Interactions among methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) and cystathionine �²-synthase (CBS) polymorphisms - a cross-sectional study: multiple heterozygosis as a risk factor for higher homocysteine levels and vaso-occlusive episodes
Authors: F.M. Amaral, A.L. Miranda-Vilela, G.S. Lordelo, I.F. Ribeiro, M.B. Daldegan and C.K. Grisolia
High plasma homocysteine (Hcy) âÂ?Â?âÂ?Â?levels may be responsible for vaso-occlusive episodes and may have acquired and/or genetic causes. This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the role of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR; C677T; A1298C) and cystathionine-β-synthase (CBS; T833C/844ins68, G919A) poly.. Read More»

Molecular marker-based genetic diversity analysis of scantly studied Brazilian accessions of a medicinal plant, Morinda citrifolia L. (noni)
Authors: P.N. Bordallo, A.M.R. Monteiro, J.A. Sousa and F.A.S. Arag�£o
Morinda citrifolia L., commonly known as noni, has been used for the treatment of various diseases for over two centuries. It was introduced and widely disseminated in Brazil because of its high market value and ease of adaptation to the soil and climatic conditions of the country. The aim of this study was to estimate the gen.. Read More»

Identification of Magnolia wufengensis (Magnoliaceae) cultivars using phenotypic traits, SSR and SRAP markers: insights into breeding and conservation
Authors: L. Wang, A.H. Xiao, L.Y. Ma, F.J. Chen, Z.Y. Sang and J. Duan
A combination of phenotypic characterization and molecular markers may provide reliable information on new plant varieties and elucidate the conservation status of rare species. Five newly developed Magnolia wufengensis cultivars, an endangered plant species endemic to Hubei Province, China, possess more distinctive phenotypes.. Read More»

Inter- and intra-specific genetic diversity of Iranian yarrow species Achillea santolina and Achillea tenuifolia based on ISSR and RAPD markers
Authors: M. Ebrahimi M. Farajpour M. Rahimmalek
Cultivation and preservation of yarrow has recently attracted wide attention due to its beneficial properties; however, genetic variation of Achillea species is still relatively unknown. We used RAPD and ISSR markers to assess genetic diversity in 16 accessions of yarrow belonging to two species native to Iran. Seven ISSR and nine RAPD primers generated 1.. Read More»

Molecular characterization of wheat germplasm using microsatellite markers
Authors: S. Ijaz and I.A. Khan
We investigated the genetic diversity of 63 wheat genotypes, composed of 48 accessions and 15 varieties, using 56 polymorphic simple sequence repeat primers. One hundred and eighty-six loci were found, with a mean of 131.26 alleles per locus. Cluster analysis based on microsatellite allelic diversity discriminated the accessions and varieties into di..

Population genetic analysis and conservation strategies for redtail shrimp Fenneropenaeus penicillatus using ten microsatellite markers
Authors: Y.Y. Cao, J.B. Shangguan, Z.B. Li
Fenneropenaeus penicillatus, which is on the Red List of Endangered Species for China, is an important shrimp species. However, there is not enough genetic information on F. penicillatus for conservation and management purposes. Ten microsatellite markers were used to analyze the genetic diversity, genetic differentiation, and.. Read More»

Frequency of the S65C mutation in the hemochromatosis gene in Brazil
Authors: V.C. Oliveira1,2, F.A. Caxito1, K.B. Gomes3 , A.M. Castro1,V.C. Pardini1 and A.C.S. Ferreira1,2
Development of hereditary hemochromatosis is associated with the C282Y, H63D or S65C mutations in the hemochromatosis gene. Though there is extensive knowledge about the former two, there is little information on the mechanism of action and the allelic frequency of the S65C mutation. We examined the prevalence of the S65C mutation of the hemochr.. Read More»
