Evaluation of insertion-deletion markers suitable for genetic diversity studies and marker-trait correlation analyses in cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.)

Authors: S. Meng, X.L. Yang, P.M. Dang, S.L. Cui, G.J. Mu, C.Y. Chen and L.F. Liu

Peanut is one of the most important oil crops worldwide. We used insertion-deletion (InDel) markers to assess the genetic diversity and population structure in cultivated peanut. Fifty-four accessions from North China were genotyped using 48 InDel markers. The markers amplified 61 polymorphic loci with 1 to 8 alleles and an average of 2.6 alleles per mark.. Read More»

Sampling strategies for natural Toona ciliata populations

Authors: J. Liu and J.M. Jiang

The genetic diversity and spatial autocorrelation of Toona ciliata populations were analyzed with eight microsatellite markers to determine an appropriate sampling strategy for the effective conservation of natural T. ciliata populations. The average number of alleles and effective number of alleles were 6.1 and 2.7, respectiv.. Read More»

Correlation analysis of genetic diversity and population structure of Houttuynia cordata Thunb with regard to environment

Authors: J. Zhong, F.-C. Wu, P. Qiu and L.-J. Dai

To study the levels of genetic diversity, and population structure, of Houttuynia cordata Thunb, the genetic background and relationships of populations were analyzed in terms of environmental factors. The genetic diversity and population structure of H. cordata were investigated using sequence-related amplified polymorphisms and correlation with environm.. Read More»

Correlation between gene polymorphisms of CYP1A1, GSTP1, ERCC2, XRCC1, and XRCC3 and susceptibility to lung cancer

Authors: H.X. Liu, J. Li and B.G. Ye

Lung cancer is a common malignant tumor that is characterized by high morbidity and poor prognosis. Studies suggest that an individual’s genetic background affects the risk of developing lung cancer. Therefore, we investigated the relationship between gene polymorphisms and susceptibility to lung cancer. We recruited 308.. Read More»

Optimization of selective breeding through analysis of morphological traits in Chinese sea bass (Lateolabrax maculatus)

Authors: W. Wang, C.Y. Ma, W. Chen, H.Y. Ma, H. Zhang, Y.Y. Meng, Y. Ni and L.B. Ma

Determining correlations between certain traits of economic importance constitutes an essential component of selective activities. In this study, our aim was to provide effective indicators for breeding programs of Lateolabrax maculatus, an important aquaculture species in China. We analyzed correlations between 20 morphometric traits and body weight, usi.. Read More»

(Co)variance components and genetic parameters for growth traits in Arabi sheep using different animal models

Authors: B. Shokrollahi and H. Baneh

The objective of the present study was to estimate genetic parameters for body weight at different ages in Arabi sheep using data collected from 1999 to 2009. Investigated traits consisted of birth weight (N = 2776), weaning weight (N = 2002) and weight at six months of age (N = 1885). The data were analyzed using restricted m.. Read More»

RAPD-based genetic diversities and correlation with morphological traits in Camellia (Theaceae) cultivars in China

Authors: X.F. Wang, H.Y. Zheng, W.H. Zheng, C.Q. Ao, H.Y. Jin, L.H. Zhao, N. Li and L.R. Jia

Camellia is an economically important ornamental plant that has many uses, such as in beverages, foods and medicines. We examined 15 Camellia cultivars in Wenzhou, China, using RAPD markers and measurements of three traits (petal color, flower diameter, blooming period). PCR amplification with 15 random primers produced 1935 b.. Read More»
