Genetic Diversity
Development and Transferability of Microsatellites Markers for Species of the Saltans Group of Drosophila (Diptera: Drosophilidae)
Authors: B.E. Roman, B.M. Trava and L. Madi-Ravazzi
The microsatellite markers (SSRs) are highly polymorphic, fast evolving, and regarded as neutral markers. Due to these traits, they have been widely used in population studies. The development of specific SSRs for a given species opens possibilities for the application, by means of transferability, in population studies of other species that are phylogene.. Read More»

Analysis of the molecular diversity of R. solani isolates from five Ugandan agro-ecological zones using inter - simple sequence repeat markers
Authors: A.S. Male , F. Kato, P. Paparu and C.M. Mukankusi
This study used seven inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers to characterize 55 R. solani isolates in order to establish their genetic diversity. The isolates were from five common bean growing agro-ecological zones of Uganda; the Southwest highlands (SW), Lake Victoria crescent and Mbale farmlands (LVC), Teso farming system (TFS), the Northern mixed..

Genetic and phenotypic association of the carnauba palm tree evaluated by inter-simple sequence repeat and biometric traits
Authors: C.G. Fajardo, R.A.R. Silva, K.P.T. Chagas, F.A. Vieira
The carnauba palm Copernicia prunifera is the third most important non-timber forest species in Brazil; it is mainly known for the production of carnauba wax. We examined intrapopulation genetic diversity and correlated genotypic and phenotypic traits of 28 trees from a coastal location in Rio Grande do Norte state. Phenotypic.. Read More»

Morphological and molecular characterization of maize inbred lines showing variability for drought tolerance
Authors: Asima Gazal, F.A. Nehvi, Ajaz Ahmad Lone, Zahoor Ahmed Dar
A set of hundred maize inbred lines were analyzed for resilience to moisture stress for twenty-four traits related to maturity, morphological, physiological, yield, quality and root traits. Evaluation confirmed a wide range of variability revealing significant response of main effects (lines, irrigations and years and their re.. Read More»

New insights into the genetic diversity and species identification of the native apricots in Southern Xinjiang of China
Authors: Ling Guo, Hui Li, Zheng-rong Luoa
Apricot is a staple stone fruit crop cultivated in Southern Xinjiang of China. This crop is important for the rural communities, as they generate significant employment and income. Here, seventy-eight apricot genotypes, including seventy-six common apricots (Prunus armeniaca L.) and two purple apricots (Prunus dasycarpa Ehrh.).. Read More»

Molecular Characterization and Differential Interaction of Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. phaseoli and Xanthomonas fuscans subsp. fuscans with Common Beans (Phaseolus vulgaris)
Authors: De Paiva BAR, Wendland A , Borba TC , Ara�ºjo LG
The common bacterial blight, caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. phaseoli (Xap) and X. fuscans subsp. fuscans (Xff), is one of the most important dry bean diseases of bacterial etiology. The present work aimed to study the genetic structure among and within populations, and also identify the pathogenic variability of Xap and .. Read More»

Parapatric speciation found in Limnonectes (Dicroglossidae) species in Thailand
Authors: Pimwipa Teerawarunyoo, Chatmongkon Suwannapoom, Phuping Sucharitakul, Kittisak Buddhachat, Waranee Pradit, Korakot Nganvongpanit and Siriwadee Chomdej
Biodiversity stems from speciation, and species identification allows scientists to measure species biodiversity. However, some closely related species, particularly amphibians that choose to inhabit the same environment, are difficult to identify. Juvenile specimens of Limnonectes gyldenstolpei (Lg) and L. taylori (Lt) were u.. Read More»
