Evaluation of genetic diversity in Chinese kale (Brassica oleracea L. var. alboglabra Bailey) by using rapid amplified polymorphic DNA and sequence-related amplified polymorphism markers
Authors: J. Zhang and L.G. Zhang1
Chinese kale is an original Chinese vegetable of the Cruciferae family. To select suitable parents for hybrid breeding, we thoroughly analyzed the genetic diversity of Chinese kale. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) molecular markers were used to evaluate the genetic div.. Read More»

Selection of high heterozygosity popcorn varieties in Brazil based on SSR markers
Authors: I.B.O. Eloi, C.A. Mangolin, C.A. Scapim, C.S. Gon�§alves and M.F.P.S. Machado
We analyzed genetic structure and diversity among eight populations of popcorn, using SSR loci as genetic markers. Our objectives were to select SSR loci that could be used to estimate genetic diversity within popcorn populations, and to analyze the genetic structure of promising populations with high levels of heterozygosity ..

Association of RGA-SSCP markers with resistance to downy mildew and anthracnose in grapevines
Authors: P.A. Tantasawat, O. Poolsawat, T. Prajongjai, W. Chaowiset and A. Tharapreuksapong
Downy mildew (Plasmopara viticola) and anthracnose (Sphaceloma ampelinum) are two major diseases that severely affect most grapevine (Vitis vinifera) cultivars grown commercially in Thailand. Progress of conventional breeding programs of grapevine for improved resistance to these diseases can be speeded up by selection of mole.. Read More»

Mendelian inheritance, linkage and genotypic disequilibrium in microsatellite loci isolated from Hymenaea courbaril (Leguminosae)
Authors: F.S. Carneiro, A.E.B. Lacerda, M.R. Lemes, R. Gribel, M. Kanashiro and A.M. Sebbenn
The Neotropical tree Hymenaea courbaril, locally known as Jatobá, is a valuable source of lumber and also produces comestible and medicinal fruit. We characterized Mendelian inheritance, linkage and genotypic disequilibrium at nine microsatellite loci isolated from H. courbaril, in order to determine if they would provi.. Read More»

DNA barcoding of arid wild plants using rbcL gene sequences
Authors: S.O. Bafeel, I.A. Arif, M.A. Bakir, A.A. Al Homaidan, A.H. Al Farhan and H.A. Khan
DNA barcoding is currently gaining popularity due to its simplicity and high accuracy as compared to the complexity and subjective biases associated with morphology-based identification of taxa. The standard chloroplast DNA barcode for land plants recommended by the Consortium for the Barcode of Life (CBOL) plant working group.. Read More»

Johanson-Blizzard syndrome: a report of gender-discordant twins with a novel UBR1 mutation
Authors: C.R. Quaio, Y.K. Koda, D.R. Bertola, M. Sukalo, M. Zenker and C.A. Kim
Johanson-Blizzard syndrome (JBS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder resulting from loss-of-function mutations in the UBR1 gene. JBS can be easily recognized by its unique clinical presentation (including exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, hypoplasia/aplasia of the alae nasi, congenital scalp defects, sensorineural hearing ..

FastJoin, an improved neighbor-joining algorithm
Authors: J. Wang, M.-Z. Guo and L.L. Xing
Reconstructing the evolutionary history of a set of species is an elementary problem in biology, and methods for solving this problem are evaluated based on two characteristics: accuracy and efficiency. Neighbor-joining reconstructs phylogenetic trees by iteratively picking a pair of nodes to merge as a new node until only one.. Read More»

Genetic relationships of Pacific abalone (Haliotidae) species determined using universal rice primer-polymerase chain reaction fingerprinting
Authors: H.S. An, J.Y. Park, J.I. Myeong and C.M. An
Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) with universal rice primers (URP) was used to identify species and to determine phylogenetic relationships for the 6 economically important Korean Pacific abalone species: Haliotis discus hannai, H. discus discus, H. madaka, H. gigantea, H. diversicolor supertexta, and H. diversicolor diversicolor, whose morphologic..

Genetic characterization of Red Junglefowl (Gallus gallus), Thai indigenous chicken (Gallus domesticus), and two commercial lines using selective functional genes compared to microsatellite markers
Authors: P. Akaboot, M. Duangjinda, Y. Phasuk, C. Kaenchan and W. Chinchiyanond
Genetic characterization among Red Junglefowl (GS, Gallus gallus spadiceus), Thai indigenous chicken (TIC, Gallus domesticus) and commercial lines has been widely used for studies of genealogical origin, genetic diversity, and effects of selection. We compared the efficiency of genetic characterization of chicken populations t.. Read More»
