Agronomic and molecular characterization of introgression lines from the interspecific cross Oryza sativa (BG90-2) x Oryza glumaepatula (RS-16)
Authors: P.N. Rangel, R.P.V. Brondani, P.H.N. Rangel and C. Brondani
The reduced genetic variability of modern rice varieties (Oryza sativa) is of concern because it reduces the possibilities of genetic gain in breeding programs. Introgression lines (ILs) containing genomic fragments from wild rice can be used to obtain new improved cultivars. The objective of the present study was to perform t.. Read More»

Genetic structure based on nuclear and chloroplast microsatellite loci of Solanum lycocarpum A. St. Hil. (Solanaceae) in Central Brazil
Authors: K. Martins, L.J. Chaves, R. Vencovsky and P.Y. Kageyama
Solanum lycocarpum (Solanaceae) is a woody species found in the Brazilian Cerrado. The flowers are pollinated by Xylocopa spp bees, and seeds are dispersed by mammals with distinct home range sizes. As a consequence, relative contributions of pollen and seeds to overall gene flow can vary according to different spatial scales... Read More»

Molecular characterization of the Andean blackberry, Rubus glaucus, using SSR markers
Authors: M. Marulanda, A.M. L�³pez and M. Uribe
The species Rubus glaucus, also known as the Andean or “Castilla” blackberry, is one of nine edible species of this genus that grow naturally in Central and South America. In Colombia, this species is the most important of all Rubus species for agricultural and commercial purposes. We used 20 SSRs developed for oth.. Read More»

Molecular cloning and characterization of a tocopherol cyclase gene from Lactuca sativa (Asteraceae)
Authors: Y.L. Tang, W.W. Ren, L. Zhang and K.X. Tang
Tocopherol cyclase is a rate-limiting enzyme involved in tocopherol biosynthesis. The full-length cDNA encoding tocopherol cyclase (designated as LsTC) was cloned from lettuce (Lactuca sativa) for the first time by rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) and characterized by means of quantitative RT-PCR. The full-length cDNA o.. Read More»

Sample sizes to estimate mean values for tassel traits in maize genotypes
Authors: C.A. Wartha, A. Cargnelutti Filho, A.D. L�ºcio, D.N. Follmann,J.A. Kleinpaul and F.M. Sim�µes
Tassel traits are important in maize breeding programs aiming to reduce the size and number of branches and maintain satisfactory pollen production in order to increase grain yield. The objectives of this study were to determine the sample size (number of tassels) required to estimate the mean values for tassel traits in maize.. Read More»

Resistance of soybean genotypes to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum isolates in different incubation environments
Authors: L.H.S. Castro, A.A. Figueir�³, A.P.O. Nogueira, S.J. Clough and F.C. Juliatti
Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is an important soybean pathogen. The objectives of this study were to evaluate levels of resistance of soybean genotypes to the fungus, and to determine the effects of different incubation environments on host resistance and pathogen aggressiveness. Two experiments were conducted using 103 genotypes f.. Read More»

Polymorphisms of the cocaine-amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART) gene and their association with reproductive traits in Chinese goats
Authors: P.Q. Wang, L.M. Deng, B.Y. Zhang, M.X. Chu and J.Z. Hou
Polymorphisms of the CART gene were investigated by PCR-single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis in 540 samples from 10 goat breeds. Ten novel single-nucleotide polymorphisms as well as three microsatellites were detected; a mutation, 77T→C, led to an amino acid change (Leu→Ser). Associations between polymorp.. Read More»

Population structure and genetic variation of the endangered species Elaeagnus mollis Diels (Elaeagnaceae)
Authors: J.M. Zhang and F. Zhang
Elaeagnus mollis Diels is a group of shrubs and dwarf trees endemic to China and are endangered plants. However, the reason why these plants are endangered remains controversial. The current study aimed to explore the endangered status of E. mollis from a genetic perspective and to propose conservation strategies for this species. Using 16 polymorphic all.. Read More»

Genetic relationships analysis of olive cultivars grown in China
Authors: M.M. Zhan, Z.Z. Cheng, G.C. Su, A.Y. Wang, H.P. Chen, Z.S. Yang, Z. Shan and Q.M. Huang
The olive tree is an iconic tree of the Mediterranean, and is used extensively to produce high-quality olive oil. Although the China olive industry has just begun to be valued, there were also existed mislabeling and synonyms in introduced cultivars. The aim of this study was to analyze genetic similarities among olive cultivars in China using SSR and ISS.. Read More»
