Genetic divergence among Brazilian garlic cultivars based on morphological characters and AFLP markers
Authors: R.G.F. Morales J.T.V. Resende F.V. Resende C.A. Delatorre A.S.T. Figueiredo P.R. Da-Silva
Outside its centers of origin, garlic propagates only asexually. Since asexual reproduction leads to the absence of meiotic recombination, the main garlic cultivars available for cultivation have arisen from the accumulation of somatic mutations in early cultivars. Thus, it is common for a single clone to have different names in different regions. This st.. Read More»

Validation of EST-derived microsatellite markers for two Cerrado-endemic Campomanesia (Myrtaceae) species
Authors: E.A.G.C. Miranda1, C.R.D. Boaventura-Novaes2, R.S. Braga1, E.F. Reis3,J.F.N. Pinto3 and M.P.C. Telles1
We assessed the transferability of 120 EST-derived Eucalyptus microsatellite primers to Campomanesia adamantium and C. pubescens. Both species are berry trees native to the Brazilian Cerrado, and population genetic information is poor. Twelve markers were used to analyze the genetic variability of four sampled populations. Regarding DNA extraction, we sam.. Read More»

RAPD-based study of genetic variation and relationships among wild fig genotypes in Turkey
Authors: M. Akbulut, S. Ercisli and H. Karlidag
The fig tree (Ficus carica L.) is of significant socio-economic importance in Turkey, with 25% of the world’s fig production. Genetic variation and relationships among 14 wild-grown figs sampled from Coruh Valley in Turkey were characterized by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD). Ninety-eight DNA fragments were scor..

SRAP analysis of genetic diversity of nine native populations of wild sugarcane, Saccharum spontaneum, from Sichuan, China
Authors: D. Chang, F.Y. Yang, J.J. Yan, Y.Q. Wu, S.Q. Bai, X.Z. Liang, Y.W. Zhang and Y.M. Gan
Saccharum spontaneum is a wild sugarcane species that is native to and widely distributed in China. It has been extensively used in sugarcane breeding programs, and is being tested for the development of bioenergy cultivars. In order to provide basic information for the exploitation of this species, we analyzed genetic variati.. Read More»

Characterization of eight novel microsatellite markers in the green-lipped mussel Perna viridis (Mytilidae)
Authors: Y.Y. Cao Z.B. Li Q.H. Li X.J. Chen L. Chen G. Dai
The green lipped mussel, also known as the Asian green mussel (Perna viridis) is a fast reproducing and valuable food source, but it is also considered an invasive species and can clog and damage pipes and marine equipment. Eight novel polymorphic microsatellite loci for P. viridis were isolated and characterized. Microsatellite polymorphism was evaluated.. Read More»

VEGF, eNOS, and ABCB1 genetic polymorphisms may increase the risk of osteonecrosis of the femoral head
Authors: Z.C. Zhou, S.Z. Gu, J. Wu and Q.W. Liang
We investigated the associations between vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGF), endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), and ATP-binding cassette subfamily B member 1 transporter (ABCB1) polymorphisms and the risk of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). Published studies were reviewed and analyzed based on predefined selection criteria. The str.. Read More»

Characterization of a rice germin-like protein gene promoter
Authors: T. Mahmood T. Yasmin M.I. Haque S.M.S. Naqvi
Germin and germin-like proteins (GLPs) are water-soluble extracellular proteins that are expressed in response to specific environmental and developmental signals. Although some enzymatic activities have also been associated with germin/GLPs, their role in overall metabolism is not fully understood. However, insight into their function may be gained by an..

Microsatellite markers for genetic studies of the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda
Authors: V.A.C. Pavinato S. Martinelli P.F. de Lima M.I. Zucchi C. Omoto
We developed six microsatellite markers for the fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). The SSR loci were isolated with enriched genomic library protocol by using native individuals as a genome source for markers. These loci were characterized in 48 individuals and they were tested for the ability to identify candidate migrants excha.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of Setipinna taty (Engraulidae) populations from the China Sea based on mitochondrial DNA control region sequences
Authors: H.Y. Li, T.J. Xu, Y.Z. Cheng, D.Q. Sun and R.X. Wang
The genetic diversity of Setipinna taty, which is commercially fished in the China Sea, was studied based on mitochondrial DNA control region sequences. PCR was used to amplify the control region fragment in 100 individuals of S. taty collected from Weihai (WH), Yantai (YT), Zhoushan (ZS), Xiangshan (XS), and Ninghai (NH) in C.. Read More»

Identification and characterization of the duck enteritis virus (DEV) US2 gene
Authors: J. Gao, A.C. Cheng, M.S. Wang, R.Y. Jia, D.K. Zhu, S. Chen, M.F. Liu, F. Liu, Q. Yang, K.F. Sun and X.Y. Chen
The US2 protein has been reported to contribute to duck enteritis virus (DEV) infection; however, its kinetics and localization during infection, and whether it is a component of virion, have not been previously reported. To elucidate the function of DEV US2, US2 was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and inserted into pET-32a(+); this was expre.. Read More»
