Genetic divergence of physiological-quality traits of seeds in a population of peppers
Authors: A.M.S. Pessoa, P.A. Barroso, E.R. do R�ªgo, G.D.A. Medeiros, R.L.A. Bruno and M.M. do R�ªgo
Brazil has a great diversity of Capsicum peppers that can be used in breeding programs. The objective of this study was to evaluate genetic variation in traits related to the physiological quality of seeds of Capsicum annuum L. in a segregating F2 population and its parents. A total of 250 seeds produced by selfing in the F1 g.. Read More»

Genetic characterization of green bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) genotypes from eastern Turkey
Authors: G. Sar�±kam�±��1, F. Ya��ar2, M. Bak�±r3, K. Kazan4 and A. Erg�¼l3
Green bean genotypes collected from eastern Turkey were characterized using simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers and morphological traits. Among 12 SSR markers, 10 produced successful amplifications and revealed DNA polymorphisms that were subsequently used to assess genetic relatedness of the genotypes. Based on the number of alleles generated and the pr.. Read More»

Genetic diversity and assessment of 23 microsatellite markers for parentage testing of Santa In�ªs hair sheep in Brazil
Authors: C.A. Souza, S.R. Paiva, C.M. McManus, H.C. Azevedo, A.S. Mariante and D. Grattapaglia
Santa Inês is the most common hair sheep breed in Brazil and probably has the highest genetic diversity among sheep breeds in this country. Successful breeding programs for Brazilian sheep breeds are not common for various reasons, including a lack of control of parentage in the flocks. We developed an allele frequency d.. Read More»

Selection of morphoagronomic descriptors for the characterization of accessions of cassava of the Eastern Brazilian Amazon
Authors: R.S. Silva, E.F. Moura, J.T. Farias-Neto, C.A.S. Ledo and J.E. Sampaio
The aim of this study was to select morphoagronomic descriptors to characterize cassava accessions representative of Eastern Brazilian Amazonia. It was characterized 262 accessions using 21 qualitative descriptors. The multiple-correspondence analysis (MCA) technique was applied using the criteria: contribution of the descript.. Read More»

Classification of cassava genotypes based on qualitative and quantitative data
Authors: E.J. Oliveira, O.S. Oliveira Filho and V.S. Santos
We evaluated the genetic variation of cassava accessions based on qualitative (binomial and multicategorical) and quantitative traits (continuous). We characterized 95 accessions obtained from the Cassava Germplasm Bank of Embrapa Mandioca e Fruticultura; we evaluated these accessions for 13 continuous, 10 binary, and 25 multicategorical traits. First, we.. Read More»

Genetic diversity in a germplasm bank of Oenocarpus mapora (Arecaceae)
Authors: E.F. Moura M.S.P. de Oliveira
Oenocarpus mapora is an Amazonian palm species commonly used by native populations for food and in folk medicine. We measured genetic variability, using RAPD markers, of material kept in a germplasm bank composed of accessions sampled from the Brazilian Amazon. These included 74 individuals from 23 accessions sampled from 9 localities in three States of t.. Read More»

Molecular and morphological characterization of local apple cultivars in Southern Spain
Authors: L.F. P�©rez-Romero, M.P. Su�¡rez, E. Dapena and P. Rallo
The number of local and traditional fruit cultivars in Andalusia (Southern Spain) has decreased dramatically since the 1970s when new commercial cultivars from breeding programs were introduced, replacing old varieties, and thus decreasing genetic diversity. The present study was included in a genetic resources project with the objective of identifying and p.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of eggplant (Solanum melongena) germplasm from Turkey assessed by SSR and RAPD markers
Authors: K. Demir, M. Bak�±r, G. Sar�±kam�±�� and S. Acunalp
Eggplant is a major crop in Turkey, which produces more of this crop than all of Europe; consequently, germplasm resources are of concern for the country. Molecular characterization of eggplant genotypes collected from different geographical regions of Turkey was carried out using SSR and RAPD markers. With amplification of fi.. Read More»

Chicken skeletal muscle satellite cells are located between the basement membrane and the sarcolemma of mature muscle fibers. Avian broilers have been genetically selected based on their high growth velocity and large muscle mass. The Wuding chicken is a famous local chicken in Yunnan Province that undergoes non-selection bree.. Read More»

Genetic diversity among melon accessions (Cucumis melo) from Turkey based on SSR markers
Authors: Y.A. Ka�§ar O. Simsek I. Solmaz N. Sari Y.Y. Mendi
Melon (Cucumis melo) is an important vegetable crop in Turkey, where it is grown in many regions; the most widely planted lines are local winter types belonging to the var. inodorous. We examined 81 melon genotypes collected from different provinces of Turkey, compared with 15 reference melon genotypes obtained from INRA/France, to determine genetic diversit.. Read More»
