Variability analysis of �Persian� acid lime tree selections using agronomic and molecular markers
Authors: M.G. Santos, O.S. Passos, W.S. Soares Filho, E.A. Girardi, A.S. Gesteira and C.F. Ferreira
‘Persian’ acid lime (PAL) is the most important triploid commercial citrus crop planted in the world. Little is known about the genetic variability of the selections used in Brazil. Therefore, 25 genotypes originating from the PAL, and three control species, Citrus sunki, C. limon, and C. aurantiifolia, were assessed using inter-simple sequenc.. Read More»

The identification of germplasm genetic variability in breeding programs of the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) is essential for determining the potential of each combination of parent plants to obtain superior genotypes. The present study aimed to estimate the extent of genetic diversity in 172 lines and cultivars of the common bean by integrating five .. Read More»

Genetic diversity of Cosmos species revealed by RAPD and ISSR markers
Authors: A. RodrĂ?Âguez-Bernal, J.L. PiĂ?±a-Escutia, L.M. VĂ?¡zquez-GarcĂ?Âa and A.M. Arzate-FernĂ?¡ndez
The genus Cosmos is native of America and is constituted by 34 species; 28 of them are endemic of Mexico. The cosmos are used as a nematicide, antimalarial, and antioxidative agent. The aim of this study was to estimate the genetic diversity among 7 cosmos species based on random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and inter-simple sequences repeats (ISSR) m.. Read More»

Characterization of Capsicum species using anatomical and molecular data
Authors: G.B. Dias, V.M. Gomes, T.M.S. Moraes, U.P. Zottich, G.R. Rabelo, A.O. Carvalho, M. Moulin, L.S.A. Gon�§alves, R. Rodrigues and M. Da Cunha
Capsicum species are frequently described in terms of genetic divergence, considering morphological, agronomic, and molecular databases. However, descriptions of genetic differences based on anatomical characters are rare. We examined the anatomy and the micromorphology of vegetative and reproductive organs of several Capsicum species. Four Capsicum acces.. Read More»

Genetic diversity and relationships among accessions of five crested wheatgrass species (Poaceae: Agropyron) based on gliadin analysis
Authors: S.Y. Chen, X. Ma, X.Q. Zhang, L.K. Huang and J.N. Zhou
Agropyron Gaertn. is the most important genus in Triticeae (Poaceae), which includes many forage grasses with high economic value. The genetic diversity and relationships of 36 accessions from five crested wheatgrass species were analyzed by gliadin markers. A total of 54 product bands were detected after acid polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (A-PAGE), .. Read More»

Genetic diversity analysis of oriental river prawn, Macrobrachium nipponense, in Yellow River using microsatellite marker
Authors: H. Qiao1, D. Lv2, S.F. Jiang1, S.M. Sun1, Y.S. Gong1, Y.W. Xiong1, S.B. Jin1 and H.T. Fu1
To assess the genetic status of this species, the genetic diversity of wild Macrobrachium nipponense from seven geographic locations in the Yellow River basin were investigated using 20 polymorphic microsatellite DNA loci. The genetic diversity between populations was indicated by the mean number of alleles per locus and mean observed heterozygosity (H) a.. Read More»

Evaluation of genetic diversity in Pampus argenteus using SSR markers
Authors: Y. Qin, G. Shi and Y. Sun
In order to evaluate the germplasm resources of Pampus argenteus silver pomfret, the genetic diversity and population structure of 132 silver pomfret samples collected from the three regions (the East China Sea, the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea) were examined using 13 polymorphic microsatellite loci. Results indicated a high level of genetic diversity. Th.. Read More»

Evaluation of genetic diversity in Chinese kale (Brassica oleracea L. var. alboglabra Bailey) by using rapid amplified polymorphic DNA and sequence-related amplified polymorphism markers
Authors: J. Zhang and L.G. Zhang1
Chinese kale is an original Chinese vegetable of the Cruciferae family. To select suitable parents for hybrid breeding, we thoroughly analyzed the genetic diversity of Chinese kale. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) molecular markers were used to evaluate the genetic div.. Read More»

Authors: I.B.O. Eloi, C.A. Mangolin, C.A. Scapim, C.S. Gon�§alves and M.F.P.S. Machado
We analyzed genetic structure and diversity among eight populations of popcorn, using SSR loci as genetic markers. Our objectives were to select SSR loci that could be used to estimate genetic diversity within popcorn populations, and to analyze the genetic structure of promising populations with high levels of heterozygosity ..
