Authors: N. Zitouna, S. Marghali, M. Gharbi, A. Haddioui and N. Trifi-Farah
Six Medicago species were investigated to characterize and valorize plant genetic resources of pastoral interest in Morocco. Samples were obtained from the core collection of the South Australian Research and Development Institute (SARDI). The transferability of single sequence repeat markers of Medicago truncatula was success.. Read More»

Characterization and molecular epidemiology of extensively prevalent nosocomial isolates of drug-resistant Acinetobacter spp
Authors: A.A. Carvalho, L.L. Cardoso, H.S. Nogueira, E.V. Menezes, M.A.S. Xavier, N.A.P. Barreto, L.F. Fernandes and A.R.E.O. Xavier
Acinetobacter sp isolates deserve special attention once they have emerged globally in healthcare institutions because they display numerous intrinsic and acquired drug-resistance mechanisms. This study assessed the antibiotic susceptibility profile, the presenceof the genetic marker blaOXA-23, and the clonal relationship among 34 nosocomial isolates of A.. Read More»

Genetic association of sequence variation in exon 3 of the swine leukocyte antigen-DQA gene with piglet diarrhea in Large White, Landrace, and Duroc piglets
Authors: Q.L. Yang, X.Y. Huang, J.J. Kong, S.G. Zhao, L.X. Liu and S.B. Gun
Piglet diarrhea is one of the primary factors that affects the benefits of the swine industry. Recent studies have shown that exon 2 of the swine leukocyte antigen-DQA gene is associated with piglet resistance to diarrhea; however, the contributions of additional exon coding regions of this gene remain unclear. Here, we detected and sequenced variants in .. Read More»

Development and characterization of microsatellite loci in Excentrodendron hsienmu (Chun & How) H.T. Chang & R.H. Miau
Authors: W.H. Shen, Z.H. Li, Y.H. Peng, M.H. Yang, Z.Q. Tan and W. Zheng
Microsatellite markers were isolated using dual-suppression-PCR for the endangered species Excentrodendron hsienmu (Tiliaceae) to evaluate the genetic diversity and population structure of this species. A total of 11 polymorphic microsatellite loci were characterized in E. hsienmu. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 9, with an average of 5.2.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of Ceratoides arborescens, a species endemic to China, detected by intersimple sequence repeat (ISSR)
Authors: P.C. Wang, L.L. Zhao, B.T. Mo, Y. Zhang, J. Chen and L.B. Wang
In order to investigate genetic diversity and population structure of Ceratoides arborescens, six populations were selected from different steppe types in Inner Mongolia grasslands of China. Intersimple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers were used to assess the genetic diversity within and among natural populations of C. arborescens. Thirteen ISSR primers gen.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of polymorphic microsatellite markers in the endangered species Bretschneidera sinensis Hemsl.
Authors: M. Li, H.F. Chen, Z.F. Wang and S. Zhang
Bretschneidera sinensis is an endangered species that is mainly distributed in South China. As a tertiary relict and the single species in the Bretschneideraceae family, it has a high conservation value. To investigate the influence of human disturbance on its mating system, 63 new microsatellites were developed using restriction-site-associated DNA seque.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of 19 highly polymorphic microsatellite markers in the devil stinger, Inimicus japonicus (Synanceiidae)
Authors: X.H. Dong, M.Y. Li, X.N. Tang, X.L. Zhang and L. Miao
Inimicus japonicus, the devil stinger, has an extensive distribution along the coast of China, Japan and the Korean Peninsula. Nineteen highly polymorphic microsatellite markers were isolated and characterized in I. japonicus. Twenty-eight individuals from a wild population were tested for polymorphism using this set of polymo.. Read More»

Genetic characterization of Brazilian strains of Aspergillus flavus using DNA markers
Authors: P.P. Batista, J.F. Santos, N.T. Oliveira, A.P.D. Pires, C.M.S. Motta and E.A. Luna-Alves Lima
The Aspergillus genus belongs to a filamentous fungal group characterized by wide dispersion in the environment. Some species are associated with diseases, especially in immunocompromised patients, while others are of economical importance due to aflatoxin production or biotechnological applications. Its species identification.. Read More»

Evaluation of genetic diversity and population structure in a commercially important freshwater fish Prochilodus costatus (Characiformes, Prochilodontidae) using complex hypervariable repeats
Authors: T.M. Barroca G.B. Santos N.V.R. Duarte E. Kalapothakis
We used complex hypervariable repeats to evaluate the genetic diversity and structure of Prochilodus costatus (Characiformes), an ecologically and economically important species endemic to the São Francisco River basin. Hydroelectric dams along the river have led to population fragmentation, which can limit gene flow. Restocking from hatcheries has.. Read More»

Authors: W.J. Li B. Zhang G.W. Huang G.P. Kang M.Z. Liang L.B. Chen
We analyzed chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) polymorphism and phylogenic relationships between 6 typical indica rice, 4 japonica rice, 8 javanica rice, and 12 Asian common wild rice (Oryza rufipogon) strains collected from different latitudes in China by comparing polymorphism at 9 highly variable regions. One hundred and forty-four polymorphic bases were detected.. Read More»
