Identification of earl millet cultivars using both microsatellites and enzymatic markers
Authors: R.P. Mendon�§a Neto E.V.R. Von Pinho B.L. Carvalho G.S. Pereira
The increasing number of protected and registered cultivars and problems involving seed commercialization make distinction and identification of cultivars imperative. Millet (Pennisetum glaucum), a crop species with protected cultivars in Brazil, has been the target of seed piracy. Thus, with the objective of identifying different lots with regard to origin,..

Genetic divergence among Brazilian garlic cultivars based on morphological characters and AFLP markers
Authors: R.G.F. Morales J.T.V. Resende F.V. Resende C.A. Delatorre A.S.T. Figueiredo P.R. Da-Silva
Outside its centers of origin, garlic propagates only asexually. Since asexual reproduction leads to the absence of meiotic recombination, the main garlic cultivars available for cultivation have arisen from the accumulation of somatic mutations in early cultivars. Thus, it is common for a single clone to have different names in different regions. This st.. Read More»

Microsatellite markers for genetic studies of the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda
Authors: V.A.C. Pavinato S. Martinelli P.F. de Lima M.I. Zucchi C. Omoto
We developed six microsatellite markers for the fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). The SSR loci were isolated with enriched genomic library protocol by using native individuals as a genome source for markers. These loci were characterized in 48 individuals and they were tested for the ability to identify candidate migrants excha.. 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»

SSR analysis demonstrates that olive production in the southern Marmara region in Turkey uses a single genotype
Authors: A. Ipek, E. Barut, H. Gulen, A.T. Oz, N.A. Tangu and M. Ipek
The southern Marmara region in Turkey was surveyed to determine the olive cultivars that are used for olive production. Genetic diversity analysis using simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers indicated that the cultivar Gemlik is the major olive cultivar grown in this region, while other olive cultivars are grown only for use as..

Multivariate analysis to determine the genetic distance among backcross papaya (Carica papaya) progenies
Authors: H.C.C. Ramos, M.G. Pereira, L.S.A. Gon�§alves, A.P.C.G. Berilli, F.O. Pinto and E.H. Ribeiro
Morpho-agronomic and molecular (RAPD and ISSR markers) data were used to evaluate genetic distances between papaya backcross progenies in order to help identify agronomically superior genotypes. Thirty-two papaya progenies were evaluated based on 15 morpho-agronomic characteristics, 20 ISSR and 19 RAPD primers. Manhattan, Jacc.. Read More»

Population genetic structure in Phyla scaberrima from Mexico and Colombia assessed by AFLP markers and implications for conservation
Authors: L.G. Androcioli, E.A. Ruas, L.A. Rodrigues, C.F. Ruas , H.E.R. Perilla, P.M. Ruas
Phyla scaberrima (Verbenaceae) is a herbaceous perennial species that is distributed from Mexico (center of origin) to Colombia, growing in forest and swamp edges or grasslands from sea level up to an altitude of 1800 m. The chemical properties and uses in popular medicine have drastically affected the population siz.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of yacon accessions using ISSR markers
Authors: R.M. Lorenzoni, F. Menine, E. Marques J�ºnior, F.L. Oliveira and T.C.B. Soares
Yacon cultivation has been intensified and the investigations of this crop have increased at the scientific, agricultural, and social levels because the roots of yacon show beneficial properties for human health, such as reducing cholesterol and glucose blood levels. Since the investigations involving yacon are very recent, th.. Read More»

Molecular characterization of olive cultivars using amplified fragment length polymorphism markers
Authors: S. Ercisli, E. Barut and A. Ipek
We sampled six olive cultivars (Tavli Sati, Sati, Gorvela, Sacakli Otur, Butko, and Otur) from Coruh Valley, located in the northeast part of Turkey, and characterized them using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers. Some morphological and biochemical characteristics are also determined. Six AFLP primer combin.. Read More»
