Microsatellite analysis of genetic diversity and genetic structure in five consecutive breeding generations of mandarin fish Siniperca chuatsi (Basilewsky)
Authors: T.L. Yi, W.J. Guo, X.F. Liang, M. Yang, L.Y. Lv, C.X. Tian, Y. Song, C. Zhao and J. Sun
In this report, 10 polymorphic microsatellites were applied to assess the genetic diversity and genetic differentiation of 5 consecutive breeding generations of mandarin fish, Siniperca chuatsi (Basilewsky). The results from total number of alleles, average polymorphism information content, and average homozygosity and heterozygosity showed that the genet.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of central and peripheral populations of Toona ciliata var. pubescens, an endangered tree species endemic to China
Authors: J. Liu, J.M. Jiang and Y.T. Chen
Our objective was to examine the genetic diversity of central and peripheral populations of Toona ciliata var. pubescens, to elucidate whether the central-peripheral hypothesis applies to these populations. We analyzed 392 individuals from nine natural populations using eight pairs of polymorphic SSR primers. The results showe.. Read More»

Contrasting genetic diversity and differentiation of populations of two successional stages in a neotropical pioneer tree (Eremanthus erythropappus, Asteraceae)
Authors: V.L.O. Freitas, J.P. Lemos-Filho and M.B. Lovato
Eremanthus erythropappus, commonly known as “candeia”,is an abundant pioneer tree species, forming dense populations known as “candeial”, but it is also found in forests at middle stages of succession. Trees from forests are bigger and occur in lower density than in the “candeial”. The objec.. Read More»

Genetic diversity and population structure of Fenneropenaeus penicillatus determined by mitochondrial DNA analyses
Authors: Y.Y. Cao and Z.B. Li
Fenneropenaeus penicillatus is a widely distributed economically and ecologically important shrimp species, which is endangered in China. Sequence analysis of 16s rRNA and control region (CR) fragments from mitochondrial DNA was conducted to obtain information on genetic diversity and population structure. Individuals from 12 ..

Cytogenetic and random amplified polymorphic DNA analysis of Leptodactylus species from rural and urban environments (Anura, Amphibia)
Authors: M.P. Arruda and E. Morielle-Versute
Cytogenetic and random amplified polymorphic DNA analyses carried out in the species Leptodactylus podicipinus, L. ocellatus, L. labyrinthicus, and L. fuscus from rural and urban habitats of the northwest region of São Paulo State, Brazil, showed that the karyotypes (2n = 22), constitutive heterochromatin distribution and nucleolus organizer region..

Isolation, characterization, and cross-transferability of microsatellite markers from the whitebacked planthopper (Sogatella furcifera)
Authors: L. Zhang, G. Li, G.C. He, L.L. Zhu, R. Qin and S.L. Jing
The whitebacked planthopper Sogatella furcifera (Horváth) (Hemiptera: Delphacidae) is one of the most harmful pests of rice. In this study, 18 polymorphic microsatellite markers were developed from S. furcifera genomic libraries using the fast isolation by amplified fragment length polymorphism of sequences containing r..

MtDNA variability in whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) populations in Brazil
Authors: G.E. Valle, A.L. Louren�§�£o, M.I. Zucchi, J.B. Pinheiro and A.G. Abreu
Bemisia tabaci (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) consists of a complex of morphologically indistinct biotypes that vary mainly in their capacity to transmit plant viruses and to induce physiological disorders in plants of economic importance. The adaptability of B. tabaci to many regions of the world has fostered the appearance of vari.. Read More»

Characterization of nine novel microsatellite loci for the Venus clam (Cyclina sinensis)
Authors: J.X. Wang, T.J. Xu, L. Wei, F.X. Meng and R.X. Wang
The Venus clam, Cyclina sinensis, is one of the most important bivalves in China marine aquaculture. Using (CA)15-enriched genomic libraries of this species, nine novel polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized. The mean number of observed alleles per locus was 16 (range 8-24). The observed and expected h.. Read More»
