Analysis of genetic variability of commercial melon cultivars using SSR molecular markers

Taking into account the scenario of melon production (Cucumis melo L.) in Brazil, it is notable the importance of the culture in the fruit market. The preference of the national market is concentrated in the fruits of the yellow type. Therefore, it is possible that the genetic base of the commercial cultivars is relatively narrow due to the loss of important genes i.. Read More»

Genetic variation detected by RAPD markers in natural populations of babassu palm (Attalea speciosa Mart.)

    M.F. Santos, K.J. Damasceno-Silva, M.A. Carvalhaes and P.S.C. Lima

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of management on the genetic structure of natural populations of Attalea speciosa in the State of Piauí, Brazil, using randomamplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. Three babassu populations under different management systems were selected. Polymerase chain reactions were performed for 20 RAPD primers. A total of 146 bands were gener.. Read More»

Determination of the genetic diversity among accessions of Senna spectabilis (canaf�­stula) by using RAPD markers

    M.F. Santos1, R.B. Araújo Neto2, M.P.S.B.C. Nascimento2 and P.S.C. Lima2

Senna spectabilis (DC.) H.S. Irwin & Barneby (Fabaceae; Caesalpinioideae), commonly known as “canafístula” or “cassia”, is widely used in the semi-arid region of northeastern Brazil as a source of forage and timber. The plant presents a high nutritional content in comparison with other forage species that are native to the Brazilian Caatinga; thus, it represen.. Read More»
