Development and characterization of new microsatellites for Eugenia dysenterica DC (Myrtaceae)

Authors: M.P.C. Telles, J.B. Silva, L.V. Resende, R.P. Vianello, L.J. Chaves, T.N. Soares and R.G. Collevatti

Microsatellite markers were developed for population genetic analyses of the Neotropical tree Eugenia dysenterica DC (Myrtaceae), after construction of a shotgun genomic library for microsatellite discovery. Nine primers were designed, of which 5 yielded amplified product. These primers were polymorphic for 97 individuals collected in 3 distinct localitie.. Read More»

Genetic improvement of plant architecture in the common bean

Authors: V.M.P. Silva, J.A.N. Menezes J�ºnior, P.C.S. Carneiro2, J.E.S. Carneiro and C.D. Cruz

Knowledge of genetic control of plant architecture in the common bean can help breeders define the most adequate breeding strategy to optimize gains. We examined genetic control of plant architecture in the common bean by means of partial diallel crosses. Fourteen bean lines were crossed under a partial diallel scheme, in which group 1 was composed of 8 e.. Read More»

Virulence and genetic diversity among isolates of Mycosphaerella fijiensis in two regions of Brazil

Authors: G.F. Silva, V.S. Santos, N.R. Sousa, R.E. Hanada and L. Gasparotto

Black sigatoka, caused by the fungus Mycosphaerella fijiensis (anamorphic stage: Paracercospora fijiensis), was first detected in Brazil in early 1998 in the Benjamin Constant and Tabatinga municipalities in the State of Amazonas, near to where the borders of Brazil, Colombia, and Peru converge. Understanding how cultivars rea.. Read More»

Association of APOA1 gene polymorphisms (rs670, rs5069, and rs2070665) with dyslipidemia in the Kazakhs of Xinjiang

Authors: D.W. Feng, R.L. Ma, H. Guo, J. He, Y.Z. Yan, Muratbek, Q. Niu,S.G. Li, D.S. Rui, F. Sun, M. Zhang, J.Y. Zhang, Y.S. Ding, J.M. Liu, K. Wang and S.X. Guo

The aim of this study was to investigate the potential association between apolipoprotein A1 (APOA1) gene rs670, rs5069, and rs2070665 polymorphisms and dyslipidemia in the Kazakh population of Xinjiang, China. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) was used to identify APOA.. Read More»

Genetic background of Citrus nobilis Lour. �Gonggan� based on the chloroplast trnL gene

Authors: Y.-J. Guo, Q.-H. Ji, X.-Q. Zhou, Y.-P. Hu, L.-Y. Guo, H. Jiang and J.-W. Zeng

The genetic backgrounds of many Citrus varieties are quite complex. Classifications and phylogenetic relationships of Citrus species have become the focus of researchs. Some conserved genes of chloroplast genome’s research have been proven effective in determining the biosources of hybrids and phylogenetic analysis. Thus, we studied variations among.. Read More»

Molecular cloning and expression of epsilon toxin from Clostridium perfringens type D and tests of animal immunization

Authors: A.M. Souza, J.K.P. Reis, R.A. Assis, C.C. Horta, F.F. Siqueira, S. Facchin, E.R. Alvarenga, C.S. Castro, F.M. Salvarani2, R.O.S. Silva, P.S. Pires, C. Contigli, F.C.F. Lobato and E. Kalapothakis

Epsilon toxin produced by Clostridium perfringens types B and D causes enterotoxemia in sheep, goats and calves. Enterotoxemia can cause acute or superacute disease, with sudden death of the affected animal. It provokes huge economic losses when large numbers of livestock are affected. Therapeutic intervention is challenging, .. Read More»

Transferability and characterization of microssatellite loci in Anacardium humile A. St. Hil. (Anacardiaceae)

Authors: T.N. Soares, L.L. Sant�Ana, L.K. de Oliveira, M.P.C. Telles and R.G. Collevatti

Microsatellite markers were transferred from the cashew, Anarcadium occidentale, to Anacardium humile (Anacardiaceae), a Neotropical shrub from the Brazilian savanna, that produces an edible nut and pseudo-fruit. We tested 14 microsatellite primers from A. occidentale on A. humile. Polymorphism of each microsatellite locus was analyzed based on 58 individ.. Read More»

Interpretation of electrophoretograms of seven microsatellite loci to determine the genetic diversity of the Arabian Oryx

Authors: I.A. Arif, H.A. Khan, M. Shobrak, A.A. Al Homaidan, M. Al Sadoon, A.H. Al Farhan and A.H. Bahkali

Microsatellite markers are commonly used for examining population structure, especially inbreeding, outbreeding and gene flow. An array of microsatellite loci, preferably with multiallelic presentation, is preferable for ensuring accurate results. However, artifact peaks or stutters in the electrophoretograms significantly ham.. Read More»

Molecular epidemiology of HFE gene polymorphic variants (C282Y, H63D and S65C) in the population of Esp�­rito Santo, Brazil

Authors: L.N.R. Alves, E.V.W. Santos, E. Stur, A.M.A. Silva Conforti and I.D. Louro

Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) is an autosomal recessive disorder that leads to progressive iron accumulation and may cause cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, diabetes, and heart failure. Most cases of HH have been linked to mutations in genes associated with iron homeostasis. There have been three major variants in the hig.. Read More»
