Assessment of genetic diversity and variation of Robinia pseudoacacia seeds induced by short-term spaceflight based on two molecular marker systems and morphological traits
Authors: C.Q. Yuan Y.F. Li P. Sun Y.H. Sun G.J. Zhang M.S. Yang Y.Y. Zhang Y. Li L. Wang
The black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) is a forest legume that is highly valued as a honey plant and for its wood. We explored the effect of short-term spaceflight on development of R. pseudoacacia seedlings derived from seeds that endured a 15-day flight; the genetic diversity and variation of plants sampled from space-mutagenized seeds were compared to pl..

QTL mapping of soybean oil content for marker-assisted selection in plant breeding program
Authors: D.C. Leite1, J.B. Pinheiro2, J.B. Campos2, A.O. Di Mauro1 and S.H. Un�ªda-Trevisoli1
The present study was undertaken to detect and map the quantitative trait loci (QTL) related to soybean oil content. We used 244 progenies derived from a bi-parental cross of the Lineage 69 (from Universidade Estadual Paulista “Júlio de Mesquita Filho”/Faculdade de Ciências Agrárias e Veterinárias - Breeding Program)..

Genetic stability of micropropagated plants of Crambe abyssinica Hochst using ISSR markers
Authors: E.T. Werner, T.C.B. Soares, A.B.P.L. Gontijo, J.D. Souza Neto and J.A.T. do Amaral
Crambe (Crambe abyssinica) is a non-edible annual herb, which was first cultivated to extract oil for industry, and now has great potential for biodiesel production. The objective of this investigation was to evaluate the genetic stability of micropropagated plants of the C. abyssinica Hochst cultivar ‘FMS brilhante’ using polymerase chain rea.. Read More»

Genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationship among Tunisian cactus species (Opuntia) as revealed by random amplified microsatellite polymorphism markers
Authors: M. Bendhifi Zarroug, G. Baraket, L. Zourgui, S. Souid and A. Salhi Hannachi
Opuntia ficus indica is one of the most economically important species in the Cactaceae family. Increased interest in this crop stems from its potential contribution to agricultural diversification, application in the exploitation of marginal lands, and utility as additional income sources for farmers. In Tunisia, O. ficus indica has been affected by dras.. Read More»

Genetic characterization of heat tolerant tomato (Solanum lycopersicon) genotypes by SRAP and RAPD markers
Authors: N. Comlekcioglu, O. Simsek, M. Boncuk and Y. Aka-Kacar
We employed RAPD and sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) markers to evaluate polymorphisms in 15 tomato (Solanum lycopersicon) genotypes that were obtained from a tomato breeding program. Four local tomato genotypes selected from the Sanliurfa province (Southeastern Anatolia Region of Turkey), 10 heat-tolerant tomat.. Read More»

Variable number of tandem repeat markers in the genome sequence of Mycosphaerella fijiensis, the causal agent of black leaf streak disease of banana (Musa spp)
Authors: S.A.L. Garcia*, T.A.J. Van der Lee*, C.F. Ferreira*, B. Te Lintel Hekkert, M.-F. Zapater, S.B. Goodwin, M. Guzm�¡n, G.H.J. Kema and M.T. Souza Jr.
We searched the genome of Mycosphaerella fijiensis for molecular markers that would allow population genetics analysis of this plant pathogen. M. fijiensis, the causal agent of banana leaf streak disease, also known as black Sigatoka, is the most devastating pathogen attacking bananas (Musa spp). Recently, the entire genome se.. Read More»

Association of CAPN1 316, CAPN1 4751 and TG5 markers with bovine meat quality traits in Mexico
Authors: C.A. Bonilla, M.S. Rubio, A.M. Sifuentes, G.M. Parra-Bracamonte, V.W. Arellano, M.R.D. M�©ndez, J.M. Berruecos and R. Ortiz
We examined allele and genotype frequencies for the molecular markers CAPN1 316, CAPN1 4751 and TG5, and determined whether they are associated with beef quality traits in Mexican cattle. One hundred and twenty-four longissimus dorsi muscle samples were collected from cattle from north, central and southern Mexico. CAPN1 316 a.. Read More»

High degree of genetic diversity among genotypes of the forage grass Brachiaria ruziziensis (Poaceae) detected with ISSR markers
Authors: A.L.S. Azevedo, P.P. Costa, M.A. Machado, C.M.P. de Paula and F.S. Sobrinho
The grasses of the genus Brachiaria account for 80% of the cultivated pastures in Brazil. Despite its importance for livestock production, little information is available for breeding purposes. Embrapa has a population of B. ruziziensis from different regions of Brazil, representing most of existing variability. This populatio.. Read More»

RAPD analysis of the genetic diversity of mango (Mangifera indica) germplasm in Brazil
Authors: I.G.B. Souza, S.E.S. Valente, F.B. Britto, V.A.B. de Souza and P.S.C. Lima
We evaluated genetic variability of mango (Mangifera indica) accessions maintained in the Active Germplasm Bank of Embrapa Meio-Norte in Teresina, Piauí, Brazil, using RAPDs. Among these accessions, 35 originated from plantings in Brazil, six from the USA and one from India. Genomic DNA, extracted from leaf material usi.. Read More»
