Authors: T. Wang, Q.D. Zou, S.Y. Qi, X.F. Wang, Y.Y. Wu, N. Liu, Y.M. Zhang, Z.J. Zhang and H.T. Li
Knowledge of genetic diversity is important to assist breeders in the selection of parental materials and in the design of breeding programs. In this study, we genotyped 348 inbred tomato lines, representing vintage and contemporary fresh-market varieties, by using 52 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs); 45 of these were found to be polymorphic. The av.. Read More»

Evidence of balancing selection in multiple indigenous chicken populations
Authors: S. Arlud, G.X. E and S.C. Zeng
Microsatellite DNA markers, which are assumed to drift, have been widely used to assess genetic diversity in all major domestic animal species. These markers provide insight into the arrival and dispersion history of a species, with regard to their content or management history. However, no direct evidence supports current standard microsatellite markers .. Read More»

Development of microsatellite markers and genetic diversity analysis for Pelodiscus sinensis
Authors: T. Li, J. Zhao, W. Li, Y. Shi, X.Y. Hong and X.P. Zhu,
Pelodiscus sinensis is a common freshwater soft-shell turtle found in China, and is an important aquaculture species. In this study, 20 polymorphic microsatellite primers were developed from the transcriptome. The genetic diversity of three populations of P. sinensis was evaluated, using 72 individuals. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 3 to 26... Read More»

Genetic diversity of Toona sinensis Roem in China revealed by ISSR and SRAP markers
Authors: P.Y. Xing, T. Liu, Z.Q. Song and X.F. Li
Toona sinensis Roem has an important value as a type of traditional vegetable and Chinese medicinal herb, and is also a valuable source of wood in China. In this study, we used the inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) and sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) markers to assess the level and pattern of genetic diversity in five domesticated T. sine..

Genetic diversity analysis of Capparis spinosa L. populations by using ISSR markers
Authors: C. Liu, G.P. Xue, B. Cheng, X. Wang, J. He, G.H. Liu and W.J. Yang
Capparis spinosa L. is an important medicinal species in the Xinjiang Province of China. Ten natural populations of C. spinosa from 3 locations in North, Central, and South Xinjiang were studied using morphological trait inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) molecular markers to assess the genetic diversity and population structure. In this study, the 10 IS.. Read More»

Variable number of tandem repeat markers in the genome sequence of Mycosphaerella fijiensis, the causal agent of black leaf streak disease of banana (Musa spp)
Authors: S.A.L. Garcia*, T.A.J. Van der Lee*, C.F. Ferreira*, B. Te Lintel Hekkert, M.-F. Zapater, S.B. Goodwin, M. Guzm�¡n, G.H.J. Kema and M.T. Souza Jr.
We searched the genome of Mycosphaerella fijiensis for molecular markers that would allow population genetics analysis of this plant pathogen. M. fijiensis, the causal agent of banana leaf streak disease, also known as black Sigatoka, is the most devastating pathogen attacking bananas (Musa spp). Recently, the entire genome se.. Read More»

Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is considered to be the main pathogen in PC-associated diseases, and significantly affects the global pig-producing industry. PCV2 continuously evolves by point mutations and genome recombinations. In the present study, we aimed to further identify recombinant PCV2 strains. We used polymerase c.. Read More»

Authors: F. Ahmad, A.I. Khan, F.S. Awan, B. Sadia, H.A. Sadaqat and S. Bahadur
Genetic diversity analysis of chickpea germplasm can provide practical information for the selection of parental material and thus assist in planning breeding strategies. Chickpea seed is a good source of carbohydrates and proteins, constituting 80% of the total dry seed weight. Released cultivars and advanced lines of 30 chic.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of sea-island cotton (Gossypium barbadense) revealed by mapped SSRs
Authors: X.Q. Wang, C.H. Feng, Z.X. Lin and X.L. Zhang
In order to evaluate the genetic diversity of sea-island cotton (Gossypium barbadense), 237 commonly mapped SSR markers covering the cotton genome were used to genotype 56 sea-island cotton accessions. A total of 218 polymorphic primer pairs (91.98%) amplified 361 loci, with a mean of 1.66 loci. Polymorphism information conten.. Read More»
