Reference Gene Selection for RT-qPCR Analysis in Maize Kernels Inoculated with Aspergillus flavus
Resistance against infection by the fungus Aspergillus flavus Link in commercial maize (Zea mays L.) is the topic of many studies, but few studies have investigated the effects of A. flavus infection on gene expression levels in ear kernels.

De novo assembly of transcriptomes from a B73 maize line introgressed with a QTL for resistance to gray leaf spot disease reveals a candidate allele of a lectin receptor-like kinase [PDF]
Gray leaf spot (GLS) disease in maize, caused by the fungus Cercospora zeina, is a threat to maize production globally. Understanding the molecular basis for quantitative resistance to GLS is therefore important for food security.

Investigation of relative expression of candidate genes related to salinity tolerance at seedling stage of rice using real-time PCR [PDF]
Objective Rice is a food source for more than half of the world's population and it is important as a model plant for monocots, and also its growth and yield is strongly affected by salinity stress, hence comprehensive research is essential for the ...

Variation in the flowering time orthologs BrFLC and BrSOC1 in a natural population of Brassica rapa [PDF]
Understanding the genetic basis of natural phenotypic variation is of great importance, particularly since selection can act on this variation to cause evolution.

CADM1 is a strong neuroblastoma candidate gene that maps within a 3.72 Mb critical region of loss on 11q23 [PDF]
Background: Recurrent loss of part of the long arm of chromosome 11 is a well established hallmark of a subtype of aggressive neuroblastomas. Despite intensive mapping efforts to localize the culprit 11q tumour suppressor gene, this search has been ...

Using genomic annotations increases statistical power to detect eGenes. [PDF]
MotivationExpression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) are genetic variants that affect gene expression. In eQTL studies, one important task is to find eGenes or genes whose expressions are associated with at least one eQTL. The standard statistical method
