Genetic diversity assessment of Allium cepa L. cultivars from Bosnia and Herzegovina using SSR makers
Authors: Lutvija Kari??, Maryam Golzardi, Petar Glamo?lija, Jasmin ? utkovi??
The five most common cultivars from the genus Allium cepa L. in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) were analysed, focusing on Konjic onion. Seven SSR markers for genetic similarity analysis were used to address the genetic backgrounds. The polymorphic relationship between the SSR markers was analyzed by using Polymorphic Informatio..

Determination of the number of harvests to select elite sugarcane genotypes in NE Brazil
Authors: J.A. Dutra Filho, T.C. Junior, D. E. Simoes Neto, L. S. Souto, Romulo Gil de Luna A.S. Souza
Sixty-eight sugarcane genotypes were evaluated to determine the number of harvests required to select new genotypes in the sugarcane belt in the state of Pernambuco, northeast Brazil. Using a random block design, the following parameters were evaluated: (i) polarizable sugars (POL) per hectare, in metric tons (TPH); (ii) culm .. Read More»

Characterization of aapP and nopP genes related to the biological nitrogen fixation efficiency with soybean in contrasting strains of Bradyrhizobium japonicum
Authors: J.G. Perin, M.B.D. Bert?©li, J.S. do Valle, G.A. Linde, L.D. Paccola-Meirelles, N.B. Colauto and F.G. Barcellos
Soybean (Glycine max) is considered one of the most economically important agricultural crops in Brazil. Due to the high protein content of its grains, this crop demands a greater amount of nitrogen (N) for production. In general, for soybean, nitrogen fertilization costs through chemical fertilizers are considered high. Howev.. Read More»

Genetic diversity in natural populations of Stylosanthes scabra using ISSR markers
Authors: J.C. Costa, G.G.M. Fracetto, F.J.C. Fracetto, T.C. Souza, M.V.F, Santos and M.A. Lira J?ºnior
Genetic diversity is the basis for genetic improvement, providing genes for new cultivars. Stylosanthes scabra is a legume used in pastures, presenting economic importance in tropical and subtropical regions. Molecular markers are targeted in population studies, thus we evaluated the genetic diversity distribution of S. scabra.. Read More»

Ectopic Expression of AtCIPK23 Enhances Drought Tolerance via Accumulating Less H2O2 in Transgenic Tobacco Plants
Authors: Liming Lu, Linglong Yang, Ke Li, Yifei Lu, Liqin Li
Drought is a major threat to agricultural crop growth and productivity. However, the molecular mechanism behind such effects remains largely unknown. Plant CBL (Calcineurin B-Like)-interacting protein kinases (CIPKs) are believed to play an important role in plant drought tolerance and signalling transduction. Here, we report .. Read More»

Isolation and cross-amplification of fifteen microsatellites for oil-rewarding Calceolaria species (Calceolariaceae)
Authors: M. Mur?ºa, G. Peralta, L. Carrasco, and F. P?©rez
Calceolaria is a diversified American genus whose species are mainly visited by oil-collecting bees, representing a highly specialized plant-pollinator system. However, although this is a unique plant system, different aspects of its ecology and evolution remain unexplored. In this study we characterized fifteen polymorphic mi.. Read More»

Genetic diversity as tool to identify standard leaf nutrients in cassava genotypes
Authors: JAD Giles, WP Rodrigues, G Oliosi, FL Partelli, HD Vieira and Vanderlei da Silva Santos
Among the factors affecting cassava yield, the leaf nutrients content has received little attention since cassava genotypes may grow well under inappropriate nutrient supply, however showing inadequate nutritional quality of tuberous roots. Considering this aspect, the genetic diversity should be explored in order to determine.. Read More»

Large-scale development, characterization, and cross-amplification of ESTâ??SSR markers in Chinese chive
Authors: Qingming Tang, Langbo Yi, Xianglin Yuan, Fu Li
Chinese chive (Allium tuberosum Rottler ex Spr.) is an important vegetable crop. However, genetic and breeding studies of the species have been restricted by the lack of simple sequence repeat markers (SSRs). In the present study, a total of 2553 Chinese chive SSRs were developed from the species’ transcriptome, with 626.. Read More»

Parapatric speciation found in Limnonectes (Dicroglossidae) species in Thailand
Authors: Pimwipa Teerawarunyoo, Chatmongkon Suwannapoom, Phuping Sucharitakul, Kittisak Buddhachat, Waranee Pradit, Korakot Nganvongpanit and Siriwadee Chomdej
Biodiversity stems from speciation, and species identification allows scientists to measure species biodiversity. However, some closely related species, particularly amphibians that choose to inhabit the same environment, are difficult to identify. Juvenile specimens of Limnonectes gyldenstolpei (Lg) and L. taylori (Lt) were u.. Read More»

Cloning and expression analysis of pistillata-like gene in Sedirea japonica
Authors: Suhua Jiang, Suyan Niu, Xiuyun Yuan, Fang Liang, Shenping Xu, Mofei Wang, Bo Cui
Members of the pistillata-like (PI-like) subfamily of plant MADS-box genes play multiple roles in regulation of reproductive meristems and the specification of sepal and petal identities. However, the function of PI-like genes in the Sedirea japonica is largely unknown. In this study, a full-length of PI-like gene in Sedirea j.. Read More»
