Development of TRAP primers for Ricinus communis L.
Authors: K.S. Sim?µes, S.A. Silva, E.L. Machado and H.S. Brasileiro
The objective of this article was to develop TRAP (target region amplification polymorphism) primers for castor bean, with the goal of making functional markers available for genetic studies about the species. To do this, oligonucleotides were designed based on ESTs, obtained from the NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology In.. Read More»

Genetic diversity among cotton cultivars in two environments in the State of Mato Grosso
Authors: I.G. Santos, P.E. Teodoro, F.C. Farias, F.J.C. Farias, L.P. Carvalho, J.I.S. Rodrigues and C.D. Cruz
Using commercial cultivars to compose crossing blocks in cotton is a promising strategy, because these materials have desirable agronomic and technological characteristics. The objective of this study was to evaluate the genetic diversity among 16 cotton cultivars cultivated in two environments in the State of Mato Grosso, the.. Read More»

A rapid and high-quality method for total RNA isolation from Haematococcus pluvialis
Authors: Q.L. Luo, K.P. Wang, K. Xiao, C.G. Wang and Z.L. Hu
Haematococcus pluvialis, as the most potential natural source of astaxanthin, which is a powerful antioxidant with high economic value, has attracted more and more scientific attention in recent years. An in-depth understanding of the mechanism for how H. pluvialis produces astaxanthin requires the intensive investigations on .. Read More»

Population genetic characterization of the Japanese oak silkmoth, Antheraea yamamai (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae), using novel microsatellite markers and mitochondrial DNA gene sequences
Authors: S.R. Kim, K.Y. Kim, J.S. Jeong, M.J. Kim, K.-H. Kim, K.H. Choi and I. Kim
The Japanese oak silkmoth, Antheraea yamamai Guérin-Méneville, 1861 (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae), is an important natural resource of industrial value for silk fiber production. Owing to a lack of geographic and population genetic information, systematic domestication of An. yamamai has not been possible yet. In th.. Read More»

Genome-wide association analysis of body conformation traits in Mexican Holstein cattle using a mix of sampled and imputed SNP genotypes
Authors: M.E. Gonz?¡lez, V.M. Gonz?¡lez, M.F. Monta?±o, G.E. Medina,P. Mahadevan, C. Villa and R. Villa
In arid and semi-arid zones, animal health and production are closely correlated with body conformation traits. These selected traits, in turn, allow livestock to adapt unfavorable soil and environmental conditions. The primary objective of this study was to perform a genome-wide association analysis for a set of sampled and i.. Read More»

Molecular analysis of genetic diversity among vine accessions using DNA markers
Authors: A.F. da Costa, P.E. Teodoro, L.L. Bhering, F.D. Tardin, R.F. Daher, W.F. Campos, A.P. Viana and M.G. Pereira
Viticulture presents a number of economic and social advantages, such as increasing employment levels and fixing the labor force in rural areas. With the aim of initiating a program of genetic improvement in grapevine from the State University of the state of Rio de Janeiro North Darcy Ribeiro, genetic diversity between 40 gen.. Read More»

Genetic variability and expression of agro-morphological traits among genotypes of Coffea arabica being promoted by supplementary irrigation
Authors: W.N. Rodrigues, S.V.B. Brinate, L.D. Martins, T.V. Colodetti and M.A. Tomaz
The use of supplementary irrigation to sustain the plantation during moments of severe water stress or moments of high water demand is becoming almost a norm to keep sustainable crops, especially due to the climate changes and the high frequency in which climate extremes are occurring lately. The objective of this study was to.. Read More»
