Genetic diversity of Saccharum complex using ISSR markers
Authors: L.A.R. Oliveira, C.A. Machado, M.N. Cardoso, A.C.A. Oliveira, A.L. Amaral, A.R.C. Rabbani, A.V.C. Silva and A.S. Ledo
Sugarcane (Saccharum sp, Poaceae) is native to Southeast Asia, and due to growing demand as raw material, its cultivation recently expanded to new frontiers. The genetic diversity analysis is essential for targeting strategies in the formation and maintenance of a germplasm. This study aimed to assess the genetic diversity of .. Read More»

Ewes carrying the Booroola and Vacaria prolificacy alleles respond differently to ovulation induction with equine chorionic gonadotrophin
Authors: J.C.F. Moraes and C.J.H. Souza
The magnitude of ovulation rate (OR) after hormonal induction in sheep should be considered when prolific genotypes are used. We investigated for the first time the effect of the Vacaria allele and its combined effect with the Booroola prolificacy mutation on OR after hormonal treatment during breeding and anoestrous season. A.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of Plathymenia reticulata Benth. in fragments of Atlantic Forest in southeastern Brazil
Authors: L.C. Souza, A.L. Silva J�ºnior, M.C. Souza, S.H. Kunz and F.D. Miranda
Studies of genetic diversity in natural populations are important for the definition of conservation strategies, especially in populations reduced by processes of fragmentation and continuous forest extraction. Molecular markers stand out as interesting tools for these studies. The objective of this research was to characteriz.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of Schizolobium parahyba var. amazonicum (Huber ex. Ducke) Barneby, in a forest area in Brazil
Authors: A.L. Silva J�ºnior, L.C. Souza, A.G. Pereira, M.V.W. Caldeira and F.D. Miranda
Schizolobium parahyba var. amazonicum (Fabaceae) is an arboreal species, endemic to the Amazon Rainforest, popularly known as paricá. It is used on a commercial scale in the timber sector, pulp and paper production, reclamation projects in degraded and landscaped areas. However, there is no availability of genetically i..

Fertility restoration locus and cytoplasm types in onion
Authors: R.R. Ferreira, C.A.F. Santos and V.R. Oliveira
The objective of this study was the identification of the cytoplasmic types and the genotyping for the fertility restoration nuclear locus (Ms) in 59 onion accessions, aiming at the selection of ‘A’ and ‘B’ lines essential for the obtainment of hybrids. Three markers were used to identify the cytoplasm .. Read More»

Mating system and intrapopulational genetic diversity of Copernicia prunifera (Arecaceae): a native palm from Brazilian semiarid
Authors: R.A.R. Silva, C.G. Fajardo and F.A. Vieira
The aim of this study was to investigate the mating system and genetic diversity of the palm Copernicia prunifera using inter-simple sequence repeat markers. We found that the C. prunifera has multiple inflorescences with hermaphroditic flowers and pollen viability of 62%. Outcrossing rates at the population level (N = 267) pr.. Read More»

Association between gastrointestinal cancers and fingerprint patterns in the Iranian population
Authors: S. Abbasi and M. Rasouli
Gastrointestinal cancers are malignant diseases with high mortality rate. Early diagnosis of patients could improve the results of treatment. Many studies used dermatoglyphics as a biomarker to predict the incidence of genetic diseases and cancers. This study assessed the association between gastrointestinal cancers and partic.. Read More»
