Abstract:

‘Heterosis’ is a term used in genetics and breeding referring to hybrid vigour or the superiority of hybrids over their parents in terms of traits such as size, growth rate, biomass, fertility, yield, nutrient content, disease resistance or tolerance to abiotic and abiotic stress. Parental plants which are two different inbred (pure) lines that have desired traits are crossed to obtain hybrids. Maximum heterosis is observed in the first generation (F1) of crosses. Heterosis has been utilised in plant and animal breeding programs for at least 90 years: by the end of the 21st century, 65% of wo

Abstract:

The main aims of this work to set up two new mouse models, by conventional and conditional gene targeting, to investigate the functions of ERCC1, which has not, thus far, been associated with any known human disorders. To facilitate gene targeting studies, a series of overlapping ERCC1 genomic clones were retrieved from a bacteriophage library. Analysis of the mouse ERCC1 5'-flanking region revealed a novel transcription initiation site. Furthermore, several potential liver- and brain-specific transcription factor binding sites were present. A novel ERCC1-deficient mouse line, designated ET#20

Mathematical modeling of biological phenomena has experienced increasing interest since new high-throughput technologies give access to growing amounts of molecular data. These modeling approaches are especially able to test hypotheses which are not yet experimentally accessible or guide an experimental setup. One particular attempt investigates the evolutionary dynamics responsible for today's composition of organisms. Computer simulations either propose an evolutionary mechanism and thus reproduce a recent finding or rebuild an evolutionary process in order to learn about its mechanism. The

Abstract:

Risky alcohol use increases the risk of certain crimes such as drunk driving, spousal abuse and fighting. Around 60% of an individual’s alcohol use is attributable to genetic influences, however little is known regarding the specific genes that are involved in increasing the risk of risky alcohol use. Recent theories posit that some genes are so called susceptibility genes, meaning that carriers of certain genes or alleles are more susceptible both to positive and negative environments. The aim of the present study was to examine main and interaction effects of a possible susceptibility gene (

Abstract:

Gene therapy is a novel approach to the treatment of human disease that is in its very early stages of development. Its purpose is to add to and/or alter the pattern of gene expression in cells so as to achieve a therapeutic benefit and is being developed for application to such diverse conditions as simple inherited diseases, cancer, AIDS, and cardiovascular disease. Poor uptake of DNA by cells in vivo is a significant technical barrier for gene therapy. Viruses have evolved to carry their nucleic acid contents into cells very efficiently and are thus considered as potential vectors for gene

Abstract:

The genome can be considered the blueprint for an organism. Composed of DNA, it harbours all organism-specific instructions for the synthesis of all structural components and their associated functions. The role of carriers of actual molecular structure and functions was believed to be exclusively assumed by proteins encoded in particular segments of the genome, the genes. In the process of converting the information stored genes into functional proteins, RNA – a third major molecule class – was discovered early on to act a messenger by copying the genomic information and relaying it to the pr

Abstract:

Arabidopsis thaliana HYL1 is a nuclear doublestranded RNA-binding protein involved in the maturation of pri-miRNAs. A quantitative real-time PCR platform for parallel quantification of 176 primiRNAs was used to reveal strong accumulation of 57 miRNA precursors in the hyl1 mutant that completely lacks HYL1 protein. This approach enabled us for the first time to pinpoint particular members of MIRNA family genes that require HYL1 activity for efficient maturation of their precursors. Moreover, the accumulation of miRNA precursors in the hyl1 mutant gave us the opportunity to carry out 3’ and 5’ R

Haematopoietic development is a complex process that is strictly hierarchically organized.

However, the molecular mechanisms driving specification into distinct phagocytes remain poorly understood. In the presen

Immune genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) constitute a central component of the adaptive immune system and play an essential role in parasite resistance and associated life-history strategies.

The recognition of the individual MHC constitution is presumed to be mediated through olfactory cues. Indeed, MHC genes are in physical linkage with olfactory receptor genes a

Abstract:

Since available phosphate (Pi) resources in soil are limited, symbiotic interactions between plant roots and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are a widespread strategy to improve plant phosphate nutrition. The repression of AM symbiosis by a high plant Pi-status indicates a link between Pi homeostasis signalling and AM symbiosis development. This assumption is supported by the systemic induction of several microRNA399 (miR399) primary transcripts in shoots and a simultaneous accumulation of mature miR399 in roots of mycorrhizal plants. However, the physiological role of this miR399 expression

The UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) are a superfamily of enzymes that glucuronidate small, lipophilic molecules, thereby altering their biological activity and excretion.

In keeping with both roles, UGTs are most strongly expressed in the liver, a predominant organ involved in detoxification. Rates of glucuronidation in humans are neither uniform amon

Abstract:

In order to function properly, organisms have a complex control mechanism, in which a given gene is expressed at a particular time and place. One way to achieve this control is to regulate the initiation of transcription. This step requires the assembly of several components, i.e., a basal/general machinery common to all expressed genes, and a specific/regulatory machinery, which differs among genes and is the responsible for proper gene expression in response to environmental or developmental signals. This specific machinery is composed of transcription factors (TFs), which can be grouped int

Angiostatin is one of the most widely studied inhibitors of angiogenesis and encompasses the first 3 or 4 kringle domains of human plasminogen (Plg). Of particular interest, is the fifth kringle of human Plg (KS), which displays higher anti-angiogenic potency than angiostatin. In fact, kringles 1 to 5 exhibit greater inhibitory activity against endothelial cells than angiostatin, and this finding suggests that K5 domain acts synergistically to enhance the anti-angiogenic effect of angiostatin. Therefore, we proposed that the K5 domain---on its own---could act as a potent anti-angiogenic and an
