Authors: S.R.C. Marchesin1, M.R. Beguelini1, K.C. Faria2, P.R.L. Moreira1 and E. Morielle-Versute1
A PCR-RFLP analysis of the restriction pattern in nuclear (RAG2) and mitochondrial (12S/16S) gene sequences of bat species from the Molossidae, Phyllostomidae, Vespertilionidae, and Emballonuridae families produced a large number of fragments: 107 for RAG2 and 155 for 12S/16S combined in 139 and 402 haplotypes, respectively. The values detected for gene v.. Read More»

Analysis of genetic diversity and population structure of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) from China and Malaysia based on species-specific simple sequence repeat markers
Authors: L.X. Zhou, Y. Xiao, W. Xia and Y.D. Yang
Genetic diversity and patterns of population structure of the 94 oil palm lines were investigated using species-specific simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. We designed primers for 63 SSR loci based on their flanking sequences and conducted amplification in 94 oil palm DNA samples. The amplification result showed that a rela.. Read More»

Analysis of the genetic diversity of super sweet corn inbred lines using SSR and SSAP markers
Authors: W.R. Ko1*, K.J. Sa1*, N.S. Roy3, H.-J. Choi2 and J.K. Lee1
In this study, we compared the efficiency of simple sequence repeat (SSR) and sequence specific amplified polymorphism (SSAP) markers for analyzing genetic diversity, genetic relationships, and population structure of 87 super sweet corn inbred lines from different origins. SSR markers showed higher average gene diversity and Shannon’s information i.. Read More»

Construction and analysis of a suppression subtractive hybridization library of regeneration-related genes in soybean
Authors: J. Sun, J. Li, M. Liu, B.B. Zhang, D.M. Li, M. Wang, C. Zhang,W.B. Li, A.Y. Su and X.X. Wu
The development of a genetic transformation system is needed to address the problem of the low efficiency associated with soybean regeneration. To contribute to the enhancement of the soybean regenerative capacity, we explored the developmental mechanisms of soybean regeneration at the molecular level using a suppression subtractive hybridization cDNA librar..

Effect of selective logging on genetic diversity and gene flow in Cariniana legalis sampled from a cacao agroforestry system.
Authors: J.B. Leal, R.P. Santos and F.A. Gaiotto
The fragments of the Atlantic Forest of southern Bahia have a long history of intense logging and selective cutting. Some tree species, such as jequitibá rosa (Cariniana legalis), have experienced a reduction in their populations with respect to both area and density. To evaluate the possible effects of selective loggin.. Read More»

Genome-wide analysis and identification of KT/HAK/KUP potassium transporter gene family in peach (Prunus persica)
Authors: Z.Z. Song, R.J. Ma and M.L. Yu
The KT/HAK/KUP family members encoding high-affinity potassium (K+) transporters mediate K+ transport across the plasma membranes of plant cells to maintain plant normal growth and metabolic activities. In this paper, we identified 16 potassium transporter genes in the peach (Prunus persica) using the Hidden Markov model scanning strategy and searching th.. Read More»

Cloning and expression analysis of cysteine protease gene (MwCP) in Agropyron mongolicum Keng
Authors: T.G.B.Y. Ao1,3, M.L. Lang2, Y.Q. Li3, Y. Zhao1, L.C. Wang1 and X.J. Yang1,2,4
In this study, a cysteine protease gene (MwCP) from Agropyron mongolicum Keng was isolated using RACE. Sequence analysis indicated that MwCP was 1473 bp, and it contained a 1134-bp open reading frame, which encoded 377 amino acids with a 24-amino acid N-terminal signal peptide. The results indicated that the MwCP protein was a new member of the papain C1A.. Read More»

Editorâ??s homage to Warwick Kerr
Authors: W.E. Kerr S. Wright
Our journal published a dedicatory session in honor of Professor Warwick Estevam Kerr. Much can be said about Professor Kerr, but in his honor this editor has decided to republish one of his first scientific papers, originally published 55 years ago in the journal Evolution 8: 172-177 (1954). Considered one of the classic pape.. Read More»

Many species are expected to suffer strong shifts in their geographic ranges due to climate changes in the next 50 years, with severe consequences for biodiversity patterns and population structure. We used here an ensemble forecast approach for obtaining species’ range in which multiple species distribution models and c.. Read More»

Comparative petiole anatomy of cassava (Manihot) species
Authors: D. Graciano-Ribeiro1,3, D.Y. Hashimoto-Freitas2 and N.M.A. Nassar3
In this study, we describe the petiole anatomy of six wild cassava (Manihot) species, one hybrid, and two cultivars of Manihot esculenta, in order to identify their dominant anatomical patterns and relate them to possible adaptations to abiotic factors in the Cerrado biome. The median parts of several petiole samples were transversally and longitudinally .. Read More»
