Genetic diversity and population genetic structure of the miiuy croaker, Miichthys miiuy, in the East China Sea by microsatellite markers
Authors: Y. Qin, D.Q. Sun, T.J. Xu, X.Z. Liu and Y.N. Sun
Genetic diversity and patterns of population structure of the miiuy croaker were investigated using SSR markers. A set of 10 microsatellite loci revealed 40 alleles; the number of alleles varied from 2 to 10 for each marker. A relatively high level of genetic variability was observed between miiuy croaker individuals. Genetic diversity was relatively high.. Read More»

Development of SNP markers and their application for genetic diversity analysis in the oil palm (Elaeis guineensis)
Authors: P.W. Ong, I. Maizura, N.A.P. Abdullah, M.Y. Rafii, L.C.L. Ooi, E.T.L. Low and R. Singh
The genetic evaluation of oil palm germplasm collections is required for insight into the variability among populations. The information obtained is also useful for incorporating new genetic materials into current breeding programs. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been widely used in many plant genetic studies due .. Read More»

Molecular characterization of twenty polymorphic microsatellite markers in the polyploid fruit tree species Syzygium samarangense (Myrtaceae)
Authors: J.M. Lai, C.C. Tsai, C.R. Yen, Y.Z. Ko, S.R. Chen, I.S. Weng, Y.S. Lin and Y.C. Chiang
Syzygium samarangense (Blume) Merr. & Perry (wax apple) is an important commercial fruit tree in Southeast Asia. Here, microsatellite markers were developed to evaluate genetic diversity and distinguish cultivars in this species. In total, 161 microsatellite loci with sufficient flanking sequences to design primer sets were isolated from wax apple usi.. Read More»

RAPD analysis of genetic diversity and population structure of Elymus sibiricus (Poaceae) native to the southeastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, China
Authors: X. Ma S.-Y. Chen S.-Q. Bai X.-Q. Zhang D.-X. Li C.-B. Zhang J.-J. Yan
Genetic diversity of Elymus sibiricus (Poaceae) was examined in eight populations from the southeast Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. We detected 291 RAPD polymorphic loci in 93 samples. The percentage of polymorphic bands (PPB) was 79%. Genetic diversity (HE) was 0.264, effective number of alleles (NE) was 1.444, Shannon’s information index (HO) was 0.398, a.. Read More»

Red Sindhi cattle in Brazil: population structure and distribution
Authors: J.C.C. Panetto, M.V.G.B. Silva, R.M.H. Leite, M.A. Machado,F.A.T. Bruneli, D.R.L. Reis, M.G.C.D. Peixoto, R.S. Verneque
The Red Sindhi cattle breed was imported to Brazil in small numbers. Nowadays, the herds of this breed are distributed in the Northeast, Southeast and Midwest regions of the country. In this study, DNA samples of animals originating from 15 herds in the Northeast and Southeast regions have been analyzed to obtain the ancestry .. Read More»

Comparative analyses of genetic/epigenetic diversities and structures in a wild barley species (Hordeum brevisubulatum) using MSAP, SSAP and AFLP
Authors: X.H. Shan Y.D. Li X.M. Liu Y. Wu M.Z. Zhang W.L. Guo B. Liu Y.P. Yuan
We analyzed genetic diversity and population genetic structure of four artificial populations of wild barley (Hordeum brevisubulatum); 96 plants collected from the Songnen Prairie in northeastern China were analyzed using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP), specific-sequence amplified polymorphism (SSAP) and methylation-sensitive amplified polymor..

Inter- and intra-specific genetic diversity of Iranian yarrow species Achillea santolina and Achillea tenuifolia based on ISSR and RAPD markers
Authors: M. Ebrahimi M. Farajpour M. Rahimmalek
Cultivation and preservation of yarrow has recently attracted wide attention due to its beneficial properties; however, genetic variation of Achillea species is still relatively unknown. We used RAPD and ISSR markers to assess genetic diversity in 16 accessions of yarrow belonging to two species native to Iran. Seven ISSR and nine RAPD primers generated 1.. Read More»
