Authors: P. Akaboot, M. Duangjinda, Y. Phasuk, C. Kaenchan and W. Chinchiyanond
Genetic characterization among Red Junglefowl (GS, Gallus gallus spadiceus), Thai indigenous chicken (TIC, Gallus domesticus) and commercial lines has been widely used for studies of genealogical origin, genetic diversity, and effects of selection. We compared the efficiency of genetic characterization of chicken populations t.. Read More»

Impact of climatic factors on genetic diversity of Stipa breviflora populations in Inner Mongolia
Authors: Q. Zhang, J.M. Niu, S.B. Wu, A. Buyantuyev and J.J. Dong
Genetic diversity of Stipa breviflora populations in the Inner Mongolian grasslands of China and its possible correlation with climatic factors was examined using geographic information systems and random amplified polymorphism DNA analysis. A total of 308 bands were produced with 28 arbitrary decamer oligonucleotide. Three major findings were demonstrate.. Read More»

Characterization of nine microsatellite loci for the tree species Parapiptadenia rigida (Fabaceae-Mimosoideae) and their transferability
Authors: B.F. Costa, L.A. Rodrigues, E.A. Ruas, L.B. Souza, C.F. Ruas, B.G. Vieira, A.R.O. Conson and P.M. Ruas
Parapiptadenia rigida, locally known as angico, is a tropical tree common in the semideciduous Brazilian forest. Its wood is naturally resistant to insect attack and is useful for construction. Extracts from the tree have medicinal properties. We characterized nine microsatellite loci for P. rigida. Thirty-five alleles were detected in a sample of 45 indi.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of microsatellite loci in hybrid giant tiger grouper
Authors: Y.S. Huang, Z.B. Li, Y.F. Ning, J.B. Shangguan, Y. Yuan, X.Q. Mao and B.B. Li
The hybrid giant tiger grouper is a fish that has considerable commercial value and has become increasingly important for aquaculture in South East Asia since 2008. In order to prevent any reduction in genetic diversity in hybrid grouper as a result of aquaculture, we have identified 21 microsatellite markers that can be used .. Read More»

Molecular diversity and population structure of the forage grass Hemarthria compressa (Poaceae) in south China based on SRAP markers
Authors: L.-K. Huang, X.-Q. Zhang, W.-G. Xie, J. Zhang, L. Cheng and H.D. Yan
Hemarthria compressa is one of the most important and widely utilized forage crops in south China, owing to its high forage yield and capability of adaptation to hot and humid conditions. We examined the population structure and genetic variation within and among 12 populations of H. compressa in south China using sequence-related amplified polymorphism (.. Read More»

Morphological traits and RAPD markers for characterization and identification of minor Spanish olive cultivars from the Extremadura region
Authors: M.C. Parra-Lobato, F.J. Delgado-Martinez and M.C. Gomez-Jimenez
A total of 91 wild olive accessions and 31 olive cultivars growing in the Extremadura region of central-western Spain were analyzed using morphological traits and RAPD markers. We focused on three main and 16 minor Spanish olive cultivars that are recognized as native or local to the Extremadura region. The five arbitrary 10-mer primers tested on the oliv.. Read More»

Genetic structure in fragmented populations of Solanum lycocarpum A. St.-Hil. with distinct anthropogenic histories in a Cerrado region of Brazil
Authors: T.M. Moura, K. Martins, P.S. Sujii, A.M. Sebbenn and L.J. Chaves
Solanum lycocarpum is a woody tree widely distributed in the Cerrado that reaches high population densities in disturbed environments. We examined the genetic diversity and population differentiation of six S. lycocarpum populations with different degrees of human disturbance in order to determine if they are negatively affected by anthropogenic activity...

Genetic diversity and population structure of Chinese pony breeds using microsatellite markers
Authors: L.X. Xu, S.L. Yang, R.Y. Lin, H.B. Yang, A.P. Li and Q.S. Wan
China is one of the principal origins of ponies in the world. We made a comprehensive analysis of genetic diversity and population structure of Chinese ponies based on 174 animals of five indigenous Chinese pony breeds from five provinces using 13 microsatellite markers. One hundred and forty-four alleles were detected; the mean number of effective allele.. Read More»

Novel polymorphic microsatellite markers for Bellamya and their application in population genetics of three species
Authors: Q.H. Gu, Q.Q. Cheng, X.J. Li and C.J. Zhou
Bellamya is a widely distributed freshwater snail genus in China; however, its genetic diversity is completely unknown. Sixty-five novel microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized from a microsatellite-enriched library of Bellamya aeruginosa genomic DNA. Most of the 65 loci were successfully amplified. We fou.. Read More»
