Assessing genetic diversity of cotton cultivars using genomic and newly developed expressed sequence tag-derived microsatellite markers
Authors: Y. Zhang, X.F. Wang, Z.K. Li, G.Y. Zhang and Z.Y. Ma
Estimations of genetic diversity and of relationships between varieties are crucial for cotton breeding. The genetic diversity of 59 core cotton cultivars, most of which were collected from China’s main cotton-growing areas, was analyzed based on genomic and newly developed expressed sequence tag-derived microsatellite m..

Molecular genetic analysis of the yellow-breasted capuchin monkey: recommendations for ex situ conservation
Authors: C.G. Oliveira, F.A. Gaiotto, M.A. Costa and R.A. Martinez
The yellow-breasted capuchin monkey, Cebus xanthosternos, is one of the most endangered species of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. In situ conservation for this species is problematic due to habitat destruction; therefore, captive conservation has been considered as an alternative strategy. A Studbook for C. xanthosternos has b.. Read More»

Genetic evaluation of Jatropha curcas: an important oilseed for biodiesel production
Authors: R.G. Freitas, R.F. Missio, F.S. Matos, M.D.V. Resende and L.A.S. Dias
Jatropha curcas, internationally and locally known, respectively, as physic nut and pinhão manso, is a highly promising species for biodiesel production in Brazil and other countries in the tropics. It is rustic, grows in warm regions and is easily cultivated. These characteristics and high-quality oil yields from the s.. Read More»

mtDNA variation of the critically endangered hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) nesting on Iranian islands of the Persian Gulf
Authors: M. Tabib, H. Zolgharnein, M. Mohammadi, M.A. Salari-Aliabadi, A. Qasemi, S. Roshani, H. Rajabi-Maham and F. Frootan
Genetic diversity of sea turtles (hawksbill turtle) was studied using sequencing of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA, D-loop region). Thirty dead embryos were collected from the Kish and Qeshm Islands in the Persian Gulf. Analysis of sequence variation over 890 bp of the mtDNA control region revealed five haplotypes among 30 individua.. Read More»

Genetic and epigenetic diversity and structure of Phragmites australis from local habitats of the Songnen Prairie using amplified fragment length polymorphism markers
Authors: T. Qiu, L.L. Jiang and Y.F. Yang
The genetic and epigenetic diversity and structure of naturally occurring Phragmites australis populations occupying two different habitats on a small spatial scale in the Songnen Prairie in northeastern China were investigated by assessing amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLPs) and methylation-sensitive amplified polymorphisms (MSAPs) through fl..

Pheno-morphological variation, genetic diversity and population structure of Tunisian Echinus Medic (Medicago ciliaris L.)
Authors: C. Jabri, H. Sbei, N. Zitouna, N. Trifi-Farah and A. Zoghlami Khelil
Medicago ciliaris L., considered as a valuable genetic resource, is a good candidate for the improvement of marginal or degraded lands with low fertility or high salinity. In this study, the pheno-morphological and genetic diversity were investigated in 14 Tunisian populations of M. ciliaris for the first time. Fourteen morphological traits showed signifi.. Read More»

Genetic diversity and molecular characterization of several Heliconia species in Colombia
Authors: L. Isaza M.L. Marulanda A.M. L�³pez
Researchers have classified the Heliconia genus as a group of highly variable and diverse plants. Species and cultivars are visually differentiated primarily on the basis of the color and size of inflorescence bracts. At taxonomic level, flower type (parabolic, sigmoid, or erect) and size are taken into account. The vast morphological diversity of helicon.. Read More»

Genetic diversity among melon accessions (Cucumis melo) from Turkey based on SSR markers
Authors: Y.A. Ka�§ar O. Simsek I. Solmaz N. Sari Y.Y. Mendi
Melon (Cucumis melo) is an important vegetable crop in Turkey, where it is grown in many regions; the most widely planted lines are local winter types belonging to the var. inodorous. We examined 81 melon genotypes collected from different provinces of Turkey, compared with 15 reference melon genotypes obtained from INRA/France, to determine genetic diversit.. Read More»

Analysis of genetic diversity among wild bermudagrass germplasm from southwest China using SSR markers
Authors: Y. Ling X.-Q. Zhang X. Ma S.-Y. Chen T.-T. Chen W. Liu
Fifty-five wild accessions of bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon) were collected from southwest China (Sichuan, Chongqing, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Tibet), and their genetic diversity was analyzed using simple sequence repeat markers. A total of 267 polymorphic bands were detected with 18 primer combinations. The genetic similarity among the accessions ranged from 0.. Read More»

Authors: S.Y. Ke, L.L. Shi, Y.Z. Ma and X.J. Zhou
Radix bupleuri (Chaihu), the dried root of the Bupleurum plant, is an important component of traditional Chinese medicine. In this study, we examined the genetic diversity of 11 Bupleurum strains, originating from 7 provinces in China, using amplified fragment length polymorphism analysis. A total of 274 polymorphic bands were obtained using 6 primer comb.. Read More»
