Genetic diversity of mitochondrial control region (D-Loop) polymorphisms in Coilia ectenes taihuensis inhabiting Taihu Lake, China
Authors: J.J. Zhang, J.R. Duan, Y.F. Zhou, J.Y. Peng, D.A. Fang
Coilia ectenes is a commercially important fishery species in China. C. ectenes taihuensis is an endemic and dominant species found in Taihu Lake of China. When compared with C. ectenes, C. ectenes taihuensis lacks anadromous behavior, and can independently grow and reproduce in Taihu Lake. In this study, the mitochondrial DNA.. Read More»

Patterns of genetic diversity and population structure of the threatened Houbara and Macqueen�s bustards as revealed by microsatellite markers
Authors: A. Korrida S. Jadallah F. Chbel A. Amin-Alami M. Ahra S. Aggrey
The Houbara bustard (Chlamydotis undulata) is a threatened avian species that is rapidly declining throughout its range, especially in North Africa, Asia and the Canary Islands. We examined the population structure and genetic variation for the three Houbara subspecies C. undulata undulata, C. u. fuertaventurae and C. u. macqueenii. A total of 266 birds from.. Read More»

Development and characterization of 22 polymorphic microsatellite markers for the balloon flower Platycodon grandiflorum (Campanulaceae)
Authors: J.Y. Song G.-A. Lee M.-S. Yoon K.-H. Ma Y.-M. Choi J.-R. Lee H.-J. Park M.-C. Lee
The balloon flower (Platycodon grandiflorum A. DC.) is a perennial flowering plant of the Campanulaceae family; it is the only member of the genus Platycodon. Information on the genetic diversity of balloon flower populations is of great importance for the conservation and germplasm utilization of this flowering plant. Twenty-two polymorphic microsatellite l.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of 10 microsatellite loci for Pallas� long-tongued bat Glossophaga soricina (Phyllostomidae)
Authors: 3521
Glossophaga soricina is a widespread Neotropical nectarivorous bat. We characterized 10 microsatellite loci isolated from a shotgun genomic library. We analyzed tissues from wing membrane of 67 individuals collected from two populations of Central Brazil (Brasília and Alto Paraíso). The number of alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 20, and th..

Genetic diversity of Lagerstroemia (Lythraceae) species assessed by simple sequence repeat markers
Authors: D. He Y. Liu M. Cai H.T. Pan Q.X. Zhang X.Y. Wang X.J. Wang
Lagerstroemia (crape myrtle) are famous ornamental plants with large pyramidal racemes, long flower duration, and diverse colors. However, little is known about the genetic structure and diversity of germplasm in Lagerstroemia. We genotyped 81 L. indica cultivars, five other species of Lagerstroemia, and 10 interspecific hybrids using 30 simple sequence repe.. Read More»

Amarelinha do Amap�¡: a carotenoid-rich cassava cultivar
Authors: N.M.A. Nassar, P.C. Fernandes, R.D. Melani and O.R. Pires J�ºnior
Eight cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) cultivars, of which four are indigenous to the Amazon region, along with an interspecific hybrid, were assessed for their carotenoid content. They were propagated and are maintained in the living Manihot collection at the University of Brasília. The cultivar “Amarelinha do Amapá”, whi.. Read More»

Analysis of genetic diversity in Larix gmelinii (Pinaceae) with RAPD and ISSR markers
Authors: L. Zhang H.G. Zhang X.F. Li
Dahurian larch (Larix gmelinii), a deciduous conifer, is the northernmost tree, native to eastern Siberia and nearby regions of China. We used growth traits and molecular markers to assess genetic variation in different L. gmelinii growing regions; 105 individual samples were collected from seven regions of the Qingshan Forestry Centre, Heilongjiang Province..

Validation of EST-derived microsatellite markers for two Cerrado-endemic Campomanesia (Myrtaceae) species
Authors: E.A.G.C. Miranda1, C.R.D. Boaventura-Novaes2, R.S. Braga1, E.F. Reis3,J.F.N. Pinto3 and M.P.C. Telles1
We assessed the transferability of 120 EST-derived Eucalyptus microsatellite primers to Campomanesia adamantium and C. pubescens. Both species are berry trees native to the Brazilian Cerrado, and population genetic information is poor. Twelve markers were used to analyze the genetic variability of four sampled populations. Regarding DNA extraction, we sam.. Read More»

RAPD-based study of genetic variation and relationships among wild fig genotypes in Turkey
Authors: M. Akbulut, S. Ercisli and H. Karlidag
The fig tree (Ficus carica L.) is of significant socio-economic importance in Turkey, with 25% of the world’s fig production. Genetic variation and relationships among 14 wild-grown figs sampled from Coruh Valley in Turkey were characterized by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD). Ninety-eight DNA fragments were scor..
