Genetic diversity of Bromeliaceae species from the Atlantic Forest

The Bromeliaceae family includes a range of species used for many purposes, including ornamental use and use as food, medicine, feed, and fiber. The state of Espírito Santo, Brazil is a center of diversity for this family in the Atlantic Forest. We evaluated the genetic diversity of five populations of the Bromeliaceae family, including specimens of the gener.. Read More»

Genetic diversity in local and commercial dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) accessions based on microsatellite markers

P.D.S. Cabral, T.C.B. Soares, A.B.P. Lima, F.D. de Miranda, F.B. Souza and L.S.A. GonÃÆÃÂ§alves

Dry beans are considered to be a crop of great socio-economic importance, because they are an inexpensive source of nutrients and because their cultivation requires considerable manual labor. Studies of genetic diversity have been very important for genetic improvement programs, because they give parameters for the identification of genitors that can provide large h.. Read More»

Genetic diversity in three natural populations of Pitcairnia flammea (l.) John (Bromeliaceae) estimated by ISSR markers

F.B. Souza-Sobreira, G.B. Souza, C.C.G. Rosado, F.D. Miranda, T.C.B. Soares, A.B.P.L. Gontijo

Bromeliads are greatly represented in the Atlantic Forest, although many species are threatened with extinction owing to habitat fragmentation and intense extraction for ornamental purposes. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct studies generating knowledge about genetic diversity and the distribution of this diversity among and within natural populations to establi.. Read More»

Molecular characterization of Anthurium genotypes by using DNA fingerprinting and SPAR markers

J.D. Souza Neto, T.C.B. Soares, L.B. Motta, P.D.S. Cabral and J.A. Silva

We characterized single primer amplification reaction (SPAR) molecular markers from 20 genotypes of Anthurium andraeanum Lind., including 3 from commercial varieties and 17 from 2 communities in the State of Espírito Santo, Brazil. Twenty-four SPAR, consisting of 7 random amplified polymorphic DNA and 17 inter-simple sequence repeat markers were used.. Read More»

Genetic stability of micropropagated plants of Crambe abyssinica Hochst using ISSR markers

E.T. Werner, T.C.B. Soares, A.B.P.L. Gontijo, J.D. Souza Neto and J.A.T. do Amaral

Crambe (Crambe abyssinica) is a non-edible annual herb, which was first cultivated to extract oil for industry, and now has great potential for biodiesel production. The objective of this investigation was to evaluate the genetic stability of micropropagated plants of the C. abyssinica Hochst cultivar ‘FMS brilhante’ using polymerase chain reaction techniques based on inter-simple s..

Genetic diversity of yacon accessions using ISSR markers

R.M. Lorenzoni, F. Menine, E. Marques JÃÆÃÂºnior, F.L. Oliveira and T.C.B. Soares

Yacon cultivation has been intensified and the investigations of this crop have increased at the scientific, agricultural, and social levels because the roots of yacon show beneficial properties for human health, such as reducing cholesterol and glucose blood levels. Since the investigations involving yacon are very recent, there is little information available in t.. Read More»
