Genetic variation among quince(Cydonia oblonga Mill.) genotypes sampled from the Coruh valley in Turkey
Authors: E. Orhan G. Nardemir, G. Agarand S. Ercisli
Turkey has very rich quince genetic resources, and the country currently dominates world quince production. In particular, the northeastern part of the country has notable Cydonia oblonga Mill. germplasm. Authenticating the identity of germplasm resources of C. oblonga Mill. would be of great value for breeding practices. In t.. Read More»

Development of simple sequence repeat markers in persimmon (Diospyros L.) and their potential use in related species
Authors: Y. Yang, Z.B. Jing, X.F. Ruan and J.M. Cheng
Persimmon (Diospyros L.) is an economically important fruit in the world, and it has been recognized as a healthy nutrient supply for human consumption. In this study, 14 microsatellite markers were developed from an AG/TC and AC/TG-enriched genomic library of Chinese persimmon Mopanshi. Twelve polymorphic markers were selected in 4 related species; these.. Read More»

Myrciaria dubia, an Amazonian fruit: population structure and its implications for germplasm conservation and genetic improvement
Authors: C.F. Nunes, T.A. Setotaw, M. Pasqual, E.A. Chagas, E.G. Santos,D.N. Santos, C.G.B. Lima, G.M.A. Can�§ado
Myrciaria dubia (camu-camu) is an Amazon tree that produces a tart fruit with high vitamin C content. It is probably the fruit with the highest vitamin C content among all Brazilian fruit crops and it can be used to supplement daily vitamin C dose. This property has attracted the attention of consumers and, consequently, encou.. Read More»

Brazil has about 300 Croton species in different types of vegetation. Croton tetradenius Baill., which is endemic to the Northeast region and predominant in the Caatinga vegetation, stands out among the several species of this genus. Considering the importance of knowing the genetic variability of a species, the objective of t.. Read More»

Development and characterization of nine polymorphic microsatellites for the small brown planthopper Laodelphax striatellus (Hemiptera: Delphacidae)
Authors: J.-T. Sun, J.-B. Li, X.-M. Yang and X.-Y. Hong
Nine microsatellite loci were isolated from the genome of Laodelphax striatellus (Homoptera: Delphacidae) by constructing (TC)6(AC)5 and (AG)6(AC)5 compound SSR-enriched libraries using suppression-PCR procedures. These loci were found to be highly polymorphic, with 13 to 30 alleles per locus in the three populations that we i.. Read More»

Analysis of genetic diversity of salt-tolerant alfalfa germplasms
Authors: J. Jiang, B.L. Yang, T. Xia, S.M. Yu, Y.N. Wu, H. Jin and J.R. Li
Random amplified polymorphic DNA technology was used to analyze the genetic diversity of 25 salt-tolerant alfalfa varieties using 30 different primers. Results showed that the percentage of polymorphic loci between single-plant DNA was 81.52%, and that between mixed DNA of various varieties was 61.65%. Compared to the mixed DNA samples, single-plant DNA s.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of microsatellite DNA loci from the peanut worm, Sipunculus nudus
Authors: Q.H. Wang, Y.S. Guo, Z.D. Wang, X.D. Du and Y.W. Deng
Sipunculus nudus, the peanut worm, is the best known species in its genus. This unsegmented subtidal marine worm is consumed in some parts of Asia and is also used as fish bait. We found 20 microsatellite DNA markers for S. nudus. The number of alleles per polymorphic locus ranged from two to seven in a sample of 39 individual.. Read More»
