Authors: T. Kanchanaketu, N. Sangduen, T. Toojinda and V. Hongtrakul
Genetic analysis of 56 samples of Jatropha curcas L. collected from Thailand and other countries was performed using the methylation-sensitive amplification polymorphism (MSAP) technique. Nine primer combinations were used to generate MSAP fingerprints. When the data were interpreted as amplified fragment length polymorphism (.. Read More»

Microsatellite marker-based identification and genetic relationships of olive cultivars from the Extremadura region of Spain
Authors: F.J. Delgado-Martinez, I. Amaya, J.F. S�¡nchez-Sevilla and M.C. Gomez-Jimenez
Seventy-seven olive accessions corresponding to 25 cultivars from the Extremadura region of Spain were studied using four microsatellite or SSR markers in order to fingerprint them, and evaluate genetic similarity and relationships between local and introduced olive cultivars. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 4 to 8.. Read More»

Analysis of diversity and relationships among orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.) accessions using start codon-targeted markers
Authors: L.F. Jiang, X. Qi, X.Q. Zhang, L.K. Huang, X. Ma and W.G. Xie
Orchardgrass, or cocksfoot, is an important perennial forage grass worldwide. The comprehensive understanding of orchardgrass accessions will benefit germplasm collection and breeding progress, and it will enhance efforts to improve forage yield and quality. Therefore, 24 novel, simple, polymorphic, and reliable start codon-ta.. Read More»

Molecular characterization of accessions of Cratylia argentea (Camaratuba) using ISSR markers
Authors: G.A. Luz, S.O. Gomes, R.B. Araujo Neto, M.S.C.B. Nascimento and P.S.C. Lima
Cratylia argentea (Desv.) Kuntze (Fabaceae) is a drought-tolerant, perennial legume found primarily in Brazil, Bolivia, and Peru. The shrub is well adapted to acid soils and exhibits high productivity and nutritional value, characteristics that would favor its use as a dry season animal forage supplement in semiarid r..

Rapid microsatellite development in Gekko japonicus using sequenced restriction-site associated DNA markers
Authors: L. Wei1, W.W. Shao1, H.B. Zhou2, J. Ping2, L.M. Li3 and Y.P. Zhang2
welve polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated in the Japanese gecko, Gekko japonicus. We genotyped one population from Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, China (N = 36). The mean number of observed alleles per locus was 7.3 (range 4 to 13). Observed and expected heterozygosity values ranged from 0.200 to 0.944 and from 0.395 to 0.797, respectively. One loc..

Genetic diversity of cultivated and wild tomatoes revealed by morphological traits and SSR markers
Authors: R. Zhou, Z. Wu, X. Cao and F.L. Jiang
In the current study, morphological traits and molecular markers were used to assess the genetic diversity of 29 cultivated tomatoes, 14 wild tomatoes and seven introgression lines. The three components of the principal component analysis (PCA) explained 78.54% of the total morphological variation in the 50 tomato genotypes assessed. Based on these morpho.. Read More»

Analysis of the genetic diversity of Chinese native Cannabis sativa cultivars by using ISSR and chromosome markers
Authors: L.G. Zhang, Y. Chang, X.F. Zhang, F.Z. Guan, H.M. Yuan, Y. Yu and L.J. Zhao
Hemp (Cannabis sativa) is an important fiber crop, and native cultivars exist widely throughout China. In the present study, we analyzed the genetic diversity of 27 important Chinese native hemp cultivars, by using inter-simple sequence repeats (ISSR) and chromosome markers. We determined the following chromosome formulas: 2n = 20 = 14m + 6sm; 2n = 20 = 2.. Read More»

Authors: F. Liu1,2, Z.L. Zhou2, C.Y. Wang2, Y.H Wang2, X.Y. Cai2, X.X. Wang2,Z.S. Zhang1 and K.B. Wang2
Simple sequence repeat techniques were used to identify the genetic diversity of 101 Gossypium arboreum accessions collected from India, Vietnam, and the southwest of China (Guizhou, Guangxi, and Yunnan provinces). Twenty-six pairs of SSR primers produced a total of 103 polymorphic loci with an average of 3.96 polymorphic loci per primer. The average of t.. Read More»
