Isolation and characterization of new polymorphic microsatellite markers from the cuttlefish Sepiella maindroni (Cephalopoda; Sepiidae)
Authors: B.-Y. Guo, P.Z. Qi, A.Y. Zhu, Z.M. Lv, W.C. Wang and C.W. Wu
Fifteen new polymorphic microsatellite loci were developed for the cuttlefish Sepiella maindroni. In 32 individuals from a wild population of coastal Ningde, Fujian Province, China, the number of alleles at these loci varied between 2 and 12, with an average of 5.86. The mean observed and expected heterozygosities were 0.6917 and 0.5993, respectively. Amo.. Read More»

Genetic diversity and selection gain in the physic nut (Jatropha curcas)
Authors: B.P. Brasileiro, S.A. Silva, D.R. Souza, P.A. Santos, R.S. Oliveira and D.H. Lyra
The use of efficient breeding methods depends on knowledge of genetic control of traits to be improved. We estimated genetic parameters, selection gain, and genetic diversity in physic nut half-sib families, in order to provide information for breeding programs of this important biofuel species. The progeny test included 20 half-sib families in 4 blocks a.. Read More»

Genetic analysis of Apuleia leiocarpa as revealed by random amplified polymorphic DNA markers: prospects for population genetic studies
Authors: K.H. Lencina, E.R. Konzen, S.M. Tsai and D.A. Bisognin
Apuleia leiocarpa (Vogel) J.F. MacBride is a hardwood species native to South America, which is at serious risk of extinction. Therefore, it is of prime importance to examine the genetic diversity of this species, information required for developing conservation, sustainable management, and breeding strategies. Although scarce.. Read More»

Polymorphism analysis of multi-parent advanced generation inter-cross (MAGIC) populations of upland cotton developed in China
Authors: D.G. Li, Z.X. Li, J.S. Hu, Z.X. Lin and X.F. Li
Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is an important cash crop that provides renewable natural fiber worldwide. Currently limited genetic base leads to a decrease in upland cotton genetic diversity. Multi-parent advance generation inter-cross (MAGIC) populations can be used to evaluate complex agronomic traits in crops. In th.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of wild and domesticated stocks of Thai abalone, Haliotis asinina (Haliotidae), analyzed by single-strand conformational polymorphism of AFLP-derived markers
Authors: P. Praipue, S. Klinbunga and P. Jarayabhand
Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis was carried out on representative individuals of wild Haliotis asinina using 64 primer combinations. Nine polymorphic AFLPs were cloned and sequenced. Sequence-specific primers were designed from six AFLP-derived fragments. Three sequence-characterized amplified region (SC.. Read More»

Development of microsatellite markers for Mytilus coruscus (Mytilidae), an economically important mussel in the East China Sea
Authors: B.-Y. Guo, C.-W. Wu, C.-L. Liu, A.-Y. Zhu and Y.-Y. Ye
Twelve new polymorphic microsatellite loci were developed for the hard-shelled mussel, Mytilus coruscus. In 32 individuals from a wild population of coastal Zhoushan, Zhejiang Province, China, the number of alleles at these loci varied from 3 to 15, with a mean of 5.667. The mean observed and expected heterozygosities were 0.6927 and 0.6591, respectively... Read More»

Authors: S.S. Sandes, J.B. Pinheiro, M.I. Zucchi, M. Monteiro, M.F. Arrigoni-Blank and A.F. Blank
Microsatellite primers were developed and optimized for patchouli (Pogostemon cablin) to characterize the patchouli Active Germplasm Bank of Universidade Federal de Sergipe. Creation of a genomic library for patchouli enabled the design of 12 microsatellite primers. Six of these microsatellites were polymorphic, revealing two well-defined groups of indivi.. Read More»
