Analysis of genetic diversity of Hyptis pectinata (L.) Poit. plants using ISSR markers

Hyptis pectinata, popularly known as ‘sambacaitá’ or ‘canudinho’, is a medicinal and aromatic species widely used in the Brazilian Northeast. In Sergipe, the excessive extraction of natural resources may reduce the genetic variability of native plants. Thus, molecular markers have frequently been applied to the characterization of gene..

Genetic diversity in natural populations of mangaba in Sergipe, the largest producer State in Brazil

    A.N.R. Soares, M.F. Vitória, A.L.S. Nascimento, A.S. Ledo, A.R.C. Rabbani and A.V.C. Silva

Mangaba (Hancornia speciosa Gomes) is found in areas of coastal tablelands in the Brazilian Northeast and Cerrado regions. This species has been subjected to habitat fragmentation that is mainly due to human activity, and requires conservation strategies. The aim of this study was to analyze the structure and inter- and intrapopulation genetic diversity of natural populations of H. speciosa Gom.. Read More»

Estimation of genetic diversity in a natural population of cambui tree (Myrciaria tenella O. Berg) using ISSR markers

    J.G.S. Santana, A.L.S. Nascimento, T.S. Costa, T.M.B. de Almeida, A.R.C. Rabbani and A.V.C. Silva

Cambui (Myrciaria tenella O. Berg) is a native species from Brazil, which belongs to the family Myrtaceae. Molecular characterization is one of the most used tools for the study of the biotechnological potential of species because the diversity level between individuals can be inferred. Analysis of genetic diversity is fundamental to the direction of the strategies .. Read More»

Diversity and genetic structure of mangaba remnants in states of northeastern Brazil

    J.A.E. Amorim, L.R. Mata, A.S. Lédo, V.C.R. Azevedo andA.V.C. Silva

In this study, we analyzed the genetic diversity and structure of remnants of mangaba populations in states of northeastern Brazil by applying 9 microsatellite markers previously developed to establish conservation strategies for germplasm and species preservation. Six to 20 individuals per population were analyzed, with a total of 94 individuals and 6 populations from the states of Ceará.. Read More»

Diversity and genetic stability in banana genotypes in a breeding program using inter simple sequence repeats (ISSR) markers

    A.V.C. Silva, A.L.S. Nascimento, M.F. Vitória, A.R.C. Rabbani, A.N.R. Soares and A.S. Lédo

Banana (Musa spp) is a fruit species frequently cultivated and consumed worldwide. Molecular markers are important for estimating genetic diversity in germplasm and between genotypes in breeding programs. The objective of this study was to analyze the genetic diversity of 21 banana genotypes (FHIA 23, PA42-44, Maçã, Pacovan Ken, Bucaneiro, YB42-47, Gra.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of a native population of Myrcia ovata (Myrtaceae) using ISSR molecular markers

Myrcia ovata Cambess. (Myrtaceae) is a medicinal and aromatic plant that has analgesic, bactericidal and fungicidal properties. Even though this plant has economic potential, nothing is known about the variability and genetic diversity of this species. This information is necessary to establish conservation strategies and allow prospection of natural resources. The .. Read More»
