QTL mapping of soybean oil content for marker-assisted selection in plant breeding program
Authors: D.C. Leite1, J.B. Pinheiro2, J.B. Campos2, A.O. Di Mauro1 and S.H. Un�ªda-Trevisoli1
The present study was undertaken to detect and map the quantitative trait loci (QTL) related to soybean oil content. We used 244 progenies derived from a bi-parental cross of the Lineage 69 (from Universidade Estadual Paulista “Júlio de Mesquita Filho”/Faculdade de Ciências Agrárias e Veterinárias - Breeding Program)..

Molecular phylogenetics of the white-lipped peccary (Tayassu pecari) did not confirm morphological subspecies in northwestern South America
Authors: M. Ruiz-GarcÃ?Âa, M. Pinedo-Castro, K. Luengas-Villamil, C. VergaraJ.A. Rodriguez and J.M. Shostell
We sequenced the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region of 59 peccaries (44 white-lipped peccaries, Tayassu pecari, and 15 collared peccaries, Pecari tajacu). We also genotyped 3 DNA microsatellites from 78 white-lipped peccaries representing the 4 putative morphological subspecies (i.e., spiradens, aequatoris, pecari, and albirostris) present in northw..

Carcass and meat quality traits in Nellore and F1 Nellore-Araguaia crosses
Authors: N.V. Costa, C. Aboujaoude, G.S. Vieira, V.V. Paiva, R.A. Moraes Neto,V.S. Gondim, L.R. Alves, M.C.L. Torres and R.C. Antunes
We evaluated and compared carcass traits and meat quality in Nellore cattle and F1 crosses between Nellore and Araguaia, where 17 individuals were from the Nellore group and 19 were ½ Nellore and ½ Araguaia crosses. All animals belonged to the same birth season and were raised in pasture systems under the same nutritional, environmental, and.. Read More»

Genetic control of the number of leaves above the ear in maize
Authors: A.I. Freire, K.O.G. Dias, L.B.V. Oliveira, R.S. Nalin, F.L. Guedes and J.C. Souza
In this study, we examined the genetic control of the number of leaves above the first ear in maize. The F2 generations and the backcrosses were obtained from 2 contrasting lines for this trait. All generations were assessed in a completely randomized block design with 2 replications. The number of leaves above the ear was counted when the plants were in .. Read More»

Random amplified polymorphic DNA analysis of salt-tolerant tobacco mutants generated by gamma radiation
Authors: Ã?Â?. Ã?Â?elik and Ã?Â?. Atak
Salinity is one of the major problems limiting the yield of agricultural products. Radiation mutagenesis is used to improve salt-tolerant mutant plants. In this study, we aimed to improve salt-tolerant mutants of two oriental tobacco varieties. One thousand seeds of each variety (M0) were irradiated with 100, 200, 300, and 400 Gy gamma rays by Cs-137 gamm.. Read More»

Genetic analysis of seed-shattering genes in rice using an F3:4 population derived from an Oryza sativa x Oryza rufipogon cross
Authors: S.-J. Kwon, J. Yu, Y.J. Park, J.-H. Son, N.-S. Kim and J.K. Lee
Seed shattering of wild plant species is thought to be an adaptive trait to facilitate seed dispersal. For rice breeding, seed shattering is an important trait for improving breeding strategies, particularly when developing lines use interspecific hybrids and introgression of genes from wild species. We developed F3:4 recombinant inbred lines from an.. Read More»

RAPD analysis of selected local Turkish grape cultivars (Vitis vinifera)
Authors: H. KarataÃ?Â? and Y.S. AÃ?Â?aoÃ?Â?lu
Turkey is very rich in local grape varieties. The solution to the problem of identifying local cultivars, which is considered an important deficiency for the region, will only be possible when they can be defined with molecular markers. Forty-nine local grapevine cultivars from Ã?Â?anlÃ?±urfa (Turkey) were characterized with .. Read More»

Soybean genotypes MG/BR46 (Conquista) and BR16, drought-tolerant and -sensitive, respectively, were compared in terms of morphophysiological and gene-expression responses to water stress during two stages of development. Gene-expression analysis showed differential responses in Gmdreb1a and Gmpip1b mRNA expression within 30 da.. Read More»

Meiotic behavior as a selection tool in silage corn breeding
Authors: V.F. Souza, M.S. Pagliarini, C.A. Scapim, M. Rodovalho and M.V. Faria
In breeding programs, commercial hybrids are frequently used as a source of inbred lines to obtain new hybrids. Considering that maize production is dependent on viable gametes, the selection of populations to obtain inbred lines with high meiotic stability could contribute to the formation of new silage corn hybrids adapted t..

Efficient development of polymorphic microsatellite loci for Pteroceltis tatarinowii (Ulmaceae)
Authors: Efficient development of polymorphic microsatellite loci for Pteroceltis tatarinowii
Pteroceltis tatarinowii (Ulmaceae) is a scientifically and economically important temperate deciduous tree that is endemic to China. In the present study, 12 P. tatarinowii polymorphic microsatellite loci were developed using the tailed primer-M13-simple sequence repeats (TP-M13-SSR) biotin-capture method. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 2 to .. Read More»
