Verticillium wilt caused by soil borne fungus Verticillium dahliae could significantly reduce cotton yield. The Ve1 homologous gene Gbvdr3 is resistant to Verticillium wilt. In order to understand of the function of the promoter Gbvdr3 in Gossypium barbadense, the promoter region of the receptor-like gene Gbvdr3 was obtained by genome walking, and the cis-element in the promoter was identified using the PLACE software in this study.

Comparative analysis of MIR168 promoters in three plant species

D. Qu, Yan, F., Li, M. A., Varotto, C., Zhao, Z. Y., Qu, D., Yan, F., Li, M. A., Varotto, C., and Zhao, Z. Y., “Comparative analysis of MIR168 promoters in three plant species”, vol. 15, p. -, 2016.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in the regulation of gene expression by post-transcriptionally targeting mRNAs for cleavage or translational repression. miR168 is a key miRNA because it regulates the expression of the slicer protein ARGONAUTE1 (AGO1), which catalyzes mRNA cleavage. Interestingly, plant miR168s are highly evolutionarily conserved; however, it is unclear whether MIR168 promoter elements and expression patterns are also conserved. Here, we isolated MIR168 promoters from monocot rice and dicot grape genomes.

Association between RASSF1A promoter methylation and renal cell cancer susceptibility: a meta-analysis

Y. Q. Huang, Guan, H., Liu, C. H., Liu, D. C., Xu, B., Jiang, L., Lin, Z. X., Chen, M., Huang, Y. Q., Guan, H., Liu, C. H., Liu, D. C., Xu, B., Jiang, L., Lin, Z. X., Chen, M., Huang, Y. Q., Guan, H., Liu, C. H., Liu, D. C., Xu, B., Jiang, L., Lin, Z. X., and Chen, M., “Association between RASSF1A promoter methylation and renal cell cancer susceptibility: a meta-analysis”, vol. 15, p. -, 2016.

Epigenetic inactivation of Ras-associated domain family 1A (RASSF1A) by hyper-methylation of its promoter region has been identified in various cancers. However, the role of RASSF1A in renal cancer has neither been thoroughly investigated nor reviewed. In this study, we reviewed and performed a meta-analysis of 13 published studies reporting correlations between methylation frequency of the RASSF1A promoter region and renal cancer risk.
