A 425 T>C polymorphism in complement C7 association with resistance to Aeromonas hydrophila in grass carp
Authors: Y.B. Shen, J.B. Zhang, J.J. Fu, X.Y. Xu, J.L. Li R.Q. Wang and Y.F. Xuan
Aeromonas hydrophila, a widespread bacterium in the aquatic environment, causes hemorrhagic septicemia in fish. In the last decade, the disease has caused mass mortalities and tremendous economic loss in cultured fish. The complement component C7 is a terminal component of complement that interacts in a sequence of polymerizat.. Read More»

Karyological features of wild and cultivated forms of myrtle (Myrtus communis, Myrtaceae)
Authors: S. Ser�§e, E. Ekbi�§, J. Suda, K. G�¼nd�¼z and Y. Kiyga
Myrtle is an evergreen shrub or small tree widespread throughout the Mediterranean region. In Turkey, both cultivated and wild forms, differing in plant and fruit size and fruit composition, can be found. These differences may have resulted from the domestication of the cultivated form over a long period of time. We investigat.. Read More»

Genetic characterization of pea (Pisum sativum) germplasm from Turkey using morphological and SSR markers
Authors: G. Sar�±kam�±��, R. Yanmaz, S. Ermi��, M. Bak�±r and C. Y�¼ksel
The need for the conservation of plant genetic resources has been widely accepted. Germplasm characterization and evaluation yield information for more efficient utilization of these valuable resources. The aim of the present study was to characterize the pea germplasm conserved at the Aegean Agricultural Research Institute of.. Read More»

Analysis of QTLs for panicle exsertion and its relationship with yield and yield-related traits in rice (Oryza sativa L.)
Authors: C.F. Zhao, T. Chen*, Q.Y. Zhao, L.H. Zhou, L. Zhao, Y.D. Zhang, Z. Zhu, S. Yao and C.L. Wang
Panicle exsertion (PE) is an important morphological trait that is closely associated with spikelet fertility and grain yield. To understand the genetic basis of PE and its relationships with yield and yield-related traits, a recombinant inbred population consisting of 240 lines derived from a cross between an Indica cultivar ..

Morphological and sequence-related amplified polymorphism-based molecular diversity of local and exotic wheat genotypes
Authors: S.M. Abdelkhalik, A.K.M. Salem, A.R. Abdelaziz, M.H. Ammar
Assessing genetic diversity is a prerequisite for the genetic improvement of wheat. Molecular markers offer accurate and reproducible means for assessing genetic diversity. Field performance and sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP)-based assessment of molecular diversity was carried out on a set of 10 local and intro.. Read More»

Genetic, embryonic and anatomical study of an interspecific cassava hybrid
Authors: N.M.A. Nassar, D.Y. Hashimoto and D.G. Ribeiro
A molecular, anatomical and cytogenetic study of an interspecific hybrid between Manihot esculenta (cassava) and the wild species M. oligantha was carried out. Cytogenetics revealed relatively complete chromosome pairing and high viability of the pollen grains. Ovule structure examined by the clearing method showed polyembryon.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of novel microsatellites for Abies koreana and A. nephrolepis (Pinaceae)
Authors: J.K. Hong, J. Lim, B.Y. Lee and M. Kwak
Abies koreana is an endemic and rare species from Korea and is classified as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Although the genetic diversity assessment for current population of A. koreana needs to be performed urgently, no microsatellite markers have been developed for this species. In the pre.. Read More»

Physiological quality and gene expression related to heat-resistant proteins at different stages of development of maize seeds
Authors: T. Andrade, E.V.R. Von Pinho, R.G. Von Pinho, G.E. Oliveira, V. Andrade and J.S. Fernandes
We quantified and characterized the expression of heat-resistant proteins during seed development of maize lines with distinct levels of tolerance to high drying temperature. A corn field was planted for multiplication of seeds of different lines, two tolerant and two non-tolerant to high drying temperatures. Harvest of the seeds was carried out at variou.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of natural populations of Machilus thunbergii, an endangered tree species in eastern China, determined with ISSR analysis
Authors: J. Liu, H.G. Sun, J.M. Jiang, W.H. Shao and Q.F. Luan
The genetic diversity of 10 Machilus thunbergii populations in eastern China was analyzed using inter-simple sequence repeat markers. The populations showed high genetic diversity, with an overall population genetic diversity of 0.2343. Genetic diversity varied largely among populations, and populations with the highest genetic diversity were mainly from .. Read More»

Genetic diversity of Broussonetia papyrifera populations in southwest China
Authors: S.X. Liao, Z.H. Deng, K. Cui, Y.Z. Cui and C.H. Zhang
Broussonetia papyrifera is an important native tree species with high economic value in southwest China. Its resources are drastically reduced because of over-harvesting and habitat fragmentation. In this study, 17 natural populations of B. papyrifera were analyzed using inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) ma.. Read More»
