Authors: C.L. Chaves, E.A. Ruas, C.F. Ruas, J. Delfini, N.C. Bejatto, B.D. G?³es and P.M. Ruas
Phyla scaberrima (Verbenaceae) is a herbaceous species distributed from Mexico to Panama. Because of its well-known sweet properties and other medicinal uses, this species is cultivated in South America and the Caribbean. Phyla scaberrima has been arbitrarily extracted from nature, resulting in a severe reduc.. Read More»

Development of novel microsatellite markers for conservation genetic studies of Vulpes vulpes (Canidae) by using next-generation sequencing method
Authors: J.-N. Yu,C.-U. Chung,K.H. Oh,B.-K. Lee and C.E. Lim
The red fox, Vulpes vulpes (Canidae), is the most widely distributed terrestrial carnivore worldwide, but this species is classified as endangered in Korea. In this study, we developed 25 polymorphic microsatellite markers that included 3-13 (mean = 6.32) alleles per locus using 22 red fox individuals. The most polymorphic locus was FR(59)TG (13 alleles) .. Read More»

Genetic diversity in wild sweet cherries (Prunus avium) in Turkey revealed by SSR markers
Authors: S. Ercisli, G. Agar, N. Yildirim, B. Duralija, A. Vokurka and H. Karlidag
Wild sweet cherry (Prunus avium) trees are abundant in the northern part of Turkey, including the Coruh Valley. We analyzed 18 wild sweet cherry genotypes collected from diverse environments in the upper Coruh Valley in Turkey to determine genetic variation, using 10 SSR primers. These SSR primers generated 46 alleles; the num.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of novel polymorphic microsatellite loci in large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea)
Authors: X.Q. Wang, D. Zeng, X. Ma, G. Xiong, Z.Y. Wang and T. Sakamoto
The large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea) is one of the largest marine net-cage cultured species in the oceans around China. In the present study, we isolated and characterized 13 polymorphic microsatellite markers from genomic libraries of L. crocea. Loci were screened for 10 wild specimens from 2 sites in southeast of China. All loci were polymorph.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of eight novel microsatellite markers in Acanthopagrus schlegelii
Authors: X.Q. Mao, Z.B. Li, Y. Yuan, Y.F. Ning, J.B. Shangguan,Y.S. Huang, M Yang and B.B. Li
Acanthopagrus schlegelii is a warm temperate demersal fish, which inhabits the sediment substrate or rocky reefs in shallow seas. As this fish is a nutritionally endowed species with good palatability, it is a highly valuable commercial species for aquaculture and has a long historical standing in Western Pacific countries. Be.. Read More»

Structure and genetic diversity of natural Brazilian pepper populations (Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi)
Authors: S.V. ?lvares-Carvalho, J.F. Duarte, T.C. Santos, R.M. Santos, R. Silva-Mann and D. Carvalho
In the face of a possible loss of genetic diversity in plants due the environmental changes, actions to ensure the genetic variability are an urgent necessity. The extraction of Brazilian pepper fruits is a cause of concern because it results in the lack of seeds in soil, hindering its distribution in space and time. It is imp.. Read More»

Development of microsatellite markers in Hagenia abyssinica (Bruce) J.F. Gmel, an endangered tropical tree of eastern Africa, using next-generation sequencing
Authors: A.W. Gichira, Z.C. Long, G.W. Hu, R.W. Gituru, Q.F. Wang and J.M. Chen
Hagenia abyssinica (Bruce) J.F. Gmel is an endangered tree species endemic to the high mountains of tropical Africa. We used Illumina paired-end technology to sequence its nuclear genome, aiming at creating the first genomic data library and developing the first set of genomic microsatellites. Seventeen microsatellite markers were validated in 24 individu.. Read More»

Polymorphic microsatellite markers in the traditional Chinese medicinal plant Paris polyphylla var. yunnanensis
Authors: Y. Song, M.F. Li, J. Xu, Z. Zha and N.Z. Chen
Paris polyphylla var. yunnanensis is a traditional Chinese medicinal plant and is listed as vulnerable by the IUCN. This medicinal herb is well known for its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, most notably as an ingredient of the hemostatic compound “Yunnan Baiyao”. However, over-exploitation of the plant for economic purposes is push.. Read More»

Authors: M. Delghandi, S. Goddard, D.R. Jerry, H.T. Dao, H. Afzal and S.S. Al-Jardani
Of the various spiny lobster species in the tropical and subtropical Indo-West Pacific region, the tropical scalloped spiny lobster (Panulirus homarus) supports one of the most commercially valuable fishery resources in many coastal African and Asian countries. The last decade has witnessed a serious decline in the wild populations of this species. Knowle.. Read More»
