Authors: W. Wang, M. Zhang, H.D. Chen, X.X. Cai, M.L. Xu, K.Y. Lei, J.H. Niu, L. Deng, J. Liu, Z.J. Ge, S.X. Yu and B.H. Wang
In this study, a methylation-sensitive amplification polymorphism analysis system was used to analyze DNA methylation level in three cotton accessions. Two disease-sensitive near-isogenic lines, PD94042 and IL41, and one disease-resistant Gossypium mustelinum accession were exposed to Verticillium wilt, to investigate molecula.. Read More»

Genome-wide polymorphisms between the parents of an elite hybrid rice and the development of a novel set of PCR-based InDel markers
Authors: K. Wang, J.Y. Zhuang, D.R. Huang, J.Z. Ying and Y.Y. Fan
Genome-wide re-sequencing of the Zhenshan 97 (ZS97) and Milyang 46 (MY46) parents of an elite three-line hybrid rice developed in China resulted in the generation of 9.91 G bases of data with an effective sequencing depth of 11.66x and 11.51x, respectively. Detection of genome-wide DNA polymorphisms, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), short insertion.. Read More»

Dissimilarity between Mouriri elliptica (Mart.) plants cultivated in vitro and in situ through anatomic parameters
Authors: E.S. Assis, A. Rubio Neto, P.D.S. Cabral, F.G. Silva, L.R. Lima and S.C. Vasconcelos Filho
Mouriri elliptica (Mart.) is a genetic resource of the Cerrado domain, which has potential for food and medicinal use. A few studies have been performed on its in vitro propagation, and no studies have examined dissimilarities between plants of this species when cultivated in situ or in vitro. Therefore, the objective of the p.. Read More»

Characterization and comparison of flower bud microRNAs from yellow-horn species
Authors: Y. Ao
An increasing number of microRNAs (miRNAs) are known to play crucial regulatory roles in floral organ differentiation and development. Yellow-horn (Xanthoceras sorbifolia Bunge) is an oil-rich seed shrub that has great potential for biodiesel production. To evaluate the roles of miRNAs in the regulation of flower development, ..

Construction of a molecular database for soybean cultivar identification in Brazil
Authors: M.B. Oliveira, E.S.N. Vieira and I. Schuster
The narrow genetic base of soybean makes cultivar characterization based on morphological descriptors difficult; this characterization is mainly done for registration and protection. Correct characterization of cultivars could be achieved through molecular markers, since the frequencies of each allele in the population are kno.. Read More»

Genetic characterization of natural populations of the medicinal plant Palicourea coriacea (Rubiaceae) with molecular markers
Authors: T.C.S. Barbosa, S.T. Sibov, M.P.C. Telles and T.N. Soares
Palicourea coriacea (Rubiaceae) is a herbaceous, perennial species typical of the Cerrado; it is popularly known as “douradinha”, because of its yellow flowers. It is utilized in popular medicine, mainly for the treatment of renal diseases. We used RAPD markers to evaluate the genetic structure of nine natural popu.. Read More»

An expression profiling analysis of hybrid millet and its parents at grain filling stage
Authors: Z.H. Liu, H.M. Zhang, G.L. Li, Y.M. Zhang, H.C. Li and X.L. Guo
Heterosis has been widely used in crop breeding and production. However, a shortage of genes known to function in heterosis significantly limits our understanding of the molecular basis underlying heterosis. Here, we report 740 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the leaves of the hybrid millet Zhang No.5 and its parents at the grain filling stage de.. Read More»

Development of novel simple sequence repeat markers from a genomic sequence survey database and their application for diversity assessment in Jatropha curcas germplasm from Guatemala
Authors: R.S. Raposo, I.G.B. Souza, M.E.C. Veloso, A.K. Kobayashi, B.G. Laviola and F.M. Diniz
The last few years have seen a significant increase in the number of large-scale sequencing projects generating whole genome databases. These sequence databases can be surveyed (genome sequence survey) for tandem repeats as an alternative means to develop microsatellites for monitoring and selecting natural populations and cul..

Genetic divergence in the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in the Cerrado-Pantanal ecotone
Authors: F.A. da Silva, A.M. Corr�?ªa, P.E. Teodoro, K.V. Lopes, C.C.G. Corr�?ªa
Evaluating genetic diversity among genotypes is important for providing parameters for the identification of superior genotypes, because the choice of parents that form segregating populations is crucial. Our objectives were to i) evaluate agronomic performance; ii) compare clustering methods; iii) ascertain the relative contr.. Read More»

pelB gene in isolates of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides from several hosts
Authors: L.V. Medeiros, D.B. Maciel, V.V. Medeiros, L.M. Houllou Kido and N.T. Oliveira
Colletotrichum gloeosporioides is an important pathogen for a great number of economically important crops. During the necrotrophic phase of infection by Colletotrichum spp, the degradative enzymes of plant cell walls, such as pectate lyase, clearly increase. A gene pelB that expresses a pectate lyase was identified in isolate.. Read More»
