Genetic improvement of cooking time in common bean: the role of dominance by Rita Carolina de Melo, Jefferson Luís Meirelles Coimbra, Luan Tiago dos Santos Carbonari, Paulo Henrique Cerutti, Altamir Frederico Guidolin

“…ABSTRACT: This study aimed to understand how the genetic components involved in cooking time behave from the first generations of self-fertilization to the formation of lines. Two targeted crosses were used, resulting in segregating progenies at different heterozygosity levels (F2, F3, F8, and F9). …”

Maternal environmental enrichment affects the corpora lutea and progesterone levels in pregnant mice by Fernanda Luz De la Cruz Borthiry, Jimena Soledad Beltrame, Julieta Aylen Schander, Aime Florencia Silva, Fernanda Parborell, Ana María Franchi, María Laura Ribeiro

“…As progesterone regulates gestation, we decided to study the effect of maternal environmental enrichment on ovarian physiology during early gestation.MethodsFor this, six-week-old female mice were housed in enriched or control cages for six weeks and then mated with control fertile males. Females with a mucus plug were returned to their respective control or enriched cages. …”

De Novo Transcriptome Sequencing of Olea europaea L. to Identify Genes Involved in the Development of the Pollen Tube by Domenico Iaria, Adriana Chiappetta, Innocenzo Muzzalupo

“…In order to determine compatibility relationships, using next-generation sequencing techniques and a de novo transcriptome assembly strategy, we show that pollen tubes from different olive plants, grown in vitro in a medium containing its own pistil and in combination pollen/pistil from self-sterile and self-fertile cultivars, have a distinct gene expression profile and many of the differentially expressed sequences between the samples fall within gene families involved in the development of the pollen tube, such as lipase, carboxylesterase, pectinesterase, pectin methylesterase, and callose synthase. …”

Systemic and Nonrenal Adverse Effects Occurring in Renal Transplant Patients Treated with mTOR Inhibitors by Gianluigi Zaza, Paola Tomei, Paolo Ria, Simona Granata, Luigino Boschiero, Antonio Lupo

“…In particular, mTOR-I may induce systemic nonnephrological side effects including pulmonary toxicity, hematological disorders, dysmetabolism, lymphedema, stomatitis, cutaneous adverse effects, and fertility/gonadic toxicity. Although most of the adverse effects are dose related, it is extremely important for clinicians to early recognize them in order to reduce dosage or discontinue mTOR-I treatment avoiding the onset and development of severe clinical complications.…”
