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»

Development and characterization of microsatellite primers in Pogostemon cablin (Lamiaceae)

    S.S. Sandes, J.B. Pinheiro, M.I. Zucchi, M. Monteiro, M.F. Arrigoni-Blank and A.F. Blank

Microsatellite primers were developed and optimized for patchouli (Pogostemon cablin) to characterize the patchouli Active Germplasm Bank of Universidade Federal de Sergipe. Creation of a genomic library for patchouli enabled the design of 12 microsatellite primers. Six of these microsatellites were polymorphic, revealing two well-defined groups of individuals that possess exclusive alleles. Th.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of Lippia sidoides Cham. and L. gracilis Schauer germplasm

    C.P. Santos, J.B. Pinheiro, M.I. Zucchi, M.M. Bajay, J.B. Campos, M.F. Arrigoni-Blank, J.A.O. Pinto and A.F. Blank

The conservation of plants in germplasm banks ensures the characterization and availability of these resources for future generations. The present study used DNA markers to obtain genetic information about germplasm collections of Lippia sidoides and L. gracilis, which are maintained in an Active Germplasm Bank (AGB). Genetic variability of samples in the AGB was assessed using 12 combinations .. Read More»

atchouli [Pogostemon cablin (Blanco) Benth.] is an aromatic, herbaceous plant belonging to the Lamiaceae family native to Southeast Asia. Its leaves produce an essential oil regularly used by the perfume and cosmetics industries. However, since patchouli from the Philippines and India were described and named Pogostemon patchouli, there has been a divergence in the identity of these species. Th.. Read More»
