Genetic diversity analysis of tree peony germplasm using iPBS markers
Authors: Y.B. Duan, D.L. Guo, L.L. Guo, D.F. Wei and X.G. Hou
We examined the genetic diversity of 10 wild species (populations) and 55 varieties of tree peony using inter-primer binding site (iPBS) markers. From a total of 36 iPBS primers, 16 were selected based on polymorphic amplification. The number of bands amplified by each primer ranged from 9 to 19, with an average of 12.88 bands per primer. The length of ba.. Read More»

Molecular characterization of Ephedra species found in Pakistan
Authors: S. Ghafoor, M.M. Shah, H. Ahmad, Z.A. Swati, S.H. Shah, A. Pervez and U. Farooq
Ephedra, also known as “ma huang”, is a dioecious, drought- and frost-resistant, perennial, evergreen shrub with compelling medicinal value. The genus is represented by 42 species around the world, 9 of which were provisionally reported from Pakistan. Species of the genus have a controversial taxonomy due to their .. Read More»

Genetic structure in Brazilian breeding colonies of the Roseate Spoonbill (Platalea ajaja, Aves: Threskiornithidae)
Authors: Mino CI and Del Lama SN
Roseate Spoonbills (Platalea ajaja, Linnaeus) are wading birds present in two of the most important Brazilian wetlands: the Pantanal wetlands and Rio Grande do Sul marshes. Natural populations of these species have not been previously studied with variable nuclear molecular markers. In order to support decision making regardin.. Read More»

Molecular cytogenetic analysis of a ring-Y infertile male patient
Authors: Carvalho FM, Wolfgramm EV, Degasperi I, Verbeno BM, Vianna BA, Chagas FF, Perroni AMS, Paula F and Louro ID
In the present study, we report on the case of a 43-yearold male patient seeking for fertility assistance, who showed a seminal analysis and testicular biopsy of complete azoospermia. Peripheral blood culture for chromosome studies revealed a karyotype of 46 chromosomes with a ring-Y-chromosome that lost the long arm heterochr.. Read More»

Estimation of genetic diversity in a natural population of cambui tree (Myrciaria tenella O. Berg) using ISSR markers
Authors: J.G.S. Santana, A.L.S. Nascimento, T.S. Costa, T.M.B. de Almeida, A.R.C. Rabbani and A.V.C. Silva
Cambui (Myrciaria tenella O. Berg) is a native species from Brazil, which belongs to the family Myrtaceae. Molecular characterization is one of the most used tools for the study of the biotechnological potential of species because the diversity level between individuals can be inferred. Analysis of genetic diversity is fundame.. Read More»

Association of BoLA-DRB3.2 alleles with tick (Boophilus microplus) resistance in cattle
Authors: M.L. Martinez, M.A. Machado, C.S. Nascimento, M.V.G.B. Silva, R.L. Teodoro, J. Furlong, M.C.A. Prata, A.L. Campos, M.F.M. Guimar�£es, A.L.S. Azevedo, M.F.A. Pires and R.S. Verneque
Losses caused by bovine tick burdens in tropical countries have a tremendous economic impact on production systems. Besides reducing production, this parasite can cause death in the most susceptible animals. The use of commercial acaricides has been the major method of control, but their misuse has led to tick resistance to ma.. Read More»

Molecular identification of Greek olive (Olea europaea) cultivars based on microsatellite loci
Authors: K. Roubos, M. Moustakas and F.A. Aravanopoulos
Olea europaea is one of the oldest species of domesticated trees. We used microsatellite markers for fingerprinting and for evaluation of genetic similarity and structure of 26 Greek olive cultivars, which cover most of the olive cultivation regions of Greece, including previously undescribed denominations from northern Greece..

Genetic diversity and relatedness between Canind�© and British Alpine goat breeds in Northeastern Brazil accessed by microsatellite markers
Authors: T.S. C�¢mara, J.F. Nunes, F.M. Diniz, G.R. Silva, A.M. Ara�ºjo
The aim of this study was to access the genetic diversity and relatedness between CanindÃ?© and British Alpine goat breeds in the States of PiauÃ? and CearÃ?¡ using microsatellite markers. Genomic DNA was isolated from hair samples of 99 goats belonging to six different flocks. A panel of polymorphic heterologous microsatellite loci was used to genotype .. Read More»

Genetic dissection of agronomic traits in Capsicum baccatum var. pendulum
Authors: M.M. Moulin, R. Rodrigues, C.S. Bento, L.S.A. Gon�§alves,J.O. Santos, C.P. Sudr�© and A.P. Viana
Genetic mapping is very useful for dissecting complex agronomic traits. Genetic mapping allows for identification of quantitative trait loci (QTL), provide knowledge on a gene position and its adjacent region, and enable prediction of evolutionary mechanisms, in addition to contributing to synteny studies. The aim of this study was to predict genetic valu.. Read More»

Genetic variability analysis of Byrsonima crassifolia germplasm collected in Par�¡ State using ISSR markers
Authors: S.M. Rodrigues, E.F. Moura, G.K.S. Ramos and M.S.P. Oliveira
Native of the Amazon, the nanche (Byrsonima crassifolia) is a fruit cultivated by family farmers and used in cooking; as such, it represents an opportunity for regional agribusiness. The Embrapa Eastern Amazon set up an active germplasm bank (BAG) consisting of 22 accessions sampled in 11 municipalities of Pará State. D.. Read More»
