Genetic Diversity
Interpretation of electrophoretograms of seven microsatellite loci to determine the genetic diversity of the Arabian Oryx
Authors: I.A. Arif, H.A. Khan, M. Shobrak, A.A. Al Homaidan, M. Al Sadoon, A.H. Al Farhan and A.H. Bahkali
Microsatellite markers are commonly used for examining population structure, especially inbreeding, outbreeding and gene flow. An array of microsatellite loci, preferably with multiallelic presentation, is preferable for ensuring accurate results. However, artifact peaks or stutters in the electrophoretograms significantly ham.. Read More»

Genetic diversity analysis of Aspergillus flavus isolates from plants and air by ISSR markers
Authors: M.A. Mahmoud, A.M.A. El-Samawaty, M.A. Yassin and A.R.M. Abd El-Aziz
Aspergillus flavus is one of the most abundant and widely distributed fungi on earth. A. flavus produces aflatoxins (AFs), which are toxic secondary metabolites. AFs have harmful effects on public health (humans and animals) and agricultural crops. Inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers were used to analyze the genetic di.. Read More»

Genetic diversity in the germplasm of black pepper determined by EST-SSR markers
Authors: B.D. Wu, R. Fan, L.S. Hu, H.S. Wu and C.Y. Hao
This study aimed to assess genetic diversity in the germplasm of black pepper from around the world using SSR markers from EST. In total, 13 markers were selected and successfully amplified the target loci across the black pepper germplasm. All the EST-SSR markers showed high levels of polymorphisms with an average polymorphis.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of Palestine landraces of faba bean (Vicia faba) based on RAPD markers
Authors: R. Basheer-Salimia, M. Shtaya, M. Awad, J. Abdallah and Y. Hamdan
Until now, neither phenotypic nor molecular approaches have been used to characterize the landraces of Palestine faba beans (Vicia faba). We used PCR-based RAPD markers to determine the genetic diversity and relatedness among 26 Palestinian faba bean landraces (traditional farmers’ varieties) from 8 localities in the West Bank, Palestine. In tests w.. Read More»

Genetic variability in Melipona scutellaris from Rec�´ncavo, Bahia, Brazil
Authors: J.L. Viana, A.K. Francisco, C.A.L. Carvalho and A.M. Waldschmidt
Bees play a key role in pollination and thereby help maintain plant diversity. The stingless bee Melipona scutellaris is an important pollinator in northeastern Brazil because it is endemic to this region. Both deforestation and timber harvesting have reduced the nesting sites for this species, thus reducing its population and range. Genetic studies may h.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of natural populations of Machilus thunbergii, an endangered tree species in eastern China, determined with ISSR analysis
Authors: J. Liu, H.G. Sun, J.M. Jiang, W.H. Shao and Q.F. Luan
The genetic diversity of 10 Machilus thunbergii populations in eastern China was analyzed using inter-simple sequence repeat markers. The populations showed high genetic diversity, with an overall population genetic diversity of 0.2343. Genetic diversity varied largely among populations, and populations with the highest genetic diversity were mainly from .. Read More»

Genetic diversity of Broussonetia papyrifera populations in southwest China
Authors: S.X. Liao, Z.H. Deng, K. Cui, Y.Z. Cui and C.H. Zhang
Broussonetia papyrifera is an important native tree species with high economic value in southwest China. Its resources are drastically reduced because of over-harvesting and habitat fragmentation. In this study, 17 natural populations of B. papyrifera were analyzed using inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) ma.. Read More»

Genetic diversity in elite inbred lines of maize and its association with heterosis
Authors: E.H. Fernandes, I. Schuster, C.A. Scapim, E.S.N. Vieira and M.M.D. Coan
The objective of the current study was to apply molecular markers (microsatellites) in the analysis of genetic diversity of 48 lines of the elite maize germplasm stored in the bank of the Cooperativa Central de Pesquisa Agrícola - Coodetec, PR, Brazil, and estimate the correlation between genetic distance and heterosis and hybrid performance from t..

Authors: M.P.S.D. Costa, M.M. do R�ªgo, A.P.G. da Silva, E.R. do R�ªgo and P.A. Barroso
Pepper species exhibit broad genetic diversity, which enables their use in breeding programs. The objective of this study was to characterize the diversity between the parents of different species and their interspecific hybrids using morphological and molecular markers. The parents of Capsicum annuum (UFPB-01 and -137), C. ba.. Read More»
