Differential coupling of gibberellin responses by Rht-B1c suppressor alleles and Rht-B1b in wheat highlights a unique role for the DELLA N-terminus in dormancy [PDF]
During the Green Revolution, substantial increases in wheat (Triticum aestivum) yields were realized, at least in part, through the introduction of the Reduced height (Rht)-B1b and Rht-D1b semi-dwarfing alleles.

KIR2DL2/2DL3-E(35) alleles are functionally stronger than -Q(35) alleles. [PDF]
KIR2DL2 and KIR2DL3 segregate as alleles of a single locus in the centromeric motif of the killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) gene family. Although KIR2DL2/L3 polymorphism is known to be associated with many human diseases and is an important

Microsatellite null alleles and estimation of population differentiation.
Microsatellite null alleles are commonly encountered in population genetics studies, yet little is known about their impact on the estimation of population differentiation.

Allelic diversity of S-RNase alleles in diploid potato species [PDF]
The S-ribonuclease sequences of 16 S-alleles derived from diploid types of Solanum are presented. A phylogenetic analysis and partial phenotypic analysis support the conclusion that these are functional S-alleles. S-Ribonucleases (S-RNases) control the pistil specificity of the self-incompatibility (SI) response in the genus Solanum and several other ...

Polymorphisms in the genes of citohrom oxidase P450 2D6 (CYP2D6), paraoxonase 1 (PON1) and apolipoproteine E (APOE) as risk factors for Parkinson's disease [PDF]
Background/Aim. The presence of Parkinson's disease (PD) among the members of a family is a clear indication of the significance of genetics in its development.

Allelic effects on starch structure and properties of six starch biosynthetic genes in a rice recombinant inbred line population [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The genetic diversity of six starch biosynthetic genes (Wx, SSI, SSIIa, SBEI, SBEIIa and SBEIIb) in indica and japonica rices opens an opportunity to produce a new variety with more favourable grain starch quality.

Genetic Diversity of Campylobacter jejuni Isolated From Avian and Human Sources in Egypt
Campylobacter jejuni (C. jejuni) are able to colonise and infect domestic poultry and also pose a risk for humans. The aim of this study was to determine the extent of genotypic diversity among C. jejuni isolates recovered from avian and human sources in

The αs2-casein is one of the phosphoproteins secreted in all ruminants' milk, and it is the most hydrophilic of all caseins. However, this important gene (CSN1S2) has not been characterized in detail in buffaloes with only two alleles detected (reported ...
