolic intermediates is increased. The metabolic routes providing the building blocks for macromolecules are thus a very attractive target as they are not ...
Genetic Variation among Fragmented Populations of Atriplex halimus L. Using Start Codon Targeted (SCoT) and ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 Region Markers
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2016-04)
Two forms of A. halimus shrubs: erect habit (A. halimus) and bushy habit shrub (A. schweinfurthii)
are used naturally isolated by a considerable distance from each other and occupy the same area.
To explore the effect ...
Quantitative Gene Expression of Peroxidase, Polyphenoloxidase and Catalase as Molecular Markers for Resistance against Ralstonia solanacearum
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2016-04)
Brown rot or bacterial wilt of potato caused by Ralstonia solanacearum, is an economically important
disease. Potato, cv. Nicola, was found to be relatively highly resistant to the infection with
R. solanacearum and ...
Constitutive and Secretory Expression of the AiiA in Pichia pastoris Inhibits Amorphophallus konjac Soft Rot Disease
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2016-04)
Amorphophallus konjac is an important economic crop widely cultivated in Southeast Asia and
Africa. However, A. konjac is seriously infected by soft rot pathogen. The endocellular acyl homoserine
lactonase (AiiA) which ...
Extracellular Micro-RNAs in Health and Disease: Basic Science, Biogenesis and Release
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2016-01)
Small non-protein coding micro-RNAs are regularly exported out of cells, both in health and disease.
More than ninety percent of extracellular miRNAs are associated with lower-molecular-mass
complexes bound to Argonaute ...
Association of XbaI GLUT1 Polymorphism with Susceptibility to Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Diabetic Nephropathy
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2016-03)
Objectives: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the chronic microangiopathic complications of
type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and has become the most frequent cause of end-stage renal disease. The
XbaI polymorphism in the glucose ...
Genetic Diversity of Maize Accessions (Zea mays L.) Cultivated from Benin Using Microsatellites Markers
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2016-01)
Maize (Zea mays L.) is the major cereal cultivated in Benin and it is important to know its genetic
diversity to improve the yield. The genetic markers of important traits are evaluated in order to
improve the maize ...
E lectrospun fibers for wound healing and treatment of hyperglycemia: A review
(Academic Journals, 2016-06-22)
The use of electrospun fibers in diabetic wound healing assays represents an extremely important topic for investigation. Electrospun fibers have been applied in the immobilization of drugs, allowing sustained and controlled ...
The Potential of DNA Barcode-Based Delineation Using Seven Putative Candidate Loci of the Plastid Region in Inferring Molecular Diversity of Cowpea at Sub-Species Level
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2016-10)
The novelty and suitability of the mitochondrial gene CO1 in DNA barcoding as a reliable identification tool in animal species are undisputed. This is attributed to its standardized sequencing segment of the mitochondrial ...
Expression Analysis of WRKY Transcription Factor Genes in Response to Abiotic Stresses in Horsegram (Macrotyloma uniflorum (Lam.) Verdc.)
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2016-10)
Drought and salt stress are two major environmental constraints that limit the productivity of agriculture crops worldwide. WRKY transcription factors are the plant-specific transcription factors that regulate several ...
