Genetic divergence in elite castor bean lineages based on TRAP markers

Castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) is a tropical plant of great commercial interest and a potential source of biodiesel. The development of genetically improved cultivars with high amounts of oil in the seeds and low ricin toxicity is crucial to increase the productivity of this crop. The use of TRAP (target region amplification polymorphism) markers to develop elite.. Read More»

Genetic divergence through joint analysis of morphoagronomic and molecular characters in accessions of Jatropha curcas

    C.N. Pestana-Caldas, S.A. Silva, E.L. Machado, D.R. de Souza,E.C. Cerqueira-Pereira and M.S. Silva

The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic divergence between accessions of Jatropha curcas through joint analysis of morphoagronomic and molecular characters. To this end, we investigated 11 morphoagronomic characters and performed molecular genotyping, using 23 inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) primers in 46 accessions of J. curcas. We calculated the c.. Read More»

Development of TRAP primers for Ricinus communis L.

    K.S. Simões, S.A. Silva, E.L. Machado and H.S. Brasileiro

The objective of this article was to develop TRAP (target region amplification polymorphism) primers for castor bean, with the goal of making functional markers available for genetic studies about the species. To do this, oligonucleotides were designed based on ESTs, obtained from the NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information) databank, which code enzymes .. Read More»
