Structure and genetic diversity of natural Brazilian pepper populations (Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi)
Authors: S.V. ?lvares-Carvalho, J.F. Duarte, T.C. Santos, R.M. Santos, R. Silva-Mann and D. Carvalho
In the face of a possible loss of genetic diversity in plants due the environmental changes, actions to ensure the genetic variability are an urgent necessity. The extraction of Brazilian pepper fruits is a cause of concern because it results in the lack of seeds in soil, hindering its distribution in space and time. It is imp.. Read More»

Development and characterization of microsatellite markers of the eastern keelback mullet (Liza affinis)
Authors: L. Liu, T.X. Gao, Z.Q. Han, C.H. Li, D.R. Sun and N. Song
Twenty-four polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized for Liza affinis using a (GT)13-enriched genomic library. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 3 to 9, with a mean number of 6.250. The observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.417 to 1.000 and from 0.550 to 0.861, with an average of..

Population genetic structure of the migratory rice leaf roller, Cnaphalocrocis medinalis (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), inferred from the mitochondrial A+T-rich region and nuclear ITS2 sequences
Authors: X. Wan, J. Li, M.J. Kim, T.H. Kang, B.R. Jin and I. Kim
The population genetics of the migratory rice leaf roller, Cnaphalocrocis medinalis (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), was characterized using the maternally inherited mitochondrial A+T-rich region and bi-parentally inherited nuclear internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2). One hundred and eighty-seven specimens of the rice leaf roller co.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of Vriesea cacuminis (Bromeliaceae): an endangered and endemic Brazilian species
Authors: P.C.C. Ribeiro, L.C. Pinheiro, R. Domingues, R.C. Forzza, M.A. Machado and L.F. Viccini
Data about the genetic structure can help to understand the evolutionary process of natural populations as well as to drive strategies of conservation. Vriesea cacuminis, an endemic Brazilian Bromeliad, has been found in 2 areas of Minas Gerais State. One is a legal preservation unit (Ibitipoca State Park) and the other an unprotected area (Serra Negra). .. Read More»

Genetic diversity of the honeybee Apis cerana in Yunnan, China, based on mitochondrial DNA
Authors: L. Yin and T. Ji
DNA sequence diversity in the tRNAleu-COII portion of the mitochondrial genome was investigated in samples of Apis cerana from Yunnan, China. A fragment of about 480 bp in tRNAleu-COII, including a noncoding area and part of COII, was sequenced. The noncoding area was 97-98 bp; 8 haplotypes were found, among which 5 had been reported previously, while 3 w.. Read More»
