Authors: L.-K. Huang, X.-Q. Zhang, W.-G. Xie, J. Zhang, L. Cheng and H.D. Yan
Hemarthria compressa is one of the most important and widely utilized forage crops in south China, owing to its high forage yield and capability of adaptation to hot and humid conditions. We examined the population structure and genetic variation within and among 12 populations of H. compressa in south China using sequence-related amplified polymorphism (.. Read More»

Fine-scale spatial genetic structure of an endangered marsh herb, Caldesia grandis (Alismataceae)
Authors: X.-L. Yue, J.-M. Chen, Y.-H. Guo and Q.-F. Wang2
The endangered marsh herb, Caldesia grandis, is native to China. We investigated the spatial structure of the genetic variation of three populations of C. grandis using RAPD markers and spatial autocorrelation analysis, based on the method of equal distance interval. A total of 157 individuals were sampled from four patches collected from the region of Hu.. Read More»

Morphological traits and RAPD markers for characterization and identification of minor Spanish olive cultivars from the Extremadura region
Authors: M.C. Parra-Lobato, F.J. Delgado-Martinez and M.C. Gomez-Jimenez
A total of 91 wild olive accessions and 31 olive cultivars growing in the Extremadura region of central-western Spain were analyzed using morphological traits and RAPD markers. We focused on three main and 16 minor Spanish olive cultivars that are recognized as native or local to the Extremadura region. The five arbitrary 10-mer primers tested on the oliv.. Read More»

Verification and evaluation of grain QTLs using RILs from TD70 x Kasalath in rice
Authors: Y.D. Zhang, J. Zheng, Z.K. Liang, Y.L. Liang, Z.H. Peng and C.L. Wang
Grain size is an important trait that directly influences the yield of rice. Validation and evaluation of grain genes is important in rice genetic studies and for breeding. In a population of 240 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from a cross between an extra-large grain japonica variety TD70 and a small grain .. Read More»

Authors: L.F.R. Ferreira, K.M.R. Duarte, L.H. Gomes, R.S. Carvalho, G.A. Leal Junior, M.M. Aguiar, R.D. Armas and F.C.A. Tavares
The causal agent of witches’ broom disease, Moniliophthora perniciosa is a hemibiotrophic and endemic fungus of the Amazon basin and the most important cocoa disease in Brazil. The purpose of this study was to analyze the genetic diversity of polysporic isolates of M. perniciosa to evaluate the adaptation of the pathogen from different Brazilian reg.. Read More»

Testis-specific serine kinases (TSSKs) are a family of serine/threonine kinases highly expressed in the testes that are responsible for regulating many spermatogenesis-related protein activities. Mutations in this family have a positive relationship with oligospermia and azoospermia in human and mouse. Here, five members of th.. Read More»

Association of neuropeptide Y and gonadotrophin-releasing hormone receptor gene SNPs with breeding value for growth and egg production traits in Mazandaran native chickens
Authors: S.A. Fatemi, H. Mehrabani-Yeganeh, A. Nejati-Javaremi and Sh. Niknafs
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) and gonadotrophin-releasing hormone receptor (GnRHR) are two candidate genes with a wide variety of physiological functions in growth and especially in reproduction processes. We examined the association of one SNP from each of these genes with growth- and egg production-related traits in Mazandaran native chickens. Two hundred and si.. Read More»

Nine polymorphic STR loci in the HLA region in the Shaanxi Han population of China
Authors: H.B. Zhang, S.G. Wei, B. Yu, L. Li and J.H. Lai
A large number of microsatellite genetic markers have been identified in the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) region. We investigated genetic polymorphism of the nine short tandem repeat (STR) loci (D6S276, MOGCA, D6S265, MIB, D6S273, G51152, TAP1CA, RING3CA, and D6S291) in the HLA region in the Shaanxi Han population. Using a fluorescence-labeled multiplex-.. Read More»

Mapping of HtNB, a gene conferring non-lesion resistance before heading to Exserohilum turcicum (Pass.), in a maize inbred line derived from the Indonesian variety Bramadi
Authors: H. Wang, Z.X. Xiao, F.G. Wang, Y.N. Xiao, J.R. Zhao, Y.L. Zheng and F.Z. Qiu
The gene HtNB confers non-lesion resistance to the fungal pathogen Exserohilum turcicum in maize. To map this gene, we developed two F2 populations, P111 (resistant line) x HuangZao 4 (susceptible line) and P111 x B73 (susceptible). HtNB was located on chromosome 8.07 bin, flanked by MAC216826-4 and umc2218 at distances of 3.3 and 3.4 cM, respectively. Ht.. Read More»
