Hierarchical outcrossing among and within fruits in Bertholletia excelsa Bonpl. (Lecythidaceae) open-pollinated seeds
Authors: L.D. Giustina, A.B. Baldoni, H. Tonini, V.C.R. Azevedo, L.G. Neves, F.D. Tardin, A.M. Sebbenn
Knowing the mating patterns is important to determine the number of trees necessary for seed collection for conservation ex situ, tree breeding and environmental reforestation purposes. We investigated B. excelsa individuals and fruits, to check mating system index variations in a population by using open-pollinated seeds whic.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of arboreal cotton populations of the Brazilian semiarid: a remnant primary gene pool for cotton cultivars
Authors: I.P.P. de Menezes, L.V. Hoffmann, T.H. de Lima, A.R. da Silva, V.S. Lucena and P.A.V. Barroso
Mocó cotton belong to the same species as the cultivated species, Gossypium hirsutum, and cultivated forms were mainly landraces but also developed as cultivars, bearing good fiber quality and drought tolerant when cropped as a perennial species. The northeast Brazil crop system based on this cotton type is finished, wi.. Read More»

Population genetic structure of three species in the genus Astrocaryum G. Mey. (Arecaceae)
Authors: N.P. Oliveira, M.S.P. Oliveira, L.C. Davide and S. Kalisz
We assessed the level and distribution of genetic diversity in three species of the economically important palm genus Astrocaryum located in Pará State, in northern Brazil. Samples were collected in three municipalities for Astrocaryum aculeatum: Belterra, Santarém, and Terra Santa; and in two municipalities for .. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of polymorphic microsatellite markers for the chub mackerel (Scomber japonicus) and cross-species amplification in the blue mackerel (S. australasicus)
Authors: F.F. Chen, C.Y. Ma, L.P. Yan, H. Zhang, W. Wang, Y. Zhang and L.B. Ma
In this study, 10 polymorphic microsatellite markers were developed in Scomber japonicus and were examined on 30 individuals collected from the North Pacific. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 4 to 17. The observed and expected heterozygosities per locus ranged from 0.2759 to 0.8621 and from 0.43071 to 0.9177, respec.. Read More»

New microsatellite markers for the neotropical malaria vector Anopheles nuneztovari sensu lato A.S.
Authors: A.S. Cunha-Machado and V.M. Scarpassa
Anopheles nuneztovari sensu lato consists of cryptic species and genetic lineages, one of which is an important human malaria vector in the northern part of South America. Population structure and evolutionary genetics studies may help in the definition and delimitation of the species and lineages within this species complex, which is relevant information.. Read More»

Genetic diversity and differentiation of exotic and American commercial cattle breeds raised in Brazil
Authors: B.S.A.F. Brasil1,2,3*, E.G.A. Coelho1*, M.G. Drummond1,2 and D.A.A. Oliveira1
The Brazilian cattle population is mainly composed of breeds of zebuine origin and their American derivatives. Comprehensive knowledge about the genetic diversity of these populations is fundamental for animal breeding programs and the conservation of genetic resources. This study aimed to assess the phylogenetic relationships, levels of genetic diversity.. Read More»

Characterization and cross-species amplification of microsatellite markers in African Silverbill (Lonchura cantans)
Authors: N.R. Parine1, D. Kumar2, A.A.K. Pathan1, M.S. Elrobh1, W. Khan1,3 and M. Alanazi1
We tested the cross-amplification of eight microsatellites developed for Bengalese finch in African Silverbill (Lonchura cantans). In order to develop resources for conservation genetic studies in the species L. cantans, we tested the amplification success and polymorphism in eight previously developed microsatellite loci, in L. cantans. All eight microsa.. Read More»

Chinese raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides procyonoides) is one of the most important fur-bearing animal species. Information about the genetic background of farmed Chinese raccoon dogs is limited. In this study, 17 polymorphic microsatellite markers were isolated and identified from an (AC)n-microsatellite-enriched library of Chinese raccoon dogs. The.. Read More»
