Genetic diversity of Brazilian and introduced olive germplasms based on microsatellite markers
Authors: A.D.B. do Val, J.L. Ferreira, J. Vieira Neto, M. Pasqual, A.F. de Oliveira, A. Bor�©m and G.M.A. Can�§ado
Olive trees have been grown since the beginning of civilization, and the consumption of olives and olive products is increasing worldwide, due to their health benefits and organoleptic qualities. To meet the growing market for olives, commercial cultivation of this species is expanding from traditional areas to new regions. Al.. Read More»

Assessment of genetic relationship in Persea spp by traditional molecular markers
Authors: J.C. Reyes-Alem�¡n, E. Valadez-Moctezuma and A.F. Barrientos-Priego
Currently, the reclassification of the genus Persea is under discussion with molecular techniques for DNA analysis representing an alternative for inter- and intra-specific differentiation. In the present study, the traditional random-amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and the inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers were use.. Read More»

Genetic diversity in cassava landraces grown on farms in Alta Floresta-MT, Brazil
Authors: A.V. Tiago, A.A.B. Rossi, P.V. Tiago, A.A. Carpejani, B.M. Silva, E.S.S. Hoogerheide and O.M. Yamashita
Brazil is considered one of the domestication centers of cassava (Manihot esculenta), containing a large part of the biological diversity and traditional knowledge of the species. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the genetic diversity of cassava landraces grown by farmers in the north of Mato Grosso State, Brazil, .. Read More»

A molecular marker for in situ genetic resource conservation of Capsicum annuum var. acuminatum (Solanaceae)
Authors: N. Kaewdoungdee and T. Tanee
The Thailand cultivar pepper ‘phrik man bangchang’ (Capsicum annuum var. acuminatum, Solanaceae) was originally cultivated in the Bangchang Subdistrict, Amphawa District in Samut Songkhram Province. The cultivated areas are limited; we verified its distribution in Thailand for in situ ‘phrik man bangchang’ genetic resource conserva.. Read More»

Genetic diversity in local and commercial dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) accessions based on microsatellite markers
Authors: P.D.S. Cabral, T.C.B. Soares, A.B.P. Lima, F.D. de Miranda, F.B. Souza and L.S.A. Gon�§alves
Dry beans are considered to be a crop of great socio-economic importance, because they are an inexpensive source of nutrients and because their cultivation requires considerable manual labor. Studies of genetic diversity have been very important for genetic improvement programs, because they give parameters for the identificat.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of the Neotropical tree Hancornia speciosa Gomes in natural populations in Northeastern Brazil
Authors: H.J. Jimenez, L.S.S. Martins, A.V.V. Montarroyos, J.F. Silva Junior, A.L. Alzate-Marin and R.M. Moraes Filho
Mangabeira (Hancornia speciosa Gomes) is a fruit tree of the Apocynaceae family, which is native to Brazil and is a very important food resource for human populations in its areas of occurrence. Mangabeira fruit is collected as an extractive activity, and no domesticated varieties or breeding programs exist. Due to a reduction in the area of ecosystems wh.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of turmeric germplasm (Curcuma longa; Zingiberaceae) identified by microsatellite markers
Authors: M.S. Sigrist, J.B. Pinheiro, J.A. Azevedo Filho and M.I. Zucchi
Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a triploid, vegetatively propagated crop introduced early during the colonization of Brazil. Turmeric rhizomes are ground into a powder used as a natural dye in the food industry, although recent research suggests a greater potential for the development of drugs and cosmetics. In Brazil, little is k.. Read More»

Comparison of eight methods of genomic DNA extraction from babassu
Authors: J.P.G. Viana, A.N.C. Borges, A.C.A. Lopes, R.L.F. Gomes, F.B. Britto, P.S.C. Lima and S.E.S. Valente
Babassu (Orbignya phalerata Martius) is one of the most important palms in Brazil because of the largest morphological variation, wide geographic distribution, and high socio-economic importance. The diversity present in babassu germplasm should be protected against loss to ensure their use with high productivity. Study of the available variability in pop.. Read More»
