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»

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»

Phenotypic and RAPD diversity among 80 germplasm accessions of the medicinal plant isabgol (Plantago ovata, Plantaginaceae)
Authors: N. Singh, R.K. Lal and A.K. Shasany
Plantago ovata, popularly known as isabgol, has great commercial and medicinal importance due to thin rosy white membranous seed husk. Isabgol seeds and husks have emollient, demulcent and laxative properties. We used both biometric and molecular techniques to assess the genetic variability and relatedness of 80 germplasm acce..

An assessment of genetic variability and relationships among wild-grown blackthorn (Prunus spinosa L.) plants based on RAPD markers
Authors: Y. Erturk, S. Ercisli, D. Maghradze, E. Orhan and G. Agar
Prunus spinosa, blackthorn, exists as wild populations that inhabit uncultivated uplands of Coruh Valley in the northeastern part of Turkey; the fruit is used to make preserves. We examined genetic diversity in wild-grown Prunus spinosa; 16 individual plants from wild populations of Coruh Valley were sampled and subjected to R.. Read More»

Multivariate analysis to determine the genetic distance among backcross papaya (Carica papaya) progenies
Authors: H.C.C. Ramos, M.G. Pereira, L.S.A. Gon�§alves, A.P.C.G. Berilli, F.O. Pinto and E.H. Ribeiro
Morpho-agronomic and molecular (RAPD and ISSR markers) data were used to evaluate genetic distances between papaya backcross progenies in order to help identify agronomically superior genotypes. Thirty-two papaya progenies were evaluated based on 15 morpho-agronomic characteristics, 20 ISSR and 19 RAPD primers. Manhattan, Jacc.. Read More»

Genetic diversity analysis of isolates of the fungal bean pathogen Pseudocercospora griseola from central and southern Brazil
Authors: A.K.R. Abadio, S.S. Lima, M.F. Santana, T.M.F. Salom�£o, A. Sartorato, E.S.G. Mizubuti, E.F. Ara�ºjo and M.V. de Queiroz
Planting resistant varieties is the most effective control measure against the angular leaf spot of dry beans, a fungal disease caused by Pseudocercospora griseola. However, dry bean varieties with durable resistance are not easily obtained. Knowledge about the genetic variability of the pathogen population is key for the succ.. Read More»

Genome-wide identification and characterization of simple sequence repeat loci in grape phylloxera, Daktulosphaira vitifoliae
Authors: H. Lin, M.S. Islam and D.W. Ramming
A genome-wide sequence search was conducted to identify simple sequence repeat (SSR) loci in phylloxera, Daktulosphaira vitifoliae, a major grape pest throughout the world. Collectively, 1524 SSR loci containing mono-, di-, tri-, tetra-, penta-, and hexanucleotide motifs were identified. Among them, trinucleotide repeats were .. Read More»

Multivariate approach in popcorn genotypes using the Ward-MLM strategy: morpho-agronomic analysis and incidence of Fusarium spp
Authors: R.N.F. Kurosawa, A.T. do Amaral Junior, F.H.L. Silva, A. dos Santos,M. Vivas, S.H. Kamphorst and G.F. Pena
The multivariate analyses are useful tools to estimate the genetic variability between accessions. In the breeding programs, the Ward-Modified Location Model (MLM) multivariate method has been a powerful strategy to quantify variability using quantitative and qualitative variables simultaneously. The present study was proposed.. Read More»

Analysis of the genetic diversity of Lonicera japonica Thumb. using inter-simple sequence repeat markers
Authors: H.Y. He, D. Zhang, H. Qing and Y. Yang
Inter-simple sequence repeats (ISSRs) were used to analyze the genetic diversity of 21 accessions obtained from four provinces in China, Shandong, Henan, Hebei, and Sichuan. A total of 272 scored bands were generated using the eight primers previously screened across 21 accessions, of which 267 were polymorphic (98.16%). Genet.. Read More»
