Genetic diversity and population structure of Castanopsis eyrei based on simple sequence repeat markers
Authors: L.H. Mao, X.L. Zhou and Y.M. Fang
Castanopsis eyrei (Fagaceae) is one of the dominant tree species in mid-subtropical, evergreen, broad-leaved forests. We obtained 14 pairs of simple sequence repeat (SSR) primers from previous studies, which were used to analyze 90 C. eyrei individuals from three populations at different altitudes. Low heterozygosity was detec.. Read More»

Population structure of jatropha and its implication for the breeding program
Authors: D.N. Santos, J.L. Ferreira, M. Pasqual, A.L. Generoso3, T.A. Setotaw, G.M.A. Can�?§ado and W.A. Vendrame
Jatropha (Jatropha curcas L.) has potential as an oilseed crop that requires the development of technology for its exploitation. The objective of this study was to assess the population structure and the genetic diversity in jatropha accessions at a global level using simple sequence repeat (SSR) molecular markers. Jatropha accessions (N = 109) from 10 co.. Read More»

Initial assessment of natural diversity in Mexican fig landraces
Authors: M.T. Garc�?a-Ruiz, V.M. Mendoza-Castillo, E. Valadez-Moctezuma and A. Muratalla-L�?ºa
The common fig (Ficus carica L.) was introduced into Mexico by Spanish Franciscan missionaries in the 16th century. It is widely assumed that Mexican figs are the Spanish cultivar Black Mission. We collected and propagated 12 fig plants from six landraces from different states in Central Mexico that represent different climate. All of them were grown in a.. Read More»

Conservation genetics of Annamocarya sinensis (Dode) Leroy, an endangered endemic species
Authors: Z.Y. Zhang, X.M. Pang, J.W. Han, Y. Wang and Y.Y. Li
The endangered perennial plant Annamocarya sinensis (Dode) Leroy is a tertiary relict tree restricted to southeastern China and northern Vietnam. To explore endangerment mechanisms, develop protection strategies, and guide reintroduction efforts for this species, we investigated genetic diversity and population structure by surveying 70 individuals from t..

Development and characterization of novel microsatellite markers for Ginkgo biloba using 454 pyrosequencing
Authors: Q. Zhou, X.X. Wang, M. Xu, F.L. Cao, F.X. Yu and L.A. Xu
As a “living fossil” that is used to understand the evolutionary history of seed plants, Ginkgo biloba is a well-known multipurpose tree with edible seeds, medicinal properties, and ornamental value, but little is known about its genetic diversity. Microsatellite, or simple sequence repeat (SSR), markers have prove.. Read More»

Genetic variability in Blanco Orejinegro breed cattle populations in Colombia
Authors: R. Mart�?nez, A.P. Llin�?¡s and J.F. M.-Rocha
We analyzed population structure and genetic diversity in Blanco Orejinegro Creole cattle with 12 microsatellite markers, genotyping 138 individuals belonging to 7 commercial and 3 conservation herds. These markers showed a high level of polymorphism; 171 alleles were identified. The mean number of alleles per locus was 5.63 (3.82-6.58). The total number .. Read More»

Biogeographic pattern of genetic diversity detected by RAPD and ISSR analysis in Gypsophila (Caryophyllaceae) species from Turkey
Authors: M. Korkmaz and N.Y. Dogan
Gypsophila L. is the 3rd-largest genus of Caryophyllaceae in Turkey, a country that includes 60 taxa belonging to 56 species of the 126 recognized in the genus. A total of 35 taxa are endemic to Turkey, with an approximately 60% endemism ratio. In this study, the genetic diversity of 14 Gypsophila species from Turkey was analyzed using random amplificatio..

Prediction of industrial tomato hybrids from agronomic traits and ISSR molecular markers
Authors: A.S.T. Figueiredo, J.T.V. Resende, M.V. Faria, P.R. Da-Silva, B.S. Fagundes and R.G.F. Morales
Heterosis is a highly relevant phenomenon in plant breeding. This condition is usually established in hybrids derived from crosses of highly divergent parents. The success of a breeder in obtaining heterosis is directly related to the correct identification of genetically contrasting parents. Currently, the diallel cross is th.. Read More»

Characterization of microsatellite markers and their correlations with growth traits in Mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi)
Authors: T.L. Yi, L. Fang, X.F. Liang, L.F. Sun, J. Li, X.N. Luo, W.J. Guo, Y.Q. Dou and J. Sun
Mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi) is a traditionally cultured freshwater fish with high commercial value in China. To facilitate marker-assisted selection for genetic improvement of this species, 100 microsatellite markers identifi ed in previous studies were characterized in the 25 largest and 25 smallest individuals. Twenty polymorphic loci were used to.. Read More»

Analysis of genetic diversity identified by amplified fragment length polymorphism marker in hybrid wheat
Authors: M. Ejaz, Z. Qidi, Z. Gaisheng, N. Na, Z. Huiyan and W. Qunzhu
Amplified fragment length polymorphism markers were used to assess genetic diversity in 10 male sterile wheat crop lines (hetero-cytoplasm with the same nucleus) in relation to a restorer wheat line. These male sterile lines were evaluated using 64 amplified fragment length polymorphism primer combinations, and 13 primers produced polymorphic bands, gener.. Read More»
