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»

Transferability of microsatellite markers in Syagrus coronata (Mart.) Becc. (Arecaceae), an iconic palm tree from the Brazilian semiarid region
Authors: R.R. Simplicio, D.G. Pereira and A.M. Waldschmidt
The licuri palm Syagrus coronata plays a key role in the ecology and economy of Brazilian semiarid region. Nonetheless, genetic data about populations of this species are absent even though the intensive and uncontrolled exploitation since colonial periods has threatened the sustainability and viability of licuri populations. ..

Determination of the genetic diversity among accessions of Senna spectabilis (canafÃ?Âstula) by using RAPD markers
Authors: M.F. Santos1, R.B. Ara�ºjo Neto2, M.P.S.B.C. Nascimento2 and P.S.C. Lima2
Senna spectabilis (DC.) H.S. Irwin & Barneby (Fabaceae; Caesalpinioideae), commonly known as “canafístula” or “cassia”, is widely used in the semi-arid region of northeastern Brazil as a source of forage and timber. The plant presents a high nutritional content in comparison with other forage species that are native to t.. Read More»

Development and characterization of microsatellite markers for Brazilian four-eyed frogs (genus Pleurodema) endemic to the Caatinga biome
Authors: M.T.C. Thom�©, J. Alexandrino, S. Lopes, C.F.B. Haddad and F. Sequeira
We used pyrosequencing to develop microsatellite markers for the Brazilian four-eyed frog Pleurodema diplolister and tested the microsatellite markers for cross-amplification in its sister Pleurodema alium, which are both endemic species of the Caatinga biome in northeastern Brazil. We used multiplex sets to amplify and genoty.. Read More»
