Authors: X.F. Zheng, Y.N. You, Y. Diao, X.W. Zheng, K.Q. Xie, M.Q. Zhou, Z.L. Hu and Y.W. Wang
Nelumbo nucifera is an important economic vegetable and traditional medicine, but available genetic resources remain limited. Next generation sequencing has proven to be a rapid and effective means of identifying genic simple sequence repeat (genic-SSR) markers. This study developed genic-SSRs for N. nucifera using Illumina sequencing technology to assess.. Read More»

Genetic diversity and historical demography of the narrow-range endemic Alpine toad, Scutiger liupanensis, in the Liupan Mountains of central China
Authors: L.-N. Su, H.-Z. Meng and X.-C. Li
The genetic diversity and historical demography of the narrow-range endemic Alpine toad, Scutiger liupanensis, in the Liupanshan National Forest Park of central China were estimated using cytochrome b and cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) from 85 individuals from five local populations. Both the haplotype diversity (Hd ) and the nucleotide diversity (P.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of endangered Polyporus umbellatus from China assessed using a sequence-related amplified polymorphism technique
Authors: Y. Zhang Y. Kang Y. Qin Z. Zhou M. Lei H. Guo
Polyporus umbellatus (Pers.) Fries is an endangered medicinal fungus in China with in vivo anticancer activity, but its genetic information is lacking. Eight natural P. umbellatus strains collected from 7 provinces in China were subjected to sequence-related amplified polymorphism markers to estimate the level and pattern of genetic diversity. Forty-nine .. Read More»

Estimation of genetic diversity among sunflower genotypes through random amplified polymorphic DNA analysis
Authors: M.A. Iqbal, H.A. Sadaqat and I.A. Khan
The genetic diversity among eight sunflower lines was determined through the estimation of the random amplified polymorphic DNA method. One hundred and fifty-six DNA fragments were generated by 20 random primers, for an average of about 7.8 bands per primer. Of these amplified DNA fragments, 104 were polymorphic among the eight sunflower lines. Nei and Li.. Read More»

Evaluation of genetic diversity in Piper spp using RAPD and SRAP markers
Authors: Y. Jiang and J.-P. Liu
Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) analysis were applied to 74 individual plants of Piper spp in Hainan Island. The results showed that the SRAP technique may be more informative and more efficient and effective for studying genetic diversity of Piper spp than the RAPD te.. Read More»

Assessment of genetic diversity and variation of Robinia pseudoacacia seeds induced by short-term spaceflight based on two molecular marker systems and morphological traits
Authors: C.Q. Yuan Y.F. Li P. Sun Y.H. Sun G.J. Zhang M.S. Yang Y.Y. Zhang Y. Li L. Wang
The black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) is a forest legume that is highly valued as a honey plant and for its wood. We explored the effect of short-term spaceflight on development of R. pseudoacacia seedlings derived from seeds that endured a 15-day flight; the genetic diversity and variation of plants sampled from space-mutagenized seeds were compared to pl..

Genetic diversity of Phytophthora capsici (Pythiaceae) isolates in Anhui Province of China based on ISSR-PCR markers
Authors: P. Li S. Cao Y.L. Dai X.L. Li D.F. Xu M. Guo Y.M. Pan Z.M. Gao
Phytophthora capsici is a plant pathogenic oomycete that damages numerous crops worldwide. Consequently, interest in research on the genetic structure of this species has grown in recent decades. However, there is little information about P. capsici in eastern China. We investigated the genetic diversity of P. capsici isolates from three large regions of .. Read More»

Genetic structure and diversity in natural and stocked populations of the mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi) in China
Authors: M. Yang, C. Tian, X.-F. Liang, H. Zheng, C. Zhao and K. Zhu
The Chinese perch, or mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi), is a freshwater fish that is endemic to East Asia. In this study, we investigated the genetic diversity and structure of nine natural mandarin fish populations (from the Yangtze River and Amur River basins) and six hatchery stocks (from central and south China) using microsatellite markers. The resu.. Read More»

Identification of microsatellite markers in coffee associated with resistance to Meloidogyne exigua
Authors: T.B. Pereira, T.A. Setotaw, D.N. Santos, A.N.G. Mendes, S.M.L. Salgado, G.R. Carvalho and R.M. Rezende
Meloidogyne species are destructive phytonematodes that result in reduced yields of coffee. The classic test for resistance to Meloidogyne exigua in coffee progenies is both expensive and time-consuming. The use of molecular marker techniques can assist the selection process when it is difficult to measure the phenotype, such as in cases of resistance to .. Read More»

Morphoagronomic characterization and genetic diversity of a common bean RIL mapping population derived from the cross Rud�¡ x AND 277
Authors: L.C. Silva, R.O. Batista, R.S.R. Anjos, M.H. Souza, P.C.S. Carneiro, T.L.P.O. Souza, E.G. Barros and J.E.S. Carneiro
Recombinant inbred lines (RILs) are a valuable resource for building genetic linkage maps. The presence of genetic variability in the RILs is essential for detecting associations between molecular markers and loci controlling agronomic traits of interest. The main goal of this study was to quantify the genetic diversity of a common beanRIL population deri.. Read More»
