Structure and genetic diversity of Anacardium humile (Anacardiaceae): a tropical shrub

Anacardium humile Saint Hilaire is a tropical shrub native to the Cerrado biome. It is a fruiting species with biological, medicinal, and socioeconomic significance. Thus, knowing how the genetic variability of natural populations is organized allows for the establishment of strategies for conservation and the sustainable use of the species and its biome. Six micros.. Read More»

Leaf age affects the quality of DNA extracted from Dimorphandra mollis (Fabaceae), a tropical tree species from the Cerrado region of Brazil

    P.A. Moreira and D.A. Oliveira

Isolation of high-quality DNA from plants, especially plants from the Cerrado, is notoriously difficult because of polysaccharides and secondary compounds produced by plants from this biome. DNA isolation and its quality may be compromised by chemical defenses such as tannins and phenols. Quantitative plant defenses tend to have a cumulative effect, increasing in co.. Read More»

Characterization of nine transferred SSR markers in the tropical tree species Enterolobium contortisiliquum (Fabaceae)

    P.A. Moreira S.A.S. Sousa F.A. Oliveira N.H. Araújo G.W. Fernandes D.A. Oliveira

Transfer of molecular markers is widely used in conservation genetic studies. We investigated the transferability of simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers developed for Enterolobium cyclocarpum to E. contortisiliquum, a tropical tree widely distributed in dry forests. A set of 9 evaluated SSR markers were amplified in E. contortisiliquum and the degree of polymorphism was assessed in 8 trees sam.. Read More»

Transferability and characterization of simple sequence repeat markers from Anacardium occidentale to A. humile (Anacardiaceae)

    L.G. Cota P.A. Moreira E.V. Menezes A.S. Gomes A.R.O. Ericsson D.A. Oliveira A.F. Melo Jr.

Use of molecular markers can be limited by the high cost and extensive time required for their development. Transfer of simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers reduces the cost and time limitations and has allowed the use of these markers in a larger number of species. We tested 11 SSR markers previously developed for Anacardium occidentale on A. humile. The 11 loci were successfully amplified in .. Read More»
