Heterozygosities and genetic relationship of tea cultivars revealed by simple sequence repeat markers and implications for breeding and genetic mapping programs
Authors: L.Q. Tan, C.C. Zhang, G.N. Qi, L.Y. Wang, K. Wei, S.X. Chen1,Y. Zou, L.Y. Wu and H. Cheng
Genetic maps are essential tools for quantitative trait locus analysis and marker-assisted selection breeding. In order to select parents that are highly heterozygous for genetic mapping, the heterozygosity (HS) of 24 tea cultivars (Camellia sinensis) was analyzed with 72 simple sequence repeat markers. In total, 359 alleles were obtained with an average of .. Read More»

Molecular mapping of genes for opposite leafing in maize using simple-sequence repeat markers
Authors: Y.Q. Tan, C.X. Xie, H.Y. Jiang, H. Ye, Y. Xiang, S.W. Zhu and B.J. Cheng
Maize with opposite phyllotaxy (OP) and also initiating ears in opposite pairs is an aberrant mutant and also precious material for maize breeding and plant evolution studies. Mapping and identifying the markers closely linked to genes for the OP trait are essential for cloning the gene and marker-assisted selection in breedin.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of the anthocyanidin genes pal, f3h and dfr of Scutellaria viscidula (Lamiaceae)
Authors: W. Lei, R.X. Yao, X.H. Kang, S.H. Tang, A.M. Qiao and M. Sun
Anthocyanidin is a group of flavonoid compounds used as a vegetable pigment and plays an important role in flower coloration and environmental adaptations of the Chinese ornamental plant Scutellaria viscidula. We determined the cDNA sequences of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (SvPAL), flavanone 3-hydroxylase (SvF3H) and dihydrofl.. Read More»

Identification of genes involved in spontaneous leaf color variation in Pseudosasa japonica
Authors: H.Y. Yang, X.W. Xia, W. Fang, Y. Fu, M.M. An and M.B. Zhou
Spontaneous leaf color variation in bamboo provides the opportunity to study the mechanisms of leaf color formation and the breeding of ornamental bamboos. Despite the fact that many genes are known to be involved in leaf color variation in model plants, molecular mechanisms governing natural leaf color variation in bamboo hav.. Read More»

High yield of functional metagenomic library from mangroves constructed in fosmid vector
Authors: A.C.S. Gon?§alves, A.C.F. dos Santos, T.F. dos Santos, T.B.A. Pessoa, J.C.T. Dias and R.P. Rezende
In the present study, metagenomic technique and fosmid vectors were used to construct a library of clones for exploring the biotechnological potential of mangrove soils by isolation of functional genes encoding hydrolytic enzymes. The library was built with genomic DNA from the soil samples of mangrove sediments and the functi.. Read More»

Trans-resveratrol concentrations and antimutagenic potential of juice from the grape cultivars V?ªnus, BRS Violeta and Isabel
Authors: N.C.V. Polonio, C.L.M.S.C. Rocha and E. Clemente
Grape juice, in addition to being an energetic food, due to its high sugar content, has several compounds that can prevent or treat various types of diseases. Resveratrol is a compound present in grapes that has attracted a lot of interest; in addition to preventing cardiovascular disease linked to lipid metabolism, it has che.. Read More»

Assessing wheat (Triticum aestivum) genotypes for â??Yrâ? resistance genes using conserved regions and simple-sequence motifs
Authors: E. Cabuk, Y. Aydin and A.A. Uncuoglu
Analysis of DNA sequence variation among genotypes is useful for differentiation of wheat accessions, selection strategies and genetic development of crop plants. We screened molecular markers for yellow rust resistance genes (Yr7, Yr9, Yr15, Yr18, Yr26, and YrH52), which are in the gene-rich regions of wheat chromosomes 1B, 2.. Read More»

Detection of genetically modified maize and soybean in feed samples
Authors: S. Meri?§, ??. ??ak?±r, N. Turgut-Kara and ??. Ar?±1,
Despite the controversy about genetically modified (GM) plants, they are still incrementally cultivated. In recent years, many food and feed products produced by genetic engineering technology have appeared on store shelves. Controlling the production and legal presentation of GM crops are very important for the environment an.. Read More»

Genetic diversity among Zygophyllum (Zygophyllaceae) populations based on RAPD analysis
Authors: I. Hammad and S.H. Qari
Zygophyllum species are succulent plants that are drought resistant and/or salt tolerant, growing under severe, dry climatic conditions. Despite their importance and abundance in the Mediterranean and Middle East regions, there is little information concerning molecular variations among species of this genus. Genetic diversity..
