Isolation and characterization of 21 novel polymorphic microsatellite loci in the Chinese soft-shelled turtle Pelodiscus sinensis
Authors: X.J. Bu, L. Liu, L. Wang and L.W. Nie
Twenty-one novel polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated from the Chinese soft-shelled turtle, Pelodiscus sinensis (Trionychidae). This is a commonly consumed Asian species, especially in China, where it is reared in large numbers on farms. We screened 34 unrelated individuals from Wuhu of Anhui province in China and det..

Genetic diversity of wild Prunus cerasifera Ehrhart (wild cherry plum) in China revealed by simple-sequence repeat markers
Authors: Y. Zhao, Y. Li, Y. Liu and Y.F. Yang
Simple-sequence repeat (SSR) markers were employed to assess the genetic diversity of wild Prunus cerasifera Ehrhart (wild cherry plum) in China. Fourteen SSR primer pairs generated a total of 94 alleles (90 were polymorphic, accounting for 95.74%), with a mean of 6.71 alleles per locus. The number of alleles detected at each locus ranged from 2 at BPPCT .. Read More»

Genetic diversity and differentiation in Camellia reticulata (Theaceae) polyploid complex revealed by ISSR and ploidy
Authors: B.-Y. Wang and Z.-Y. Ruan
Camellia reticulata is a well-known ornamental and oil plant that is endemic to southwest China. This species shows three cell ploidies, i.e., diploidy, tetraploidy and hexaploidy. We made the first investigation of genetic diversity and differentiation of natural populations of C. reticulata, and 114 individuals from 6 popula.. Read More»

Genetic diversity analysis of barley landraces and cultivars in the Shanghai region of China
Authors: Z.-W. Chen, R.-J. Lu, L. Zou, Z.-Z. Du, R.-H. Gao, T. He and J.-H. Huang
We analyzed the genetic diversity of 115 barley germplasms, including 112 landraces and three new barley cultivars grown in the Shanghai region, using a set of 11 SSR markers. Sixty-six alleles were observed at the 11 SSR loci, ranged from three to ten, with a mean of six alleles per locus. The polymorphism information content ranged from 0.568 to 0.853, .. Read More»

Genetic diversity analysis of Bt cotton genotypes in Pakistan using simple sequence repeat markers
Authors: I. Ullah, A. Iram, M.Z. Iqbal, M. Nawaz, S.M. Hasni and S. Jamil
The popularity of genetically modified insect resistant (Bt) cotton has promoted large scale monocultures, which is thought to worsen the problem of crop genetic homogeneity. Information on genetic diversity among Bt cotton varieties is lacking. We evaluated genetic divergence among 19 Bt cotton genotypes using simple sequence.. Read More»

Genetic variation detected by RAPD markers in natural populations of babassu palm (Attalea speciosa Mart.)
Authors: M.F. Santos, K.J. Damasceno-Silva, M.A. Carvalhaes and P.S.C. Lima
The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of management on the genetic structure of natural populations of Attalea speciosa in the State of Piauí, Brazil, using randomamplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. Three babassu populations under different management systems were selected. Polymerase chain reactions were performed for 20 RAPD .. Read More»

Intra-specific genetic diversity in wild olives (Olea europaea ssp cuspidata) in Hormozgan Province, Iran
Authors: Z. Noormohammadi, H. Samadi-Molayousefi and M. Sheidai
Wild olive (O. europaea ssp cuspidata) plants grow in various regions of Iran and are expected to have considerable genetic diversity due to adaptation to the various environmental conditions. We examined the genetic diversity of four populations of wild olive growing in Hormozgan Province located in southern Iran by using 30 .. Read More»

Genetic characterization of hatchery populations of Korean spotted sea bass (Lateolabrax maculatus) using multiplex polymerase chain reaction assays
Authors: H.S. An, H.Y. Kim, J.B. Kim, D.S. Chang, K.D. Park, J.W. Lee, J.I. Myeong and C.M. An
The spotted sea bass, Lateolabrax maculatus, is an important commercial and recreational fishery resource in Korea. Aquacultural production of this species has increased because of recent resource declines, growing consumption, and ongoing government-operated stock release programs. Therefore, the genetic characterization of h.. Read More»

Genetic diversity and flooding survival in Aegiphila sellowiana (Lamiaceae), a typical tree species from upland riparian forests
Authors: C. Medri, E.A. Ruas, M.E. Medri, C.F. Ruas, S. Sayhun, P.S. Medri, D.C.G. Silva, E. Bianchini3 and P.M. Ruas
Saplings of Aegiphila sellowiana were submitted to flooding and analysis of genetic diversity in order to investigate flooding tolerance as well as its genetic determination. This response is important because it means that some lines could be planted in degraded riparian areas. Leaves were sampled from each plant, and they we.. Read More»
