The yellow-throated marten (Martes flavigula Boddaert 1785) is a medium-sized carnivore and a top predator in South Korea that is distributed throughout Western and Southeast Asia and Siberia in a wide range of habitats. In this study, we developed a panel of polymorphic microsatellite markers for M. flavigula by Illumina next.. Read More»

Contemporary pollen and seed dispersal in natural populations of Bertholletia excelsa (Bonpl.)
Authors: A.B. Baldoni, L.H.O. Wadt, T. Campos, V.S. Silva, V.C.R. Azevedo, L.R. Mata, A.A. Botin, N.O. Mendes, F.D. Tardin, H. Tonini, E.S.S. Hoogerheide and A.M. Sebbenn
Due to the nutritional content and commercial value of its seeds, Bertholletia excelsa is one of the most important species exploited in the Amazon region. The species is hermaphroditic, insect pollinated, and its seeds are dispersed by barochory and animals. Because the fruit set is dependent on natural pollinator activity, g.. Read More»

A RAPD-PCR-based genetic diversity analysis of Helicoverpa armigera and H. zea populations in Brazil
Authors: H.M. Lopes, C.S. Bastos, L.S. Boiteux, J. Foresti and F.A. Suinaga
Helicoverpa armigera is the most significant pest of agriculture in Asia, Europe, Africa, and Australasia, causing damage to crops greater than US$2 billion annually and until 2013 it was not detected in Brazil. Helicoverpa zea is restricted to the American continent and is important to corn and a secondary pest of cotton and .. Read More»

Analysis of Mendelian inheritance and genetic linkage in microsatellite loci of Eucalyptus urophylla S.T. Blake
Authors: S. Pupin, L.N. Rosse, I.C.G. Souza, J. Cambuim, C.L. Marino, M.L.T. Moraes and A.M. Sebbenn
Eucalyptus urophylla is an important species in the Brazilian forest sector due to its rapid growth rates and resistance to disease. The aim of this study was to verify Mendelian inheritance, genetic linkage, and genotypic disequilibrium for 15 microsatellite loci, with the goal of producing a robust set of genetic markers. Me..

Genetic diversity analysis in Malaysian giant prawns using expressed sequence tag microsatellite markers for stock improvement program
Authors: K.H. Atin, A. Christianus, N. Fatin, A.C. Lutas, M. Shabanimofrad and B. Subha
The Malaysian giant prawn is among the most commonly cultured species of the genus Macrobrachium. Stocks of giant prawns from four rivers in Peninsular Malaysia have been used for aquaculture over the past 25 years, which has led to repeated harvesting, restocking, and transplantation between rivers. Consequently, a stock impr.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of microsatellite DNA loci for wild Brassica juncea (Brassicaceae)
Authors: Y. Li1, X.Q. Sun2, Q.Q. Yan2, J.L. Guo2, S. Qiang1, X.L. Song1 and M.M. Li2
Wild Brassica juncea is a widespread weed in China with increasingly great impact on the yield of many crops. This study aimed to develop microsatellite markers for assessing the genetic diversity and population genetic structure of B. juncea, and to provide basic information for biological and chemical control of the weed. The compound microsatellite mar.. 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»

Inbreeding effects in Solanum lycocarpum A. St.-Hil populations, an endangered species of the Brazilian Cerrado
Authors: T.M. Moura, M.V.B.M. Siqueira, G.C.X. Oliveira
The inbreeding effective population size is an estimate of inbreeding and genetic drift in populations. It is an important tool for conservation genetics because it represents the number of individuals that are effectively contributing alleles to the subsequent generations. Several studies have been published in the last decad.. Read More»

Mendelian inheritance, genetic linkage, and genotypic disequilibrium at nine microsatellite loci of Cariniana legalis (Mart.) O. Kuntze
Authors: E.V. Tambarussi1, R. Vencovsky1, M.L.M. Freitas2 and A.M. Sebbenn3
Cariniana legalis is one of the largest tropical trees with a wide distribution in the Brazilian Atlantic rainforest. We investigated the Mendelian inheritance, genetic linkage, and genotypic disequilibrium at seven microsatellite loci specifically isolated for C. legalis, and at two previously developed heterologous microsatellite loci. Forty to 100 open.. Read More»

Mendelian inheritance, linkage and genotypic disequilibrium in microsatellite loci isolated from Hymenaea courbaril (Leguminosae)
Authors: F.S. Carneiro, A.E.B. Lacerda, M.R. Lemes, R. Gribel, M. Kanashiro and A.M. Sebbenn
The Neotropical tree Hymenaea courbaril, locally known as Jatobá, is a valuable source of lumber and also produces comestible and medicinal fruit. We characterized Mendelian inheritance, linkage and genotypic disequilibrium at nine microsatellite loci isolated from H. courbaril, in order to determine if they would provi.. Read More»
