Genetic diversity and assessment of 23 microsatellite markers for parentage testing of Santa In�ªs hair sheep in Brazil
Authors: C.A. Souza, S.R. Paiva, C.M. McManus, H.C. Azevedo, A.S. Mariante and D. Grattapaglia
Santa Inês is the most common hair sheep breed in Brazil and probably has the highest genetic diversity among sheep breeds in this country. Successful breeding programs for Brazilian sheep breeds are not common for various reasons, including a lack of control of parentage in the flocks. We developed an allele frequency d.. Read More»

Use of simple sequence repeat markers for DNA fingerprinting and diversity analysis of sugarcane (Saccharum spp) cultivars resistant and susceptible to red rot
Authors: U. Hameed, Y.-B. Pan, K. Muhammad, S. Afghan and J. Iqbal
Red rod is an economically important disease of sugarcane caused by the fungus Colletotrichum falcatum. We used a simple sequence repeat (SSR)-based marker system to identify and analyze genetic relationships of red rot resistant and susceptible sugarcane cultivars grown in Pakistan. Twenty-one highly polymorphic SSR markers w.. Read More»

Frequency of alterations in the MEFV gene and clinical signs in familial Mediterranean fever in Central Anatolia, Turkey
Authors: G.G. Ceylan, C. Ceylan and E. Ozturk
Familial Mediterranean fever is a recessive autoinflammatory disease that is frequent in Armenians, Jews, Arabs, and Turks. The MEFV gene is responsible for this disease. We looked for MEFV gene variations (polymorphism and mutations) in a population that resides in Central Anatolia, Turkey. DNA was extracted from peripheral b.. Read More»

Genetic relationships in a germplasm collection of Camellia japonica and Camellia oleifera using SSR analysis
Authors: Y. Zhao, C.J. Ruan, G.J. Ding and S. Mopper
Camellia japonica produces different color and bigger flowers, widely being used for gardening green in southern China. However, cultivars were introduced from different regions, but their origin and pedigree information is either not available poorly documented, causing problems in authentication. Many low-yield trees in Came.. Read More»

Comparative evaluation of total RNA extraction methods in Theobroma cacao using shoot apical meristems
Authors: D.V. Silva1, S.M.J. Branco1, I.S.A. Holanda2, S. Royaert3, J.C. Motamayor4,J.P. Marelli4 and R.X. Corr�ªa5
Theobroma cacao is a species of great economic importance with its beans used for chocolate production. The tree has been a target of various molecular studies. It contains many polyphenols, which complicate the extraction of nucleic acids with the extraction protocols requiring a large amount of plant material. These issues, therefore, necessitate the op..

Tea (Camellia sinensis L.) is a thermophilic evergreen woody plant that has poor cold tolerance. The SAD gene plays a key role in regulating fatty acid synthesis and membrane lipid fluidity in response to temperature change. In this study, full-length SAD cDNA was cloned from tea leaves using rapid amplification of cDNA ends and polymerase chain reaction .. Read More»
