First record of soybean stem fly Melanagromyza sojae (Diptera: Agromyzidae) in Paraguay confirmed by molecular evidence
Authors: J.V.C. Guedes, J.A. Arnemann, L.E. Curioletti, L.M. Burtet, M.L. RamÃ?Ârez-Paredes, D. Noschang, F. Irala de Oliveira and W.T. Tay
We provided the first scientific record of Melanagromyza sojae (Zehntner, 1900), through molecular characterization of partial mtDNA COI gene, that confirms the occurrence of this pest in Paraguay. Previously reported in Brazil, an outbreak of larvae of M. sojae known as the soybean stem fly (SSF) that belongs to the family Ag.. Read More»

Analysis of genetic diversity of Hyptis pectinata (L.) Poit. plants using ISSR markers
Authors: R.B. Feitosa-Alcantara, A.V.C. Silva, A.F. Blank, C.S. Almeida, S.V. Alvares-Carvalho and M.F. Arrigoni-Blank
Hyptis pectinata, popularly known as ‘sambacaitá’ or ‘canudinho’, is a medicinal and aromatic species widely used in the Brazilian Northeast. In Sergipe, the excessive extraction of natural resources may reduce the genetic variability of native plants. Thus, molecular markers have frequently been.. Read More»

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»

Selection of Jatropha full-sib families based on genotypic adaptability and stability via mixed models
Authors: E.V. Rodrigues, P.E. Teodoro, L.A. Peixoto, L.A. Silva, B.G. Laviola and L.L. Bhering
The objectives of this study were to estimate the genetic parameters for Jatropha full-sib families and to select superior genotypes based on grain yield, adaptability, and stability simultaneously to be used for cloning and crossings. Grain yield was evaluated in thirteen full-sib families in a randomized block design for 5 y.. Read More»
