Authors: Y. Yang, Z.B. Jing, X.F. Ruan and J.M. Cheng
Persimmon (Diospyros L.) is an economically important fruit in the world, and it has been recognized as a healthy nutrient supply for human consumption. In this study, 14 microsatellite markers were developed from an AG/TC and AC/TG-enriched genomic library of Chinese persimmon Mopanshi. Twelve polymorphic markers were selected in 4 related species; these.. Read More»

Analysis of synonymous codon usage in FAD7 genes from different plant species
Authors: Q.P. Ma, C. Li, J. Wang, Y. Wang and Z.T. Ding
In this study, the codon bias of the FAD7 genes among 10 different plant species was analyzed to identify general patterns of codon usage in the FAD7 genes. Our results showed that U-ended or A-ended codons were preferentially used in FAD7 for dicots, whereas G-ended or C-ended codons were preferentially used in FAD7 for monocots. An ENC-plot showed that .. Read More»

Genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationship among Tunisian cactus species (Opuntia) as revealed by random amplified microsatellite polymorphism markers
Authors: M. Bendhifi Zarroug, G. Baraket, L. Zourgui, S. Souid and A. Salhi Hannachi
Opuntia ficus indica is one of the most economically important species in the Cactaceae family. Increased interest in this crop stems from its potential contribution to agricultural diversification, application in the exploitation of marginal lands, and utility as additional income sources for farmers. In Tunisia, O. ficus indica has been affected by dras.. Read More»

Codon usage bias analysis for the spermidine synthase gene from Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze
Authors: E. You, Y. Wang, Z.T. Ding, X.F. Zhang, L.L. Pan and C. Zheng
The spermidine synthase (SPDS) gene exists widely in all types of plants. In this paper, the codon usage of the SPDS gene from Camellia sinensis (CsSPDS) was analyzed. The results showed that the codon usage of the CsSPDS gene is biased towards the T-ended or A-ended codons, which is similar to that observed in 73 genes selected from the C. sinensis genom..

Comparison of maize similarity and dissimilarity genetic coefficients based on microsatellite markers
Authors: M. Balestre, R.G. Von Pinho, J.C. Souza and J.L. Lima
The present study compared different similarity and dissimilarity coefficients and their influence in maize inbred line clustering. Ninety maize S0:1 inbred lines were used and genotyped with 25 microsatellite markers (simple sequence repeat). The simple matching, Rogers and Tanimoto, Russel and Rao, Hamann, Jaccard, Sorensen-..

Assessment of genetic relationship among Rhododendron cultivars using amplified fragment length polymorphism and inter-simple sequence repeat markers
Authors: J.J. Xu, B. Zhao, H.F. Shen, W.M. Huang and L.X. Yuan
Genetic relationships of 17 Rhododendron cultivars, China, were assessed using inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers. A total of 133 bands were obtained using nine selected ISSR primers, 129 (96.99%) of which were polymorphic; 267 bands were amplified by four AFLP primer pairs, 251 (94.01%) of which .. Read More»

Analysis of genetic diversity among wild bermudagrass germplasm from southwest China using SSR markers
Authors: Y. Ling X.-Q. Zhang X. Ma S.-Y. Chen T.-T. Chen W. Liu
Fifty-five wild accessions of bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon) were collected from southwest China (Sichuan, Chongqing, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Tibet), and their genetic diversity was analyzed using simple sequence repeat markers. A total of 267 polymorphic bands were detected with 18 primer combinations. The genetic similarity among the accessions ranged from 0.. Read More»

Assessment of apple core collections constructed using phenotypic and genotypic data
Authors: W.H. Yun, S.H. Ban, G.H. Kim, J.-H. Kim, S.I. Kwon and C. Choi
Several types of information can be used to select core collections, including passport data, agronomic data, and molecular data. However, little is known about the ability of core collections to retain the genetic diversity and structure of the whole collection for characters that were not considered during the selection, particularly when molecular mark..
