Authors: I. Gatti, M.A. Esp?³sito, P. Almir?³n, V.P. Cravero and E.L. Cointry
We characterized 13 accessions of dry peas of different origins from various growing regions in Argentina, based on three replications of 20 plants cultivated in 2009 and 2010 in a greenhouse, with the objective of selecting those with favorable characteristics for use in breeding programs. Significant differences were found f.. Read More»

Heterozygosities and genetic relationship of tea cultivars revealed by simple sequence repeat markers and implications for breeding and genetic mapping programs
Authors: L.Q. Tan, C.C. Zhang, G.N. Qi, L.Y. Wang, K. Wei, S.X. Chen1,Y. Zou, L.Y. Wu and H. Cheng
Genetic maps are essential tools for quantitative trait locus analysis and marker-assisted selection breeding. In order to select parents that are highly heterozygous for genetic mapping, the heterozygosity (HS) of 24 tea cultivars (Camellia sinensis) was analyzed with 72 simple sequence repeat markers. In total, 359 alleles were obtained with an average of .. Read More»

Molecular mapping of genes for opposite leafing in maize using simple-sequence repeat markers
Authors: Y.Q. Tan, C.X. Xie, H.Y. Jiang, H. Ye, Y. Xiang, S.W. Zhu and B.J. Cheng
Maize with opposite phyllotaxy (OP) and also initiating ears in opposite pairs is an aberrant mutant and also precious material for maize breeding and plant evolution studies. Mapping and identifying the markers closely linked to genes for the OP trait are essential for cloning the gene and marker-assisted selection in breedin.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of the anthocyanidin genes pal, f3h and dfr of Scutellaria viscidula (Lamiaceae)
Authors: W. Lei, R.X. Yao, X.H. Kang, S.H. Tang, A.M. Qiao and M. Sun
Anthocyanidin is a group of flavonoid compounds used as a vegetable pigment and plays an important role in flower coloration and environmental adaptations of the Chinese ornamental plant Scutellaria viscidula. We determined the cDNA sequences of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (SvPAL), flavanone 3-hydroxylase (SvF3H) and dihydrofl.. Read More»

Identification of genes involved in spontaneous leaf color variation in Pseudosasa japonica
Authors: H.Y. Yang, X.W. Xia, W. Fang, Y. Fu, M.M. An and M.B. Zhou
Spontaneous leaf color variation in bamboo provides the opportunity to study the mechanisms of leaf color formation and the breeding of ornamental bamboos. Despite the fact that many genes are known to be involved in leaf color variation in model plants, molecular mechanisms governing natural leaf color variation in bamboo hav.. Read More»

Genetic diversity analysis of an indigenous Chinese buffalo breed and hybrids based on microsatellite data
Authors: W.C. Yang, K.Q. Tang, J. Mei, W.B. Zeng and L.G. Yang
Chinese native buffaloes have faced the threat of extinction, along with an increase in crossbreeding with domesticated river buffaloes; consequently, conservation of local buffalo genetic resources has become a priority. A Chinese native breed, Jianghan, is often crossed intentionally and unintentionally with imported breeds .. Read More»

Assessing wheat (Triticum aestivum) genotypes for â??Yrâ? resistance genes using conserved regions and simple-sequence motifs
Authors: E. Cabuk, Y. Aydin and A.A. Uncuoglu
Analysis of DNA sequence variation among genotypes is useful for differentiation of wheat accessions, selection strategies and genetic development of crop plants. We screened molecular markers for yellow rust resistance genes (Yr7, Yr9, Yr15, Yr18, Yr26, and YrH52), which are in the gene-rich regions of wheat chromosomes 1B, 2.. Read More»

Gene expression, serum amino acid levels, and growth performance of pigs fed dietary leucine and lysine at different ratios
Authors: H. Garc?a, A. Morales, A. Araiza, J.K. Htoo and M. Cervantes
We examined 96 pigs (28.1 ± 0.83 kg) to analyze the effect of Leu:Lys ratios on expression of the cationic amino acid transporters b0,+ and CAT-1 in the jejunum and liver as well as myosin expression in 2 muscles to estimate the optimum standardized ileal digestible (SID) Leu:Lys ratio for growth rate and efficiency. A wheat-and wheat bran-based di.. Read More»
