Authors: Z.B. Li, G. Dai, J.B. Shangguan, Y.F. Ning, Y.Y. Li, R.B. Chen, Y. Yuan and Y.S. Huang
Curry fish (Stichopus horrens) is a tropical holothurian species and is widely distributed in the India-West Pacific. In the present study, 9 polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized for S. horrens. These loci were tested in 30 individuals from Hainan Island in China. The number of alleles ranged from 2 to 5. The polymorphism inform.. Read More»

Genetic variation in a wild population of the �sleep� passion fruit (Passiflora setacea) based on molecular markers
Authors: C.B.M. Cerqueira-Silva, E.S.L. Santos, L.D.H.C.S. Concei�§�£o, C.B. Cardoso-Silva, A.S. Pereira, A.C. Oliveira and R.X. Corr�ªa
Little is known about the molecular genetic diversity of most Passiflora species. We used RAPD markers to evaluate the genetic diversity of 24 genotypes of the ‘sleep’ passion fruit (Passiflora setacea). Twelve primers generated 95 markers, 88% of which were polymorphic. The genetic distance estimated by the comple.. Read More»

Cryopreservation of Schisandra chinensis (Turcz.) Baill callus and subsequent plant regeneration
Authors: D. Sun, Y.-F. Yu, H.-Y. Qin, P.-L. Xu, Y. Zhao, Y.-X. Liu, Z.-X. Wang, S.-T. Fan, Y.-M. Yang and J. Ai
Cryopreservation has been proven significance as a technique for promising the long-term conservation of plant germplasms. This study aimed to establish a cryopreservation protocol for calli of Schisandra chinensis (Turcz.) Baill, and to explore the effects of different process parameters on callus viability. Effects of desicc.. Read More»

Polymorphic microsatellite markers for the endangered fish, the slender shiner Pseudopungtungia tenuicorpa and cross-species amplification across five related species
Authors: K.S. Ki, S.J. Moo, S.H. Han2, K.Y. Kim and I.C. Bang
The slender shiner Pseudopungtungia tenuicorpa (Cypriniformes; Cyprinidae; Gobioninae) is an endangered freshwater fish species endemic to Korea. The current strategies for its conservation involve the study of population genetic characters and identification of management units. These strategies require suitable molecular mar.. Read More»

Identification and characterization of conserved microRNAs and their target genes in wheat (Triticum aestivum)
Authors: Z.J. Yin and F.F. Shen
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding small RNAs that regulate gene expression by translational repression or transcript degradation. A large number of miRNAs have been identified from model plant species; however, the character of conserved miRNAs is poorly understood. We studied 42 miRNA families that are conserved within the pl.. Read More»

Genetic relationship between the Nordestino horse and national and international horse breeds
Authors: D.A.F. Pires, E.G.A. Coelho, J.B. Melo, D.A.A. Oliveira, M.N. Ribeiro, E. Gus Cothran and R. Juras
Knowledge of genetic diversity and relationships between breeds is very important for conservation programs. Hair samples were collected from 393 individual Nordestino horses and genotyped using 14 microsatellite markers in order to investigate the genetic relationship between this breed and 66 international horse breeds. Ther.. Read More»

Genetic variability in Melipona scutellaris from Rec�´ncavo, Bahia, Brazil
Authors: J.L. Viana, A.K. Francisco, C.A.L. Carvalho and A.M. Waldschmidt
Bees play a key role in pollination and thereby help maintain plant diversity. The stingless bee Melipona scutellaris is an important pollinator in northeastern Brazil because it is endemic to this region. Both deforestation and timber harvesting have reduced the nesting sites for this species, thus reducing its population and range. Genetic studies may h.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of gabiroba based on random amplified polymorphic DNA markers and morphological characteristics
Authors: E.S. de Assis, E.F. dos Reis, J.F.N. Pinto, L.A.S. Contim and L.A.S. Dias
The fragmentation of the original vegetation of the Cerrado biome, caused by the expansion of agricultural areas, mainly in central-west Brazil, calls for an assessment of the native population of this vegetation, especially of the species of interest for domestication and sustainable use. The purpose of this study was to characterize the genetic diversit.. Read More»
