Authors: E.C.M. Lanes, J.M.S. Viana, G.P. Paes, M.F.B. Paula, C. Maia, E.T. Caixeta and G.V. Miranda
The objectives of this study were to identify the population structure and to assess the genetic diversity of maize inbreds. We genotyped 81 microsatellite loci of 90 maize inbreds that were derived from tropical hybrids and populations. The population structure analysis was based on a Bayesian approach. Each subpopulation was.. Read More»

Bioinformatic analysis based on the complete coding region of the MSTN gene within and among different species
Authors: X.C. Song, C. Xu, Z.G. Yue, L. Wang, G.W. Wang and F.H. Yang
Myostatin, encoded by the MSTN gene (previously GDF8), is a member of the transforming growth factor-β superfamily, which normally acts to limit skeletal muscle mass by regulating the number and growth of muscle fibers. In this study, a total of 84 myostatin gene sequences with known complete coding regions (CDS) and corr.. Read More»

Genetic variability and diversity of the main resources of lily assessed via phenotypic characters, pollen morphology, and ISSR markers
Authors: J.M. Wang, S.L.Y. Ma, W.Q. Li, Q. Wang, H.Y. Cao, J.H. Gu and Y.M. Lu
Lily (Lilium spp), which belongs to Lilium, is one kind of monocotyledon. As a perennial ornamental plant with extremely high esthetic, edible, and medicinal value, lily has gained much favor due to its mostly showy flowers of various colors and elegant shape. In this research, we studied experimental materials in a sample of .. Read More»

Structure of mitochondrial DNA control region and genetic diversity of Moschus berezovskii populations in Shaanxi Province
Authors: H. Feng, C.L. Feng, Y. Huang and J. Tang
In China, Moschus berezovskii (forest musk deer), a first-class national protected animal, was earlier widely distributed. However, wild populations of the forest musk deer have declined because of human activity and habitat loss. In order to gather useful information for its conservation and management, we investigated the ge.. Read More»

Analysis of genetic diversity of Brassica rapa var. chinensis using ISSR markers and development of SCAR marker specific for Fragrant Bok Choy, a product of geographic indication
Authors: X.L. Shen, Y.M. Zhang, J.Y. Xue, M.M. Li, Y.B. Lin, X.Q. Sun and Y.Y. Hang
Non-heading Chinese cabbage [Brassica rapa var. chinensis (Linnaeus) Kitamura] is a popular vegetable and is also used as a medicinal plant in traditional Chinese medicine. Fragrant Bok Choy is a unique accession of non-heading Chinese cabbage and a product of geographic indication certified by the Ministry of Agriculture of C.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of microsatellite markers for Eucommia ulmoides (Eucommiaceae), an endangered tree, using next-generation sequencing
Authors: W.R. Zhang, Y. Li, J. Zhao, C.H. Wu, S. Ye and W.J. Yuan
Eucommia ulmoides Oliver, a single extant species of Eucommiaceae, is an endemic dioecious tree in China. The natural resources of E. ulmoides have rapidly declined in recent years because of the over-collection of its cortex. To design a suitable protection strategy, it is necessary to develop a set of molecular markers to in.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of the endangered scaly-sided merganser (Mergus squamatus) in the wintering habitat of central-southern China
Authors: Z.-Q. Zhang, C.-J. Qin, D.-A. Fang, A.-P. Wang and C.-H. Luo and K. Liu
The scaly-sided merganser (Mergus squamatus), found in temperate East Asia, has been reduced to a very small population. Central and southern China are its main wintering habitat. However, populations have declined greatly since the 1980s due to habitat loss and degradation, and poaching. To meet the urgent need for up-to-date conservation information, we.. Read More»

Development and characterization of new microsatellites for Eugenia dysenterica DC (Myrtaceae)
Authors: M.P.C. Telles, J.B. Silva, L.V. Resende, R.P. Vianello, L.J. Chaves, T.N. Soares and R.G. Collevatti
Microsatellite markers were developed for population genetic analyses of the Neotropical tree Eugenia dysenterica DC (Myrtaceae), after construction of a shotgun genomic library for microsatellite discovery. Nine primers were designed, of which 5 yielded amplified product. These primers were polymorphic for 97 individuals collected in 3 distinct localitie.. Read More»

Authors: T.N. Soares, L.L. Sant�Ana, L.K. de Oliveira, M.P.C. Telles and R.G. Collevatti
Microsatellite markers were transferred from the cashew, Anarcadium occidentale, to Anacardium humile (Anacardiaceae), a Neotropical shrub from the Brazilian savanna, that produces an edible nut and pseudo-fruit. We tested 14 microsatellite primers from A. occidentale on A. humile. Polymorphism of each microsatellite locus was analyzed based on 58 individ.. Read More»
