Isolation and partial characterization of a root-specific promoter for stacking multiple traits into cassava (Manihot esculenta CRANTZ)

Authors: M.A. Gbadegesin and J.R. Beeching

Cassava can be cultivated on impoverished soils with minimum inputs, and its storage roots are a staple food for millions in Africa. However, these roots are low in bioavailable nutrients and in protein content, contain cyanogenic glycosides, and suffer from a very short post-harvest shelf-life, and the plant is susceptible to..

Genetic parameters and prediction of genotypic values for root quality traits in cassava using REML/BLUP

Authors: E.J. Oliveira, F.A. Santana, L.A. Oliveira and V.S. Santos

The aim of this study was to estimate the genetic parameters and predict the genotypic values of root quality traits in cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) using restricted maximum likelihood (REML) and best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP). A total of 471 cassava accessions were evaluated over two years of cultivatio.. Read More»

Genetic characterization of hatchery populations of Korean spotted sea bass (Lateolabrax maculatus) using multiplex polymerase chain reaction assays

Authors: H.S. An, H.Y. Kim, J.B. Kim, D.S. Chang, K.D. Park, J.W. Lee, J.I. Myeong and C.M. An

The spotted sea bass, Lateolabrax maculatus, is an important commercial and recreational fishery resource in Korea. Aquacultural production of this species has increased because of recent resource declines, growing consumption, and ongoing government-operated stock release programs. Therefore, the genetic characterization of h.. Read More»

Genetic relationships of the Japanese persimmon Diospyros kaki (Ebenaceae) and related species revealed by SSR analysis

Authors: D.L. Guo and Z.R. Luo

Simple sequence repeat (SSR) molecular markers based on 18 primers were employed to study the genetic relationship of Japanese persimmon (Diospyros kaki) specimens. Two hundred and sixty-two bands were detected in 30 Japanese persimmon samples, including 14 Japanese and 10 Chinese genotypes of Japanese persimmon (Diospyros kak.. Read More»

High segregation distortion in maize B73 x teosinte crosses

Authors: G. Wang, Q.Q. He, Z.K. Xu and R.T. Song

Two genetic linkage maps of cultivated maize inbred lines and teosinte species were constructed. One population comprised 81 F2 individuals derived from a cross between maize inbred line B73 and Zea mays ssp parviglumis, while the second consisted of 63 backcross individuals from a cross of maize inbred line B73 with Z. mays s..

Molecular characterization and RAPD analysis of Juniperus species from Iran

Authors: J. Kasaian, J. Behravan, M. Hassany, S.A. Emami, F. Shahriari and M.H. Khayyat

The genus Juniperus L. (Cupressaceae), an aromatic evergreen plant, consists of up to 68 species around the world. We classified five species of Juniperus found in Iran using molecular markers to provide a means for molecular identification of Iranian species. Plants were collected (three samples of each species) from two diff.. Read More»

Genetic diversity and flooding survival in Aegiphila sellowiana (Lamiaceae), a typical tree species from upland riparian forests

Authors: C. Medri, E.A. Ruas, M.E. Medri, C.F. Ruas, S. Sayhun, P.S. Medri, D.C.G. Silva, E. Bianchini3 and P.M. Ruas

Saplings of Aegiphila sellowiana were submitted to flooding and analysis of genetic diversity in order to investigate flooding tolerance as well as its genetic determination. This response is important because it means that some lines could be planted in degraded riparian areas. Leaves were sampled from each plant, and they we.. Read More»

Paternity identification in sugarcane polycrosses by using microsatellite markers

Authors: M.A. Xavier , L.R. Pinto , T.M. F�¡vero, D. Perecin , L.A. Carlini-Garcia and M.G.A. Landell

Although polycrosses have been used to test the potential of cross-combination of a large number of sugarcane parents, the male parent of the half-sib progenies produced is unknown. The present study aimed to integrate the molecular marker technology to the sugarcane polycross approach by the application of microsatellite mark.. Read More»

Polymorphism of starch pathway genes in cassava

Authors: L.M. Vasconcelos, A.C. Brito, C.D. Carmo and E.J. Oliveira

The distribution and frequency of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) can help to understand changes associated with characteristics of interest. We aimed to evaluate nucleotide diversity in six genes involved in starch biosynthesis in cassava using a panel of 96 unrelated accessions. The genes were sequenced, aligned, and .. Read More»
